this day when some one had tried
to take his life!
But those faces showed nothing,
except perhaps an earnest and dis
ciplined curiosity, and I think that
emotional observers too often read
their own hopes and fears into the
faces of German street crowds. The
Germans are sternly disciplined
nation, and so faces tell little.

In the end of the story. This fact
brought out good advertisement;
for brick manufacturers. They
follow up the experience of the
Three Little Pigs" and point OUT
how the house of brick will with.
stand the attacks of the Big Bad
Wolf" OF rain, hail, wind and
sleet. But they always use the
word HOUSE. not the word
HOME.
THERE'S p DIFFERENCE
A poet once caught the diff
ference in these words. For a
House is built of bricks and
stones -. of sills, and posts, and
piers but a Home is built of
loving deeds that stand a thou
sand years house, though
but a humble cot within it's
walls may hold becomes a
Home of priceless beauty, rich
In loves eternal gold"
OF course the Three Little
Pigs" found out that the stronger
the material the stronger
the house, just so. you young

as you gather your building ma
terial for the future, that you
Will need even a stronger ma

Concerning the arrest Of Jehovah's

appearing in the report? First, the
method followed in carrying signs adver-
Using the meeting does not constitute
a parade, for the reason that traffic is in
no wise interfered with. In marching
as they do, for. the purpose of conveying
information, these small groups walking
from Is to 20 feet apart from one another
so as not to interfere with other traffic,
does not constitute parade and Is so
recognized by police authorities in other
large cities such as New York, Los
Angeles, Baltimore and many others
where this work Is now regularly car
ried on. Second, the subject OF the lee
ture advertised was not as stated in the
report, "Fascism or Religion" but
"Fascism or Freedom" and, third, the
lecture was not at 1880 pm. but 80 pm.
Freedom; more precious today because
of its scarcity, will not be denied Je-
hoyah's Witnesses. For many years
opponents of their work have seized
upon divers petty ordinances to attempt
to stop their work of distributing litera-
ture to the people from house to house
until the Supreme Court upheld their
right 50 to do.

to be more consistent to have an "en-
tangllng," saving cooperation and in
surance with the democracies than with
the relationships, and we are already
allied with the latter in South America,
Japan, Italy and Spain. No entangling
alliances! That's good war-profiteer pol
ICY because, as in the case of Japan,
Italy, Spain, Germany etc., it would
make us the supplier of a world, every-
where made combative. Especially, no
cooperation or alliance with Britain"
Well, if we have to please such lunatics
here, like Mr.. Milquetoast let us 20 the
whole obliging, "appeasing" way and
change our laws and language, even if
we can't change our British blood and
names. And what language would these
international carpers and "unmelted
pots" have us use-theirs? It's time we
had policy suited to the preponder-
ance Of our blood and language and
acted as world-policemen of the troubled
seas, together with the sea-facing kim
dred democracies of France and Britain.
Never ally with bolshevism," we ad-
monish the British. Well, If we don't
want Britain to have that necessary bar
rier forced on her by Germany,s pestif-
erous eruptiveness, which Julius Caesar
long ago warned was her national and
racial characteristic, let us take Russia's
place and stand with Britain, as Theodore
Roosevelt once told the Kaiser we would.
We are dependent for one thing on Brit
aims world-girdling line Of ports. Thank
Providence that she went far afield early
to prepare place for us! Always the
Germans cry: You stole from the In
dians, so give 1t to U.s." But why should
we make these sweet and innocent Ger
mans equally guilty with us?

Mr.. Kress' Gift

When Andrew w. Mellon .irst
visioned the beautiful gallery which
is to shelter his collection of art, he
hoped that his philanthropy might
inspire other connoisseurs to make
similar gifts to their country, and
his expectation already has been
realized in large part by the an
nouncement today that Samuel H.
Kress, like the late Secretary of the
Treasury, native of Pennsylvania,
has given his magnificent Italian
pictures and statuary to the Nations
Capital
The average citizen perhaps can
not appreciate as yet the signifi-
canoe of such a benefaction, but
when the Mellon Gallery is opened
for public inspection a year hence
there will be little need for explana-
ton of its meaning. Washington
then will be recognized as one of the
three or four great art centers of the
world. The largest building of it's
kind in existence will house the rich
est showing of the fruits of artistic
genius anywhere available in the
Western Hemisphere. It's treasures
will be living influences in the ex-
perience of successive generations.
They will testify for the essential
nobility of the human soul in it's
upward progress toward an ultimate
civilization beyond the power of any
save inspired poets to imagine.
Mr.. Kress has associated himself
with the fulfillment of a majestic
dream. The money value of his
generosity has been estimated at
thirty million dollars, but that ap-
praisal obviously is inadequate. He
invested in his collection not merely
his wealth. 1t happens that he is
a bachelor and that his pictures and
statuary have been, in a certain
sense, his children. He has loved
them and now, giving them to the
people of the United States, he has
sacrificed something of his heart for
spiritual heirs still to be born,
Washington, of course, is increas-
ingly proud to be the city chosen for
these endoWments. Every American
is at home here. The future, not too
distant, will prove the wisdom of
what Mr.. Mellon and Mr.. Kress have
done to make the Capital addition
ally important to the entire Nation
and to all its population.

radius Of action of which the dem
ocratic press apparently has no
idea?"
Ever since the democratic cave-ir
at Munich, one has heard necessarily
how Goering's bombing fleet holds
London and Paris in merciless sub
lection by the mere threat of "blitz-
krieg" lightning war; in the air.
Well, when King Georges bombers
hoped to the continent this week
in squadron formation, they showed
that "blitzkrieg" is game at which
two can play, and that there is no
intention in either London or Paris
to let the Nazis play it alone.

Comic Supplement

An archeologist, delving into the
ruins of ancient Armageddon, came
across clay tablets or bricks depict
ing what he describes as the first
domestic defense weapon. It was a
sort of streamlined rolling pin,
turned out by munitions factory in
1900 BIC. for use in domestic war
fare, and approved by the League OF
Housewives as a humane weapon for
temporarily disabling husband
without destroying his earning
power, which would be needed later
during the reconstruction period
after he realized that he had lost
the war. The Importance of the find
can hardly be over-estimated; with
out doubt it was the first comic page
Of history
One can picture the scene. The
editor Of the Armageddon Argus had
just been told by the King, the orig
inal indignant subscriber, to put
more pep into his publication, under
penalty of losing his circulation by a
bow string around his neck. The
Argus, said his majesty, was trifle
heavy. There was considerable truth
in this statement, as it was published
in a brick yard and delivered in Sec
tions by twenty mule teams. The
worried editor, strolling out to the
composing room, noticed ten bricks
locked up in form, destined for
the first page Of the supplement-
Idly he picked up a chisel and etched
common domestic scene of the
era-a defense weapon descending
upon the head Of the household.
Critically he gazed at it. It pleased
him, but an indefinable something
was lacking. Suddenly a binding
flash of inspiration came to him. He
chiseled in balloon, inserted the
magic word POW, and added a few
stars. Reverently he gazed at his
handiwork, then knocked three days
of the deadline and went to press
Immediately with a royal extra. It
Is pleasant to note that his genius
was recognized, and that he received
the award for the most outstanding
achievement Of journalism for the
year 1900 B.C.-or possibly any other
year.
