A DEMAND OF PATRIOTISM AND
HUMANITY


Tomorrow is National Forget-Me-
Not-Day," a day in which every Mos
buying n the brilliant peoples,
which will be offered on the streets,
thus contributing to the fund which
will be used to bring back a measure
of health and strength to the thous-
ands of boys who were disabled In
the greatest of all wars. There are
in the United States n hundred and
seventy thousand young men, who in
Cured disability in the World war,
and to these men, whose lives cannot
be what they might otherwise have
been, the nation owe a debt which
can never be fully paid. When you
buy a poppy, you are doing a little
something for these heroes. With
many of these men the battle is still
on, in hospitals, or in invalid chairs,
where they are hoping against hope
that they may be brought back to
physical condition where they may be
be able to get something out of life
for themselves, and give something
in return in the way of useful citizen
ship. 1t would indeed be a poor
American who would fail to respond
to the need of these men who placed
their lives at the service of their
country and of the world, on a for
eign field, and were brought back
home to face lives of helplessness
and suffering, worse, in many cases,
than facing the shot and shell of the
enemy. They must not be forgotten,
nor neglected.

DRAMATIZING THE PRESIDENT
William Allen White, the nationally
known Kansas editor and sage, be-
lieves thai President Coolidge needs
a press agent capable of dramatic
ing him. He says the president is
too silent and too retiring for his
own political good. This may be
true, Uut VIC QOuOS n oioO, "
withstanding the presidents attitude
publicity of an attractive ma
ture, there is some dramatizing being
done in connection with the White
House, and done skillfully.
For instance, in the same paper
contained the story of William
Allen Whites discernment of the
iced of more elaborate publicity for
president and his household, ap-
peared the following:
"a pair of President Coolidge's
trousers had disappeared from the
White House. Secret Service agents
will not be put on their trail, how
ever, because there is a strong sus-
picion they nay be found on the
person of Calvin Jr., who's away at

Coolidge had a hand in it. One of
he many persons who recently at

we're going at half price or less was
Irs. Coolidge. Also it is understood
White House menus have under
one an anti-h. C. l. change under
lrs. Coolidge's supervision. There

folks in the White House,
There is evidently somebody about
White House who has some pref
Y fair ideas about this dramatizing
usiness, and there is reason to be-
eve that it isn't the president, even :
lough his pants do figure in the
ublicity. 1t is publicity, too, of a
ature which leaves a very good taste
the mouths of the American read
.aders.
It is not altogether a case of joy
lconfined among the movie employ
at Hollywood, where thousands of
ung persons have gone with am

id on good authority that from fif-
to seventy-five thousand of these
Op10 are out OF JOBS ana n
