the houses. But this IL hardly fair to
those who seek q location. Sometimes
the numbers are irregular. A vacant
lot may intervene. Or some eccentric
ity of enumeration occurs to thro"
things out of order.
Each house should be marked so
distinctly that its number can DC
easily seen from the walk. preferably
from the driveway. The numbers
should be large enough and plain
enough to enable every person who

The obscuration of house numbers

Many a householder who has his front

Perhaps there can be no way of
about this matter. 1t may
have to remain the business Of the

it is an item Of sufficient Importance

Ridicule Of Chicago Mayor

Mayor "Big Bill' Thompson Of
Chicago, having launched an organi-

country under the slogan, America
Firstv has been greeted with a broad
side Of ridicule from the press. Never
theless. his attack on school histories
and historical publications generally
has started a more or less serious
discussion of the need for some revi-
sions even though the editorial
writer's point out that hate OF other
countries Is not unessential to patri-
otism.
AS the Houston Chronicle expresses
il. "The great hullabaloo may attract
the attention of the country to the
importance of truthful and unbiased
histories. Those of all the world are
being rewritten" continues the Chron.

whom it may hurt or help-now pre-

Commentator of the Chicago cru
sade by q Minnesota mayor Is quoted
by the St. Paul Dispatch. which points
to the suggestions that the importance
of teaching more history in the schools
should be recognized. and that the
object should be Ito develop a citizen
who can love his country without
hating any other nation. The
Dispatch observes: Here is sound
definition of patriotism. Fundamental
dignity and strength characterize such
a sentiment. 1t cherishes the tradl-
10 lxoc IL ev.rtInH nf Onp'S
country, but it leaves room for con-
sideration of the facts Of history.
1t respects the aspirations and ac-
of other peoples. This
concept stands in sharp contrast TO
the jingoism and bigotry. drawing
their fervor from hate, which some
times pass for patriotism In America.
There is no reason" In the opinion
Of the San Diego Union. why history
and patriotism cannot be fostered side
by side without either interest con-
flicting with the other. A child can
be induced to love and respect his
father, even though no effort is made
to teach him that his father is a COM
pendulum of all known virtues. An
equally clear-sighted love Of country
is attainable-and highly desirable.
We are in favor of pro-American
