held that "all men are created
equal" Liberty has been held sa-
cred 1t is life. without 1t man
does not secure the full enjoyment
of his. existence, desired and due
him. The Declaration has been a
path, ray Of light in the dark, to
tcertain persons tyrannized and
bound in fetters by some despotic
king, a king abhorred by all free
men. The Declaration served to
show a way for these persons. Their
yoke could and must be thrown off
Their goal, their ambitions, became
one and inseparable. The spirit
which brought about the restoration
of unity in Italy; the formation of
the French republic; the rebellion Of
the Russians; independence gained
by Brazil and other former Spanish
colonies; the new independent ma
tions established since the World
4 war, received it's encouragement in
one way, the way pointed out by
/ the Declaration.
The Declaration, whatever the
! original case was, has brought Eng
land and the United States closer to-
! gether in common understanding, as
c0nsanguinity demands. 1t has pro-
NOTED and maintained the, rights of
/ Englishmen against parliamentary
usurpation. 1t has induced equal
/ the suffrage. The Declaration haA
proclaimed principles Significant to
1 England as well as the rest of the
world.
! In 1898 the United States inter-
vened in behalf of the Cuhans, be-
cause of their belief and mainten-
Eanee of the same principles we did.
! We secured the independence of
/ Cuba and although we had a chance
/ to do SO, we did not annex it. All
fthis was a further application OF the
Declaration, which was re-affirmed
and given new luster, IL was acted
on and vindicated, and through it
we secured the eternal gratitude of
a free people.
We associated with the Allies in
the recent war because a govern
ment's ambitions were contrary to
This document saved the Allied
i countries from tyranny and de-
struction. These countries owe to
the Declaration, debt that cannot
be paid. Lives were lost, tears were
shed, husbands and wives were part
ed, children cried for their lost
fathers, some sweetheart wept for
the soldier WHO had gloriously died
while carrying the flag in No Mans
Land or the Argonne Forest. Ev-
/ erywhere was sorrow. Nothing but
the Declaration could furnish the in
| spiration for these noble deeds or
console the sad in their bereave-
ment
The solidity and perpetuity of
monarchs might now be maintained,
/ if the Declaration had not been
written. But it has established on
this continent. as well as on the 9TH
er continents, the supremacy of the
civil authority over the military,
the subordination of the army to the
unarmed people. The benevolence
which spoke in the Declaration and
was infused into the Constitution
i has been adhered to by all the peo-
pie. The constitutions OF most for
eign countries are modelled after or
contain the leading provisions of the
American Constitution. We can
readily see that these constitutions
!. have been and are the agents of the
Declaration. They spread the prin-
ciples of the Declaration throughout
the world and guarantee the people
the rights and principles of self
government.

What The Declaration OF Independ.
erce Means TO Ne
| (By Maurine Elizabeth Og1eVee,
Bristol Township, Grade Winner)
/ The Declaration of independence
/ is legacy to which every boy ard
girl in the United States are heirs.
! This legacy was handed down to us
by men who though poor in worldly
goods, were rich in manhood, char
acter, brains, and brawn, and We
have more reason to feel proud Of
them than has any country Of its
rulers OF royal blood
I think the most important thing
for we children to apply to ourselves
are the examples of true manhood
and womanhood of those heroic peo-
pie. Namely, vision, courage, and
tenacity. Vision, because they
could look ahead and see what tree
dom would mean to the ones who
survived, and to the future OF Amer
lea. Courage, because though few
in number teven some of the colon
lists weren't in sympathy with their
stand for freedom), without money,
equipment, or sufficient military sup
plies, 13 weak unorganiZed states
declared war upon the most power
ful nation of the globe. Such won
derful courage as they possessed has
never been equaled; time and again
they were whipped, naked, hungry
and cold. but for seven long years
they kept coming back, until that
wonderful day at Yorktown, prov
ing that right must always win over
might Tenacity. Weaker men would
have grown weary Of the strife, bat
our heroes knew no defeat; their
Jenacity was the thing which won
the victory, secured their liberty,
and made America the first republic,
now the strongest nation Of the
world, and the peer of the whole
world. BY heritage it belongs to
us, and We are proud to say My
Country"
Every boy and girl should try to
make it a still better country, by
being interested in the administra-
tion of its government, and as we
grow older, assume some of its re-
sponsibilities, always remembering
the men who suffered and died to
give us the privilege of a govern
ment by the people; and all have an
equal right to all the privileges af-
Torded 10 the people Of this great
nation.

Warm Weather Street Clothes Should Be Comfortable Cool
 Looking and Chic

Three rules must be observed if one is to be dressed comfortably as we'll as smartly. at this torrid sea- son of the year. In the first place, clothes must look cool as we'll as be cool. Secondly, the lines must be loose and easy to insure the maxi mum amount of comfort. And finally, the fabrics must be durable enough to stand frequent cleanings.
 For the woman who is forced to remain in town during the greater part of the week l have designed warm weather street costume that Is cool, practical and chic. The materials are thin but durable, and the colors not so light as to neces- sitate many trips to the cleaners.
 The frock is a slender one-piece affair of printed silk, in black, white and cherry red. It is pleated from neck to hem and bordered with a band of plain cherry red silk.
 Over this is worn a soft coat Of black crepe roma. This is slightly fiared at the sides and may be worn open or tied loosely at a low waist line.
 (Sheer coats are among the smart features of the midsummer mode, Sketched is black crepe roma coat over pleated frock of printed silk.)

\. BAD ADVISER

As we tried to bring her to. there was a noise in the hall and in strode Jem Smith. At the sight of loan Iand 1 in there with Leila so still and white on the pillow, he turned and almost shouted in a rough voice:
 50 you have killed her with your demands, Miss Meredith! We'll, let me tell you it will do you no good. l can carry on for her. I know that you and Barry were at that road house, and I have the name on that register myself"
 I looked at Lels quickly. Was it possible that Providence had let her die and left us in the hands of this bounder?
 To my relief and surprise her eyes flew open with jerk. She had heard the voice of the master of The Cir cle, the voice that she feared, the voice that made her dance whether she wished to or not.
 What is it. Mir. Smith ?" she asked, before her lazy lids dropped again and shut out all expression in her face.
 Although her voice was hardly above whisper, the man heard her.
 He rushed over toward the bed, 'Dop't you believe, Leila, what these danes have been telling you. They have probably been giving you some applesauce trying to make you think theys are your friends But I know Ill about them. They came to my place for your address I told them hat I didn't have it.

and her crisp voice put into words the warning which my own common sense began to give me as soon aS my own first flash of resentment had | faded.
 Its a part of the penalty" Lillian said. Anyone who works with Philip Veritzen surrenders in- dependence, and to a certain extent personally. But I think, under the circumstances, it's worth while for you, Madge. X year of work with him will give you a prestige you could not get anywhere else. If you are successful, as l am con- fident you will be, there will be nothing in your especial line which is not possible to you. You will be an established authority, and the mas wita the mousetrap in the middle of the forest will be 6 piker compared with you.r
 "Ede VIII Never Wall" e
 l laughed at her extravaganza of speech, but I resolved to obey her counsel nevertheless.
 
 'I'll telephone for messenger right away" I told her. And than I'll get ready to go shopping with you"
 "Shopptng!" Her face was a pic ture of incredulity, then it sudden ly cleared. "oh! yes, I did hand the Dicky-bird something about get ting Marion dress, and I would have dragged you out too, only I can't pass up the chance of being here when Edith telephones. Sc I'm going to stick around the dig glngs until then. Afterwards, if there's time, we'll go shopping"
 But Dicky said she wouldn't tele- phone until afternoon" I said. .t
 That may all be-" she quoted ' but just take it from me-, Ede will never wait until afternoon to set off her chest what l think is >n it."
 She proved to be true prophet. Or it was not long after the tele- 'rapb messenger had departed with ny note to Philip Neritzen that the elephone. rang and I, answering it, leard Edith Fairfax's voice at the 'ther end.

 It was then that I pushed for ward, for I understood that if Lela gave Jem Smith that paper he would bleed Joan all her life.
 Don't give it to him, Mrs. Corn wall. Joan has been telling you the truth. Place the two people together side by side. What has Jem Smith ever done to you except to try and throw you into the arms of any man that seemed to admire you and then take all the money that he could get out of you.

stopped to listen. At first he heard
 no sound. Then he heard that
 barking again far away. Reddy
 crept back to the top of the sand dune. You should have seen how lcrafty he was. As he got near the
 edge he fiattened himself right down on the sand and crawled. He crawled
 until he was right behind a little
 bunch of coarse, stiff grass growing
 on the very edge of the sand dune.
 He peeped between the blades of
 grass. It was bright moonlight. He could see almost as we'll as if it were daylight. No dog was following him. He looked back toward those rocks. No dog was there.
 Such funny funny look as came
 over the face of Reddy Fox. It came to him just then that no dog could have been barking behind him when he was way down there at the edge of the water for no dog
 could come by way of the water
 Slowly Reddy got to his feet and stared back at those rocks. His black ears were cooked forward. There it was again-the bark! And it came from out in the water. At least, Reddy was sure it did.
 Slowly, taking step and stop ping, taking another step and stop ping again. Reddy moved back He was nervous He was all ready to run at the slightest hint of danger At last he was at almost the very edge of the water. The barking still ] carne from out beyond. Then Red- dy's sharp eyes caught sight of something moving on a great rock out in the water. His first thought 1 was that somehow dog must be l out there. Then, as the moonlight | fell full on that rock, Rfddy saw that it wasn't dog at all. It was sm ooth- bodied and 1t looked sleek in he moonlight. Reddy could see no egs. The head was round, 1t made Jim. think somewhat Of the head Of Little Joe Otter. only this stranger vas very much bigger.
 Once more he heard that bark and | his time he saw the stranger open A lis mouth. He knew then who it E vas that had fooled him. At least, le knew it was this stranger who fad fooled him. The stranger flop led clumsily across the rock and uddenly slipped into the water. teddy saw that round head moving wiftly above the surface of the wa CT. Then it disappeared
 Well" said Reddy, q should like 3 know who that was"

 He had just found fish that had been washed ashore. It looked like a very good fish. Reddy opened his mouth to pick it up, when suddenly there was a sharp bark right behind him. Reddy didn't even take time to look. He didn't pick up the fish.
 Away he raced Up the beach as fast as his legs could take him. sev- eral times he heard that bark and each time he heard it he tried to run a little faster Vixen he was safely up back of sand dune he

nfadge Follows Lillian's Hint to
 Platter Veritzen

There was distinct mischief in Lillian's voice and eyes as she told me that Philip Veritzen would be a trifie disappointed at the severely business-like tone of my note, all though he generally complained that women were too temperament tai to be business-like. I knew her meaning. of course. She had made more than one pointed allusion to her conjecture that the famous Broadway producers professional interest in my acceptance of the his- tory research work he had offered me held also a personal note. At first she had drawn an embar- rassed flush from me by her non sense, but l was determined that I would give her love of teasing nc food upon this occasion.
 Well! I'm not going to change 1t, unless you insist" l said with carefully assumed petulance. It's correct enough, isn't it?"
 "Oh! absolutely" she assured me, grinning.
 eThen I'll run out and mail it right away.' I said, rising.
 She sent me back into my chair with a protesting wave of her hand.
 Frankly, I was Surprised"
 You evidently haven't yet made Mfr. Veritzen's acquaintance" she ssid. He is used to breathless as- pirants for any chance to work with him. Frankly, I was surprised that | he didn't withdraw his offer when 1 you told him your acceptance must | hinge upon securing the proper per son to take care of Junior. But | don't let him get the impression | that you are treating him cavalierly. Send that note. by messenger instead of mailing 1t, so that he will believe you notified him as soon as you knew yourself what you could do."
 I stiffened involuntarily, for an Innate independence made me re- sent this trucking to the whims of any man, even so distinguished a as Philip Veritzen.
 Lillian's keen eyes watched me,
