America is the only country which is responsible
for the defeat of Germany in the World war. 1t is the
only country which could have won the war and which
would have the strength to win another war, should
there be one Immediately. Another war in Europe is
an impossibiity because every country there must look
out for itself as part of the white race against the IN.
vasion Of Asiatics.
There can be no war among the powers or Europe
so long as the present situation continues. and it Is
bound to do so because the countries which are in
habited BY the white race are crowded together on a
continent smaller than any others. To fight among
themselves would only invite the eastern powers to take
possession.
America is already the only effective stronghold of
the white race, because it is self-sustaining and pro-
tected by its position. With the Atlantic ocean On the
one side and the Pacific on the other. there II no
chance for invasion from any point which could not
be protected. Battleships would be Of little use in

fripidly ignored him. a bookish chasm

his steps when he heard sweet tem-
inine voice at his elbow.

He turned and beheld a radiant vision
in O fluffy Summer dress. Laughing

stammered helplessly.
"Oh. YOU want the dictionary" she
smiled. Right over here" And she
directed him to a stand that supported
the massive volume. IF you have any
special chronological problems We have
lots of fine reference books" she con-
tinued.
"Oh. no. thanks ma'am." Jimmy re-
plied. in what he considered to be a
tone of nonchalance.
The girl left him. Jimmy opened
the great book of random, fixing his
ewes unseeingly upon the center OF
the page. When a suitable length of
time had elapsed he intended to close
the book quietly. casually and Saunter
out of the door. But In a short time
his vision cleared and he stared in
tentlv at the words before him. He
was among the RS. There was rem
net" "renounce," ''renovate," "renown"
and a thousand more. He slowly read
the definitions. Good heavens. what a
mint of words! And he had been con-
tent to go through life with but few
slang phrases at his command.
That night q new resolution was

born In his mind He would utilize the
advantages that the library offered to
acquire the education that had been
denied him by the untimely death OF
his father. But It was not only a
fervid impulse toward learning that
prompted this worthy resolution.
There was more primitive urge-the
brown haired gill. She was assistant
librarian. and Jimmy took keen de-
light in her presence, in soliciting her
advice and opinions In matters per-
tanning to books.
AS the Summer passed and the days
grew shorter with the approach Of
Winter. Jimmy haunted the library al
most every night. The boOkish at
mosphere impaired subtle air Of re-
finement to the brown-haired girl
which set her quite apart from every
other girl he had ever known. To his
deep qualification she proved real
friendly and showed a genuine interest
in his studies. And under her expert
guidance his learning showed steady
progress, books had become his friends
and new worlds had opened to him.
Jimmy had made some discreet in
uuiries and had learned that Ruth
Anton, the assistant librarian. was the
daughter OF Prof. Anton of the State
University AS consequence he was
profoundly awed. Just to think--the
daughter of real college professor.
Why, he might even be an instructor
of English. At the mere thought Jimmy
threw himself into his studies with
more fervor than ever, and progressed
by leaps and bounds.
The long. bitter Winter passed. and
bluebirds and bursting buds hcralded

the approach of Summer. It was on
warm Sunday afternoon in early Spring
that Ruth and Jimmy had their first
ride together in Jimmy's fiivver. They
were driving slowly over the pleasant
country roads. The conversation. which
had been general, soon assumed more
personal aspect.
"Your father" ventured Jimmy,
must be a man of great learning"
why do you say that?" the girl
asked.
Because they don't put Prof in
front of a mans name without a good
and sufficient reason" Jimmy answered
Ruth smiled with understanding.
you've evidently been misinformed. :"
she replied. Dad is merely physical
instructor in the college gymnasium"
Jimmy gasped and the girl continued:
You see. dad was quite an amateur
athlete in his younger days. Later he

Jimmy gave vast sigh of relief.
He had dreaded meeting Ruth's ia
ther. having visioned him as an in
tellectual giant with a massive FORE
head. But now came the realization
that Prof" Anton's education was
probably even inferior to his own. The
thought gave him courage to press fur
ther attentions upon Ruth.
That was a happy Summer. There
were fishing and boating trips, and
motor outings into the beautiful coun-
try places. And the friendship Of Jim

beneath an avalanche of facts and
statistics. he would soon emerge trium-
phant by simply smiling and saying:
'Aw. SOS your old man." And that set
tied everything. There could be no
answer to that.
But. withal Jimmy was really an
honest and likable young man. He
had simply fallen into condition
which eminent educators have defined
as Zip lazy" However. he was never
one to let irksome trifles annoy him for
long. and as the bright Summer day
progressed he put the naughty lady
with unSeenly wrath entirely out of
his mind and cheerfully meditated upon
the fishing trips he had in view.
An uneventful week passed and
Jimmy was veXed. For no apparent
reason the word barbarian" required
to his mind from time to time. and
for the first time in all his % years he
became acutely aware of his deplorable
lack of schooling At last he arrived
at firm decision. He would go to the
public library that very night and look
in the "diction book" or the book
ionary' or whatever they called the big
book that told all about those high.
class words. And not only would he
find out just what barbarian" meant,
but he'd learn a few of those high
sounding words himself. SO that in the
future no fresh dame could humble
him with mere word.
Jimmy had passed the public library
many times. Its imposing architecture
filled him with a certain awe and he
deemed it best to array himself in his
finest Sunday suit for the occasion.
At : o'clock he mounted the broad
stone steps and moment later found
himself amid veritable nightmare of
books. They hemmed him in on all
sides, thousands of them. tier upon
tier. Big books that leered at him.
slender books that froZe him. fat
ponderous volumes that glowered at
him. contemptuous small books that

Y IMMY'S conversion really dated
from that memorable day when
a naughty and audaciouS lady
- had the temerity TO call him
barbarian Imagine! A barba-
rian. Jimmy could never forget that.
Had she called him 'chump" or
"fat-head" he would have understood,
but barbarian" was beyond the scope
of his comprehension He had but
a vague conception of the true mean
ing of the word. but he was positive
that it was terrible thing to call a
respectable young garage mechanic
And the insulting epithet was entirely
uncalled for.
The lady had driven up TO the ga
rage in a coupe. and in cold and I'M

In a short time the Job was finished
and he turned TO the lady.
"All done. ma'am" he announced
Here's your old brakeban6s. Better

''Then why did you take them OFF,"
she demanded. frigidly.

Jimmy. You didn't tell me to look

But I thought the old ones were

Nope. must be something else wrong

So Jimmy set TO work again. and

Jimmy was stumped for an answer.
and the lady had stepped on the self

he recovered sufficient wits TO yell after
her:
"Aw. SOS your old man"
Prom which il will be seen that
Jimmy was an adept at slang. AS
matter of fact. he took considerable
pride in his command Of slang ex-
preSsions. and reveled In the argu-
menative powers with which 1t en-
6owed him. No debatale subject was
