By PANAME.

TN this period, between May 30
and July A. I cannot resist the
desire to write on the celebration
in France of Americas Memorial
l,ay-to express the emotion born OF
what was actually seen and heard. 1t
was not alone the words and acts OF
the official representatives of the two
countries that marked the day. but
even more the presence Of simple citi-
zens who came voluntarily in great
numbers and bore their spontaneous
testimony to a respect and affection
deeply felt.
1t is six months since these letters
to THE NEW York HERALD began. In
the first of them / tried to express TO
the readers-who have since become
to me a circle of unseen friends-the
impression produced by the ceremony
of November IL, in honor of the un-
known petit poilu. On that occasion
America, our great sister, remembered
us and sent her soldiers, with other
representatives, to salute their name

will not recall the words of your
Ambassador. You know them. But /
may say that both here in Paris and
at Suresnes they attained, in their
brevity and simplicity, an elevation.
an amplitude of thought and feeling
as intense as that which informed the
orations of Bossuet, in the seven
teenth century, more learned but con-
ceived in no loftier mood.
Marshal Petain, soldier and man,
was the message bearer of the people,
expressing that which is in the depths
of every truly French heart. Whether
they rest in the Cemetery at Suresnes
or along the Aisne or in the Argonne.
the children of America are also now
the children OF France.
In our country reverence toward the
dead is carried to great lengths. No
holiday passes unmarked by pious
visits to their graves, to keep them
associated with our living progress.
Memorial Day will not stand alone
as a day Of memory. On other days
the mothers OF France will go to pray
az the tombs Of the Americans who
rest among us as at the graves OF
their own sons; the little hands of
children will tenderly pluck the flow
ers TO place upon the graves Of these
their friends.
Nothing was more touching. more
moving than those hundreds OF chill
dren. for the most part pupils aided
by the American work among war
orphans. whose young faces reflected
already the sadness Of their condition.
whose young hearts knew the burden
Of loss. They spread upon the graves
their flowery harvest and waved above
them the stars OF their flags. The
same three colors are the symbol OF
the nation in America and in France.
But on Memorial Day tho thousands
Of stars In your flags were like the
souls Of the departed. descending TO
earth. And 7 wish with all my heart
that the mothers OF America might
find the symbol In the stars Of their
sky. No more n distant land, no more
sea. no more eparation--only the
stars!

One doesn't need to agree with DR..
Howe to find his book very interesting.
1t is of considerable Importance as

convection, and. one must believe, in a
real desire to bring about better things
DR.. Howe is sufficiently well known as
Mr.. Wilson's immigration Commits
sioner and a publicist with a long list
of pamphlets 10 his credit. This one
aims to summarize the whole political
and social situation from the stand
point of the radical. In fact DR..
Howes political thinking comes near to
being philosophical anarchy.
He is quite sure that unless some
thing is done about 1t very soon the
United States, and, as to that, the
whole civilized world, Is going very
rapidly to the demnition bowwows His
thesis is that the developments of the
last fifty years are leading toward de-
struction and a revolution. These evil
tendencies are the growth of monopo-
lies in industry. the creation of an in
dustrial 'feudal system" in which
power is vested in the hands of a few,
and. along with this imperialism the
exploitation of resources, profiteering,
the creation of sharply defined ruling
classes" and narrowly oligarchic po-
htical state. The remedy for all this
he finds in the creation of natural
state" based on industrial democracy,
the abolition of any wage system and
the creation of sort of Soviet govern

Howe. is now in a state of collapse

by privilege. The profit making motive
has been carried so far that the world
Is deadlocked. Class laws have

The fact that the Board of Educa-

ment is earnestly advising all boys to
stay in school lends interest to this
compact little arsenal uf pro- school
arguments. The Board has distributed
circulars 10 the effect that there are
half as many jobs as there are appn-
cants.
The volume in hand is pocket size
and, according to the jacket, compila-

period following elementary and high
school graduations, as well as the end
Of college semesters, gives it great

HAS THE ASTRoLABE
USED BY cHAMPLAtN
BEEN DISCOVERED

An old-time instrument named
the astroIabe which was used for
measuring the distance north and
south OF the equator was discover
ed in 1867 by n farmers boy in the
Ottawa valley near the town OF
Golden, Ontario. Recently schol-
ars who have been studying very
carefully the travels of the early
explorer, Samuel Champaign have
found facts which make it seem
reasonable that this very same old
instrument belonged to that famous
explorer who is known as the foun
der of Canada, when he made his
first journey up the Ottawa river
in 1913. The astrolabe is simple
circle of brass about six inches in
diameter with a bar across 1t.
This particular astrolabe--for OF
course there were many in use at
that time and earlier-was found on
the direct route of Champla in s
portage in 1913.

GHOSTLY VISITOR

Mary Ellen gave her braided hair
a backward flip, slipped her feet
out of her slippers and jumped into
her bed just as her cousin, Jane,
switched off the light and made a
dive for hers.
They lay talking awhile and the
moon shone through the elm tree
just outside and made the leaves
dance in phantom shapes across the
floor.
Mary Ellen's answers gradually
grew more indistinct and Jane
knew she was about asleep so she
lay quiet awhile and watched the
little, dancing shadows.
Presently Mary Ellen was awak-
ened by a shrill whisper and she
opened her eyes to see Jane sitting
bolt upright in bed.

A suitable target was made by

The box-like affair thus made was
filled with fine dirt. Another

the other side of barrel hoop, This
finished the target except for the
rings on the face of it. These were
put on with water colors and a
brush.
The boys stood the target on a
chair, paced off Is feet, and drew
a line. They took turns throwing
their darts. The thrOwer stood
even with the line, aimed his dart
at the bulls eye of the target and
then threw. Three throws were al
