A Cold Day and a Big One,
Today Is the greatest day In all
history and it is one of the very
coolest November days we're had
since last November! Why is 1t
the first cold days seem 80 bitterly
bleak and uncomfortable? And
why is It a world wide epoch in his
tory. SO stupendous and SO wrapped
about with possible thrills and sur
prises. as this great armlstice and
conference day, should approach SO
softly? Tho sky this morning early
was absolutely dead. No awaking
color was manifest, no change In
the s%teel.gray texture was visible.
Toward non a faint slit Of vague
pink looked possible and the few
flags in the city waved colorfully,
many of them. however. rather be-
draggled and dull. On July 4th what
a demonstration will take place.
Before daylight the heavy fire
crackers Will awaken us all. It
seems to be this big conference
day is scarcely appreciated by the
majority.
There are possibly several dozen
persons in the city who will walt
with actual bated breath for news
from the conference table. be-
lieve we all realize IN varied degree
the meaning OF this conference but
so occupied are we with the small
duties. the full Significance does
not strike home us it should. Isn't
it queer how small things usually
interest us most?
How wonderful it would be to at

DUKE MlNANgHESIER SERIOUS

This departments correspondent
In London recently interviewed the
DuIe Of Manchester on the subject.
There Is no mystery about my

Cryptic remarks might be made
about the duke choosing tho movies

1t may be Interesting to motto that

probably tho Duke of Manchester
will apear in golf toys or some such

know.
And he may not wear a dropping

Further, tho duke may appear aS
hero Of a movie. a character OF no
BILE purpose. Of serious intent. The
Duke OF Manchester is right whep
he says the movies make aristo
Gratis appear as lmbeciles.
However. the most interesting
thing Will be q comparison OF the
manners and ethics OF a real aristo
icrat with the etiquet Of tho average
sereen play. The hitter is often
conspicuous by It's absence.
