no objection to such comrades coming

we now have some who do that. All
that is required is for them to keep up
their own expenses and be loyal to our

 Don't forget that when you draw up the shade of the window in your own seat you may be causing the rays of the sun to shine directly in the eyes of the person in the seat behind you. by lowering it slightly you can pre- vent this without blocking your own view.

How the Unknown Soldier
 Memorial Idea Started

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The idea of conferring a nations proudest hon. ors on the bones of an unknown sol dier, as was done by the United States at Arlington National Gene tery today, was first put forward in England by Nathaniel Railton, a young clergyman and war veteran.
 ' According to information reaching the American Legion headquarters here, England's initiative in holding a great public mourning service at the bier of one of her nameless he- roes, was taken after Railton had published in a London paper an open letter addressed to the English pub lie }s
 This article pointed out that many thousands of soldiers had died on the battlefield of their country and their ideals and gone to their graves un- identified, and urged that such a soldier, utterly lost in the great holo- caust, typified more perfectly than could any other of the victims of the
