HERE {s another phase of this thing of suggestion. It seems that probably, so far as Seattle was concerned, the end of the world might arrive, if the en- tire city felt that way about it for afew weeks.

Another phase of this can be seen if you will note the Second and Third avenue store windows any day now The windows are crammed with fragile, light-colored, —_ weirdly shaped shoes; with near-leather coats that resemble ollcloth as to bJooks and sealskin as to price; with wildly hued and riotous suits; with men’s suits cut on the lines that put the waist up under the arm. pits, with slant pockets, rows of big buttons—all the sissified slan ders an effete Hast can devise And yet sensible woren and con- gervative business men will get in- to the outfits and feel all dressed up, because everybody ts doing it.

It welcomes them as representatives of the most powerful potential force for Americanism in the country today, and it honors them as the spokesmen of men who have proved their patriotism in the fire of service. The Northwest needs the American Legion, needs the men who are translating into normal civilian life the lessons of courage and fighting } Americanisn’ that they learned in trench and camp. It needs their clear-eyed conviction, their war-taught 1 ability to translate theory into action, their démon- strated patriotism. The war associations of the nation have always been the shock troops of Americanism. , The grand old G. A, R., the Spanish War veterans, the Phil- ippine campaigners, have been made up of Americans of the unrelenting, fighting type, the type that knows no compromise with treason, Now the American Legion, a million strong, is marching up to replace the veterans of other wars in the battles of peace. An army of fighting men, the American Legion, is rightly regarded by the citi- zens of the United States‘as the front line troops of democracy. The nation welcomes the American Legion.
