Proud Patriotism

wwTASHINGTONIANS are glad to have the Daugh-
w tiers of the American Revolution with them again
for their annual Continental Congress.
Assembled here for the fortysixth time the Daughters
furnish an example of proud and practical patriotism
which is an inspiration not only to the National Capital
but to the entire nation.
Rooted deep in the history of the country, the tradi
tons and principles of this fine organization vau
able and valued contribution to the stability and perma
hence of the United States.
The LOYALTY which the women comprising the organ
ization have for their ancestors is not loyalty to in
dviduas so much as it is loyalty to the things for
which those orefathers stood and for which they fought
It is LOYALTY to those with the courage and the will
to found nation and dedicate it to its independence as
q nation and to the independence of its individual
citizens.
In time when many of those citizens seem willing
to either give away or sell that independence the
durance of the Daughters of the American Revolution
and the perseverance with which they adhere to funda
mentals of our national existence become increasingly
important.
America is fortunate in having the Daughters and
similar organizations to stand bulwarks against
the dangerous doctrines which preached by those
who want change only because it is change and not
because it will bring Improvement.
It is fortunate in having these organizations which
stand ready to protect it we'll from the perilous at
tacs to which any great and prosperous nation is sub
iected by the envy of other nations.
It has become "smart'' in certain circles to decry
patriotism to at loyalty to rdcule those who will
not sacrifice fundamentals for whms to abuse those
who would place principle above expediency
True Americans will not be slow to resent these at
tacks on the best that is in national existence.
And in the forefront of true Americans stand the
Daughters of the American Revolution.

Between the years 1910 and 1868
twelve dental schools were found,

Shenandoah Festival

THE announcement of the dates of the Shenandoah
Apple Blossom Festival is always forecast of
pleasure for thousands of Washingtonians.
This year it is announced that the fete Of the apple
trees will be celebrated in Winchester May and 8.
The setting Of the dates is sufficient to take
care of the calendars of many Washngonans for those
two days.
For Westinghouse know by experience the beauty
of the Shenandoah Valley when the trees bloom they
know the hospitality Of the Virginia towns in wecom-
ing visitors to the ete and they know the charm of the
pageantry with which Winchester greets the blossoms.
great deal of time and effort is spent by members
of the various ete committees in preparing the detailed
plans for the festival and for the accommodation of
those who attend.
These committeeman and commtteewomen give
freely of their energy a civic duty.
But is duty which deserves and is given the graft

ARTIFICIAL TEETH
Among the most ancient relics of

teeth, with ingenious contrivances
to hold them in place. For never,

Mr.. Riddell was the young man
who was chased off the pavement

In order to make it all fair and
square he has written the Chief
Justice just like this:
"Dear Mr.. Chief Justice:
'In view Of the Supreme

on such important cases, am
wondering whether 1t would not
