misunderstanding the oppo

ty against any delay in putting Into
effect quickly the Japanese provision
which the administration had sought
to delay in order that diplomatic me-
gotiations might be entered into In
an effort to settle the question.
Before adopting the conference
report the house rejected by a vote
of 246 to 33 motion by Representa-
tive SABBATH, Democrat, Illinois, to
recommite the bill for a conference
for a number of amendments. He
expressed no objection, however, to
the Japanese exclusion provision OF
the report.
The vote by which the conference
report was approved was 308 to So,
representing wide margin over the
two-thirds that would be necessary
to repace the measure in case of a

The report was sent to the senate
Immediately.
President Coolidge is giving
thought to the action he will take
on the measure when it reaches the
White House.
The president was said authorize
lively to have reached no decision on
the question. Indications are, how
ever, that he. is giving thought to
these three courses of action:
Signature Of the bill without any
statement or declaration.
Signature of the bill with an &C,

disapproval of the exclusion provision
in such a manner as to modify Of

Return of the bill to congress

in their faded uniforms marching or
being reverently drawn to the solemn
observances? Can you not picture
great bouquets of lilacs and daisies
generously provided from natures

Now what is this all about? If only
If only we might take a day off to

good Americans think and do and re-

That single wind7whipped flag by a

full today springs from stressful and
sacrificial yesterdays. In 1861 young

Memorial Day

Gather the garlands rare today,
Snow-white roses and roses red;
Gather the fairest flowers of May,
Heap them up on the graves of clay.
GLADDEN. the graves OF the noble dead
Pile them high as the soldiers were
Piled on the field, where they fought
and fell:
They will rejoice IN their new place
there
Today. as they walk where the fragrant
Is sweet with the scent of asphodel.
Many a time, I've heard 1t said,
They fell so thick where th@1 battles
were,
Their hot blood rippled, and. running
red,
Ran out like Till from the drifted
dead
Staining the heath and the daisies
there.
This day the friends of the soldiers
keep.
And they will keep it through all
the years.

weep.
And water the garlands with their

ly these venerable men are passing
from usD may develop this sense of
gratitude on Memorial Day by talking
with such a veteran. On a national
day like this we realize that the good
event never just happens, that all our
developments, be they personal, do
nestle or national, cost in human
energy and sacrifice. The first emotion
ON Memorial Day is this pulsating
sense of gratitude, which memory,
that blessed moral power, can awaken
in the heart of every patriot AS we
think of what our plenty and prosper
ity have cost, we love our country
more.
Vital patriots, moreover, desire TO do
as well as to think Thus our holiday
must be In part a holy day. We
thoughtful Americans may devote
some time to the active commemora-
ton of our valiant dead. Surely for
many years the American people have
been honoring the Unknown Soldier.
They have not limited their praise or
their floral offerings to men they knew.
No one need scan the name beneath
the flag before bestowing a grateful
benedictiOn.
Patriotism is a living thing. The
waves of history reach to our very
shores. In our own time how multi

Elective gratitude! Since the Civil

enJOyaDle, pleasures .I of life are being forgotten. But neither sex can blame the other, both are re- sponsible.
 The mode of life does not need to af- feet the behavior of young men and women, however. Certainly the young lady who demurely received her caller sitting on the parlor sofa could be as correct or incorrect there as she can be now in the present-day independence of being allowed to go out with him instead of having to receive him at home. It is all up to her and l am quite sure that the girls who write to the papers saying that men do not want to take out well-behaved, self-respecting girls have taken wrong attitude which has given them this idea.
 There is no doubt that men (and I should think everyone) dislike prig. There is a world of difference between being that and being a dignified girl who does not behave cheaply. Give men something else to entertain them and they will not want cheap behavior; give them nothing and they probably will. Remember that many men will try being impertinent once; it is up to you to make the man understand not to
 
 man worthwhile) do not make him feel a fool or so uncomfortable that he will never want to see you again.
 In other words, he may be trying to find out if that is the kind of thing you want and may hope that it isn't. Don't be priggish in your manner of making him understand that it isn't. If he is worthwhile he will respect you without oJo oE s~I,f your part and, in consequence, strained situation; if he doesn't, then he isn't worthwhile or worth bothering age man does not admire cheapness. He may take advantage of it, may be amused by it at times, but he is al- ways subconsciously disdainful of it.
 Any girl who is attractive-I don't mean looks, as I have often said they are not essential-but attractive as a companion, interested, alive, good fun, will not have to make herself cheap in order to find male companions. It is no more necessary today than it was yes terday. You can be all these things without being cheap. You can be a jolly good dancer without dancing in q cheap way; you can be entertaining without being vulgar; you can dress well without being flashy; you can use lip rouge and powder without looking ready to step in front of the footlights repeat, you can have great fun, make your companion want to see you again and, at the same time and without be- ing a prig, keep your dignity and self respect. A little tact, little sense of humor and the situation is in the hands of the girl if she chooses.
