LONDON, April 26.-Prime Min

no developments calling for review
by the government of the existing
position" with respect to Western
Hemisphere bases leased to the
United States.
Asked for an assurance that no
move would be made to cede the
bases outright to the United States
without the consent of the British
people, Mr.. Churchill said:
There is not the slightest ques-
ton of any cession of British terri
tories-not the slightest"

Recent disorders in the Greek
Army and Navy have "now beer
almost completely cleared up" Mr.
Churchill told Commons, adding
that "it is for the Greek government
to decide what measure will be taker
against those responsible for these
deplorable incidents"
The British government is 'in full
agreement" he said, with the policy
announced by King George II OF
forming representative government
with the aim of ending political dis
unity.

e DDS and sell them in competition
with the chain and other larger
stores. Furthermore, there always
will be a large number Of people
who wish to deal with a small
reighborhood store rather than be
lost in a large department store
or bu1lied by the clerk of a chain
store.
The ''crowd' are now neglect
ing these vacant stores; but the
few wise people who are re-rent-
ing them and starting small bust
ness will some day be rewarded.
Getting Jobs
I do not criticize anyone for Civ
ing up a good peace job to go
into war work if the motive is pa
triotic. When, however, the motive
is to get more money I believe
that the person is merely follow
ing the crowd and will sooner or
later regret having made the
change. Already many of these peo-
pie are seeing their mistake and
are trying to get back to peace
jobs. Certainly, this is not a pa
triotic thing to do except with the
approval of the local U. S. Employ
ment Service.
Those who have been loyal to
their old employers and have not
followed the crowd into new Jobs
just to get more money, will soon
feel repaid for their loyalty. Hence
whether we consider real estate or
businesses or jobs, the most salts
faction in the end comes to those
who refuse to follow the crowd i.
Integrity, industry and vision pay
good dividends when we take time
to study the facts and have the
courage to act upon our decisions.

BURLINGTON HAS
POPULATION GAIN

BURLINGTON, Aug. 17-(RLThe
population of Burlington has nearly
doubled in the last four years, ad-
vancing from 1888 residents in
1910 to 1880 in 1914, Mayor E. B.
Horner said today results of a
special census taken July 10 show
ed.
The special census was authoriz-
ed by public officials after city
limits were extended last year and
incorporated.
A breakdown of the figures re-
ceived by Mayor Horner from the
bueau of census show that of the
21.830 esidents '9,410 are male, r.
420 female. There are 1928 white
persons and 1857 colored persons.
A total of 1888 dwelling units out of
5,27 are occupied.
Residents of the city now serving
in the armed forces were not in
cluded in the report.

Certainly, those who follow the
crowd" lose money in the end,
while those who do the opposite
usually make money. Further
more, those who act differently
from the crowd" perform real
service and are entitled to a good
profit for their independence and
couage. Let me this week give
three illustrations.
Those who drive about the coun-
try today must be impressed by
the number of vacant filling sta
tons. Not only are these found in
the woods, but also in the active
suburbs of our cities. I am sure
that every one of the thousand or
more communities where my col
umn is read has these vacant fill
ing stations. In most cases, the
pumps have either been removed
or boarded up. They may be clos
ed for lack of business or because
the owner has gone into the serv-
ice Or important war work.
OF course it is self-evident that
with cars on the road reduced by
millions and with the gasoline and
tire restrictions, fewer filling sta
tons can profitably exist today,
than was the case before the war.
On the other hand, it seems only
common sense that most of these
c.osed filling stations will open up
again after the war. They then
may have just as good, and per-
haps better, business. M ANY Of
tlese filling stations are for sale
at a distinct discount from their
prewar prices they appear to me
to he one of the very best bar
gains available today.
The 'crowd' are neg'ecting
them and act as if the war would
last forever, but there will be
few wise persons who will soon be-
gin to pick them up. In some
cases, the purchasers will operate
them themselves; while in others
they Will sell them at GOOD proIlt.
Vacant Store
AS I 60 about various cities I
am greatly impressed w h the
number of vacant small stores. In
some cases the proprietor has ben
drafted into the service or h S
found he could make more money
in war work. In other cases the
help problem and the difficulties
of securing merchandise have COM
PEELED the closing of t h store.
Probably 250,000 of these S
have been closed during the past
three years. In the meantime, the
total retail sales of the country
have constantly been increasing.
Most of these stores will reopen
at a profit. The proprietor of a
small story has many advantages
over the owner of a large store.
The small store proprietor usually
leases, and hsace is in position
to change his location when cicum-
stances make it desirable. He is
exempt from various labor 1estric-
lions and taxes to which the large
store is subject.
Most important, he can buy ma

CITIZENSHIP


 A farmer of my acquaintance has a knife he wouldn't sell for a ransom, although he is not wealthy. The knife is of a kind that could be manufactured in quantity to retail for less than two dollars. The farmers sol- dier son took it from a Jap in a nand-to-hand fight but wounds he himself received left the boy maimed for life. The father prizes the trophy for its cost not it's worth.
 One of the strangest quirks of human nature is the hook-up be- tween cost and value. People so often appreciate things accord ing to what they cost instead of according to what they are

as refugees. Almost everybody in Christendom is familiar with New Testament accounts of how Saul of Tarsus' life was spared more than once because he, al- though an Israelite, was born privileged citizen of Rome.
 AN EXPENSIVE MAN
 Roman citizenship in Bible times could be bought and it cost a great price. It had great value, too, but it wasn't nearly as much as our American citizenship, that costs so little. I think everybody in the United States ought to be educated for citizenship. Not many are, natives or naturalized. Not everybody needs college degree but everybody needs to appreciate his freedom.
 Americans were conscious of their citizenship for a long time back of a century ago. Govern ment held the spotlight of youths attention. In the last hundred years, however, invention has in- trigued the interest of more and more American boys. Unfortun- ately keen interest in some thing spells relative indifference to something else, and engineer ing has hid government in al- most total eclipse.
 HISTORY'S VERY HEART
 John Tyler was President a century ago. In s1844 Louisa M. Alcott was ten, enjoying the mild childhood she so beautifully pre- served in print. But wait |. the people were agog at the worlds first telegraph line one ticker in Washington, and another in Bal timore. Little boys were eagerly flattening their noses against window panes to see that new in- vention, bicycle pass by.
 These five generations of high, scientific achievement are not to be despised. In them our wage levels and national income have made America the envy of mer- cenary world. But the founda- ton for all this was laid between Washington's day and Tyler's. The science of self-government must regain it's rightful place in the field of learning if we are to hold up our living standards. Americans must better appreciate the rights and privileges of cit iZenShip.

It's like American citizenship, a thing of great value that costs too little. The fee exacted from an immigrant when he "take out his papers" is not a drop in the sea compared to what he gets Moreover, the vast majority of Americans acquired citizenship rights with their first conscious breath. We grew up with citizen ship. We have always had it and consequently don't appreciate it properly.
