BOOknldn Has Story Of
Capital by Nancy HOyt

There are so few stories and
articles and sketches and what
not written about Washington
lie that have the truth-touch in
the details That it is refreshing
to read Nancy Hoyt's story in
the Bookman for August.
For this young ~noyelist appears
to have made only one error in this
respect. And that is when she
has her hero going to recep-
tion at the Pan-American Build.
ing given for the President by
a South American country.
1T is not the custom for Presi-
dents of the United States TO at
tend receptions given In their
honor in Washington by any
country. He might go to a re-
eertion given to mark special
celebration or the presence of a
distinguished visitor from a for
eign power. But the President
would find himself beseiged by
invitations from the so and more
countries with representation here
should he be favorable toward
such individual hospitality.
So for the most part the en-
PERTAINING accepted by the Presi-
dent is of domestic nature
that is, 1t is confined to dinner
parties given for him by mem.
bers OF his Cabinet and the
Speaker of the House.
Not So, Bad

is not so blatant, however, for

The house is large and i'm

had thought likely to be sold
only TO an embassy or legation.
Nine. Hauge bequeathed It to
her brother, Ross Todd, OF
Louisville, Ky. He has not
wished to use it for q home. how
ever. And so after removing all
of the furniture, he put II on

THE BRAIN ATHLETES
COMPETE

A new kind Of college athletic
contest took place just recently,
when two teams of 10 students
each met in competition between
Harvard and Yale, to see which
should pass the best examination in
English composition and literature.
Heretofore, it has seemed as if
the physical athletes got most of
the scholastic glory. Now if many
colleges and schools would go~ in
for these brain competitions, sue
cess in scholarship would be more
highly esteemed.
There seems a certain dispropor-
tion when a successful football
player is acclaimed over the entire
length of the country, while the
fine scholar may be hardly known
in his own college.

WE REMEMBER

For a day the nation becomes re-
membrancer. Somewhere in this
vast and dixersely-born people there
is the binding loyalty Of a great
common service. If for the many
the day has become merely a release
from labor, an occasion for self
amusement, it remains for millions
of homes a tender retrospect, sancti-
fed by service and crowned by the
immortal fulflment of complete sac
rifice.
Turning to gaze down the years of
this nations story, the people see
how vast that army is that gave it.
self. It discovers the dim figures of
those who fought the fight in the
Civil War, and the even DINNER
forms of those who died to give
birth to a new liberty. 1t recognizes
with instant vision the wounds left
by the World War and numbers on
its farms, in its homes and in its
shops the great roster Of those who
have gone to join the biyouac of the
dead.
And yet another army-undis-
unremarked, perhaps
forgotten except in that intimate
family circle where memory never
dies-the army of those who wore no
uniform, carried no weapon, but in
civil employment as surely and as
surrendered their lives to
the public service and added their
unnoticed greatness to the sum of
national character.
The flags and the flowers will
show the story. But the real signif-
Icance dwells in the life of this peo-
pie, whose days are richer and hap

passionate hatred of everything
that was low, mean, or crooked. He
fought low standards in politics and
business, and he had a tremendous
influence in roofing out these abuses.
His influence inspired the country
to demand the cessation of these
wrongs.
Elihu Root has been great man,
who should have been president. He
had one of the keenest minds ever
known in our politics. AS senator
and secretary of state he did great
work for international peace, COM
merciaI development, and sound law
making. We still benefit from his
statesmanlike service.
Charles E. Hughes is one of the
same superb type. His services to
the cause of international peace and
stabilization of war torn world
have had most far reaching and ben
eficial effects. He too should have
been president.
Then we have a number of great
men now holding high Office in the
party. 1t is not neces-
sary to name them. The Republican
party was the natural vehicle
through which these great minds
and patriotic statesmen found the
way to express their ideals. It car
ried out their high and beneficient
purposes, which have brought the /
country to new level of welfare.
The party is still attractive to men
Of that type, who will continue to
use it as the instrument of progress
and achievement.

THE GRADUATION DRESSES

In thousands of cities and towns,
the girls who are soon to graduate
from high and grammar schools,
have been planning for the doings
of their commencement day. The
question of what kind of clothes
they are to wear figures quite large
ly in their plans. It is a quite i'm
portant milestone in their lives, and
they want to look their best.
It sometimes happens that the
most costly dresses may be worn
by girls from families of quite lin
tied means, while the daughter of
some wealthy family may be dressed
simply.
The family that thus makes this
extravagant splurge, will sometimes
say that their girl has never had
much chance in life, but they pro-
pose on this occasion to see that
that girl wins all the favor that
good clothes can bring.
Such extravaganza is generally
by teachers. They be-
lieve that a public school gradua-
tion is or should be a democratic
affair, in which the students all ap-
pear on level and in which no
effort is made for display. In
many places the idea of a somewhat
uniform and simple style of dress
is favored, since it tends to blot out
class distinctions and jealousies.
Such a plan is admirable, since it
draws attention away from the ex-
-erior appearance of these young
people to their mental attainments.
These exercises are not held to
show how pretty these girls are, or
low nice they can be made to look
n their fine feathers, but what !
Milford chronicle., 1928-05-25

they know and what the school has
taught them, and what the benefits
of education are.
The girls in some schools make
their own clothes for such an oc-
casion, which is also a commend
able plan. They show not merely
that they have learned their lessons
well, but have acquired common
sense ideas of thrift and handiwork.
Here in Milford the graduates are
on a common level, and all wear the
cap and gown costume. It's a reg
ulation imposed by the local Board

pier for the sturdy, unselfish devo-
ton which keeps not merely the flag
flying but sustains vital and quick
that for which the flag is the symbol.
For these are the ones who build
ed the nation for our inheritance; !;
the soldiers and sailors, the marines
and volunteers, the clerks and the
workers of post Office and govern
ment department, all those of loyal
heart and devoted service, of all
ranks and origins, of all races and
ages, of all degrees of fame and OBJ
scurity-a misty, gallant, self-for-
getful army, who have left in our
hearts the honor they guarded and
increased.
The road lies open this day; the
fairways are green, the rivers spark
ling; even so, remembrance must be
our companion and, perhaps, our i'm
pulse to renewed patriotism of the
kind that adds to the nobility of our
heritage.

THE PARTY OF GREAT MEN
The Republican party has always
been laughed at a good deal because
it took so much pride in its past. Yet
the old proverb says that the only
way one can judge of the future is
by the past. Somehow the Republi-
can party has had the gift in past
years of attracting to its standard a
wonderful group of great men, who
have had a marvellous influence in
shaping the progress of the coun7
try.
Take Theodore Roosevelt, for in
stance. He was the greatest moral
and political reformer the country
has ever seen. His heart b1azed with

MEMORIAL DAY LESSONS

While the merited tributes of re-
spect are paid on the National Mem
orial day to all who served in this
country's wars, the veterans will tell
us that we are called upon to do
something more than show good pa
triotic manners. They ask us to
honor and recognize their service,
by doing what we can in behalf of
the country for which they offered
their lives.
Patriotism is something more than
showing a proper respect for the
flag of the country, or than rising
when the national anthem is played.
The former soldiers remark that
they gave all they had freely and
willingly, and obeyed orders without
question, while many Of us can't do
the simple every day services which
citizenship calls for.
It seems strange to them that if
they were willing TO go INTO Cne
trenches to fight, many of our people
today won't take the trouble to vote
to keep their country straight.
Memorial day for the great major
ity of the people is an occasion for
sports and pastimes. Veterans re-
gret that absorption in pleasure,
that distracts attention from the pur-
pose for which the day was created.
But If we are to take the day us a
holiday, let US at least not forget
the war veterans, and let us give
our support to them in all their ef-
forts to promote good citizenship
here in Delaware.
