Where the Nations Traditions Live
Back East, where they still have Civil war veterans
with them to preserve the necessary traditions of the
past, it is necessary to get out inc the country to get the
real touch Of Memorial day.
The cities Of course put on elaborate celebrations, but
there always is the dehling feature of sports to rob the
day Of its reverential character. Very largely the occa-
sion Is one Of sacrilcge to those city dwellers who really
appreciate the heroic things in Americas career.
But in the small towns Of the East it is different. There
the observance often is Of a personal character to the
entire population. The dead Of the wars whose graves
are to be decorated. II Of the Civil war, still are renaem-
bered as old acquaintances by most Of the townsfolk. To
others they even are fathers or grandfathers or other
kinsnen. And the dead Of the World war are still closer
and more keenly remembered as sons, brothers, hus-
bands, old friends. buddies. All Of which preserves the
traditions Of the day. It is In the small town that one
really feels the inner meaning Of the holiday pulsing
beneath the festivities that have over|aid it.
There isn't. in fact. any better way to get back into
touch with the old Amsrtca-the America that began to
evolve into something new about the time that Henry
Ford started to flood the country with cheap automo-
biles-than to take q little motor trip on the 3oth Of May.
It Is always worth while to drive out into the country,
on Memorial day or any other day. The artificiality OF
city life shrinks to its proper proportions when you have
rolled along through a quiet. green stretch of farmland
for an hour or so. But all Of this is especially fitting and
proper on a holiday that dates back right to the middle
of our reign as q land Of farmers. It puts you into the
proper frame Of mind.
Then you come to one Of those diminutive country
towns, identical the country over; q white frame church,
q couple Of stores. q school house, a little cluster of
houses. q water tower. a grass grown public square and
p little cemetery. all enaboweged in that peculiarly Amer

Alan stared at her.

Foiling the Racketeer

TUIIIIIB VIC 1VUVTCUCC1
One way to foil the racketeer, evidently, is to refuse
to be afraid Of him. a.,
Two tough guys from Detroit dropped down to
Cleveland the other day, looking for a little easy money.
They looked up a w~ell-to-do merchant, found that he had
a 6-year-old son, and proceeded to call the merchant up
by telephone. Unless he paid them $4,000, they said
they would kidnap his SON and bomb his store.
This scheme usually works, but this time it didn't. In
stead of getting scared, the merchant called the police
The two tough guys were arrested within II hours. and
now cells in Ohio's terrible penitentiary are being pre-.
pared for them.
The racketeers method of operation is chiefly bluff
If the bluff is called promptly it is the racketeer that gets
into trouble, not the victim.

And Alan knew that she was moi

! trick at all for me to get out of that

popped into Chatterer's head. He actu-
| ally became excited over it. why
didn't I think of it before!" he ex-
claimed. "I'll just get Jimmy to go in
that corncrib and drop some corn out
to me. He likes corn. so we will both
have all we want. That's what Jimmy
was doing in that dream and I don't
see any reason why he cannot really
do it. I must see him. I must see him
at once"
Chatterer started back for the Green

until he reached the Green Forest that

Chatterer the Red Squirrel had had
a dream. So very real was that dream
that when Chatterer awoke at the
break of day he could hardly believe
that he was there in his snug bed in
the hollow tree in the Green Forest. He
actually rubbed his eyes and looked
around to see if he were alone.
Jimmy ought to be here" muttered
Chatterer, who was not yet fully awake.
IT don't see where he Is. He was here
only minute ago."
And the Chatterer became fully
awake and realized that he was at
home in his hollow tree where, of
course, Jimmy would not be. He
sighed. II wish it had all been true
instead of a dream" said he. II can
see Cousin Jimmy bringing me corn
now. He had found way of getting
into Farmer Browns corn crib. and he
was not only getting all he wanted for
himself, but he was getting some for
me. My, how Jimmy can jump! /
would give anything in the Great World
If I could jump like that. What
couldn't I do! Jimmy is lucky. Yes,
sir, Jimmy is lucky"
Now, Jimmy is, as you know, the
Flying Squirrel Just before he had
gone to bed the night before Chatterer
had received a visit from his cousin
Jimmy. Probably it was that visit that
had mace Chatterer dream of Jimmy.
Now that he was wide awake, Chat
terer couldn't forget that dream. AS
usual, he went up to Farmer Browns
dooryard just for look around. He
knew he couldn't get into that corn
crib, but he just couldn't keep away.
He even climbed up in the tree near
the corncrib-the one from which the
broken limb had been cut. AS he
looked down on the roof of the corn
crib the memory of his dream sud-
denly popped into his head once more:
IF 1 could jump like Jimmy, "
thought Chatterer, ''it would be no

Winnie Totes Baby
Piano Around As Pal

Whether she Is on location or
working at the studio, a small
vest-pocket edition piano is equally
as important to Winnie Lightner
as her makeup box. Between
scenes, she always makes a bee
line for the piano, and plays and
sings.

which is now playing at Warmers

depicts the role of a song plugger,
and after singing and playing be-
fore the camera she sought an
easy chair instead of her tiny
