Now, let's see there's Coleman du Pont recent
ly appointed United States Senator from Della
ware the outright owner of the Equitable Life
Insurance Building Company. and a string Of
huge hotels that reaches all across the United
States; numerous coal mines etcetera. etcetera.
Senator du Pont has a remarkable memory for
faces and likewise a remarkable memory for
numbers, but to save his life he can't retain the
names of the folks he meets
He was down here in Washingto for the Hard
ing Inauguration and put up at one Of the lead
ing hotels. One night he played a rubber of
bridge with some gentlemen whom he had met
casually At the termination Of the game one
of them suggested that whenever he had some
time to kill that he call him up by telephone and
they would have another game. This gentleman
gave his name and his telephone number.
Just the other day Senator du Pont encoun-
tered him on the street. He remembered his face
and the occasion upon which they had met but
he hadn't the slightest idea as to the mans name.
He hailed him gen.aly, however, and recalled
their former meeting.
Your memory Is most remarkable, Senator"
said the gentleman II am surprised that you
should have remembered me go readily
Il admit It," said Senator du Pont, trusting
this mans name. my memory is quite remark
able. l can even tell you your telephone number
1t is Cleveland 642."
This number was correct.
When Elihu Root was Secretary of State the
Supreme Court handed down a decision with re-
gard to our Colonial possessions and the Premier
was being questioned to his Interpretation of
this decision Did 1t mean he was asked, that
the Constitution was not to follow the flag?
1T seems to follow It," he said, but 1t does
not seem to quite catch up with IT,"
Upon another occasion, being pressed to the
truth of certain statements which were appear
ing In the newspapers, he answered his inquisi-
tors by taking up from his desk q book and read
ing from It Parson Weems' story Of George Wash
ington and the cherry tree. They did not know
whether he meant them to take 1t that these
stories were of questionable accuracy, like that

zaton. He 1t was who did the praying on Armis-
tice Day at Arlington Colonel Axiom says that

Whenever Colonel Axton leads in prayer these
days, somewhere in that prayer there is nearly
sure to occur that line which says 'that the Job

BY Angela Morgan.

UyHIS stricken age falling temple seems
Doomed to disaster from earliest dreams
Il Our hopes are naught visions seem as dust,
Whirled by judgment terrible, august.
We hear the timbers crashing overhead
The walls drip plaster and the dead
Scattered in sudden silence at feet,
While we who cling to life and find it sweet
Behold the perishing, and are sad,
Yielding dark penitence for being glad
Like pictures in a dream, a nightmare train
OF horrid scenes assault with the slain
Terror on terror holds souls aghast,
Each bitter crime cruel than the last

: other communities find them
selves in a delicate if not embar-
RAISING situation.
History textbooks which superin-
tendents have authorized and prin-
cipals selected for use in the schools
are seriously charged as being pol
luted with anti-American propa-
ganda. The charges are made with
such defniteness and amplitude Of
quotation that an indignant protest
against the textbooks has been
aroused and an investigation de-
manded.
There have always been snobs who
copied or initiated the contemptu-
ous foreign ridicule Of everything
American-our literature, our art,
our science, music, drama, philoso-
ply, manners and money making,
just as there have always been
American families willing to pay
millions to marry their daughters
W lOIclHu uOUIcucu.
But until lately this foreign poison
never got into our school books to
inculcate in the minds of our school
children doubts Of the integrity.
wisdom or patriotism of the great
men who founded this nation.
The old school histories and
readers were distinctly American.
The spirit of democracy in America.
the wonderful unity shown by the
nation after it decided to enter the
World War, could not exist without
universal education, and what our
school children are taught to be-
lieve becomes the spirit of America
in the grown-up citizen.
The influence of the teacher is un-
ending. It is handed on by the
grown-up child, even to the chill
dren's children.
Burke said that civilization was
only a triple contract between the
noble dead, the living and the un-
born. 1t is especially true Of Ameri-
ca. And if America is to be true to
her ideals, if the living here are to
carry on the ideals of their noble
dead, their histories must not be
perverted.
It is only in recent years, since
the marvellous growth Of British
propaganda, that even the writers
of our school textbooks have been
reached. Our school children are
now being taught that the founders
of the nation whose liberty and
progress we all know has enlight-
ened the world were "smugglers,"
"pirates," fish, unworthy,
short-sighted, narrow-minded office
seeking and office trading plotters,"
"uncouth provincials," "rabble,"
shot headed mobs,'' "too proud to
learn and too ignorant to teach"
Ignorant and superstitious."
Tories who said these things
during our Revolution we're among
the so-called aristocrats, or select
classes, but many Of them were
ridden out Of the country on rail,
to the great advantage of the COM
munity. Now some of their de-
scendants are writing our school
textbooks.
The courage and wisdom of our
hardy Revolutionary fathers have
always been and should always con-
time to be, an inspiration to our
children. Our character and sue
cess and mission as nation are
founded on their heroism, sagacity
and self-reliance.
To permit their glorious record to
be tainted by alien propaganda in
our public schools is to poison the
fountain of our national inspiration
at its source.
That is just what it is designed

a Does it mean anything to
youi Do you get any real joy in
givingi Probably not. Most Of MS
give presents to those about rs be-
cause it is customary. Our relatives
and our near friends seldom actually
need the things we give them.
If you would experience actual
happiness in giving you must share
your goods with some one who is in
actual need.
There is where the good fellow
movement comes in.
A group of responsible residents
of Washington, at the request Of The
Times, are, sponsors for the Good
Fellow campaign this year.
This movement is probably the
most unscientific, loose jointed, unor.
ganized piece Of joy-giving that ever
frightened poor home. There isn't
any clerical force, except the small
force whose services are donated by
The Times. There isn't any cost Of
organization. No money is collected
in fact, no money is accepted.
The plan is simple. If you want to
be Good Fellow land that includes
both sexes) just send your name and
address to the Good Fellow Editor
of The Times, telling how many per
sons and in what section of the city
you would like to assist. The Good
Fellow Editor gives you the name or
names of families where there are
poor children or sick or aged peo-
pie who are facing a cherries
Christmas.
You look up the needs Of the fam
lily yourself. Talk to the neighbors
or visit the home and see what's
what. Take nobody's word for it.
Then you supply what you think is
needed, or perhaps what is needed
most. There are no restrictions or
regulations. On Christmas Eve or
Christmas Day visit the family and
leave the gifts. The Times cannot
undertake to investigate the cases Of
poor folks reported to the Good Eel.
low Editor. It is up to you.
If you can't afford to do much
yourself and would like to do some
thing for others this year, get a few
of your friends to join you and
"take family"
This is going to be a cherries
year for lot of youngsters and old
folks and sick. people unless the
Good Fellows save the situation.
The Good Fellow sponsors and The
Times don't ask anything from any
body. There is no expense for or
ganization, promotion, or anything
else.
Remember, this is not organized
and scientific charity. The Times
has been told that two or three of
the families helped last year were
not really deserving-the father was
a drunkard, or the mother was q
gad-about, etc. The Good Fellows
don't give hang about the morals
Of the father or the lack of morals of
the mother. Christmas is Christmas,
and it's the same day to all kinds,
irrespective Of who or what their
parents are.
If a youngster needs stockings
shall we refuse them on the grounds
that his dad drinks bootleg liquor,
Or that his mother stays out late at
nightsi Will it "pauperize" the
whole neighborhood to bring a little
cheer into the household for one
dayi
The real Good Fellow is the kind
that digs down into his jeans and,
as Tad says, "does his stuff" be
cause he's good fellow and inst
can't help it.
