herself in a mirror. The yellow

brief brown jacket was stunning

much as the Southern Irish
shrink from adding anything in
the way of enchantment to
Northern Ireland there was
nothing else they could do about
it.
Here was the Saints landing
place, on what you might term
enemy territory-So that was
where the monument had to
be. The Protestant government
of Northern Ireland gave its
permission and then-whether
it denies it or not-let the wires
be cut which would have
brought the ceremony to the
people who paid for the monu-
ment.
LEW Americans are aware
= that both the groups which
make life in Ireland so zestful
with their quarrels claim Saint
Patrick as their own. The Cath
olics hail him as a disciple of
their church, ordained and sent
to Ireland to drive out the
Druids and to establish the
true religion. The ProtestantS
just as definitely put down the
famous man as the first of their
creed, declaring that he taught
a religion the fundamentals of
which were picked up about
twelve hundred years later at
the founding of the Presbyterian
Church in Carrickfergus, North
ern ireland, in 1912.

of it has accounted for many

Yugoslavia and Russia came in
on the side of England and
France, that would greatly COM
plicate matters, but with the
help of Japan, Germany and
Italy would probably win out.
No one knows whether Poland,
Rumania and Yugoslavia would
help England and France fight
such a war-that is all in the
gamble.
The strong probability is that
those three nations would re-
main neutral. We cannot forget
that Germany had England and
France badly whipped when our
army reached France in 1917,
and both Italy and Japan were
then fighting with the allies.
Now they are with Germany.
Suppose, for the sake Of argu-
ment, we allow that Poland, Ru'
mania, Yugoslavia and Russia
would enter the war on the side
of England and France and that
that combination would finally
defeat and destroy Germany
and Italy-well, England and
France would be destroyed, too.
Berlin and Rome might be de-
stroyed, but London and Paris
would suffer a like fate.
ENGLAND NO LONGER SAFE
England is no longer a snug,
safe little island, since the ad-
vent of the airplane! England
would be reduced to a second
grade power and Japan would
take over Hongkong, Singapore,
Australia and New Zealand.
Would that be good for the
white race? England's 'far-
flung battle line" that Kipling
speaks Of in the Recessional,
would disappear and this proph-
ecy of the Recessional come
true:
"Far-called, our pavies melt way;
On dune and headland sinks
the fire;
Lo, all our pomp Of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and

This Business of Speed

COSTS more to travel by airplane than by train.
II But the aerial traveller is willing to pay this differ
ence, because of speed.
i It takes only 80 minutes to fly from Washington to
Newark Airport and then half that much again to get
into New York, just two hours.
But if Washington's airport is situated away out in
Maryland at Camp Springs, where nobody except the
airport committee seems to it, there will be an addi
tonal threequarers of an hour tackled making total
of two and hreequarter hours to get from Washington
to New York.
Some trains now make the run between the two cities
in three and half hours and the railroads making
plans to cut this running time to three hours.
It costs approximately $5 more to fly to New York
than to travel by fast train which the passenger
can sit back at in club car, have food and
drinks served magazines supplied and take the trip
ut ease.
! Which means that the traveller who now a
plane is not going to pay the additional fare merely
to save IS minutes And the result will be that the
airlines which now give such excellent service will be
forced out of business and the progress of aviation
set back that much.

Shortly after his admission

record but its reiteration will
drive any good Catholic Irish
man into an ungovernable fury.
He maintains that Patrick for

Immediately to Ireland, landing
at Saul on Strangford Lough,
where his monument has just
been unveiled.
TAKING the record again it
u is an uncontradictable fact
that the great missionary did all
his good work in the north of
Ireland and failed to penetrate
into the new completely Catho-
lie south. And one Of the prin-
cipaI reasons given by devout
Catholic Irish for union Of all
Ireland-ProteStant north and

news dispatches on this side Of
the water it sounds silly and
childish-but you will never get
Irishmen of either side to admit
that or to try to get the mis-
chievousness Of little boys out
of their grownup systems. Both
sides admit that st. Patrick was
a great man; indeed, the great

share him.

change to green hills. And on
the lowest of them, Just above

saint. There is an impression
