when they could so easily have come to terms about their re- psective spheres of influence - Germany being allowed to dom- mate the European continent while England took care of her maritime empire? I do not know the answer. I can only state the facts and observe the results and those were exactly the same in the fifth century B. c. as they seem to be in the twentieth century A. D.
 Ever since the beginning o1 time, there had been two conflict ing theories of life and they hae dominated the whole of Greek history. Sparta had always rep. resented the interests of the land ed gentry (of the Junkers, as w used to call them in Germany whereas Athens had stood for tht ideal of a state based upon over sea commerce.
 Once more we see how little our world changes in its true es- sentials.
 For always we seem to have hae those two conflicting philosophie' of life with us - the man of tht soil against the man of the sea-

THE STORY OF DEMOCRACY
Democratic Government In Ancient Athens
 Suffered From Its Own Weaknesses, Too

 Pericles did not overstate his case when he pronounced his famous funeral oration and summed up the glories of that Athenian Democracy which could indeed stand as an example to all the other nations of Greece. For no other city had ever reached such pinnacle of glory.
 But by what name was Athens known to the rest of Greece? It was decried as the 'tyrant city" Its government was denounced as an ambitious imperial organiza- tion which existed only to plum der its so-called allies for the pur- pose of erecting those magnificent public buildings in the town of Athens, which were of no benefit to any one except the Athenians themselves, and to maintain those universities (for every famous philosopher was really one-man academy of learning) which only upset the simple faith of the an- cestors and filled the minds of the youngsters with those dangerous radical and modern ideas which in the end must destroy the ideals of Greek civilization as they had been handed down from the an- cestors.
 Were these accusations true or were they false?
 Partly they were true. Athens had dealt in a very high-handed manner with her less capable neighbors, towards whom Pericles undoubtedly felt as Hitler felt to- wards his easy-going and inconl- petent fellow citizens of Austria.
 But on the other side of the pie ture, there were the positive achievements of this brilliant De- mocracy which almost overnight had opened up new visions of progress, of which the world un- til then had never dared to dream. Why could not the jealous neigh bors overlook a few shortcomings for the sake of their common goal
 Why i'm our own day and age
 could England and Germany
 not live in peace and harmony

Good evening.

The first St. Patricks Day parade !. Contrary to popular belief St. Patrick Day parades n America are not of Irish origin nor did they begin in honor of St. Patrick According information discovered by research workers of the New York City WPA Writers Project the first Patricks Day parade by the 1rish held In New York City in 1776 very much against thelr VIII largely perhaps because the event was the bran-chd of Lord Rawdon one of the commanders of the British military force then operating against the Revolutionary American troops in New York City. Presumably to impress the Americans with the might ot the Brltlsn Empire, Lord Rawdon assembled five hundred oraWny rishmen who had drafted into the British Army by the press gangs Ireland He dressed this small reg- ment in brilliant British uniforms and then paraded them through the city, After the parade the energetic Lord Rawdon gave each parader pound sterling to to spend in celebrating St. Patrcks Day to drink 10 the memory of the good saint and to the health Of HIS Majesty King George the Third The taverns were soon iamed to the doors with thirsty Irishmen and their tongues broadcast the of Lord Rawdons compul- sorry parade Whereupon good Irish czen oy the name of Hercules Mulligan local Woolen merchant and an undercover member of General Washingtons lntelll. gence sta went to work these Irish conscrpts of his Irish-A American friends, Mullgan talked to the soldiers with such winning effect that more than four hundred of them crossed the East River and joined the patriot army then occupying Brooklyn.
