Editor News-Times:
Sir: 1t was a great pleasure for
any citizen Of South Bend and Mish-
awake 10 notice the great enthusI-
asm displayed in your last Sunday
News-Times, the Willingness to help
open the door for the opportunity
to enter promised by South Bend
business men and manufacturers can
not help but make one feel optimis-
tic. There is no reason why the
same organizations that were able
through it's efforts to put a stop to
the greatest destruction the world
has ever experienced would not be
able 10 employ the same efforts to-
ward construction. All il requires
for same is one TO make a good
start: it's human nature to initiate.
The kaiser has made a start for de-
struction and other nations have
followed him. The entire American
nation has become great and famous
just because il had always believed
in construction. South Bend needs
a.
some good looking buildings. Right
across the-way there is an ideal cor
ner for an apartment house for the
purpose of housing the coming office
help or a public building facing La
fayette blvd
When / stepped off at the Lake
Shore depot upon my first arrival al
South Bend Is years ago, it looked
more like Osceola than South Bend,
with the exception of the Stu
debaker buildings. The first impress
sion upon any one coming out of
the depot is worse today than it was
then.
Prosperity like everything else
needs a start. Let us all put, our in
dividuai effort toward the start and
get ready for the biggest prosperity
America has ever experienced and
the sooner the start is made the bet
tr II will be with our boys coming

ployed and which will keep boil

The Melting Pot
COMET TAKE POTLUCK
WITH Us

Is the war being easily forgotten
When the Hun was pressing the
French back at Chateau Thierry and
the country on this side OF the At
lantic was showing the widest pa
triotism, it was impossible 10 find
German fried potatoes Hungarian
goulash. or any of the dishes whose
name savored of the central powers,
on any South Bend bill of fare. No
sir. it was unpatriotic TO even use a
German name in any other manner
than that of denunciation- And what
was true in South Bend was true of
every other city in the whole United
States
But the war is ended, and the
great hatred for things German has
apparently been forgotten. The
other day in Chicago william Hale
Thompson was renvminated for
mayor of the Windy City. and in
/ South Bend a short time ago a
physician, who was active in all OF
the Liberty loan drives told one IF
/ his patients that he was about 20
come down with German measles.
And in addition 90 these things,
i South Bend restaurants are again
serving Hamburger steaks without
even attempting 10 disguise them
either as to name or contents.
| However. war is an awful thing,
and its effects are lasting. So prob
ably it is just as well to forget it as
quickly as possible. Speaking of the
| effects OF the war, all one has 10 do
is to point to the postwar styles in
mems clothes TO cite a horrible eN-
ample of the horribleness and
| awfulness of war. The show win
dOws in Michigan st. or on any OF
the other business highways of this
growing metropolis or northern In
diana display these postwar fash
| ions. But the most horrible thing OF
the whole business is that there are
/ hundreds and hundreds of young
men right here in this city who
really love these new styles. They
say they are so Frenchy. OF course
that may take the sting out of them
!
IL is only a few hours more now
comparatively speaking, until March
will make its. entrance either like d
lion or like a lamb.

heart of every reporter TO find thai

In regard to a statement in the
