American Legion
Renewing Patriotism

Old memories will burn brightly tonight when Washington
veterans of the World War will assemble for the fifteenth
annual convention of the District Department the American
Legion.
This city, which often extends itself welcome national
conventions will take particular pride in this purely local
gathering
The veterans overlooking nothing in their efforts to
make the meeting spectacular and worthy of the organization
to which they belong.
All of the units of the department will be represented in
parade which will pass along Fourteenth Street and all
ngtonans who have opportunity will do to gather
along the line Of march,
The Central Business Mems Association will be host to
the veterans during the threeday encampment at Central
High School.
In these days of rapid changes in
it particularly fitting that the who fought and bled
to the nation should gather the patriotism
and faith which then led them to the battlefields
Washington is proud of the she sent to battle and
she is proud to have them gather together tonight.

Formidable Foe

For the nizam has been a
powerful ally Of Downing
Street and could be formi-
dable enemy, and the shrewd
English are at great pains to
recognize all Of the privileges
and dignities Of this hitherto
strong prop of the British
raj.
In the strong room of his
palace at Hyderabad, the
nizam has 800 tons of gold,
almost as much as the Bank
of England can boast. He
rules over 100000 people,
this monarch of medieval
might, and commands a royal
salute whenever he fares
forth in state.
This stoop-shouldered, cof-
fee-colored, black-mustached
master of 100000 lives
owns so many diamonds,
rubies, emeralds and pearls
that he could use a coal
shovel to scoop them in and
out of the bins in which they
are kept. But this croesus
of India is far and away
from being the open-hearted
spender that his father was
before him.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

SURE I'M DIFFERENT. For
here are ecstasies that no one
else can ever know. Here are
delicate mysteries impossible to
cruder souls. So I rave on-not
knowing that I share each JOY
with every loving soul!
Dreams, tears, fears, rebel
lions, regrets and ecstaSieS-
none of them is unique. None
of them is really my personal
experi ence." They are all
EVERYBODY'S personal expe-
rience. They are woof and warp
of the universal fabric of life.
Therefore, as part of MY linn
tied life, these experiences are
not particularly important or
valuable. I may feel very poign-
antly about them, but that
feeling won't buy me much il I
keep it to myself.
BUT IF I CAN REALIZE
THAT EVERYBODY FEELS
THE SAME WAY, AND IF I
CAN USE THAT REALIZA-
TON AS A KEY TO ENTER
OTHER LIVES, THEN EVERY
XPERIE NCE, HOWEVER
TRAGIC OR TRIVIAL, BE-
COMES A PRICELESS ASSET.
Prove it? Prove it for your
self. Observe some human who
has suffered a great grief or
defeat, and has kept that agony
locked tight within his own
heart. What happens? You've
seen it happen. Year after year
that human grows more self
centered, less approa chable.
Finally his life is walled off
from the common experience as
completely as if he were locked
in a cell.
Then observe some wiser per-
son who has endured as heavy
a blow, but who realizes that
such experience is all-of -a-piece
with the average human lot
and proceeds to act accordingly.
What happens to him? He not
only wins love, but he accunu-
lates power. BY SHARING
HIS LIFE WITH THE OTHER
FELLOW, HE NOT ONLY
EASES HIS OWN HURT BUT
HE INCREASES HIS OWN
HAPPINESS.
Why do newspaper coluln-
nists make copy" of every
thing that happens to them?
That's why.
THEY PASS LIFE on-NOT
BECAUSE THEY'RE GOOD,
BUT BECAUSE Y'RE
SMART. THEY KNOW THAT
LIFE GOES SOUR UNLESS
YOU KEEP 1T IN CIRCULA-
TON.
If you're wise, you'll follow
the columnists' example. Stop
thinking that you're different.
Stop believing that your expe-
rienceS are unique. Realize that
they're only "copy"-only val'.-
able if and to the degree that
you pass them on.

it.

Of course, no man marries for

marry for a support, in these
days. There are plenty of nice,
comfy hotels and apartments

high-Salaried jobs for women.

is LOVE-but each expects to
get something else along with
love. And the average man
dreams of restful. homelike

OF course, it is not always the

aged man marries a woman al

hardly expect her to fossilize
into a "mid-Victorian model
wife" It just can't be done!
She hasn't had her fling, yet;

time before had seen Krieglacher en-

Thomas steered his way between the
tables and dancing couples toward the
eminent surgeon.
Luise and Vladimir were left alone
Shall we dance?" asked he.
She replied frankly, mo, we don't
have to dance"
Her smiling, happy eyes rested upon
his face. Her hand lay on the white
tablecloth close to his Luise's warm
humanity had healing effect upon
Vladimir. He considered himself cool
and calculating as far as women were
concerned or any of the other realities
Of life. There was great nostalgia In
his heart, but he did not believe there
was any place on earth where it could
ever find q home.
What are you thinking about, sweet
little prince?"
He was pondering the problem as to
whether he was in love with Luise be-
cause her warm humanity surrounded
him like comfortable room which one
doesn't want to leave. But he couldn't
quite make 1t out. Yesterday he was
alone on this big liner; today he was
no longer alone. That substantially was
all that he knew.
"There is little Mill Lensch," said
Luise.
The green crepe chine dress and
the smart little felt hat entered the
door. Luise thought at first that thus

apparition was excellent but that the
little girl underneath was hardly worth
considering. But her gayly exalted mood
demanded that she should find Mill,
too, bewitching. When the little girl
and her plump companion sat down
three tables away she sent one Of her
violent, passionate looks over toward
her. Luise rested her warm hand on
the princes hand and said, "She has
the most beautiful eyes on the Co.
lumbia"
Vladimir had caught Mills intense
look, but had been left Indifferent by 1t.
He sat beside Luise just as one sits be-
side a stove without having the slight
est intention Of exposing himself to any
tempest.
Mills debut was a disappointment to
Luise. She had been looking forward
to a grotesque scene-the ancient but
always effective comedy; girl Of the
lower classes suddenly thrown amongst
her betterS. She had expected shy awk-
wardnesS, comic blunders, and other
small misadventures and finally great
debacle. But nothing of the sort hap
pened. Mill had remembered all the
instructions of old Marius. She held
her teacup daintily-perhaps q little
too daintily-and she drank her tea
without a sound. She put only two
little salmon sandwiches on her plate
and two tiny pieces Of cake In spite Of
the tempting abundance that was
offered her.
A bright young woman, once she has
an end in view, has no limits of adapt
ability.

Even if Sybil wasn't the woman he
had thought her to be for five years,
she was still woman, living being,
not dead stone; even If she had fol-
lowed Shortwell of her own free will,
even if she kept her door locked to her
husband without Shortwells orders
even If all these things were true, she
would be frightened at her own actions
and repent. And then -.
Then-perhaps will no longer be
able to care for her. Perhaps will
never be able to love her again as I
have loved her; perhaps then will be
jealousy and with my own hand take
her and lead her to Shortwel.
But this thought brought him no
release; on the contrary, it was terribly
painful, like thinking of the death Of
some one who Is irreplaceable. It will
no longer be I, this man who has
ceased to love Sybil it will be another,

Thomas violently tossed the revolver
back into the drawer, and double lock-

in his convulsive fingers. A sudden,
blood-red wave Of hate rushed to his
brain when there came knock at the
door. It was Luise Clemens.
