Life's Problems Are Discussed i ,* By Mrs. Wilson Woodrow If anyone would have told ua three years ago that patriotism would again become a national aentlment, an individual creed, instead of being the sole monopoly of George Cohan, we would probably have replied with an expressive "Fiddlesticks!" or whatever was its slang synonym of the moment. Would anyone have believed three years, ago that the old-sound ing periods of the Fourth of July orator, to which we used to listen if not exactly with tongues in cheek still with a slightly amused tolerance, could once more stir us to mad en thusiasm; that the first strains of the Star Spangled Banner would bring us all to our feet and proud to bo there; that every sight of the passing colors bring a lump to our throats and tears to our eyes? Three years ago, 'in the pre war period, we congratulated our selves on being civilized. And be ing civjlized meant to us to regard the primitive emotions with a super ciious detachment. The importance of being earnest weighed as nothing with the importance of appearing frivolous. Big enthusiasms, big pas sions. a big devotion to any ideal was distinctly bad form. It savored of melodrama; and melodrama ap pealed to the c|iild mind, not to the sophisticated intellect. Three years ago, if anyone had asked us, "Are you a good Ameri can?" the chances are that we would have answered a little hesitatingly, /£s, the day we expect # boys' suits % I ~ss to sls J Wm.

It semed a bit crude and row and Elijah Pogram-ish to go around pro claiming one's self a good "Apiurri can." In the pre-war days one ! would rather have died than be provincei. But ask us that question now! Wo fling our answer against the stars. We know in every beat of our hearts, in every drop of blood in our veins:, that we are good Americans. We hava always been sensitive people. We took deeply to heart the criticism and ridicule of older na tions. We had a lurking suspicion that we were regarded on the other side as a sort of "comedy relief." But we aren't a joke to Europe nowadays. She asks no sweeter music than our "nasal twang" echo ing over her warswept fields. No, we are anything but a joke to Eng land; anything but a joke to bleeding weary France, that Star in the Night; hardly a joke to Belgium blessing us with V>allid, painracked lips as her good Samaritan; no joke to stumbl ing, swaying Russia, to Italy, to Ser bia, Rumania and Portugal. Least of all, although she tries to make it appear so, are we a joke to Germany? The Teutonic mind is essentially trtfty; and the imperial government wouTd not waste such i wealth of hate as it is striving to stir up against us on an enemy that it despised. The lank figure of Uncle Sam in his grotesque habiliments and with his wagging goatee is no longer a comic supplement character, but to the German a mrtiacing spirit of vengeance, and to the allies an angel of rescue. It is like seeing Happy Hooligan transformed into the Archangel Michael. To us the whole world is looking for relief to our manhood, to our dollars, to our material resources, to our energy and inventiveness, and, above all, to our ideals. I)o you realize what that last means? That we will win this war and dictate the policy of the future on the most intangible and transcendental basis that the mind of man can conceive— an ideal of true human relations. Hungry and harried Europe, the hordes of Asia, the Latin nations of our southern hemisphere, Cairo and the Cape, even Germany sul lenly cursing us between her teeth, they all expect us to solve the prob lem, and to solve it for the better ment and advancement of mankind. HAJFtRISBURG TELEGRAPH! •All's Well That M Ends Well M BY JANE MeIiEAN. "Oh, don't mind what 1 say; I got to bed at three o'clock this morning, and I'm dead." The speaker smiled in a distractingly pretty way, a way that had never failed to charm the lucky person upon whom It was be stowed. If the person in question had been any one of a number of girl friends, she might have smiled back and said something Jight. But tills person was not one of Nellie's intimates, neither did she think it at all neces sary to let an impertinent remark slip by without comment, so she said dryly: , "My dear, what makes you allow yourself to speak that way? Do you {{now that It absolutely changes you, and that nine-tenths of your pecu liar charm lies in your expression?" Nellie stared. She was not accus tomed to being corrected by anyone. Possessed of a weak mother and an adoring father —one deploring the fact that her children had always run over her, while the other was sure that no matter what either of the boys did. Nelle could do no harm—the girl had never known what It was to receive adverse criti cism. "I mean that," went on the speaker. "Yes, I see that you do," said the girl, recovering her quick manner of speaking. "Did you really think it would worry me?" "It ought to. It's going to do you plenty of harm." Decided to Bluff Nelle laughed, and apologized. She was not to be taken In by any thing of the kind, even while she hesitated about being rude to a wom an older than herself. "You may laugh, but If you stop to think,"you'll see that I'm right. Didn't you go to a dance with a man you like pretty well two ntghts ago?" Nelle "What difference' does that make?" "You'll admit that you do like him rather well, and that you'd like him to think well of you." Nelle's manner changed to a dan gerously sweet attitude of confi dence. "I do like him," she said softly, and then burst into another peal of laughter at the sudden seri ous face of her caller. Her next re mark was couched in the light man ner of speaking that she affected. But the woman was not stupid and she decided to try bluffing. "Oh, I know you like him," she said, archly, teasingly, "but the ques tion is, how many girls is he trying out? I know how you all preen your feathers when he is around, and I happen to know, too, Nelle Olyn, that although you are the prettiest and most charming girl In your set, that little Esther Croft Is far sweeter. Your disposition Is so bad lately that you are getting peevish lines around your mouth." Nelle seized a mirror and exam ined the soft mouth reflected In its glistening surface. "I don't see anything," she said, putting the mirror down. "But what is this about Esther Croft? You don't mean to say that John Man ning likes little Essie?"

Why, he is dancing at tendance on her, if gossip has it right." "Oh, I don't believe that. Why, Essie Croft would never in all this world appeal to a man like John Manning." Sets Nelle Thinking. "That's what all you girls think. But Essie has that soft sweetness that men like, and you are awfully self-willed, Nelle. You give way to yourself dreadfully of late." If Nelle had looked full at Mrs. Stuart at that moment she would have seen the lines of fun about that woman's firm lips, but Nelle was really thinking. Could it really be true that little Essie Croft was mak ing any kind of headway with John Manning? Nellie thought back a few days and tried to view her own attitude dispassionately. Yes, there had been that morning at the tennis court when she had become excited over the game. She had been sorry after- Daily Dot Puzzle is • © 2o ' * 21 22 • • • '7 25 2 24* ?•' '• 6 2 . 5 >•> • f & 4fi .23 • 9 14 • 10 12 ? 51 'so • ia# *1 • S3 ' . it 3*. .35 43.

And then two nights ago, she had lost her temper suddenly and had not troubled to disguise the fact. John Manning haH been present then. It was true that Esther.Croft had< the evenest of temperaments, and the sweetest of ways. Was It possi ble that she had decided to attract John Manning—the man Nelle liked better than any- one she had ever met? "I'm going to run along now," Mrs. Stuart said after a moment. "Think over what I have told you, dear. Of course, you can cut Esther out if want to. Remember that a man likes a sweet tempered woman." "If sweetness is what he wants, I can be sweet," Nelle said to herself, regarding her charming face in her mirror as the door closed. "And I know I've been letting myself go dreadfully of late." "I think I did that pretty well," said Mrs. Stuart, as she hurried down the dark street. "Of course, John Manning would n.eVer look at Essie Croft, and besides the child is head over heels in love with that nice Barker boy. But it won't do Nelle any harm to curb that spoiled man ner of hers. I wonder if I really did give her a scare!" BIBLE CLASS TO MEET Shiremanstown, Pa..
