Flanagan: "In innumerahle ways the
value Of your work has been DEM
onstrated, but In no re-
spect more than In the splendid
contribution being made by former
young citizens of Boys Town now
serving valiantly in the country's
armed forces"
Ask Father Flanagan whether his
boys know what they are fighting
for and he will say:
Their training at Boys Town
taught them the true meaning OF
democracy. Having lived at Boys
Town in a miniature democracy,
they knew what they were fighting
for and they viii fight on for VIC
tory and peace. ."
Highly Priced Letters. =
Evidence for what Father Flana-
gan says Is found In many highly

500 From Boys Town
In Military Service;
Il Killed in Action
BY the Associated Press.

BOYS TOWN, Nebr., July "a
The unwavering confidence of Msgr.
Edward Joseph Flanagan that
there is no such thing as bad boy
Is finding new expression in the
military record Of his former citi-
zens Of Boys Town.
In the 26 years since he oeterm-
ined to take in homeless, abandoned
and orphaned boys and work night
and day to build good, solid, healthy
American citizens" 5000 boys have
come under Father Flanagan's guild
ance. OF these:
More than 900 are serving in the
armed forces of the United States;
more than 100 are on active fighting
fronts; 81 have been reported killed
IN action; 3 are prisoners of war.
Praised by Roosevelt.
One has been awarded posthum-
ously the Distinguished Service
Cross; three have won the Silver
Star Medal for gallantry; several
wear the Purple Heart or have won
other medals or concentrations.
These are the boys of whom Pres
ident Roosevelt wrote to Father

When should q woman
get d loan?

THERE are some money problems
l. loan can't solve. So before YOU
borrow be sure that loan is the one
best way out of your difficulty. If
you do get loan, borrow only as
much as you really need and plan to
pay it back promptly to reduce the
cost. This is certainly one time not to
be in debt if you can avoid it.
Borrow without endorsers
Household Finance makes essential
loans-on salary, car or furniture-to
men and women with jobs. You may
borrow $50 to $500 quickly, privately
and without endorsers-and repay in
monthly instalments on the schedule

choose their way Of living, free to
come and 90. The freedom that is
the backbone Of your home"
A ranking name on the roster Of
Boys Town war heroes is Wesley
Burton Haggard, who left the home
in 1887. Haggard, a pharmacists
mate first class In the Navy, was
cited for gallantry on Guadalcanal
and has received the Silver Star
award.
Must Provide Jobs.
After the war Father Flanagan
says:
1--WE must do everything in our
power to preserve democracy and
the American way of life = :.
Our boys must come home to
the jobs they left behind. Many
of them will need occupational ed
ucation, and 1t Is up to us to SCI
that this is available to them. This

BY THE HASKIN SERVICE.
@. Does a soldier have to be 10
years Of age before he can be sent
overseas?-F. r. E.
A. The War Department says
that physical ability is the sole cri-
terion for assignment of soldiers to
overseas duty. Therefore, a soldier
does not have to be 10 years of age
before he can be sent overseas. 1t.
Gen. McNarney, deputy chief of
staff, recently stated that this ap-
plies to artillery units and service
units. In the Army ground forces
the rule is that no young man under
10 assigned to the infantry will be
sent overseas.
Q. How many radio stations has
the United States?-M. L.
A. At the beginning of 1914 there
were 912 radio stations, standard
broadcast.
@. How does the stone money
used on the island of Yap get its
value?-K. N.
A. The rock from which the
money is made is not native to the
island, but the huge masses are
transported hundreds OF miles on
f1imsy canoes. The rock, therefore,
is considered valuable by the ma
tives.
@. Why is a detective often re-
ferred to as "hawkshaw"?-M. T.
A. HaWkshaw was the name of
the detective in Tom Taylor's play
The Tcket-of Man" pro-
duced in 1853. The word has since
come to mean any detective.
@. Who executed the sculptured
figure of the Lion of Lucerne?-
c. B. A.
A. The Lion of Lucerne was
copied from model by Bertel Thor
waldsen, the famous Danish sculp-
tor. The Swiss artist was named
Ahorn. He chiseled the sleeping lion
out of solid rock as memorial to
the Swiss guards who died in he
roic defense OF the Tuileries.
| @. What treaty was referred to
as the only one never sworn to and
never broken?-J. E.
A. Voltaire made this remark in
reference to William Penn's treaty
with the Indians.
@. How much has the war cost?-
G. l.. P.
A. Experts estimate that by the
end of 1914 the war will have cost
the belligerent countries 900 billion
dollars.
@. Were there many Loyalists in
the American colonies at the time of
the Revolution?-J. NICK.
A. John Adams said that at least
one-third of the population did not
want independence and another
third did not care one way or an
other.
@. What is the significance of the
letters o. N. T. on spools of thread?
IN. w. r.
A. After the invention of the
sewing machine a special thread
was necessary for it's use. George
A. Clark made a six-cord thread
which was softer than the thread
used previously for hand sewing.
He called it Our New Thread"
The name was shortened to O. N. T.
