The bill Senator Charles C. Lockwood and Assemblyman Abra- ham Goodman will introduce at Albany this week, which provides that public school houses in this State shall be used as civic centres where foreign-born may meet Americans and become persuaded that American citizenship is the greatest privilege in the world, represents | ® first practical step in an Americanization campaign which should | rapidly become nation-wide. | Never has the country more acutely felt the need of being ALL! American. Never has there been stronger argument for opening | every opportunity to aliens to come closer to the land they have} chosen for their home, to learn its language, understand its Govern- ment and its ideals, pledge it their loyalty and feel themselves a part of it. In a hundred ways and directions—in the crowded quarters of cities where aliens tend to keep apart and retain their alienism, in| great industrial and mining districts where foreign-born workers are | found by thousands barely able to count their pay in the money of | the country where they earn it, in manufacturing centres where | anarchy is forever busy spreading its anti-American doctrines among wage-earners—everywhere ought the forces of education and Ameri- canization to redouble their efforts. Legislators, educational experts, teachers, social workers, above all, employers, should learn how better to co-operate in putting oppor- tunity before the alien, showing him what he gains for himself and his family by pulling himself up to standards of American industry and American citizenship. Many employers have already found it pays to invest time in ciementary instruction for alien labor because the returns are better workmanship and fewer strikes. More employers will discover it. Meanwhile, in any movement for Americanizing America the place for the State of New York is in the front line. The Public School Civic Forum bill which goes before the Legislature this week is a start and an example. Senate and Assembly should pass it without a dissenting voice en SHIRKERS? ECLARING he would vote for no resolution indorsing the Pres- ident’s action in severing diplomatic relations with Germany Senator Works, Republican, of California, asked the Senate: “Why should we members of the Senate be asked to share this responsibility? The best answers came from members of the California Senator's own party: “When my country is in controversy with a foreign country,” declared Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, “party lines so far as I am concerned are removed.” He added: “Let us show the people of the United States and the world that we are without division.

No, 48.--ISABELLA OF SPAIN, the Girl Ruler. SABELLA was a demure, thin-lipped youngster, wise and pious beyond her years, and with a quiet strength of will that amazed her teachers. | Her father was John il, King of the two little Spamish | Kingdoms of Leon and Castile, At that time Spain was split up inte sev- eral independent or half-independent kingdoms, and a large part of it was occupied by infidel Moors. Isabella, thanks to that same dogged will power of hers, was one day to help in clearing Spain of the Moors and in welding the scattered little Spanish provinces into ane mighty kingdom which, for awhile, was to be master of the world. | She was to do more—again thanks to her will power and her refusal to accept public opinion as final. She was to give ear to the wild theories ‘of a Genoa mariner named Columbus, who every one else thought was By James C. Young.

McCardell Copyright 8 though across the wide wastes of interstellar space, Mr, Jarr | heard a vague voice calling to him and bidding him arise, “Angels!” he murmured subcon- sclously, but he did not rise; instead he turned over and heeded not the call of the angel or angels, but sud~- denly he felt a cosmic bump upon the ear that roused him to mundane things. Mrs. Jarr, a militant Blessed Damozel, had leaned far into the room from the hallway and had hit him with a deftly flung slipp “Get up!” she cried. t up, you lazy thing; but be careful, for I've just finished painting all around the rug while you were snoring there,” “Why do you want to start this interior decorating stunt so early in the morning and paint me in @ pris- oner?" grumbled Mr. Jarr. “I'd have done it if you'd told me “Yes, you would!” replied Mrs. Jarr lronically. “I've been asking you to paint around that rug for me for weeks. I've had a ten-cent can of paint and a ‘brush ready for you all this time, so f got up this morning and did it myself!” Mr. Jarr shivered and sensed a smell of sowpsuds and fresh paint yet to be—Mrs, Jarr was giving the first symptoms of the awakening of woman to spring cleaning. Here, s only February, the though {t wy sion 1n women were apparent! “Why didn’t you get the janitor t do it?” growled Mr. Jarr. “I'd rat pay 60 cents for these little jobs than to try to do them myself and ruin a fitty-dollar suit of clothes, maybe.” “Huh!” Mrs. Jarry retorted, “ ‘May- be’ ts the right word, You never had nit of clothes.” I've been married, 1 ." he replied, Yerhaps you think I ruined a fifty- duilav dress,” said Mrs, J “Well, all I have to say is that if you have first indications of that recurrent ob- | 1917, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) had a fifty-dollar suit of clothes since you were married, I haven't had @ fifty-dollar dress since [I've beea married.” “Well, | ‘and let run away, deare,” he said, me get dressed, so I may have breakfast and hasten to toil im fruitiess combat with the high cost of living.” Mrs. Jarr withdrew from the door- way, and Mr. Jarr noted with alarm that the bedclothes had fallen off the bed. He picked them up quickly and his alarm was justified, They had stuck to the fresh paint and the result was paint on the coverlet and lint on the paint. The terrified wretch thought firet of calling for help and confessing all, when he noticed his clothes had been draped carefully—evidently by Mra, Jarr—across the back of a chair, and | that this chair was by the closet door | Between him and his garments was & large area entirely covered with fresh paint. ‘Then he was aware of M@. Jarr's pet silk umbrella laying across the bureau near him—evidently put there to preserve it from paint. Mr. Jarr secured the umbrella and started to fish for his clothes off the chair back by its aid. He had to reach so far over that twice he nearly Jost his balance, but at the third try he hooked his trousers with the um- |brella, They promptly fell off the umbrella and into the paint. He got his waistcoat without any damage, however, that is except his “watch came out of the pocket and, dangling at the end of the chain, struck against the bed and broke the crystal, “Come on to breakfast!" cried Mra- rr from the dining room, But the tyred husband made no reply. He alked into the painted place: tired himself in his painted garments and rushed out to be benzined at the nearest tallor's. Mrs. Jarr would have had some-' thing to say to him about the way he had marred her handiwork and the bedclothes and her silk umbrella, when he ne home that evening, but she found $4.38 in bills and coins ‘stuck to the paint, and that was recompense ee ee ‘ ‘ The h og the as mor: shows the day.—d > 2 . nation to revolt against the pay- The childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day.—dohn Milton, It may be going too far to A large income is the only really ‘ : ss ment of tribute to the Dey of Algiers | = Beek. that one naturally would expe satisfactory labor waving device. ~ mri The love that will permit a man to wait twenty-! 5, “protection” to commerce, and | — — = — — shibitton of draught horses to draw | Atchison Globe.
