HOW TO BECOME
REAL AMERICANS
Go Abroad, Sec Europe. Then
Appreciate Your Own
Country.

In order TO be really good Amcri-
can one should go to Europe and travel
through the different countries for a
few months and then get the fastest
and best ship home and he will be 100
per cent American. in the opinion OF
E. w. Castle, who has just returned
after eight months travel through
England, France. Scandinavia, Ger
many, Italy, Belgium. Holland ana
Switzerland.
WAS something wrong with this coun-
try and 1t wasn't good place to live
in or conditions weren't right here,
then let him take the trip / have just
made" said Mr.. Castle. He will be-.
come quite cured. A real unrest still
exists throughout most Of the couii-
tries of Europe. and. in my opinion,
II there Is to be any solidity of nations,
II must be brought about by co-opera-
ton. The Britsher known that world
conditions can not be righted by
England alone. and that they must
have the cooperation of the United
States. England Is really in far better
shape than any country OF Europe and
she would be in still better shape had
IL not been for the coal strike there
To my mind, the Irish situation is a.
much OF a domestic problem there as
the Philippines is with us.
Conditions in general are certainly
much worse in all the countries there
than here. and In Switzerland. which
was a real tourist country before the
war everybody Is bankrupt because
their money Is worth too much. while
in most other countries II is the re-
verse. Switzerland. outside OF Geneva
perhaps, Is practically doing nothing
for the French. the Germans and tn.
Italians win not go there on account
Of the high rate OF exchange. THE
English are going very little and ever
the Americans shy, because they Cal
get so much more for their money IL
France and the other countries.
One quite famous r .-ort hotel mar
told me his reservations were this year
only one-quarter OF what they were a;
the same time last year. The EnglIsi
people are not travelling nearly sc
much as they used to. because OF con-
ditions this year. ! also believe there
will be far less American travel Il
Europe heAe Jedi uldn I1ele NhS tn,S
With all the talk OF cheap money and
cheap prices abroad it certainly costi
more to travel over there than here
II the economic American would in.
sist that his family travel In this
country. instead OF going TO Europe
they would get about twice the value
Of the money spent on . European trir

Nine members OF the company, de-
spite the road conditions and the rag
ing snow storm, with Chief Campbell
in charge made the run with tho
chemical engine and subdued the blaze
after some hard fighting.
The FIRE is supposed TO have been
caused by the back firing Of n gasoline
engine which is used TO supply the
house and nearby garage with current.
The engine is located in frame
building back OF and adjoining the
bungalow. The fire began about the
floor and worked it's way 10 the floor.

of the first floor.
At the time OF the fire no person
was In the house except Mrs. john
son and a relative, Mr. Johnson hav-
ing been at his place OF business In
Wilmington, where he conducts a
garage. At the time OF the arrival
OF the firemen the home was kept shut
in order to prevent the high wind
ginning access to the slowly creeping
flames. As soon az the hremen en-
tered the door a large flame broke
out. The firemen were greatly com
mended for their excellent work In
quickly extinguishing the flames by
the use Of the chemicals. The damage
TO the house was estimated TO be $3.50
which includes furniture and the in
terror of the building.

that e vac ftaroos who really In
sued Ne oFdr that caused Harding to:
b. nominated In Chicago. Perhaps 20.
But the fall OF the chieftAin came
soon A9terward.
Psnroes had imagined that he would
b the Quay Of the day, and would
direct the dsstlnies Of the man who
entered the White House in March
I. 1891. But he rsckoned poorly. When
tho time came to name tho cabinet,
Psnrose had little influence with
Hrding. The latter may not be the
mightiest man. Intellectually, who has
nlied the Presidency, but he at least
Mt times has shown an independence
In choosing his lieutenants that has
been pleasing to tho Nation.
Mr.. Hughes-whom I rate even at
this early hour ~ one of the greater
men who has held the State Depart
ment portfolio--was placed in office
over the protests OF the Pennsylvania
an. Senator Bra ndegee OF Connecticut
has been named as the man who
claims Hughes a. his protege. l am In
clined to believe that he comes nearer
W OCtuk OWN man.
No appointment reused the ire of
the old boss more than that of Hoov-
err. Penrose wanted his own man in
that ONCE. IL not, ne at least wished
the power to veto certain others, and
tho firts one on that personal blacklist
was Herbert Hoover. Mr.. Harding APP
pointed Hoover despite every objection
that Penrose could raise. Tho old
boss was tagging a bit behind the
times. He failed to see that no matter
how reactionary the Administration
might be. II was nevertheless neces-
sary that few men OF genuine ability
be- chosen for the higher Offices. The
seven million majority expected that
| much.
Another blow came when the matter
master came TO the Presidents atten-
ton. 1t was only after the hardest
kind of fight that Penrose was able
to name his man. One feels that scnti-
ment must have entered the Presi-
dents soul when he permitted Penrose
that privilege. for 1t was little else
that the latter secured before his
death.
1t is truism In politics that the
camp-followers always desert when
the general begins 10 lose ground. So
IL was In Penrose's case. a few
