George Washington,
Reliable Counselor
His Wisdom Points the Only Safe
Path for America Today

America celebrating the 2O3d anniversary of Washington
BIRTH pay greater tribute to his memory than to read
ponder and ACT upon the counsel that he left to poster
His wisdom has never failed the nation his advice has al
ways charted the for his felowcounymen his
warnings necessary today they were when he won
independence for his people.
And as his writings and speeches reveal the subject always
nearest his heart was the SAFETY AND SECURITY OF
THE UNITED STATES
We publish herewith thoughts Of Washington that
every American should study, and heed
"TO be prepared for of the most effectual
means of preserving peace.
"a free people ought not only to be armed but dis
ciphned, to Which end a uniform and UeLL-digested
plan is requisite and their safety and interest require
that they should promote such manufactures tend
to render them Independent of others for ESSENTIAL
particularly military, supplies"
"There is a rank due to the United States among
nations Which UUH be uOitheld, absolutely lost,
by the reputation of Weakness If De desire to aOoid
insult, be able to repeL it; If desire to
cure peace it must be knOWn that are AT ALL
TIMES READY FOR WAR;"
"To an active external commerce, the protection of
a naval force is indispensable. . 1t is in
experience that the most sincere neutrality is not
sufficient guard against the depredatons of nations at
uuar To respect for neutral flag requires
naval force organized and ready to Undicate it from
insult aggression. This may eUen PREVENT The
NECESSITY OF GOING TO WAR;"
"HoweUer pacific the general policy of nation may
BE- it ought never be Without adequate stock of
military knowledge The first uUoud impair the energy
of its character, and both uOud hazard its safety
expose it to greater eOils Uhen Uor could not be
avoided; besides that, might often not depend
its choice"
"Againt the insdious .Ules of foreign influence q
conjure you believe me, feo-czens), the jealousy
of a free people ought to be CONSTANTLY quake.
The great rule of conduct for in regard to
foreign nations is, in extending commercial reld-
tiOns to haUe with them little POLITICAL cOnnec
ton as possible Europe has set of primary in
terests which TO haze a remote reLa-
ton. Hence she must be engaged in frequent con-
troversie the of Ohich essentially foreign
to our concerns. Why quit to stand upon
foreign ground? Why, by interviewing destiny

and prosperity in the tolls of European ambition rival

ture-the picture of a man
assuming the leadership of
that young nation; stepping
out of class comfort, class pride,
class security to assume the
leadership of ragged, hungry,
desperate men rebelling against
tyranny.

And then the third picture
the picture of that first small
flag, so crudely made, yet carry
ing in it's simple folds such
mighty import. For that was
no mere decoration, that first
flag.
There was a symbol Of some
thing actually done; of blood &C.
tually shed; of suffering actually
borne: of brotherly help actually
given. Out of all that they made
it
THE STARS AND STRIPES!
And now today that flag,
grown larger, prouder; floats
over this vast nation from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, from the
st. Lawrence to the Rio Grande.
And we, the heirs of those who
made it, bow in reverence to
that flag for which they fought.

AND WHY DO WE BOW?

MEAN NOW?

you don't have to read any
thing that you don't want to
read. Skip it, and go on to the
next page. Keeping abreast Of
current events is one thing
maSOchism is another"
But that old New England
streak in me, that atavistic
yearning for a bad time if a
bad time is possible, turned my
eyes down into the column
which was headed "FUR-BEAR-
ING TROUT AMAzES AN
GLERS. It's pelt is Called Sure
Goiter Cure"
And here I am-not only
thinking about it, but actually
writing about it. I may not be
able to finish, but here 1 am
passing the unhappy news on
to you.
William C. Adams, director of
fish and game activities of the
State Conservation Commission
of New York, is the authority.
Passing up, for a moment, just
what fish and game activities
call for direction, let us accept
Mr.. Adams as a man who knows
his piscatorial onions.
He has everything to lose and
nothing to gain by frightening
me with a cock-and-bull story
about fur-bearing trout.
Deep in the lakes of the Vel
IOwstone, where the waters are
So cold the never freeze" says
Mr.. Adams, looking you straight
in the eye, "haS been discovered
this peculiar denizen of the deep.
Its fur has been found extremely
useful in the prevention of
gOiter. When collected into a
neckpiece, the possibilities are
unlimited"
This would seem an under
statement. The possibilities OF a
neckpiece made of trout pelts
would not only be unlimited
they would be staggering. 1t
could easily drive the Wearer
crazy, just by her thinking OF
what she had on. It would start
a civil war.
"What is that lovely fur you
have on, my dear?" THAT is
unborn trout. My husband
caught them"
Pistol shots ring out, brother
takes up arms against brother,
the country 'diSsolves rapidly
into chaos, and the Japs move
in on the ensuing confusion.
How would you like to have a
Japanese regiment quartered in
your house?
I feel that such news as this
which Mr.. Adams brings should
be kept from the public. 1t
does no one any good to know
that there are such things as
fur-bearing trout. If the pelts
are good for goiter, let goiter
sufferers take advantage of
them under another name, such
as "piscarin" or "troutoxin." If
neckpieces must be made of
them. let us go to the French
for the mode and call them
"fourrure de truite."

comparisons between his first
"horselesS carriage" and these
latest chromium-plated creations.
My first gasoline machine was
built in Hartford, Conn.,, in
1896, and when the frost came
out of the ground in the spring
of 1897, 1 determined to at
tempt the 27-mile run from
Hartford to Springfield, Mass.
The machine was three
wheeler, with a single cylinder
air-cooled engine that might be
stretched to two horsepower.
The vehicle was intended to be-
come a delivery tricycle., but for
this trip the delivery body was
removed and a platform and
tool box substituted. The driver
sat on a bicycle saddle over the
rear axle. The mechanic sat
in the tool box.
DIFFICULTIES
We started from Hartford at
5 o'clock one evening. Once
out of the city, every horse we
passed reared up on his hind
legs and required a full stop
and the combined efforts of
all hands to get him down to
earth and past my machine.
Every half hour we had to oil
up. This consisted of remov-
ing a cap from the engine
crankcaSe, and pouring in one
cup of very thick oil.
My carbureter consisted of
my gasoline tank. Air was
sucked into one end and drawn
out at the other. In passing
over the gasoline, the air
picked up enough vapor to
make an explosive mixture. An
air valve controlled this mix
ture. We carried a five-gallon
can of gasoline dashed to the
platform. Gasoline could only
be bought in drug or paint
stores before dark. When the
volatile parts had been used
and the mixture grew weak,
we drew off what was left in
the tank, threw it away, and
filled up with fresh gasoline.
We used about half of what
we bought.
We made so many stops for
horses, for oiling UP and
casing up, and rebuilding and
tightening up the machinery,

There are certain days when
I don't want to hear about GER
tain things. Do you know what
I mean?
Today I do not want to hear
about fur-bearing trout. The
very words "fur-bearing trout"
are offensive to me, either in
print or in the spoken word.
So today I read that a man
has reported to the Anglers
Club that he has discovered a
fur-bearing trout. That's the
way my whole life has been. At
first I thought that I wouldn't
read about it.

could wish; that they will con.
troll the usual current of the
passions, or prevent our nation
from running the course which
has hitherto marked the destiny
of nations.
"But, l may even flatter my
self, that they may pc produc-
tive of some partial benefit,
some occasional good that may
now and then recur to moderate
the fury of party spirit, to warn
against the mischiefS of foreign
intrigue, to guard against the
impoStures Of pretended patriot
ism; this hope will be a full
recOmpense for the sOIicitude
for your welfare, by which they
have been dictated"
What State in the union,
what community in the land is
not cursed today by "the fury
of party spirit?
AS for "the mischiefs of for
eign intrigue" they have long
made of the Federal City a nest
ing place and are now building
other nests in schools and COL
Ieges, whence are supposed to
come trained leaders for the
service of the nation.
Not only the Federal Govern
ment, but the governments Of
the several States were never
more harrassed than now by
the impoStures of pretended
patriotism" These impostures
infest the arena of public Serv-
ice and also many other walks
of life.
FITTING OBSERVANCE
It has long been the custom
for the Senate, on Washington's
Birthday, to listen to the read
ing of portion of the Farewell
Address.
The time is at hand when
both houses of Congress and
every State legislature in the
land would profit themselves
and reflect the homage of the
plain people for George Wash
ington if they would assemble
on WaShington's birthday to
listen to the reading of the Fare
well Address in its entirety.
Until WaShingtOn'S birthday
is again given a truly national
observance among all sorts and
conditions of loyal Americans,
Americas birthright will be ne
elected.
And "the children of the ma
ton" will be tempted by their
elders Ito prattle ignorant and
perverted Sights of the man
who, with steady and Skillful
hands, laid the foundations of
its greatness and prosperity"
And, among all these men

good men the greatest, of great
men the BEST"

that it was late at night when
we reached Windsor Locks. We
stopped for supper here, after
which we had to fight our way
through the crowd that had
collected around the machine.
We reached Springfield at
2::30 in the morning, Gathering
merrily through the silent
streets to the CONSERVATION of
several policemen.
This early machine Of mine
gave a splendid imitation Of a
runaway tin peddler's wagon.
I drove into the stable yard of
the old Massasoit Hotel.
A SENSATION
AS we clattered into the yard,
we awakened the Waterman
who had been doing comfort
ably in the stable office. Hear
ing the awful din, he jumped to
the conclusion that something
terrible had happened and,
grabbing a lighted lantern,
catapulted out into the stable
yard, the worst ratified man l
ever remembered seeing. My
mechanic was quick to grasp
the situation and to aggravate
it, he grabbed the lid of the
tool box and began slamming 1t
up and down, thereby augment
ing the Gathering noise and the
Watchman's confusion.
Seeing our dim light and moth.
ing much else, the Waterman
advanced timidly toward us. He
probably had never seen nor
heard of a gasoline automobile.
When he was quite near, my
mechanic jumped off the ma
chine and ran up to him in the
dark. Standing very close, he
shouted in a hoarse voice:
"Say, is this Philadelphia"
philadelphia" exclaimed the
Waterman. GOOD heavens,
man-nO! This is Springfield,
MaSS.!"
Turning to me, my mechanic
remarked, in an informing sort
of way:
"He says this is Springfield,
Mass"
Later on, the Waterman told
me that when he heard the aW-
full noise, saw the little flicker.
ing light, he concluded that one
of the big B. and A. locomotives,
running with throttle open, had
fallen off the embankment and
crashed in his stable yard, and
the driving wheels were clawing
up the ground.
This was the first Connecticut
built automobile to run out OF
it's home State. We were 10
hours in covering the q miles
from Hartford. A modern ma
chine requires 40 minutes.

Despite the inclusion of Sug-
