AmericanizatiOn Class Thanks
South Bend For Summer
Course Opportunity.
BY T.. ID. ANTONIU,
Instruction in Summer Americaniza-
ton School.

llOu
| ZONE of the South American
countries have within the last
few years since the war recog-
nized the value Of naturalization Of
their immigrants, and have gone into
the work in a rather serious fashion,
! according TO reports. OF the sue
cess or lack of it little could be said.
! because of it's youth
The naturalization of the immi-
grant is done in no other country
on a larger scale than in the United
States. Modern initiation into the
customs, habits, laws, and language
Of this great republic dates farther
/ back than the archives of any other
country could boast Of We could
ascribe this first to the fact that we
all are descending from immigrants
and as such are able to better I'M
derstand the value Of the work; and
| second, 10 the fact that this coun-
try, In its tendency to equal the
countries of the old world-wherein
we have gone them one better, sur
passing them all-should have found
in any immigrant an obstacle rather
than a helpful addition to its popu-
/ ladon, unless that immigrant had
familiarized himself with everything
| peculiar TO the country.
Some Grateful; Some Tolerant.
Such work, as anyone can appre-
ciate entails huge expenditures, and
energy. Probably many a citizen has

program is a success in every re-

alien.
Doing Americanization work Diff
ferent people can be met; some who
\ are eternally grateful and actually

some too, who regard It as one Of
the first manifestation OF american
/ eccentricity" so much spoken Of in
/ pre-war times, an opinion which, by
the way. has changed considerably
since 1917. These people indulge in
it, or think they are goOd-natured
enough 10 subject themselves to such
a phase OF a metamorphosis as they
are willing" to undergo, good sports
as they are, anyway. And finally
comes the fellow who thinks he is
doing a great favor to the country.
especially to the community he hap
pens to be part Of; goes merely as
a farce through everything more or
less expected Of him, and finally
crowns his audacity by applying for
and obtaining papers. I am not say

never does. except as q matter Of
record in some books, and then ex-

finds it necessary. am glad TO say
though that the last two. or rather

the minority anyway. are vanishing.

w Answers to this question
and others puZzling to citizens who
would not knowingly commit a
breach OF etiquette Of the flag but
who often do so through unfamiliar
ity with rules of patriotic behavior
are being taught pupils of the South
Bend public schools. The regulations
have been compiled for the use Of
principals by Col G. Seymour Bull
lock, municipal recreation director
The correct conduct, strange as
It may seem, is especially puzzling to
the civilian who has been a soldier, ="
Col. Bullock states. Thinking Of
the days when he sprung TO atten-
ton, clicking his heels with a sharp
snap, he does the same thing now
and raises his hand TO his hat for a
formal military salute. But this IS
the very thing FOR him to avoid. A
military salute is only to be made by
a soldier in uniform. Civilians-and
a soldier in 'civvies' is a civilian
stand at attention in saluting the flag
but instead of raising the hand to
the brim OF the hat, the hat is re-
moved by the right hand and held
against the left shoulder. slightly
above the heart.
This is the general rule and
holds good either when a chorus is
singing or a band is playing The Star
Spangled Banner; when the bugles
blow To the Colors': when the flag
is being carried by in a procession
or when a procession IS passing a
flag at the reviewing stand. When
one has no hat in hand, the hands
should be dropped to the sides. The
soldier in uniform will, Of course,
know what TO do. II is the man and
the woman in civvies who often do
not know.
Rules For Women.
And what about the woman? In
those days when as a nurse, or In
war service. she wore a uniform
there was a known rule Of pro-
cedure. But what shall she do now

Generally speaking she should do

The only exception TO the rule
that requires the topmost place for

IL cannot be denied that beauty Of
a certain special type which directors
and camera men recognize at a
glance is a factor in the making Of
a star.
But there Is a tremendous wear
and tear upon beauty in the movies
OF which the young aspirant and the
fans seldom dream.
This Is not the wear and tear of
dissipation-but the strain and ten
sion OF quick and precise acting be-
fore the camera.
Every woman knows the effect OF
overwork upon good looks-until
one has recuperated.

marily 20 make money. A high-sal-
aried star is a large investment.
