BILL HART TALKS TO BOYS:
Truth is the Hardest Hitter in
the World"
BY BILL HART

Honor is the greatest principle of
man.
1t is a thing every boy must pos
sesS and is as essential as the air
you breathe. There is an old adage
which says even thieves have honor.
If honor exists among THE class of
men THAT have strayed from the
straight paths what would clean liv-
ing boys be without it. The world
simply could not go on without honor.
Kaiser Bill found that out.
Any boy bred in this wonderful
country of ours can't be d%ishonor-
able. Be sure, boys, you grow as
big as your country in honor which
means that you will always be hon
est, truthful and patriotic-for your
country, family and fellowman.
Truth is the hardest hitter in the
world. And there is more will in a
lie than anything else. Don't tell the
first lie. 1t may seem the easiest way
out of difficulty but hat is merely an
illusion-the illusion hat makes the
lies attractive. Be selfish enough to
guard your n The man so ex-
~fravagant as to give honor throws
away his soul The only person you
deceive with a lie is yourself, for the
truth always comes out in the end
and then the consequences are worse
than if you had stuck to the truth in
the beginning.
AS an American boy you lay the
foundation for your entire life. If
you expect to succeed, build your
Foundation from the solid brick and
motar of honesty. Benjamin Frank
lin said: Honesty is the best policy"
1t is more than that; it is the ONLY
policy, which same is all the ammuni-
ton you need in you cartridge belt
when you saddle up for the long ride
down the Trail of Life.
(Signed) BILL HART.

After Mary had come back from the
depths of the sea and received the
congratulations Of the admiring crew
Of the tug, we moved slowly along the
coast at my request. Far away I
could see the fishermen's cottage. In
one of them Hamilton Certeis was
concealed; l was convinced that there
was the mysterious hospital where
he was recovering from hurts receiv-
ed Tin the auto crash"
Certainly his Complex" was as
queer as hat of Mary Thomas. He
was a DIR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde, a gen.
tleman and a spy, a chemist of renown
a famous surgeon-and a lurking Boil
shevik!
But 1 wondered if his remarkable
career gas closing in upon him. He
must indeed be fearing to face some
inevitable fate, 1 felt sure. otherwise
he, a man who revealed in luxuries,
would never endure the privations of

We passed the-huts, tnen steamed

varying pretensions dotted the high
points of the coast. They had every
modern continuance for comfort, in
Guiding costly docks. (which is of

self, for a great idea had come to me.

erybody would know.
But ar ordinary beach resident,
such as Certeis was pretending to be,
could hardly put a small engine in a
rowboat without drawing the atten-
ton of all his neighbors to his opera

otherwise, was about the last thing
Certeis desired.

when the town and the nation were
shocked BIZ the revelation of another
frightful bombing plot.
Daddy Lorimer read excerpts from
the leaflets which the bomb-throw-
ers had sowed near the scene of the
explosions in various cities.
I recognized it as almost the iden-
teal stuff which Hamilton Certeis had
held in his hand at the time Tommy
had stunned him in the printing room
of his own sub-cellar!
My mind flew to Certeis who was
at the time of the bombing outrage,
securely hidden in his shack on the
beach.
To the world he was a famous sur

D Language.

The language of the Gipsies, Ro-
many, Is said to be Hindoo dialect
derived from Sanskrit. Ethnologists
pretty well agree that the Gipsles are
descendants of an obscure Hindoo
tribe. The popular belief that Gipsies
are descendants of the Egyptians has
no other basis than the similarity OF
the two words. The word "Gipsy" as a
matter of fact, Is from the Bohemian,
and means "vagabond." The first Clip
sizes appeared in England early In the
sixteenth century, but were found In
eastern Europe at least two centuries
earlier. They are now scattered all
over the world.

title at stake Before the rrenchmon
and the Briton stepped into the ring

would be little short Of murder with
Jack DeDmpsey thrown into the cast

Well, % doesn't look Ike such an easy
thing now. Carpenter beat Beckett
with one smash-a wicked right straight
out and with an the force 40 his COM
