Two brown eyes reproached him.
Instantly the youth was repentant.
Warm arms held her close as he
kissed her forehead, her lips, her
hair and eyelids.

Her words were interrupted. One
hand frightened fiercely on each
OF Celia's arms. Shields eyed her
intently.
Her answer was ~fluttering. low.

IL love you'll"
The wind had grown stronger.
A grooming oar OF thunder broke
from the heavens as Celia was
speaking. Barney held her at a
distance, staring deeply into the
girls eyes as II he dare not believe
his ears. Then slowly he lifted
her chin.
Celia, darling" he said. Il can't
ask you to marry me now. I've
been t%hreshing this thing out with
myself all day. 1t wouldn't be right
to expect you to give up all the

"How could I"
They were brave promises ut

youth. How could this pair kn y
that sincere vows are often the

A splash OF rain was their first
warning OF the storm. A moment
later a blaze OF lightning lit I'D the
road ahead.

All this Barney Shields did.
Celia chung TO him, but still she
was not consoled.

Then why are you going?"
She told him the story. It was an
incoherent narrative, demanding

because there we're parts Celia her
self did not understand. And there
was the terrible prospect that next
day she would be on a train. trav-

u
year 1929 we exceeded all records
IN the amount of money given for pub
lie and charitable purposes. The be-
quests of this kind in the United
States during the year amounted to
two billion dollars, and this is an in
crease of a hundred and twenty mil
lions over the best preceding year.
Two billions of dollars is sizeable
sum, and if money talks, as it is usu-
ally credited with doing, it must have
something to say about the generosity
of the American people.
The gifts went for religious, edu-
cational and charitable purposes, for
the promotion of fine arts, for in
creased Fairgrounds and public rec
reation. Churches, hospitals, schools
and various institutions of social
and charitable nature were remem-
bered.
: More and more each year the sue
cessful man, the man successful in a
financial way, is coming to regard his
money as a public trust. He is COM
ing to realize that since he can not
spent all. of it in a personal way, the
best way to get a lasting memorial
for himself is to do something with it
that will be of benefit to the people
of this and succeeding generations, so
gaining for himself a kindly memorial
in the hearts of men.
Let our record of public benefac-
lions stand as an answer to those who
sheer at the idealism of the United
States and paint us as a nation Of
money grabbers. The Cincinnati En-
quirer well stated recently:
at is such land, such people,
such individuals with the essence of
divinity in their souls that is traduced
and maligned by those social revolu-
tionaries who see in Russia, for ex7
ample, the workings of great ideal
and who constantly urge change OF
the principles of government and So
ciety which have brought America to
the peak of prestige and power the
country enjoys today.
"This is a land Of labor and bust
ness, but it's great souls find time and
opportunity to send the sun days of
happiness, comfort, uplift, education
and gentle, practical charity into the
lives of millions"

OUR PRESENT POLICY

In recent address at Philadelphia,
Vice-President Charles Curtis said:
"It is a pleasure to call your atten-
ton to the fact that since the World
War the peoples of the civilized world
have engaged in the. most important
movement-world peace.
eve would like to see the time
when nations will settle their dis
putes by methods other than war. AS
government and as people we are
dong and will continue to do every
thing possible to bring this about,
but we have no desire to and will not
be drawn into other countries politi-
cal quarrels, nor into entangling alli-
ances with other nations"
It seems to us that this sums up the
present policy of the United States
in a nutshell. That the United States
is willing to do all it can to promote
peace is evidenced by the record. In
1921 this nation called the naval limi-
tations conference and made consider
.Rble ssssAf tess1SSthe way of battle
ships in an effort to promote interna-
ional disarmament. We promoted the
Kellogg peace pact which is the most
important step yet taken by the ma
+tions of the world toward worldwide
understandings in the interests of
peace. We have gone to the London
conference with a willingness to do
whsg we can to further the cause of
thee limitation of armament and are
only insisting that in the final agree
ments we shall have naval parity,
something which our position in world
affairs, our world trade and national
wealth entitle US to.
We feel that we can best promote
the cause of world peace by keeping
the skirts of the United States free
from foreign entanglements and ALI
ances with the nations of Europe All
efforts to involve us in such entangle-
ments will only create suspicion and
distrust in the United States. We are
willing to go as far as any nation
along the path of universal peace but
we; feel that we can be of greatest
service to world peace if we retain
our national sovereignty an dindepen-
dance of action.

An Interesting Fact

Frequently the most interesting
phazes of the history of state are
found in obscure foot notes used by
the author to explain a happening OF
outstanding Importance.
Charles Wilson Peale was an artist
of unusual ability of the American
Revolutionary period. AS early at
1774, while in London Peale painted a
portrait of William Penn, which he
called the "first fruit" of his art,
and which seemed to particularly
please the English in those trouble
some times. With the possible ex-
ception sof Copley he remained
throughout the period of the Revolu-
ton the leading painter of his day.
1t was Peale who painted the first
portrait of Washington as a colonel
in the Virginia MALTA and later a
full length portrait of the General as
commander in chief. His final por-
trait of Washington as President was
painted in 1875. His son, Rembrandt
is probably better known in general
history than his father.
His reputation, therefore, as an ar
fist is well fixed in history. On the
other hand, he is perhaps not so well
~ Nv
Benjamin H. Latrobe, architect OF
the Capitol at Washington, an Eng
lishman, had a very voluminous cor
respondence regarding men and
events of the post-Revolutionary per-
iod, of which letters he kept copies
At that early period, before the time
of typewriters and carbon papers OF
letter presses, it might be wondered
how Latrobe, a man of large affairs,
could find the time to retain copies of
letters, as the "home copies" of let
tiers to friends in America are the
same as the ones addressed. This he
was enabled to do by the use of a
cleverly devised two-pointed pen and
accompanying apparatus designed by
the artist, Charles Wilson Peale. This
device enabled the writer simultan-
eously to inscribe two copies.
Again, Marylander took the lead
in advancement.
