And this grouchy daddy, this gruff iness| g man, this “mean old thing,” this unapproachable| husband, sat there with real tears running down his cheeks. The picture folks of the screen had dared to reach the spot where humans feared to tread. | Which only goes to show us that God really | did give everybody a heart. | It is only a question of finding the right way to creep into it and nestle snugly down in mutual | happiness. i AN ACE, AMONG HEROES Before all the heroes of the war, decorated or! undecorated heroes, we first bow before Corporal HaroldsWs:Roberts; late. of Sam-Francisco. » Rob- erts, ina charge on the Germans, was driving 2} tank which slid into a water-filled shell hole. But one of the two-man crew could escape. Roberts pushed his companion out to safety, saying, “Well, only one of us can get out, and out you go!” Rob- erts remained to die. This man was not a war hero only. It is even possible that he did not even feel that he was sacrificing for his country or its great cause. It would make no difference to cause of ally or Hun which of the two drowned in that tank like a rat. To Roberts, it meant simply a choice between his life and that of his poor companion and he said to the latter, in effect: “Go back into the beautiful world, to mother, friends, wife or sweetheart, to honor and life as a soldier of the great cause, to all the joys and opportunities of the future. I will choose death, for your sake.” “Greater love hath no man.” How could mortal hands decorate so grand a soul! But, we dove best what this hero actually did say in choosing to die for his friend. “Only one of us can get out, and out you go!”| It is a great heart scoffing at death’s terrors. It is manliness and nobility, unadorned, expressing themselves. It:is the plain declaration of a great| personality. It is a spiritual being giving the lie to nature’s vaunted first law, self-preservation. It is fruition of the seed placed in the heart of the super-great by the life and words of Jesus Christ. Ye gods! if of such stuff our corporals were made; the wisest man in all this war affair is that same kaiser who left for safe quarters when our LOGA: SPAYNE COMPANY. that he had but one life to give to his country They will not mention this California hero who} had but one life and gave that to a mere companion! ‘and dres choys approached! .

HOBBLING THE HOBBLESS Many a cry was cried and many a sigh sighed in those days of old when a civilized community was told about the awful ways Chinese had of | binding the feet of ladies and girls, the good and the bad. Ah, then we were sad as we contemplated this] fad of the “heathen Chinese” and we worked and| we prayed.and some of us paid of our dollars and mes in those migsionary times to spt the Orien- tal tootsie’ free.

Papeete island {of Fahiti, brings the informa’ tion bright and cheery that the Chi- nese ladies, once so. leary of western styles, now are falling for the skirt tight and long, and are going to high heels fast and strong.) Read for yourself : “Chinese women of Papeete have with one accord discarded their national dress of oilcloth pantaloons and tunic and adopt- ed the American dress of the Tahitian belles of the town, including high heeled shoes. The result has been the infliction of much torture, which the women are endur- ing with the greatest fortitude.” And now they’re hobbling again. Are you an American or a Russian? Real Americans stand fer Americanism and no other ism on earth! The only obstacle in the way of everlasting] | | peace is human nature. When the ladies get. the vote, no one of them will ever get too old to pay poll tax. In a land where all classes get a square deal the Bolshevist hath no place to put his foot. The supreme court for the interpretation of moot questions of international law is the cannon. \ Every effort to slice off a piece of Germany wrecks itself against that doctrine of self-deter- mination.

Another boy was givep three jmonths in the guard house for being absent four months without leave. come time later this same boy was. given five years at Ft. Leavenworth military prison by another court mar- tial for being absent 60 days without |leave. A sergeant was brought before a charged with being drunk. Two officers swore that he was not drunk because they had seen him and talked with him during the time another officer charged him with being drunk, yet he was convictel and ‘given three months. The chief evidence against him was that nine months previous he had been convict- ed for being drunk. Another boy is now serving five $|years in prison for having brought a bottle of whiskey into an army reser- vation. Anotner boy. is serving two years in prison charged with having driven an. army truck outside a reservation at a time prohibited by army orders. Officer Lied on Stand, Another Tells Lyon. The officer who told me’ about this case was one of the witnésses for the accused boy. He said to me: “Front my Own personal knowledge I know thatthe officer who brought the charges against this boy lied on the witness stand. He saw his case falling through and he lied to keep the boy from being acquitted.” A boy went to his own post exchange and bought a pair of wrapped leg- gings which were openly offered for sale and which were worn by the boys in many nearby organizations. Hi idea was to look as neat as possible. He was arrested by the military police of his own organization, thrown into the guard house and later brought. be- fore a court martial. We was fined two-thirds of one month's pay. The offense charged was wearing other than a regulation uniform, although the wrapped leggings were sold with the ‘consent of the post authorities. “For refusing to do menial labor in a! hokpit on orders from his captain ‘a! hoy’ Wiis “given! 26--years “in’ Fort.
