PETER OUT" PATRIOTS"

Ellis Parker Butler, Of The
Vigilantes, writes as follows:
The verb to peter-out" is a
queer one. The dictionary says
its origin is uncertain, but | have
an idea it comes from the Peter
whose loyalty to Christ faltered
when the cock crew thrice. He
was faithful when the cock crew
once, and when the cock crew
twice, but his morale weakened
as the long night dragged.
He "petered-out." He "came
back" however. He was the
rock on which the church was
founded at last.
The American who weakens
and then strengthens is not as
bad as the Judas who sells his
country. He can "come back"
The patriot who weakens and
then "comes back" only comes
back because there are others
who do not weaken. If we all
weakened it would be all over
with us, and with patriotism, and
with America. Freedom would
be dead; autocracy would rule.
Don't you be the one to weak
enl Don't you be the 'peter-
ont" patriot. Perhaps you can
yassed in the last Red Cross or
Liberty Loan campaign, and in
the one before that, and the one
before than, but now you are so
tired You'll let some other fell
low do it.
Don't do that! Buck upl
You've made a good record SO
far; keep it up. Let on that
you've enlisted for the war; if
you peter out" you are a de
serter.
And don't think it will not be
known Already, here and there,
you hear people saying of this one
and that one, sob! he's a peter
ont patriot. He was mighty won
derful while the job was fresh
and interesting but look at him
now! He's quit ~
The peter-out patriot is motto
ed because there are so few of
him. He sticks up like sore
thumb. He is the woman who
was going to let her automobile
be used whenever needed for 10y
al work and who just can't spare
it now. He is the child who gave
up candy and gum to buy Thrift
Stamps, until he forgot. He is
the man who ate nationally until
he lost the novelty of it and then
began stuffing his over-eXtended
belly again. He is the woman
who planted her garden but

and the other to the building to arouse
the tenants.
The Dolbys We're awakened by their
house dog. which jumped upon the bed
of John, Mr.. Dolby's son. Mr.. and Mrs.
Written, with their two small children
went, scantily clad, to neighbours.
The Dolbys We're also cared for by
neighbors.
Walter Whitaker and Hollis Shir-
ling, who aroused the Whittens. were
trapped by falling ceilings while trying
to save furniture. and escaped just as
the roof fell in. The firemen were
handicapped by the zero weather.
