Patriotism Day
Observed at COny
High Assembly

A most interesting and impressive
playlet entitled II Am An American
was presented Tuesday morning at
Assembly Hall at Cony High School
in observance of Patriotism Day of
the Education Week program. The
playlet presented by three of the pu-
pills furnished food for thought to
the members of the student body and
was we'll worth seeing.
: In opening Miss Doris Groves
spoke urging patriotism for all our
heritages. She told of a meeting OF
the school children in New York
City to celebrate the Fourth of July
in which one boy, a descendent OF
native Americans, spoke first. This
boy, portrayed by Waldo Clark then
appeared and he told of his an
cestors. who fought in the Revolu-
ton, threw the tea overheard in
Boston harbor and of the magnifi-
cent heritage of patriotism which
they had given to. him.
The foreign born boy, character
lied by Lionel Lemieux, was then
introduced by Miss Groves. For a
few minutes this young speaker held
his audience enthralled as his pas
sionate words rang out. He spoke
of his ancestors who had toiled I'M
der foreign masters. Then the dream
of America came true and under the
blue sky of this free land, he vowed

ing of this nature could not have
been held in Boston and declared
that Mayor Curley, by the policy
which he had adopted had done more
for the order than had their own
speakers
Mr.. Allen took up the school aues-
ton briefly, explaining his belief
that before accepting the statement
of anyone who would assail the pub
lie school system the people Of the
country should find out what was
offered in it's stead and what the re-
suits of the proposed system have
carried out. He pointed out that the
United States affords an opportunity
that no other country does for the
young men and women to rise above
their sphere into which they were
born and to make success of them
selves upon their merits, and attri-
buted this largely to the public
schools.
Miss Marguerite Bailey Of Wor
cester, Mass, a national lecturer for
the Women of the Ku Klux Khan,
spoke briefly to the women, express
ing her belief in the necessity for
concerted action by the women for
the future welfare Of the country.
DeForest H. Perkins Of Portland,
grand dragon of the Realm of Maine,
was the final speaker. He told brief
ly something of the Maine realm
which was charted last July and IS
functioning in every county in the
state. He declared that no new
realm is chartered until the member
ship is of sufficient size to WELD
considerable influence. He read a
portion Of the oath whic his taken by
every klansman and spoke of the de-
sire the Khan has for clean politics.
In this regard he declared that the
members of the organization felt at
the time he was elected, that Govern
or Ralph o. Brewster was a man who
would give his best to his State and
that they are of the same opinion
today.
Upon the stage with the speakers
of the evening were Rev. H. A.
Clark Of Gardiner, grand klud Of the
Realm Of Maine, who acted as chair
man. Rev. A. e. Leigh Of Randolph.
who pronounced the invocation and
the benediction, and several of the
grand officers. The stage was dec
Grated with the American flag, a
small fiery cross. and pictures of for
mer President Harding and of VIII.
liam Jennings Bryan, each shrouded
with crepe. Music for the evening
was furnished by seven piece or
chesfra under the leadership OF
Frank A. Dennis.
1t is understood that closed meet
ing of Khan members was held ear
lier in the evening but this could not
be verified.

Sick Trees Made
Well by TRANSMISSION

Auburn, Cal, Nov. 1s-(AP)-
TRANSMISSION operations on sick trees,
with a solution of ferrous sulphate
assuming the character of arboreal
blood, are being made successfully in
California. Diseased trees have been
brought into prolific bearers.
DR.. c. B. Lipman, professor of
plant physiology at the University of
California, said when here that the
treatment promised to eliminate such
plant scourges as aphis and the
blight.
The tree is treated as gently as a
human. A hole Is bored about three
quarters of the way through the
trunk. and glass tube inserted and
sealed in with specially prepared
wax. A bottle reservoir is placed at
the height of the tree top and is
connected with the glass tube by a
hose. Thus the solution flows gently
into the tree and is absorbed.
