1928 Memorial Day, which is annually
celebrated on May 3Oth, has twofod

yearly occasion when the various patriotic
organizations decorate the graves of those
who have fallen in their country's battles
for Freedom.
"When was the first Memorial Day?
How did it start?" Ask either question
of the average man or woman and they
will confess that the origin of the cele
