II MEMORY OF TOLEDO DEAD
Buckeye City and County to Erect Mag
nifiesnt Monument to Memory Of
War Heroes.

A monument Of ''livIng fame" to me.
morialize the heroic dead Of Toledo, O.,
and Of Lucas county. is to be erected
on the most prominent spot In Memo
rial park, a new project, which. &C.
cording to founders, will soon become
q reality.
Sweeping through the park Is road.
way, already known to Toledo citizens
as Memorial Way" Sides Of this
roadway are fianked by trees, each Of
which is named for some man from To
ledo or Lucas county who made the
supreme sacrifice In the World war,
bearing his name In everlasting bronze
and keeping forever fresh his memory.
Other roadways of the park will be
named after cities, towns and particu-
lar engagements in which these men
fought. The whole centers around the
great monument, where tower Of un.
usual proportions Is surmounted by q
ngtt which may be seen for miles.
.rhe site Of the park covers 215 acres,
much Of which is forested and natural.
ly adapts Itself to landscaplng. While
q portion Of the park Is to be used as
a general cemetery, section near the
monument. which will permit the In.
terment Of 1900 bodies, has been set
aside for the use Of the American Le-
gion, where the bodies Of soldier and
sailor dead may be Inferred and per-
petual care assured. The administra-
tion Of this section Is directly under
the Lucas county Legion council who
will have a seat on the board Of trus-
tees.
Dedication Of the memorial trees Is
planned for Decoration day, at which
time the Legion will have charge Of the
services. The ceremony Of the laying
Of the corner stone will occur later in
the summer.
The Memorial Lantern" as the
monument Is tentatively known, will
be maintained by the park officials
without cost to soldiers organizations,
and arrangements are being perfected
by them to make the burning Of the
great light perpetual.

KNOW THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
Minneapolis Aliens, Members of Amer.
ieanlsm Graduating class, Sing
1.-THE star.spanolsd Banner"

At least one group Of Minneapolis
aliens have proved that they know
the words Of the national anthem.
1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner" better
than do many native Americans. ac-
cordlng to q report received by the
Americanlsm commission Of the Amer
ican Legion.
These aliens, all members of Amer
icanization classes conducted through
out the city by school and naturaliza-
ton officials, have completed their
night school work and made up a
class of 63 graduates at commence
ment day program recently held.
Greeks and Italians mingled with
the blond sons Of Norway and Swe-
den, lads not out Of their teens sat
on the platform with number Of
middle-aged women and older men,
all with mutual desire-to become
American citizens.
As the closing feature Of the COM
mencement day program both the
class and the audience. numbering
nearly 1000, stood and sang the ma
tional anthem. Those of the class
knew the song, every word of It. The
learning of 1t had been one Of the
most interesting achievements Of the
whole course of training for citizenry
,xhey had undertaken. Many members
yof the audience. singing away, STUN
bled over words Of the verses, forget
ting, them, while those who were as
pirinA to become American citizens
sang every word.
Diplomas were presented to all
graduates Of the class by Minnesota
school and naturalization authorities,
under whose auspices the classes are
held. The classes are well attended
and are decreasing difficulties which
naturalization presents to the foreign
er, making Americanization problems
much easier for both the authorities
and the aspirants for citizenship.

INSIDE PAGE OF JOURNALISM
Same Thing Has Been Known to Exist
In Other Cities Besides the
French Capital.

Some years ago there were in Paris
two papers, the Razor and the Scor-
plon. which were always attacking
each other. Every week people bought
the Razor to read how It cut at the
Scorpion and then purchased the Scor-
pion to learn how It stung the Razor.
A certain phllanthropist, feeling
rnined to see such animosity dis
played, invited the two editors to dine
In the hope that over good fare he
could make peace between them. At
the appointed time one lean, melan.
choly man presented himself and was
ushered In. After an interval, as no
other guest appeared, the host de-
manded:
"May I ask, are you the editor Of
the Razor or the Scorpion7"
Both said the sad-eyed man.
