BY ROGER w. BABSON.

Everyday we are making memories
for ourselves in the future.
We make them today and lay
them on the shelf of our brains, to
be taken down, busted, and hauled
over at some later day.
Often they are lovely and pleas
ant; sometimes they make our hearts
sink.
Some of US are fortunate enough
TO be able to shut out the unpleas-
ant memories and to see them no
more.
This is perhaps best, because it is
better to live in our todays than in
our yesterdays.
But in spite of our wishes, we find
that sometimes memories will come
down off the shelf and face US.
Therefore it behooves US to make
today such memories as will be pleas
ant for tomorrow; memories that we
shall be proud of and not ashamed
of; memories that will bring com
fort and not heartache.
The memories of tomorrow we
are always making today.

to the people of America. Surely
we cannot do too much to honor the
memory and herald the heroism of
the American soldiers inthe World
War. The story of what they did is
chapter of undying fame, and will
enrich the annals of this nation az
long as the flag flies.
They entered the conflict at its
supreme crisis, and they entered with
such daring, they fought with such
skill and courage, they died with
such abandon, that from the day the
Stars and Stripes appeared among
the colors of the allies, the doom of
Ieuton aggression was sealed.
am not unmindful of the mag
nlflcent valor the French had shown;
nor of the way, during those long.
hard years, the British bore the
brunt of the battle. America has
only cheers for its brave allies. It is
honor enough that the soldiers we
sent overseas fought so we'll as to
prove themselves not unworthy a
place IN that glorious line.
But 1t is ours to keep alive the
story of American arms. 1t is our
high privilege to hand down to gen
eratlons that are to come the story
OF the glory of the men of this gen
Grafton who served and sacrificed,
who fought and died to keep free
dom alive in the earth.
This is what the Victory Memorial
on the Mall at Washington will do.
Even if we could, it will not let us
forget. And the sight of it will fire
the heart with the flameof true Am
ericanism.
