important cities. scattered through
out practically every state in the
Union. have accepted membership in
the Honorary Committee which will
assist the National Security League,
and associated patriotic bodies.
in the promotion of great
nationwide celebration of the birth
day of the American Constitution on
September II. This committee will
also aid the Security Leagues Organ
ization Committee. which is headed
by DIR. David Jayne Hill, the we'll
known historian and diplomat, in the
preliminary educational propaganda
of Constitutional popularization and
Interpretation which the committee
is already conducting throughout the
country to give added force and
meaning to the celebration.
The National Security League en-
listed the cooperation of the great
patriotic organizations of the coun-
try in this effort as a means of com
batting Bolshevism by going to the
rost of the evil. In all its many ac-
tivities against the growing menace
of Bolshevism in this country, which
are occupying the principal attention
of the Security League at this time,
the League is working on the basic
idea that the best antidote for Boil
shevism is mericanism and that
tlmericanism is purely a question OF
education. Believing that thorough
knowledge and appreciation of the
real meanings of American institu-
tions and ideals by all the people will
effectually overcome all un-Ameri-
can doctrine. the Security Leauge
launched this great nationwide Con-
stitutional celebration and Relimi-
nary campaign of interpreta aon as
the best means to this end.

Why Pennsylvanians
Should Buy Bonds

Pennsylvanians are going to
buy Victory Liberty Loan Bonds
for the same reasons that they
bought Liberty Bonds of the first,
second, third and fourth issues.
First-Because the debt incur
red by the United States of
European war is just as much
the debt of any one of us as it is
the debt of the Nation.
Second The debt of the
United States is not a scrap of
paper" and cannot be destroyed.
1t is the duty of every one of us
to do everyNhing in our power
to reduce the debt.
Third-When we buy Victory
Bonds we do not give our money
away. What we do with it is
loan it to Uncle Sam for a period
of four years at an interest rate
better than can ordinarily be
secured. During the time he has
our money, Uncle Sans pays us
for the use of it, and at the eX-
piration of the four-year period,
he gives us back what we loaned
him, with interest.
Pennsylvanians are going to
buy Victory Liberty Bonds be-
cause in every war since the
United States of America became
the United States of America,
Pennsylvanians have been fore
most in patriotic endeavor. From
the time of Valley Forge Penn
sylvania has never faltered. I
predict that the State will, as
usual. lead the Nation in sub
scriptions to Liberty Bonds.

Should we fail to do so. then we
are not true patriots. To buy bonds
we become thrifty and help the
Government, and in that way become
better citizens. 1t is as safe as put

FILIPINO PROVERBS
BY Jorge Bocobo, Member of Philip
pine Mission, and Dean, College of
Law, University of the Philippines.

Washington, May 3O.-The longing
of the Filipino people for independ-
ence is nourished by very deep and
earnest desire to develop their own
individuality as a nation.
Indicative Of the existence of Fill
Pine national genius are the purely
Filipino songs, legends and proverbs
which have been handed down by word
of mouth from generation to genera
ton. | have picked the following
Filipino proverbs at random from my.
collection of several hundred, which
were all obtained from actual CONVEX
sation with Filipinos, mostly old men.
| have translated them from the Phil
ippine languages as closely as posi-
bic, thus preserving not only the sense
but also the mode Of expression. Lord
Bacon said: "The genius, wit, and
spirit of a nation are discovered in its
proverbs" knowledge of Filipino
proverbs therefore gives an insight
into the psychology of the Filipino
race.
BRAVERY. A hero is Drawer for
his wounds. 2. 1t is too late to with
draw when you are already wounded.
CAUTION. A fish is caught by
the mouth. 2. Repentance never
comes first. 3. Haste creates delay.
CHARACTER. Whichever side a
tree leans, there it falls. 2. IT'S easy
to be born, tbs hard to be man. 8.
He who is raised in ease is usually
destitute.
CHOICE--He who is hard to suit
will choose the worst.
COMPENSATION, LAW Of.
The mushroom always grows with a
counterpart. 2. You laugh today, l
laugh tomorrow.
COUNSEL. He who despises
counsel is on the way to misfortune.
2, Whoever believes everything said
has no mind Of his own.
DISDAIN You may dislike, but
never despise.
FAULT-FINDING The fault-find-
err has the biggest faults.
F0OLS-1. A wise mans joke is be-
lieved by fool g. It is foolish to ar
que with fool.
FORESIGHT Strength yields to
plan. 2. Working early is better than
working hard.
FRIENDSHIP-Let us fight, then
be friends.
GOOD DEEDS. Good deeds are
more precious than gold and silver
2. Kindness is great capital.
GRATITUDE--Ki Kindness is with
kindness to be paid, not with gold and
silver.

finger is the suffering of the whole
body.
HONOR. Even the poor love
honor. g. Break your head but not

Sweet, winsome Lila Lee scored a
veritable triumph in ''The Secret Gar
den," her new photoplay based upon
Frances Hodgson Burnett's celebrated
novel of the same name. There is
nothing that is commonplace about
'The Secret Garden" 1t is beauti-
full story, told with distinction, direct
ed by an artist, and played by an ex-
celleHt company with little Miss Lila
easily carrying off the acting honors
The perturbation was made by
Marion Fairfax from Frances Hodg-
son Burnett's famous story. 1t shows
how little girl, who has been reared
by her parents who were unkind to
her, is brought to an old English
house. She is literally starving for
love, and all the cruelty and worst
side of her child nature have been
brought out by her association with
wild men and beasts.
In the English house curious condi-
tons are brought to her notice. She
finds boy, who thinks himself a
cripple, and who is made to think he is
uncurable by his uncle, doctor, who
hopes to inherit the large estate to
which the boy is the logical heir. The
little girl, Mary Lenox, gets the boy
out into the sunshine and convinces
him that he is not i'll. The spirit of
of love and helpfulness are awakened
in her. Gradually she brightens the
cold, unattractive house, even wedding
out and planting the secret garden,
which the owner of the house had kept
locked since his young wife died there
years ago. And in the end we find the
apparently crippled boy made whole
and wearing the uniform of an Eng
lish army lieutenant, while Mary Len
OK is about to become his bride.
The appeal of this story is tremen-
duous, and its moral value is brought
out to the full. But the story also
takes precedence over the lesson, the
picture is never preachy. 1t is en-
tertaining turnout, and is enlivened
with charming touches of comedy.
Miss Lee gives us her best piece Of
acting in the character of Mary Len
OK. She shows the change in the
child's nature, bringing out the differ
ences and the easy, gradual growth of
Mary Lenox, as the little girl comes to
recognize spiritual values. This char
acterization stamps Miss Lee as
screen actress Of more than ordinary
talent. There is something noteworthy
in the way she can change from one
character to another and make the
whole an artistic picture.
