The Bored Are Boring
a People of Outstanding Personality
" Are Interested, and Never Blase

as colorful experiences are part
of their daily background. But
there is something definitely true
in what she says of a pose, of a
deliberate care never to seem inn
pressed, of a pretense at being
bored.
1t may interest such young
people to know that that super
sophisticate, G.. K. Chesterton,
said "there are no bores, only
people who are bored" In other
words there can be nothing inter-
esting about a person who is
bored!
That takes us right down to a
bedrock fact that can be observed
if we will note people of outstand-
ing personality, people whom ev-
erybody finds interesting. Without
exception they will be people who
are vitality interested. They are
never bored, never blase. They
are able to give out what interests
others, because through their in
terest in things and people about
them they are constantly taking
in. Their m ain ch arm is
certain aliveness, a vitality which
has absolutely no relationship with
being bored.

symbol perpetually to remind us
and unfailingly to teach coming
generations the value of the light
of liberty and our debt to those
who so valiantly saved it for US. !"
She pointed out that it was
impossible to have triumphal
arches or great memorials in all
places from which came men
who gave their lives in the war.
But they could be honored by
everyone, even the lowliest, by
wearing the red poppy. As a
result the poppy idea was in
troduced into many of the home
coming celebrations during 1919.
Adopted by Legion
On the eve of the Georgia
state convention of the American
Legion, August 10 and 20, 1920,
in Augusta, Miss Michael went to
the Legion headquarters in At
lanta and turned over to them
her arguments concerning the
adoption of the poppy. Charles
M. Galliene of Post No. /, At
lanta, took charge of the material
and presented the movement to
the convention. 1t was adopted
and the delegation to the national
convention was instructed to pre-
sent it at Cleveland, Ohio, and
to support the resolutions. The
resolutions were presented to the
national convention in Septem-
Der, 1920, and the poppy became
the national American Legion
memorial flower.
AS the idea spread in this coun-
try, word of it was carried across
the Atlantic. Nine. E. Guerin of
Paris read Miss MichaeIs poem
pledging to keep the faith" and
of her plan for wearing peoples
to memorialize the sacrifices of
the war. She Immediately organ
lied the American and French
children's league and sold pop
pies for the benefit of war or
phanS In France.
In an official report which she
issued from Canada early in Feb
ruary she announced: at h e
World war veterans have sold
100000 small peoples and 200,-
600 large ones, clearing 100000
for their relief work and for the
French, 100000 to go to the poor
French children of the battle
fields"
An International Emblem
In England the poppy program
fiourished tremendously. Earl
Haig's British Legion adopted the
selling and wearing of peoples in
1921 and since that time more

HNOUNC people of today"
i mother writes, 'seem to re-
gard it as a sign of immaturity
or weakness to be thrilled with
anything. Their idea of So
phistication is to appear bored
with everything, the having-done-
all-seen-all attitude that finds it
very difficult to be impressed with
anything. 1t is most annoying to
find that anything you can offer
them for good time seems to be
inadequate, that the thrills of your
own youth cannot be repeated for
them. 1t seems to me they miss
a great deal"
l would point out to this mother,
says a woman writer of interna-
tional note, that naturally we can
not expect that the thrills of our
youth will equally impress tn e
young people of this day. So
much that came to us gradually
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1936-10-29

wear the blood-colored blossoms
in their lapels: Italy, Holland,
Germany, Spain, Belgium, Swed-
en-, Switzerland, Poland, Greece
and Rumania. Poppies are even
worn in japan, China, Mexico,
Asia Minor and in every coun-
try of North and South America.
In this country the making of
buddy poppies," as they are
called, has become an important
factor in the disabled veterans
rehabilitation work. They are
made by disabled ex-service men
in hospitals in the East, at piece
work cost and the state depart
mentsN of the Veterans of For
eign Wars all taken certain quo
tas. A small amount is deducted
for national and state relief and
the rest goes to the posts that
sell the peoples to be used as
their relief needs arise. The
veterans are paid one and one
quarter cents for every poppy
they make and some of them
are skillful enough to turn out
from 300 to 400 peoples in day,
thereby earning about $500.
As for the woman who started
all this = today the name of
Molina Michael means "The Pop
py Lady" throughout the world.
She is one of two women who
received the Distinguished Serv-
ice Medal of the American Lee
gion, the other being Mrs. Cal
vim Coolidge. A few years ago
the Georgia general assembly
by resolution conferred upon her
the title of distinguished citi-
zen" for she is a native of the
city of Athens in that state.
The Second Coincidence
And therein lies the second CO.
incidence in this story. Back in
the spring of 1865 when the War
Between the States was drawing
to a close, the women of Column
bus, Ga. decorated the graves of
their war dead and the following
January the members of the
Ladies Aid society in that city
decided to perpetuate the custom.
They picked upon April 26, 1866,
the anniversary of the surrender
of Gen. Joseph Johnston, the
last formal act of the war, as the
date for their Memorial day Gel
ebration. Since that time April
rs has been observed as Con-
federate Memorial day in the
states of Alabama, Florida, Mis-
sissippi and Georgia and it is also
World War Memorial day in the
latter state. From the South the
idea of an annual Memorial day
for decorating the graves of the
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1936-10-29

"The Poppy Lady," Who Gave the
Nation an Emblem for Armistice Day.
was aglow with the inspiration
of a great idea, and their gift
which made it possible to put
her plan into immediate effect.
The next orning Miss
Michael went to see her friend,
Dean Talcott Williams of the
Columbia school of journalism.
She explained her idea to him.
He was much impressed and Of
fered to pass it along to a war
workers committee which was
meeting that afternoon. On that
committee were Mrs. Preston
(the widow of President Cleve-
land), Rodman Wanamaker and
other notables. Their indorse-
ment of the idea would give it's
adoption a tremendous impetus.
They Endorsed it enthusiastically
so Dean Williams reported to
Miss Michael after the meeting.
November 11-at last, the news
for which everyone had been wait
ing. The Armistice was signedl
The war was over! After the
first thrill of victory had passed,
after the tumult and shouting of
the celebrations had subsidized,
people began to think solemnly,
reverently of those who had help
ed win that victory but were de-
MED the joy of knowing that the
victory was won.
We are the Dead. Short DAYS ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sun
set glow,
Loved and were loved, and now
we lie
In Flanders fields.
America, thinking of them,
turned sympathetic ear to this
woman who was giving all her
energies to spreading the idea of
the poppy as national emblem.
She wrote innumerable letters
to women's clubs, to patriotic
organizations, to educational in
situations, to civic bodies. "Out
of every great event of the world
has come an emblem" she said,
Into this war went many en-
blems: the flags of the nations,
the Red Cross, the Red Triangle,
the service flag and pin. Now

The day was Saturday, NOVem-
Der 9, 1913. Throughout America
people were waiting-waiting for
the news which would free many
a home from fear and dread.
Two days earlier their hopes
had been raised to the skies, then
dashed to the ground by that in
cident of the false armistice."
But now they knew the event
was inevitable, that the war was
almost over.
On that November morning a
woman was sitting at desk in
Hamilton hall on the campus of
Columbia university in New York
City. She was Miss Molina
Michael, member of the
Y. w. c. A. overseas headquar-
tiers staff. A soldier entered the
room and placed a copy of a
magazine on her desk. Leafing
through it, she noticed a poem.
She started to read:
'In Flanders fields the peoples
blow
Between the crosses, row on
row
She read it through, then deep
ly stirred by the lines which had
been penned by Col. John Nc
Crae of the British army, she
read it again and again. Then in
sudden inspiration she seized
pen and a sheet of paper and
wrote this reply to it,
Oh! You who sleep in Flanders
Fields,
Sleep sweet-tO rise anew!
We caught the Torch you threw
And holding high, we keep the
Faith
With all who died.
We cherish, too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor
led:
1t seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.
But lends a lustre to the red
Of the flower that blooms above
the dead
In Flanders Fields.
And now the Torch and Poppy
red
Wen wear in honor of our dead.
Fear not that We have died for
naught;
Wen teach the lessons that We
wrought
In Flanders Fields.
When she had finished, she re-
peated to herself ''the poppy red
We'll wear in honor of our dead"
She would do that herself and
she would ask others to do it too.
At that moment three overseas
Y. M. c. A. and Y. w. c. A.
workers, who had been attending
a conference at Columbia, came
into the room. They had brought
her a check for $40 in apprecia-
ton of her efforts to make a
model hostess house of their head
quarters.
The First Coincidence
Immediately Miss Michael told
them about the poem she had
just read and the one she had
written in reply to it. Further
more she told them that the $40
would be spent to buy peoples
for her friends to wear in honor
of those who ''lie in Flanders
fields" They were as en-
thusiastic about the idea as she
was. Returning to their confer
ence, they spread the news
among the other Y. M. an Y. w.
workers. That afternoon every
one there was wearing red

Glass Paperweights Priced

Glass paperweights are among the
objects priced by antique collectors.
Many OF them were made by the
glassmakers as gifts for their
friends. Few of them are over 100
years old. though glass paper
weights were found in Egyptian
tombs and in Greek ruins. Most of
the dated paperweights were made
between 1847 and 1850 at the Bac-
carat glass factory in France, the
New England factory in Cambridge,
Mass, or the Sandwich Glass Fac
tory on Cape Cod.
