Lynch It might not have ever occurred to the readers of this column just how close your newspaperman is oonnec.ted with your life. He is always glad to publish your olrth announcement when you are born, then he follows with you through ycur pre school days with accounts of the parties you attend and give. Then when school days begin .he gladly prints your events at school, and monthly Includes your name on the Honor Roll. Then he. tries tov keep in touch with your accomplishments at college. And the next most important event?marriage ? he gladly reserves a space for you on his society page ? and then when your babies are born he publishes their birth announcements.

Still An American Opportunity By RAYMOND PITCAIRN Since the earliest days of the Republic, Americans have regarded our country as a model and an example to all nations oi what free government can achieve. This pride in our ideals and progress involves more than a sense of self-satisfaction. It demands a sense of respon- slbillty as well. Responsibility for what? Responsibility for continued demonstration of the fact that political freedom assures not oniy great material advantages, out internal peace and happiness as well. For a century and a half the first of these benefits has been evident to all the world. Under no other government has the standard of living equalled that of the AmeHcan people. But of the second benefit, the evidence has been less apparent. Warring ambitions and political exigencies have, on frequent occasion. Interrupted not only our national progress but our happiness as a people. Efforts to create and exploit class hatreds; to arouse sectional differences; to fan, for factional purposes, the embers of dying hatreds and prejudices, have marred the shining model which America can represent. In Europe?old. tired and haunted by its ancient fears. Its limited resources and Its plague spots of despotism?such strife Is perhaps unavoidable. But in America*?etlll young, still vigorous, still itch hi tho wealth of her natural resource# and the energy ef her peeple?it ie difficult to understand. If America to to remain what her founders hoped?a model and a beacon for all mankind?then hatreds, and the attempt to arouse hatre*, must cease, while all groups work together for the benefit of the people as a whole.

Expansivity, philosophically, Grandpere discoursed' on the beauty of the jewels while his client. Peps lo Molco, stood before him and Pepe's bodyguards lounged by the heavy door. Pepe le Moko, the master jewel thief, virtuoso among accomplished crooks srnd eluders of the police, delicately balanced a small pearl in the palm of his hand. An admirably built man, broad of. shoulder, extremely handsome of face, with finely chiseled lips and sensitive nostrils, one might have taken him for an art critic or a man-about-the-Boulevards. v "This pearl," mused Pope, "belongs on a very special kind of ear, like a pink shell. ..with a little curl of gold hair about It..." While Pepe and Grandpere continued to toss off epigrams about the beauty of fine jewels, and huge, stupid Carlos continued to grumble about their failure to get do'm to prices, the life Of the Casbah swarmed in its accustomed way in the crooked streets and narrow alleys outsido. Suddenly a native youth ran Into the street, elbowing his way among the robed natives, .veiled women, lagged children and 'VHu^I I r ^ 7? on a very tpecial kind 0/ ear." .- # .

It was one of the periodic raids that they knew so well, and that invariably failed of their objective. This particular one was a little more determined than usual, for Commissioner Louvain, irked by the failure of the local Algiers constabulary to find Pepe le Moko, had come over to lead the hunt personally. A column of detectives and uniformed officers invaded the narrow street. They seised a few imperturbable natives who sat at tables hard by the doorways, playing cards. From each one the familiar question, "Where's Pepe le Moko," . brought the familiar answer ? an expressive shrug of the shoulders and a torrent or unintelligible language. But one of those whom they seised answered In BngUsb. This was Regis, a hanger-on at the fringes of Pepe le Boko's gang, and In reality a police Informer. "1 don't know where Pepe Is," ho babbled. But at the same time he slipped a crumpled piece of paper Into one of the detectives' hands. "Orandpere's," read Inspector Louvaln, head , of the local police, ireading the note after they had re- ' leased Regis.
