 Worm Didn't Turn In This Case
 So it happens that the said friends are finging at the fishermen-taximen the statement that either they are tell ing a mighty good fish story about the one worm or they bought the fish. Both Charlie and Guy stick to their guns and entertain their friends with the story of their thrilling adventure with hook and line and that lonely worm. made Co do tremendous duty on that fishing expedition. No matter how eonvincingly Guy and Carl dis euss the affair, there are still many skeptical ones and others who simply won't believe the story. They do say that the taximen have run onto some sort of a secret, shaking an empty can and making a noise like worms, sayl to entiee the denizens of the deep to take hold of the hook and act playful with 1t. until pulled onto q land that is supposed to be high and dry, in these Nolstead days.

FOUR TELL STORIES

Taxi Men Affirm They Caught String of Fish With One
 Worm

James R. Connor, said to have been the tallest man in the American Expe- ditionary Forces; Joseph Belair, op- orator of the moving picture machine at the Victory Theatre; Carl Ander- son and Guy Zito, genial taxi men of Putnam, were all involved in unusual stories that went the rounds the past week And as a result of them. the quartet of Putnam men are having to stand no end of good natured josh ing
 Take Joseph Belair, brother of The Patriots hustling shop foreman, for instance. Joe himself is responsible for the yarn that his friends are re- beating and smiling over. As the story runs, he killed a real. honest-to- goodness rattlesnake, close by his home on the heights on Mechanics street. The fact of the matter is that Mr. Belair spied a youngster playing with the reptile with a stick, and re- alizing that such things are not the best sort of playmates for kiddies, he tMr Belair) decided that he would immediately deprive the child of his new found toy So t was, according to the story, that Joe went to the house and hastily picking up an axe, rushed back to the street.

same year received the American Dis
tinguished Service Medal from the
war department at Washington in rec
ognition of the assistance which he
had given to the American troops in
Europe in his capacity as surveyor
general of supplies and afterward as
minister of munitions and supplies.
His eldest son, the Hon. Morton Weir,
heir TO his seat in the House of Lords,
who served throughout the great war,
recently acquired all the Dalzell inter
ests in the London Pail Mall Gazette,
of which he is now the chief owner.
For a number of years it belonged to
the late Lord Astor, when it was con-
spicuous for its MISREPRESENTATION
Now it is one of the organs of the
Lloyd George party.
At the outset of the war Lord liver
forth, as Andrew Weir, was one of the
greatest figures in the shipping trade
in the British Empire. Hafling from
Kircaldy, he is an old friend of A.
Bonar Law, and at the time when,
early in 1915, confusion reigned SUI

based upon the example which George Washing
ton set, shows that this newcomer realizes that
the basis of our well being a nation and Of
our happiness as individuals rests upon good
citizenship with all that the term implies in the
way of knowledge of our fundamental laws and
institutions.
If more aliens came to the United States as
Dabinsk did, not only to escape the troubles"
of Europe, but also to develop their powers of
citizenship, the country would grow strong with
every additional immigrant.
Young Dabinski's example will be good one
for other aliens. 1t should be an inspiration to
them, showing that in this country the reward
for meritorious service goes to the man who is
qualified, irrespective of his birth or previous
training. 1t is regretable that too many aliens
do not accept the privilege of American citizen
ship with the same conscientious spirit which
young Dabinsh has shown. In that one partc-
ular lies the menace of admitting thousands of
aliens to this country. They come here to be
better themselves financially, but not to learn
our institutions and become what this young
alien described good citizens"
Young Dabinski's success, on the other hand
shows that the Americanization classes are
really achieving results in their effort to awaken
an interest in American affairs. If he had not had
an opportunity of attending classes that taught
citizenship, the chances are that he would never
have become sufficiently interested in our gov
ernmental system to study its founding and
operations
The work of amalgamating the aliens into
our citizenship is stupendous one,- but as the
nation becomes more keenly alert to its possibil-
tiles, more and more agencies will be enlisted in
it's behalf to teach the foreigners and, by eX-
ample and precept to show them the value Of
becoming Americans not only in name but also
in the spirit of Washington, who, as young
Dabinski said in his prize essay, could have had
supreme power in his country but that was not

A Newcomer With the Right Idea

Solomon Dabinski, who arrived in New York
from Poland year ago, recently won medal
with his essay on George Washington in COM
petition with young men and women who are
natives of this land and have enjoyed the bene-
fits of our institutions since birth.
Young Dabinski had no special advantages
excepting those offered in night classes on Amer
canization which he attended. He worked dur
ing the day. He knew no word of English when
he arrived here year ago, and his early educa-
ton was a poor one, acquired in haphazard
manner in the years when his country was the
scene of fighting. He left Poland for America
to escape chaotic conditions. Trouble, trouble,
all the time" is the way he explained conditions
there. $50 came to this country, where man,
if he is good citizen, doesn't get into trouble all
the time
His essay revealed not only good grasp of
the English language, but also an understanding
of some of the fundamental traits which made
George Washington the father of his country.
This paragraph explains what his study of Wash
ington's life revealed to him:
1--WE know that without George Washington
the revolution would have been failure almost
from the beginning. When it was over he be-
came the idol of his country. With the army at
his back and the great numbers who loved him
as their father he could have had supreme
power in his country, but that not George
Washington's idea"
His determination to become good citizen,
