5, DAVIS NEARING “HER 89TH BIRTHDAY *Enjos Good Health and Koeps Abreast of Times Hopeful that the life of content- ment and happiness which she has enjoyed as a native and lifelong resident of this city, will continue, Mrs Adaline S. Davis, is preparing to observe her 89th birthday anni- versary tomorrow. Mrs. Davis leads a rather active life despite her advanced age and goes automobile riding with her daughter, Mrs. Edward F. Hall and her son-in-law, State Finance Com- missioner Edward F. Hall, several times every week. She makes her home with them at 23 Parkmore street. Occasionally Mrs. Davis makes trips uptown to transact bus- iness. Another anniversary Mrs Davis expects to observe within the near future is her 55th year as a member of the First Baptist church which organization she joined in 1873 when there was but few churches in the | city. She was born July 22, 1838, the daughter of Mr. and Mis. Davis Steele. At that time the city was nothing more than a village and farming was the principal industry. Her father's farm covered the terri WORLD WAR SHAFT CORNERSTONE LAID (Contined from First Page) Dr. Davis' Address Rev. Dr. Davis spoke as follows: “Before speaking on the subject of [ *Patriotism for a World in Recon- struction,’ I must crave the privilege |of expressing my personal joy and | satisfaction in the fact that the place | which I always called my Mount of | Vision is now to be fittingly crowned by what I believe will be one of the noblest and most enduring civie monuments in the United States.

She attended the old Osgood Hill school. Mrs. Davis remembers Elihu Bur- ritt, “The Apostle of Peace” and New Britain’s intcrnational celebrity. The only time she ever recalls actu- ally seeing him was in Dickinson's Drug store when both were making purchases. Her parents knew him well and often spoke of him. Besides being First Baptist church she is affiliated with the Pythian Ssters and of the Spansh War eterans Auxiliary She has the following son tor Davis, a New Britain fire de- partment captain, and Francis Davis; three daughter, Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Minnfe Martin of Plainville and Mrs. Charles May of this city. A son, Samuel C. Davis, was killed in the Spanish-American war ARCHDUKE LEOPOLD NOW WORKS AS MOVIE EXTRA An Money, Finds It Neces- Austrian, Having Spent His sary to Go to Work. Los Angeles, July 21 (UP) Archduke Leopold of Austria, who spent all his money shortly after his arrival in this country for a tour, now is a full fledged motion picture extra. The Austrian nobleman went to work before a camera here yvester- day, reinforced by his secretary, to carn enough to return to Europe where he hopes to avenge the “in- sult” which he insists Count Laszlo Szechenyi, Austrian minister to the ited States, flung at him recenty when His Royal Highness asked the envoy to handle a loan for him. Count Szenchenyi now is in Europe. The archduke wants to follow him to fight the duel. Beginning his day at 8 o'clock in the morning the noble actor re- hearsed and toiled and perspired before the camera all day. His sec- retary mopped the royal brow aft- er each camera shot. Since the bit played by the arch- duke, that of a German army cap- tain, called for a crop of hair, and the archduke, although young, is approaching baldness, a toupe was pasted on his head. One difficluty arose. The archduke was required to salute a general. Leopold could not register the correct salute. “Excuse, please,” he apologized. “I have never salute. In my coun- try everybody they salute me, but 1 do not salute.” The usual rate of customs duty on‘ United jewelry brought into States is 80 per cent. the REV. DR. OZORA S.

Concerning this I wish to speak now. Patriotism is native to our human nature. Love of the community is as tial and in- stinctive as love of self and love of kindred. The patria is the whole community, defined as the little neighborhood or the grouping of the nations and races This patria each man and woman must love and serve with devotion and joy. The man without a country is of all men most miserable. “‘Breathes there a soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, man with This is my own, my native land?’ |Universe.

How is a citizen to be convinced concerninsg ithe right and courageous in pursu- ling it, knowing that other citizens |will also have their opinions and policies which may contradict his, and yet be tolerant and generous? {This is one of the central problems |in a democracy and one that we imust face with clear minds and |clean hearts. This clash of conflict- {ing opinion, this honest difference lin program, is the very glory of a {democracy. It means that patriotic i policies have not been imposed from |without but emerge from within ithe body politic through the pain of conflict and the stress of crea- \tive struggle. Or, to change the fig- lure, differing political ideas and | programs are the anvil and ham- {mer between which are shaped in {the white heat of conflict the hull actical situation it is the {problem of every citizen to learn {the rare secret of combining loyalty [to his own sense of truth with re- {spect and honor for the opinions jand policies of those who with !equal honesty disagree with him.

In the samé way |1 have the right to ask you to treat me; and out of this process emerges {the final political and patrioti {idealism of a democracy. “Patriotism must be patient.

But there is another con- ception of the family which, loving wife and son and daughter-in-law to the full, still thinks of the family in relation to all the other families of the community. This is the true ideal of family loyalty; and by it ‘us four' come to the fullest and noblest definition of their charac- ter and purpose. In the same way there is a small and narrow con- ception of patriotism, which says ‘America for the Americans’ in- stead of ‘America for the world. Now America cannot be what it should be for all the world until America is first of all what it should be for itself. America can- not serve the world best except by | becoming the best possible America. Patriotism begins at home, but it and must not end there. China and India and Turkey ani Russia are bound into the bundie of national life with us. We must be great and free and good, not for ourselves, but for the universal brotherhood of mankind.” Address by Mayor Weld Mayor Weld spoke as follows: “Once again we are privileged to meet in solemn commemoration of the deeds of the past, and as we pause and look about us—to the South—to the East and to the West we see the homes from which the sons of New Britain for the honor of their country.

In thesc |respects at least patriotism for the new day must be defined. “Patriotism must be intclligent.

No one in the senate will question Senator Walsh's sincerity as a real dyed-in-the-wool uncom- promising democrat and one who has most industrious in trying to create or discover issues upon which his party might ride to victory. L “His kind advice that President Coolidge should refuse renomination appeals to me as clear ndication that the Montana senator recognizes his strength. If the senate should, as he infers, adopt a resolution op- posing the president’s renomination. it would be the most certain way to ossure his selection. “The American people are not too | fond of the senate, any way, and any int!empl at dictation in a matter of this kind would be so resented as to | make the president’s renomination |and re-election inexitable.” | Released in Hyde Park, London, a toy balloon came down at St. Paul's Cathedral, London, 117 adys | later.
