MELTING POT FAILS TO MELT
Trouble Is, According to Writer, That
the Stocking of the Fires is
Neglected.

| Ihfs melting pot of ours has been
asked to melt up more different kinds
OF stun than the department Of min
eraiogy ever heard of. It's got more
things In II than a New England boiled
dinner, or rummage sale, Porter EN-
erson Browne writes in McClure's.
And to have gotten all these lngretfY-
ents properly melted would have meant
that every second man was a stoker
and every first coal miner.
But Instead OF that, every second
man has been a motorcar manufacture
er and every first an open market.
And the result has been that so far
from melting these different ingredi-
ents, we haven't done anything with
them at all. They have just been
dumped In and lain there, here a pile
or Armsnians, there a bunch of Ger
mans. over yonder a pile of Jews, and
beyond that chunk of Chinese. And
New York, which has been our biggest
receiving station. has come to take on
the appearance OF one Of those dishes
OF hors doeuvres that you strike In
Italian restaurants-sardn In one
compartment. olives in another, sau-
sage In third, anchovies in a fourth,
and so on. all separate. distinctive and

And as the United States comprises
u states so does each OF our states
comprise 4S or more cities, and each
Of our cities 4S different colonies of un-
mixed and often unmixable national

REMINDS SOLDIERS OF HOME
Small Goddess Of Liberty In Paris A.
tracks Americans to Bridge Where
She Stands

There is little old bridge In Paris
In an out-of-the-way part Of the city
that Is being trod by many Yankee
feet these days.
The Eiffel tower Is about three.
fourths Of . mile away, and the dis
lance between the tower and the little
bridge IL about as unattractive as you
could ind In Paris. Nor does the
bridge-ca!led the pont de 0repelie--
lead you across the Seine to any sight
seeing place.
But that bridge supports in Its center
a statue OF the Goddess Of Liberty, the
same glorious lady who holds aloft her
name OF righteousness in New York
harbor. A great many Americans have
learned on this bridge that the Goddess
OF Liberty was a gift from France to
America. The description on the ped
estal records this fact and there fol-
lows In French an excerpt from the let
ter OF acceptance of Vice President
Morton.
The figure Is only about Is feet tall,
but the disparity In size as compared
with the original permitted one imag-
