FOR GRADUATES

We don't know how many thousands
of graduates are just now starting on
'the threshold of life"
Walk right in, dear children. When
you pass the threshold you will find
no velvet carpets. There's long, long
stairway for you to climb and you
must watch your step.
1t is one of those trick StairwayS,
this that starts at the threshold of
life. There are collapsible steps that
cause you to slip back unless you keep
your wits.
As you go up you will see many
climbers falling. Some of them, hav-
ing fallen, stay at the bottom and new
er try to get up again. Others start
over bravely. Some make the climb
slowly, but surely. Others make it
two steps at time. Emulate them If
you have the capacity, but have a care
lest in your eagerness you make mis-
step.
You may go as far as you can up
the stairway. There is. no end to it,
and the higher you go the more pleas
ing does it become.
Good luck to you, children on the
threshold of life And may you have
long climb and joyous one.

A GOOD LOSER

In all conflicts somebody is defeated
or it's IL draw.
Bunker Hill still stands with her
granite monument, just where Daniel
Webster left it when he delivered the
great Grafton which he had commit
ted to memory while fishing at Marsh
field
Bunker Hill is one of the glorious
lost causes. Whoever fortified that
hill instead of the one nearer Charles
town Neck committed a notable mill
tary blunder, and gave to his new
country something new to glory about
Bunker Hill reminds us not of the
wisdom of military leaders, but of the
stalwart courage of the men who on
June II, 1875, stood behind their hasti-
ly erected redoubt with Putnam, or
behind the rail fence with Stark, and
proved themselves soldiers.
The fighting was mostly at the
fence The hay had been cut and
was lying in windows, and the men
gathered it and stuffed it between
the fence rails. Raw troops do not
object to rsking their heads if their
legs are covered. Hay is not an in
vulnerable protection against bullets,
but it helps the minds of the men who
are sheltered by it.
The Battle of Bunker Hill is re-
corded as British victory; but i l
did more to discourage the victors
and more to put hearts into the men
who were defeated than any contem-
porary historian could have mag
ined.
1t is not the only time in human
history that defeats have been turn
ed into victories.
All the time old Peter the Great
was being whipped he contemplated
his defeats with pleasure, because he
knew he was learning how whipping
was accomplished. 1t was not long
till he had learned, and then Rus
STA began to be nation.
There are lessons enough in daily
life, if one cares for them. The moral
value of defeat in business or am
bition depends upon the stuff that Is
in the man defeated.
Most successful men have monuments
erected in grateful memory of the
Bunker Hills where they were de-
feated, and learned how to succeed.
That is the principal value of de-
feats; they have in them the seeds OF
subsequent victories.

WEINMAN DESIGNS
Vail MEMORIAL
TELEPHONE MEDAL

The awarding of the Theodore N.
Vail medals to employees of the Bell
System for acts of meritorious service
has been placed on a broader basis
than originally outlined. Committees
are tentatively considering any act or
performance by an employee of sub
stantial benefit to fellow human be-
ing that has been accomplished
service, or by the application Of
knowledge or skill derived from tele-
phone training, whether on or off the
job.
The Theodore N. Vail medal will be
designed by one of the best known
sculptors in the country, Adolph Alex
ander Weinman, says The Telephone
Review, N. Y.
The medal itself will bear a fitting
tribute to Theodore n. Vail. The artist
is planning to have a portrait of Mr..
Vail on one side and a symbolic eX-
preston of his personality and the
Bell System on the other side. This Is
most fitting, as the medal will exem-
plify Mr.. Wallis Public Service ideals,
and will be given to those who earn it
by conspicuous service to others.
Mr.. Weinman is singularly fitted for
this task by his experience and repu-
tation as medalist and as a sculptor.

and take out a dime or half dollar

Village Gossip
T he Buds


Mrs John Purdon, who has been the
guardian angel of the Palisade Girls
Club, has now taken up another bit of
mOthering, and has organized a new
society Of the younger element among
the small girls, and calls it The Buds.
She gave them their first party on her
lawn last week, and it was startling
success-one that all present enjoyed.
1t was the occasion of the birthday of
Ruth Miller, and Mrs. Purdon saw to it
that it was celebrated right. The little
ones played games and romped to their
hearts content, then had delicious re-
freshments. There were just % of
these Buds out, and they enjoyed every
minute of their stay at Mrs. Purdon's.
Baby Tennis Court
John PurdOn had laid out fine little
tennis court on the rear lawn of his
friends in Palisade have been having a
great time for the past two weeks. The
court is not regulation size, but is as
good as any, and the little chaps and
their girl friends make as good scores
on it as on a larger court

The prevailing color is light gray, with
