Absolutely Honest.

Robert w. Chambers, whose vivid
portraits of the modern girl have made
him famous, said at a dinner party
in his New York home:
''The modern girl has many faults,
but at least she is open and above
board. There's nothing of the deceit
full puss about her.
ION a moonlight winter night in
Florida a modern young man passion
ately kissed a beautiful modern girl
under a palm tree.
'''Tll be frank with you,' the young
man said after the embrace was over.
You're not the first girl I've ever
kissed, by long shot
''She lit a huge and costly cigarette.
"'And I'll be equally frank with
you,' she answered. You've got a
great deal to learn even at that =

entered the yard, 80 dogs, ranging
from the grOwn-ups to pups, let loose
a wild barrage of barking, yapping
and whining. He picked the least

gram to be held during the American

Camp Zachary Taylor near Louisville

since established q number Of worlds
records in the dashes.
The famous sprinter told Legion
convention officials that he will be on
hand to defend his laurels in all dis
tances up to the 440yard dash. Le-
gionnaires are confident that Paddock
will celebrate his reunion with World
war comrades by smashing some Of
his present worlds records.

What He Intended.

''My DEAR" said the newly-married
man to his wife, "where did all these
books on astronomy come from? They
are not ours''
"a pleasant little surprise for you"
remarked his wife. "You know, my
dear, you said this morning that we
ought to study astronomy; and so
went to the booksellers and bought
everything l could on the subject"
It was some minutes before he
spoke.
''My DEAR" he said then, his voice
husky with emotion, Il never said we
must study astronomy; said we must
study economy"

PLAN TO MEET "NATIVE SONS
"Mr. Visiting Doughboy" and "Mr
Cob" May Expect Warm Recep-
tion in San Francisco.

IT you are an American Legion
buddy" and expect to attend the
fifth annual convention of the organi-
zation at San Francisco, you might
well begin to rehearse for your first
meeting with a Native Son."
California is filed with Native
Sons" especially San Francisco. There
| are two divisions or varieties-the
common or garden type, and the cul-
tivated variety. The cultivated "Na-
tive Son" is immensely proud of his
nativity and parades it on every occa-
sion by wearing the '1ittle bear" en-
| blem, marking membership in the "Na-
tive Sons Of the Golden West" Cali
| fornia does not pretend to comprise
all the Golden West, but whenever you
mention the Golden West, your true
Californian jumps to his feet and gives
three cheers. To him the Golden West
| signifies California.
The cultivated natives, meaning the
native sons and native daughters, COM
prise about $4,000 of the states great
and growing population. Numerically
they are but drop in the bucket. But
it wouldn't do for a minute to tell
native that, at least not one of the
cultivated variety.
Throughout California parIors have
been superseded by living rooms, ex-
cept in the circles Of the NSGW and
NDGW. Each group or lodge is con-
stituted 'parlor" and all are subject
to the dictates of a grand parlor. pre-
sided over by a grand president. In
| California there are 100 "parlors."
San Francisco alone has 2S, with
membership of 1900 in the two or
ganizations in that city.
Members of the NSGW and the
NDGW might be termed professional
CalifOrnians. They make the accident
of birth a ritual and join the order.
Perhaps it is a mistake to speak of
the native son and daughter as a pro-
fessional Californian. Every son and
| daughter Of California is a profession
al Californian. Every one is a booster.
They'd as soon think Of relinquishing
their citizenship as quitting California
| for keeps-most of them sooner. They
know California Is the greatest state
there ever was or ever will be, that
| California has the finest climate. the
grandest scenery, the richest soil, the
huskiest athletes, the most fourishing
| business, the finest men and most
| beautiful women.
1t is with these people and with that
spirit that "Mr. Visiting Doughboy"
and 'Mr. Cob" who attend the Le-
giOn convention will collide, when they
hit the convention city Californians
are proud of their heritage, proud of
their sunsets and fogs, cool summers
and warm winters, the hotels, cafes and
Market street, and everything else
that goes to make up San Francisco,
which if you do not already know it,
Is by far the greater and most impor-
tant part of California. When you
are in San Francisco ask any native
son for anything you wish, and if you
escape without being presented the
city hall, or the exposition auditorium,
where the Legion convention is to be
held, it will be because that particu-
lar native son isn't functioning just
right at the moment

Once upon a time it was quite the
thing for fairies to make themselves
known to mortals. Frequently each
mortal was granted three wishes, and
so on. The last fairy Of record ap-

the customary three wishes, but stated
that he had only one wish to make.
