Mankind has always loved pictures
Races, without a written language
have left behind them rude carvings
and murals to attest the fact. When
an industry arose that appealed to
this ancient appetite with pictures
that moved, it did not have to wait
long to see whether 1t would die or
flourish. A dozen years ago the mo-
ton picture business, as we now know
1t, did not exist. Today the Ameri-
can public supports 16500 moving pic
ture theaters, makes 50O0,00O,0O0 Wis

There's little boy in our town who
was given puppy for Christmas, and
the gift being at the puppies age when
everything looks good to chew, he bites
harder sometimes than he should. One
morning several days after Christmas,
the little dog ran bowling from the
room. When the little boys mother
inquired what was the matter, he re-
piled; HE, bit my finger, and he can't
learn to stop bitin', so l bit his ear. -

THE E TO FORGET

n HERE is a great sadness al The thought Of the
i tragic end Of Colonel Charles w Whitlssey,
and there is a seriously needed lesson to be drawn
from the death Of the over wrought hsro.
There is hardly a doubt but that the selhshnsss
of grief and the attentions OF a mistaken public drove
Colonel Whittlesey to self destruction. his man had
Been through one Of the most desperate and racklng
experiences that could fall 10 the lot of a mortal
Surrounded, as he was, by the enemy. lost from his
own forces for four long, narrowing days without food
Of water, with his men dying from hldeous wounds,
and the Germans in ever narrowing advance closing
from all sides, the wonder endures that 1t was not a
rayhg maniac that the Americans at last rescued to.
gether with the bleeding remnant Of his Vallent bat
talon,
Colonel Whhtlesey did emerge, however. in fairly
good shape and, given the right kind OF a chance,
would in all probability be alive today a splendid
healthy HUMANE but for the fact that he never was
given one instant to forget his awful experience. He
was loaded with honOrs. he was compelled hither and
thiher to listen to the repetition OF the events OF a
scene that he would have gwen anything upon the
Creators world to forget.
Worse than the requirements of his misunderstood
ing admirers. were the endless arrival of letters. 1t Is
stated that his mail was full Of letters from sreI
stricken families who had lost loved ones in those
days Of horrible siege in the Argonne, or who wished,
for some unfathomable motive to tell HIM OF the loss
Of other dear ones in that district.
Day after day. hour after hour, there was no
Escape anywhere for this man from hero worshippers
whose devotion. was based upon the adventure Of the
Lost Battalion, and the selfish unburdening of the
grief Of total strangers upon his weary shoulders.
There is4a lesson in this pitiful Story Of persecution
that ought to be engraved upon The minds of the
public for all time. The soldiers that have returned
from over there want, more than anything else in the
world, to forget. Decorations are bestowed for hero
ism In battle. A decoration means that the man who
wears it has passed through an experience that was
physically torturing, that was devastating to his nerves;
he nomore wishes to dwell upon it than a man wishes
TO live over and over a struggle with|a mad dog. or a
woman wishes 10 recall hour after hour an experience
with a desperate, drunken rufian who had invaded her
home. We must help our men 10 forget. Thousands
Of people who stood at the Arlington Cemetery on
Amistice Day and had never in all their lives been
near a battle field. were shaken to sobs by The al
mosphere that surrounded the scene. 1t was the final
straw to tie burden Of his heroic man. Even a mis-
taken government, seeking to do him honor. didn't
