Erect Shrine to Honor
America at Versailles
Stairs to Have Steps Marked
for Every State.
Paris, France. ? On the occasion
of the mass pilgrimage of thousands
of World war veterans of the Amer
ican Legion of France this summer
for the dedication of the battle mon
uments, a new shrine will be dedi
cated at Versailles to honor Franco
American co-operation in building
world democracy.
The site was chosen because of
its important historic significance
in Franco-American collaboration.
It was there that Benjamin Frank
lin pleaded for open support by
France to the struggling colonies in
the American war of independence.
It was at Versailles that support
and recognition were granted to the
new - born American republic and
war declared against Great Britain
to help Americans carry their
movement to victory. And it was
here that the Versailles treaty set
tled the terms of peace when Ameri
ca had come to the aid of the allies.
Marble Stairs Designed.
Simple but imposing in design,
the monument will become a future
focal point of Franco-American re
BARTELL AND SON
Dick Bartell, star infielder of the
New York Giants is bending the
twig in the way he wants the tree
to grow. He is shown with his five
year-old son, Skippy, at the Giants
training camp. The youngster rare
ly misses a Giant practice.
lations. It will consist of a mount
ing tier of stairs of the same huge
width as those at the Palace of
Versailles, flanked by forty - eight
blocks of marble down which a
cascade will flow constantly. Each
marble block will represent a state
of the Union, whose name will be
carved upon it. Fountains will play
at the foot and the summit of the
long staircase. At the top a statue
of Gen. Pershing seated on horse
back will face toward Paris and
the World war battlefields to the
north. A large park will be located
behind the statue, part of which
will be used as a playing field for
the children of Versailles.
At the foot of the stairs, at the
jUnction of the Avenue de Ver
gennes ? the foreign minister during
the American Revolution who was
responsible for the decision to give
material aid to the new republic ?
and the Rue de Benjamin Franklin,
a big place will be formed. It will
be named the Rond-Point des
Estats-Unis. Across the square and
facing the stairway will be the sta
tue of Lafayette, which will be trans
ferred from its hidden stand in
Paris and incorporated in the new
monumental scheme.
Pershing Aid Active.
The movement for the construc
tion of the monument was started
by the mayor of Versailles, Henry
Haye. Haye is also a French sen
ator and was the first officer at
tached to Gen. Pershing's staff dur
ing the war. He formed part of
the military mission to the United
States after the declaration of war.
Money will be raised throughout
France in the form of a celebra
tion of America's national holiday,
July 4. On that day street collec
tions and demonstrations will take
place in every town and village and
the money will be utilized to com
plete the contributions of individ
uals, the town of Versailles and
other French groups.
Tdhs of Dog License Tags
Used in New York State
Albany, N. Y. ? Four tons of dog
licenses and tags are being distrib
uted among the city, town and coun
ty clerks of New York state by the
state dog licensing bureau.
Besides tabbing every dog in the
state, the bureau also serves as a
"missing person" bureau for dog
dom.
Its success in restoring missing
pets to their owners has established
an interstate reputation for the bu
reau. Recently a pedigreed terrier,
found injured in Detroit, was re
stored to its owner in Buffalo
through the medium of the bureau.
One of the ace cases of the bureau
concerns a dog found swimming in
the Atlantic ocean off the Maine
coast. The dog was identified and
returned to its New York state own
er.
Excepting the cities of New York
and Buffalo, there are 407,000
tagged and identified dogs in the
state. New York and Buffalo license
their dogs independently.

DELIVERANCE
FROM SELF
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
One of the most difficult personal
achievements is to be able to for
get one's self.
However people
may diner in
their theological
definitions of sin,
in essence, sin is
selfishness. The
cause of much of
the world's mis
ery and suffering
comes from giv
ing first consid
eration to one's
own personal de
sires and ambi
tions with no
thought of the
considerations of others. There are
circumstances in which we sooner
or later may experience "to our bit
ter cost the curse of self-obsession."
If a man would have friends, he
must show himself friendly. Self
"JUST A GIGOLO"
Edward Blau, age eighty-three, is
"just a gigolo," he admitted to Chi
cago police when he was arrested
and held on a complaint of Mrs.
Elizabeth Stout, of Princeton, N. J.,
charging Blau with obtaining from
her $700 in cash, two diamond
rings, worth five hundred dollars, in
addition to owing her a $360 board
bill. ' At the police station Blau
scoffed at the lady's accusations,
saying, "Fact is, she gave the money
and jewels because she wanted to
be petted and I petted her."
obsession drives people from us
rather than attracts them to us. One
may become so absorbed in his own
interests that he is calloused to the
most urgent human appeals. Com
plete self-absorption kills the finer
impulses and destroys both peace
of mind and happiness. "If happi
ness have not her seat and cen
ter in the breast, we may be wise
or rich or great, but never can be
blessed."
Nervous breakdowns and mental
aberrations are frequently due to
that state of introversion which re
sults in self-pity and depression. Psy
chology informs us that this is one
of the most difficult mental ailments
to cure. Not only does self-absorp
tion work havoc with our psychic
centers, but it also seriously af
fects our characters. Self-compla
cency makes a man so satisfied with
himself and his own righteousness
that he becomes oblivious to his own
faults. And we all have our faults
as well as our virtues. Self-right
eousness confesses no wrong and
therefore, seeks no forgiveness and
gives none.
Egotism, another form of self-ob
session, makes one exaggerate his
abilities and eliminate from the
process of serious sef-correction his
faults. The egotist is insensible to
the world's need for full use of all
his talents. A celebrated author
would never permit one of his books
to rest on his library shelves lest
it make him self-satisfied with his
present achievements.
The egotist talks much about his
good and great deeds, tbe hard
tasks be has completed, tbe hard
ships endured, the victories wan.
Until people will cease being ab
sorbed In self, there Is the need of
deliverance from self.
But how are we to be deivered
from selfT That is the question. We
are so much a part of ourselves, it
is really a difficult matter to put self
into one compartment of being that
becomes, as it were, the clearing
house of all that pertains to self
appraisal and self-progress. One of
the surest ways to forget self is to
serve others. One can lose himself

SHOULDER BOUQUET
Spring flowers bring that uplift ol
the spirit which every woman ex
periences with the turn of the sea
son, and spring brings an array ot
lovely blooms with pale tints and
soft shades that are flattering on al
most any outfit. The golden free
sias forming a pale yellow ring
around a cut bloom of pink car
nation is especially fitting for a
shoulder bouquet, as illustrated.
Naming Chagrin River
Moses Cleaveland and his party of
surveyors were looking for a river
known as the Cuyahoga on their
trip to the Reserve, says the Cleve
land Plain Dealer. Seeing the mouth
of what they thought to be the Cuya
hoga, they sailed in. Upon learning
their mistake (so the story goes),
they named the river Chagrin.
Rocking Rookies for British Army
Before the novice is entrusted with ? valuable cavalry charger in
the British army, he must prove his efficiency in horsemanship aboard
a wooden rocking horse. Here you see a class of recruits for the Six
teenth lancers undergoing the necessary? if undignified ^?early training.
The galloping motion of a horse is duplicated by other soldiers pushing
the horses from behind.

1 Sis, I believe I'd be inspired
to aDswer that question, 'Did you
ever see a dream walking?' You
are nothing less than devastating
? truly a menace!"
"You meow so sweetly, Connie.
I'm a bit suspicious that this little
peplum frock of mine has got
you catty. Your eyes really aren't
green by rights, you know."
Connie Sews Her Own.
"How could you? I think my
dress looks as nice on me as
yours does on you. Why practical
ly all of the girls at the Laf-a-Lot
last night wanted to know where
I found such a lovely frock. Not
one of them guessed that I made
it myself. And did 1 feel elegant
when I played Mendelssohn's
Spring Song on Diane's new baby
grand! The girls said I fit into
the picture perfectly. I thought
if only Dwight could see me now."
"I still say my two-piecer with
its piped peplum, cute little but
tons and stream-lines is the No. 1
spring outfit in this woman's
town."
"Girls, girls, if your talk were
only half as pretty as your frocks
you'd be better off. Sometimes I
wonder if you wouldn't be more
appropriately titled The Cheek
Twins, rather than The Chic
Twins."
"Okay, Mother, you win. Let's
change the subject by changing
clothes. We'D put on our cullottes
and join you in a round of golf,
how's that? Gee, Mother, you nev
er look sweeter than when you'rs
