 This Is the city's monument to its dead. an honor to their deeds, and their valor-a tribute to the sacri- fees of those who could not go. an everlasting triumph to the glorifica- tion of world wide brotherly love and peace.
 ''To me has come today the won derful privilege of laying the corner stone of our World War Memorial. cementing this important stone to the base, depositing within this stone relics of our day and age that some future time may know our history. It is an honor that comes to a man usually but once in a life time, and am deeply appreciative. Yet the honor is not mine alone but rests as mantle on every citizen of our city, so join with me in the spread ing of this cement and may a spiritual cement heal up the wounds of other days, assuaging the pains and bangs of grief that we may be bonded together more closely in our love for God, for country and our fellow men,"

My son John and his wife:
 Us four;
 And no more
 There you have the little ideal of a family. narrow. bigoted. in tolerant. But there is another con- ception of the family which, loving wife and son and daughter-in-law to the full, still thinks of the family in relation to all the other families of the community. This is the true ideal of family loyalty; and by it us four come to the fullest and noblest definition of their charac- ter and purpose. In the same way there is a small and narrow con- ception of patriotism, which says America for the Americans in- stead of America for the world. Now America cannot be what it should be for all the world until America is first of all what it should be for itself. America can not serve the world best except by becoming the best possible America. Patriotism begins at home, but it cannot and must not end there. China and India and Turkey and Russia are bound into the bundle of national life with us. We must be great and free and good, not for ourselves, but for the universal brotherhood of mankind"
 Address by Mayor Weld
 Mayor Weld spoke as follows:
 "Once again we are privileged to meet in solemn commemoration of the deeds of the past, and as we pause and look about us-to the North-to the South-to the East and to the West we see the homes from which the sons of New Britain left to do battle for the honor of their country. Overhead the eyes of heaven look down upon us through Gods glorious canopy as we erect upon this slightly hill municipal memorial to the soldiers, sailors and marines of the World War, upon this hill which is in the heart of New Britain, and has watched our con- ings and goings, shared our sorrows and joys, until in our thoughts and minds it has become an animate part of our daily lives. As this stately shaft rises step by step, stone by stone, each new day will call forth new thought, new memory, a new tribute to those men who 80

 Patriotism must be tolerant. Surely this is a paradox. How is a citizen to be convinced concerning the right and courageous in pursu- | ing it, knowing that other citizens will also have their opinions and policies which may contradict his, Iand yet be tolerant and generous? This is one of the central problems in democracy and one that We must face with clear minds and clean hearts. This clash of conflict in program, is the very glory of Il democracy. It means that patriotic 1 policies have not been imposed from without but emerge from within the body polite through the pain i of conflict and the stress of crea- tive struggle. Or, to change the fig ure, differing political ideas and programs are the anvil and ham, mer between which are shaped fiji i the white heat of conflict the hull and anchors of the ship of state. i In this practical situation it is the problem of every citizen to learn the rare secret of combining loyalty to his own sense of truth with re- spect and honor for the opinions 1 and policies of those who with equal honesty disagree with him. l may hold my convictions firmly and work for their realization stub bornly; but I have no right to force them upon you by any other force than that of their own essential truth and reason. In the same way l have the right to ask you to treat me; and out of this process emerges the final political and patriotic idealism of a democracy
 l Patriotism must be patient. This i is a restless age. Its slogan is, Bring home the bacon.' It demands results and insists upon them i'm mediately. It is an impatient world. And yet the more we study the long record of human development the clearer becomes the tireless pa tience of the Great Builder of the l Universe. It was a wise man who said, The trouble seems to be that l am in hurry and God is not. The passage of a century in the making of a nation is not a long period when we think of the aeOns which are consumed in the mak- ing of the earth. Sometimes 1t is worth while to reckon with the
 brief span of time between the year 1776 and the year 1927 Our gen. eration must not expect to garner all the fruit from the seed-sowine of our own fathers or from the planting of our own hands. The
 consummation is a far off, divint
 event." which our weary eyes will
 not see. So the true patriot docs
 his work and waits for the long
 process of maturity.

ARCHDUKE LEOPOLD NOW
 WORKS AS MOVIE EXTRA
Austrian, Having Spent All His Money, Finds It Neces-
 sary to Go to Work.

Los Angeles, July 21 (UP) - Archduke Leopold of Austria, who spent all his money shortly after his arrival in this country for a tour, now is a full fledged motion picture extra
 The Austrian nobleman went to work before 8 camera here yester- day. reinforced by his secretary, to earn enough to return to Europe where he hopes to avenge the ''in- suit" which he insists Count Laszlo Szechenyi, Austrian minister to the United States. flung at him recently when His Royal Highness asked the envoy to handle a loan for him. Count Szenchenyi now is in Europe.
 The archduke wants to follow him to fight the duel.
 Beginning his day at s o'clock in the morning the noble actor re- hearsed and toiled and perspired before the camera all day. His sec retary mopped the royal brow aft CT each camera shot.
 Since the bit played by the arch duke, that of a German army cap tain. called for a crop of hair, and the archduke. although young. is approaching badness. toupe was pasted on his head. One difficulty arose. The archduke was required to salute general. Leopold couli not register the correct salute.

MRS. DAVIS NEARING. HER 9TH BIRTHDAY
Enjoys Good Health and Keeps
 Abreast of Times

Hopeful that the life Of content ment and happiness which she has enjoyed as a native and lifelong resident of this city, will continue, Mrs Alkaline S. Davis, is preparing to observe her S9th birthday anni- versary tomorrow.
 Mrs. Davis leads a rather active life despite her advanced age and goes automobile riding with her daughter, Mrs. Edward F. Hall and her son-in-law, State Finance Com missioner Edward F. Hall, several times every week. She makes her home with them at 23 Parkmore street. Occasionally Mrs. Davis makes trips uptown to transact bus iness.
 Another anniversary Mrs Davis expects to observe within the near future is her 55th year as member of the First Baptist church which organization she joined in 1873 when there was but few churches in the city.
 She was born July 22, 1888, the daughter Of Mir. and Mrs. Davis Steele. At that time the city was nothing more than a village and farming was the principal industry. Her fathers farm covered the terri tory where Beaver street and Farm ington avenue cross. She attended the old Osgood Hill school.
 Mrs. Davis remembers Elihu Bur ritt, 'The Apostle of Peace" and New Britain's international celebrity. The only time she ever recalls actu- ally seeing him was in Dickinson's $ Drug store when both were making purchases. Her parents knew him we'll and often spoke of him.
 Besides being interested in the First Baptist church she is affiliated with the Pythian Sisters and of the Spansh War eterans Auxiliary.
 She has the following sons: Vic tor Davis, a New Britain fire de- partment captain, and Francis Davis: three daughter. Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Minnie Martin of Plainville and Mrs. Charles May of this city A son. Samuel c. Davis. was killed in the Spanish-American war

During those years I attempted hon. estly and happily to make my mes sage and service as wide as the world that was thronging our streets and building our civic and social in- stitutions. And here on this very spot, I found my inspiration and strength.
 Tt was my habit. almost every Sunday morning, to come here for the uplift and encouragement for my service of the day. Here. time after time, l stood at sunset, when the sun was casting long shadows across the snow or when the sounds of the city were softened by dis tance through the summer air, to reckon up my days work against the problems and the prophetic meaning of the city. The far-off hills, the extensive landscape, the lights and shadows spoke to me. But chiefly the city, my city and my parish, lay before me. lured me to fresh enter prises, heartened me to braver serv- ice. I saw the factory chimneys, the spires of the churches, the streets with their homes hidden by the foliage of summer and more fully revealed through the bare branches of winter. My grateful memories crowd my words as I try to describe the visions which I have seen from this summit-the greater and nobler city. the finer and more richly equipped institutions, the citi- zens of tomorrow in the boys and girls of today. Reverently. I say, l have dreamed and made high reso- lutions and worshipped on this place of vision and splendor.
 And now you, citizens and low CTS of New Britain. have chosen tc crown the point of my love and in- spiration with a monument which shall defy the tooth of time and rise sublimely, commanding anG glorious, when we who are gathered here tonight shall have returned without fear to our kindred dust And if I, who long ago sensed thu awe and wonder of this high place were to offer a prayer and proph ecy. it would be that this summit thus made a sanctuary and shrin, of all civic and moral ideals, would
 be forever vocal to the people 0
 our city and always remain for them
 as once 1t was to me, a point o
 vision and a mount of glory.
 And now let me attempt to de
 fine that patriotism which must nc
