That's where some folks fail to pass the patriotism test. They talk big about their Country and then treat their Home Town like a red headed stepchild. They do their shopping somewhere else, forgetting that the merchants of their town are the builders of the city and that they need the support of all good citizens- They get ALL they can out of their town and they give NOTHING IN RETURN. Perhaps you've seen that sort of folks. Perhaps your neighbor is one of them. Well, that isn't the point. HOW ABOUT YOU? Do you "BUY AT HOME," or Are You a Slacker? A Cllll Of STEEL BY DAY ID NIGHT AXI LINKS OK THE GREAT ..M ER ICA FLEET ARE WEIGHED BY THE THOUSANDS OP TONS (By CARL D. GROAT) (United Press Staff Correspondent.) With The American Great Fleet, June 6. The American great fleet to day rides, a giant double chain of steel, whose links are weighed by thousands of tons, and whose grip is a death strangle. It's monster guns, eager for a fight, are the most ffl cient that human mind and human hand can mould; it's engines and its equipment the finest American dol lars could buy; it's personnel, able, willing, powerful. It is an inspiring sight, this line of great grey sea dogs. We came out to It a party of newspapermen and authors on a bright day. A cutting wind blew out at sea. lasting up white caps, and tossing the seagoing tug nauseatingly Black smoke poured from heavy funnels, hiding some of the vessels, while trailing off in the distance the curls from the last funnel looked like the grime from a far away factory. We were taken aboard the largest and finest of the ships. The admiral made us at home, und then we clambered high aloft in the masts that look like vast cylindrical baskets. We explored forbidden turrets under special navy pernirision; we saw the great guns operat ; and we looked at flre me rhnniMiiH the secret of which is shield ed frnm the world. lielow were more guns. .

Our particular craft is oil burning. Heavy compressed air forces the oil and air Into a spray that roars fierce ly through the seething chambers. Men are guarding these fires with the pride of a mother tending her child. On other craft, we find, naked grimy men stoking coal into the yawning furnaces. There is everything aboard almost -a printing plant, a barber shop, a store, bakery, in fact a whole com munity In Itself. At night, from afar you wonder if the lights anfl the bustle down the lanes mark Coney Island the San Francisco exposition or some huge weird drama of light and fire and shadow. T'p in the basket masts, double lights, the "blinkers," wink and wink and wink. Their lights are dots and dr.shes, perhaps some message of im portance, perhaps only the chatter of some operator, practising his signals. Other lights .sharp and clear, flash Tossing out before the fleet though are other watchers the patrol boats that keep their vigil, heedless of waves or storm or privation or danger. SURGICAL SOCIETY "DID ITS BIT" The members of the Surgical press lng Society went to the registration places at seven o'clock Tuesday and remained until nine at night, pinning the badge of honor furnished by the Chamber of Commerce on Betsey' Braves and lending their cheery en couragement to the heroes-to-be.
