York • Chicaao • Otfra* • PfcitadrtoW* TRADITION STRETCHED The Associated Press stated in a New York dispatch Fri day that the death ot President Roosevelt carried on an Amer ican tradition that Presidents elected at twenty-year interval* die in office. He lists William Henry Harrison, elected in 1840 Abraham Lincoln, elected in I860; James A Garfield, elected in 1880; William McKinley, elected in 1900, and Warren G. Harding, elected in 1920. However we believe the press association historian fails to in the effort to link Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the smasher of tradition and the setter of precedents, to this tradition, or su perstition. For to make his sick in the list it was necessary to put him down as elected in 1940. Of course President Roose velt was first elected in 1982, while most of the other presidents who died in office were first elected m the twenty year intervals .Now, perhaps, the great Roosevelt has laid this tradition in the snaue along vwtn.oo many ouieis mat ne sent into the discard, uespite me laci mat lie nad served eigiil yeais in tne While Douse, Llie Roosevelt who smashed Me tnird-ierm liani tion in 11*40 was not anoinei leader but tile same who ai me beginning ot Ins nisi lenn challenged.' and conquered i «i.oiiai fear even if ne we:e facing a world that leared the ru.e ot lies men was about to pass from the earth. As a matter oi fact, McKinley was first electcu m 1896. Between the deaths ot Harrison and Lincoln ca...e mat of Zachary Taylor, who died in 1650. However, with t.,c exception of Taylor, one can nguie uaek for a century anu n..u men who were elected at twenty-year intervals—though riot m ail cases did their gist term elections fall by intervals—wno have died in office. Of tiie seven Presidents who have died in office, three fell by assassination. The three great wars in which this nation has engaged in the past hundred years have in 'effect cost the lives of the war presidents. Lincoln’s assassination grew out of passions of the War between the States. Wilson’s physical collapse in of fice could be charged to the great burden imposed by W'orld War I. And surely Roosevelt is a casualty of World War II. McKinley was President in the 1898 war with Spain which was hardly a major conkict. BONDS FOR MORALE There is probably no more accurate method of taking the public’s war “temperature” than to watch the progress of the sale of war bonds. It is generally believed that, because of the victories in Europe, war “heat’' among civilians has cooled considerably. Hut we can't think of any thing that would be more discourag ing to the boys righting in the Japanese islands than to think that the war is practically a thing of the past, at home. Those boys in the Pacific will get reports on tko sal# of bonds during the Seventh Loan Drive. They will know— when they see those reports—whether wo ary still whole heartedly behind them or not. There are plenty of good reasons for every one of us to continue to buy bonds, but we can think of no more important reason right now than to convince the soldiers and sailors in the Pacific that this talk of weakening morale at home isn’t true—that we still know- there is a war going on and are still behind them 100 per cent. FIGHTING OVER PEACE The arguments which preceded the San Francisco "peace conference” didn’t help to build public confidence in the theory that the nations of the world can hereafter get along as one big happy family. The bickering over how many votes each nation would have in a world governing body made it clear that most of the leading nations will demand all the power they can possi bly get. It also indicates that it is going to take superhuman diplomacy, in any world organization, to keep any nation which doesn't get what it considers a square deal from se ceding from the organization. But we shouldn’t become too peuiniitie over argu ment* that develop. For in the United State* we have tha best example in the world of how group* of people with different interest* and different problem* caa live togeth er amicably. | The 48 states of the United States have been able totally ! to eliminate war as a possible solution to any problem. SARGE GAVE UP On the right—form platoon! roared the sergeant. The recruits carried out some kind of maneuver which left the sergeant speechless He looked at them a moment. Then his voice returned— and no words can describe the tone of it. . All right—now take your partners for the dance.”—Salt Lake City (Utah) Farmer. However we believe the press association historian fails perstition. For to make him stick in the list it was necessary to beginning of the first term challenged and conquered national did their first term elections fall by iQtervaJs^-who Ijfve died hardly a major conflict. * Golden Gate (• ETTERS FROM SOLDIERS Mr. and Mrs. A. A, Notes have eceived the following letter from ‘heir son Johnnie Noles: Somewhere in France April 1, If <5 Dearest Mother and All: There are so mar things to wii*e abort tonight a d 1 have so many letters to write ! don’t Know just where to begin- or what to say. Daddy said that !'■' wanted me io tell him all abott* his country. Well I can’t do that, but I have .lust returned from 1‘aus so I can toll you soimthing about that gt y c'ty I got into Paris about noon, and just after lunch I started looking for Jack Houser.’ After walking all over the place I final ly found him. He was at work in a restricted area, so I could stay only a little while. At five-thirty when he got off I met him and went to his quarters. We ate sup per and then started out for a little night life. There wasn’t ! much for a couple of small town | hoys to do but we had plenty of fun. The next morning, Simon Shires and I wgpt on a tour of the city, sponsored by the Red Cross. We saw so many things, 1 can’t begin to tell you about them I am going to send some pictures of the most interesting, if I can. I’ll just have to wait until I come home to tell you about them. After noon Jack, Simon and 1 went on a shopping tour and that is where the trouble started. I wanted to get presents for ev eryone, but it was impossible. There are plenty of things for girls, but for boys there just isn’t anything. I got two bracelets for Iiaura Jean and Joan. They arent the best in the world, but I hope they like them. I got nothing for you, Daddy, Forest, J. H. and the other kids, maybe can ti id some thing before I mail the package home. If I don’t it isn’t because 1 don’t love you, it is because 1 can’t find anything to send. After supper the three of us went to a variety show at the Ca sino de Paris. If the censor will pass them I will send L/addy the trogramme and some pictures, however, no one else must look at those pictures. We had a very nice time, but all three of us were in bed by midnight. This mor.;:ng I got up at five thirty and went to Sunns* Ser vice. It was held right at the Eiffel Tower. Jack and I were supposed to meet and go together but we didn’t get together, so we didn’t see each other today. We did have a wonderful time while we were together. The Sunrise Service was well worth while, it was held for Allied service men and women «n»1 there were plenty them tlm I will send you tic program fc that when I send the other •> i gs.

The ‘nips on the floor were about two inches. About half the room was walled with mirrors from the tioor to the ceiling. The bathroom was as large as any room in our house. . It had both shower and tub and the walls were about halt mirrors, Ha! Gee, it was devine. Folks, I wish I could tell yoti about the people of Paris but I can’t this time, I will say though 1 have seen some of the most beautiful women in the world, maybe later I can write you all about them. 1 was in some of the modern department stores of Paris and 1 only wish I had a million dollars. The things are beautiful, dresses, hats, sweaters and everything else that any woman would want. It is just too expensive for us though. I had a couple of pictures made one is a group, the gang that went on the sight seeing tour, the oth er was made in hotel, just me Jack and I had one made togeth er. I’ll send them as soon as the\ are ready. If I write anymore 1 will have to send this letter in a package, so I will close. Good night. Lots of love to all. JOHhTNIE. St** Inch sStittum ,tm tow* HAMM The Founding of the Nation Leuon for April 22: Exodu* 18:19-24; 19:3-8 Memory Ver»e: Exodu* 19:8. Four hundred years after the days of Joseph, there arose a new king over Egypt that “knew not Joseph.” It was during those cen turies, perhaps, that the Shep herd Kings were expelled and a native dynasty restored to the throne. The new king, claiming the Hebrews were a menace to the state, began the oppression that led to the Exodus. Moses, trying alone to adminis ter to the people, under the wise advice of his father-in-law, began tne organization of the nation, giving laws and regulations, ap pointing rulers and establishing a judiciary. On Sinai Moses communed with God, entered into the covenant, and received the Ten Command I ments, honored through all time j since. , The tabernacle was set up in the wilderness, with its priesthood and elaborate ritual—to become the center of the people’s life. When the ark set forward the host took up the march; when the ark rested, its tabernacle was set up, and the people pitched their tents around about, according to the tribes. In this period we see the hand ! of God under Moses,, forming the ; Hebrews into an organized nation [ which, after 40 years, reached the borders of Palestine, ready for the congest of a homeland. Let us realize the need of God in tne affairs of nations and in the lives of individuals.

Poultrymen who wish to grow crossbred broilers be sui e to get crossbred progeny of strains of purebreds noted for rapid growth and early feathering, 0 BLUFF FAILS IN THE END Some years ago a boy who had been born and reared on a farm near Ripon, Mich., got on a train and wen*^ dowm to Chicago to make his way in the world. The boy J name was H. Gordon Selfridge. * He tried twTo places and finally got a job in the de partment store of Marshall Field & Company m the fur niture department. He w orked hard but he didn t do wei . At the same time there was another clerk in the some de partment who was a whiz. He made a showy display ot his knowledge about furniture. On the other hand the Michigan farm boy did know something about it, for he had not only studied furniture and the woods from which it was made, but he had also got books on the subject, studied them, asked questions, and tried to master his product. Hut still the showy salesman put it all over him. One day the ex-farm boy asked the other salesman how he managed to make so many more sales than he did. The show'y salesman replied: T j __ “It’s really very simple. 1 bluff. When I don t know the answer to a question, I give one that I think ^ cor rect. They never check up on you. If you d do more bluff ing. instead of admitting ignorance, you d get a ong faster.” Selfridge said something HKe, it seems *o •»*-= it’s better to admit you don’t know than to pretend you dr know.” .he .iu.cr clerk laughed. “Well, you see the differ on, , i a us. I’m getting promotions and you’re stand ard tv hard medicine to take but Seltridge took it and continued his course of learning all about the subject he possibl;, could and. when stumped, admitting that he didn’t know the answers. What was the result? Well, after a short time Sell ridge, in spite of his slow start, was promoted, h inally he was made manager of a department. At last he become a partner in the business. . . And the self-coniident young man who believed m bluff? Well, in a little less than a year and a half he was tired for incompetency. Selfridge went to London, England, later, and opened the first London department store. That store made him famous. , . , . . - _ The man who bluffs is kicking his own chair out from under himself.
