This pageant is to be reproduced once each ten years. The “odd-year” periods are less conspicuously observed, but all over Eastern Massachusetts this day is a holiday, held sacred to the memory of t™ heroic farmers who fought, and of whom many Valley towns and cities through which at midnight Revere rode on his fiery steed, “a shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the dark,” in the Revolution- aty days of long ago. The children of today get as much of a thrill as their elders when Revere. goes clattering through madly shouting, “To arms! To arms! The British are coming!” Recent history revealed another rider that epoch-making night—William Dawes, who was seht back through Roxbury to warn Concord and Lexington in case Revere might fall into a British trap. Dawes’ ride is also, portrayed each Patriots Day now, and the horsemen meet in Arlington and sweep north to Lexington and Concord in noisy comradeship. ‘ \. The riders leave at noon instead of midnight; they print the memories of the thrilling date morc. indelibly in the mind of every one.« Motion pic- ture cameras whirr, still cameras snap, there are hews writers in every city and town on the Middle- sex Valley road, and many columns are printed of this tingling hour when Revere and Dawes in buff and blue hurry once again along history’s ancient highway.

There is room yet for all of our people, though from now on we should not think so much of quan- tity as quality. WHY THE PRESS IS SOMETIMES “DISHONEST” (From the Boston Transcript) In justice to the accuracy of our news staff we feel it incumbent to state the circumstances of our wholly erroneous report yesterday that young Mr. Robinson, the student missing from Harvard University, had returned to Cambridge and was in his usual haunts. This statement was the result of direct communication with his roommates at Har- vard, further confirmed by telephone from the house where his mother was stopping in Boston. ‘The report was an accurate transcription of what was told the Transcript’s representatives and ap- parently the representatives of other papers. The alleged fact that Robinson's mother had left town sctisfied as to the whereabouts of her son was considered sufficient warrmnt not to pursue the matter further. With full appreciation of ‘the posi- tion of those who would spare the parents pain and avoid “publicity,” we do not think either of | tion of West Medford, thence over the river to Aflington, and on eight miles to Lexington and Concord just beyond. “ 5 Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, military organiza- tions of all types line the way, a tremendous out- pouring of children walled in by their eager elders; bugles blowing, bands playing, flags waving every- where.

There has also come to America, at the same | t time, a’ Russian noblewoman of ancient lineage, bearing a painting which she declares is the work, of Leonardo da Vinci, the great Italian artist, who was a genius as supreme as Shakespeare and more varied in his gifts. This canvas, she believes, was painted from the same model who sat for the price- less Mona Lisa, most famous portrait in the world. Tt has been in her family, she says, for several centuries. Thousands of Americans would give a fortune for any relic of Shakespeare or an work of Leon- ardo proved genuine.
