IT reminded one OF a baby elephant
except that it was, if possible, a
= little more clumsy in appearance.
1t nOsed its way along the street, ut
terly Indifferent to the mob of small
boys that troOped at its heels or ran
along at its side in a frantic effort
10 keep up with its elephantine pro
gress. 1t didn' t look 50 very dangerous
though, in its gay eamOuflage gown Of
blue and yellow; somehow. in spite Of
its rather vicious attacks on any OBJ
staele that happened to be in its way,
IL was a trifle hard to think Of it in
connection with the ruthless battles in
which the tank corps always covered
themselves with glory and the oppOs-
ing troops with dismay. All the things
that were said of its marvellous PROV
ess, however, were the truth. Size does
Mt count for much, sometimes, and ae-
eording to the tales of the soldiers
who accompanied it, size counts for
nothing whatever at certain stages of
a war game. Mute evidence of the fact
lay in the gold wound stripes on the
0live-drab sleeves Of those who had
fought with il; greater evidence in the
havoc il left behind it among the arm
les from the Rhineland.
The Salem banks have put the city
over the top in the victory liberty loan
but there IS no one who saw the
plueky little tank parade last Thurs
day and heard Robin Day, who fought
his way through the red school of war
experience, speak as a representative
of those who never will speak to us
again, who will let the burden rest on
the loyal shoulders of those who so
patriOtieally placed Salem as an ex-
ample TO the rest Of the state.
Patriotism is the most admirable
quality Of the American race. Patriot.

college cook, whose Acquaintance, VI
ter the manner of diplomatic schoo
boys John Mccormack had cultivated
studoiusly.
"You' re a fine singer, Johnnie, >
she said after the concert ''but you
spoil It all by singing in a foreign Ian
guage.
He had really sung in English, vel
understood by Maggie, but had mouth
ed his words until they were unlntel
lhgible. One Of the great singers most
notable attributes now, is his excellent
dietion.
