FRANK LEWIS’ Disillusion (BV RENN IIRtlM.) PRANK LEWIS, THE MOUTH j harp artist of Cleveland's South I Mountains and a veteran of the fa- I mows Princess Pats, may be Insane. | and no doubt he is as medical exam- I iners say. That he fs somewhat pec uliar all who know him agree. But neither, in the opinion of this col yum, is responsible for the curious | : action of the big blonde mountain- 1 I eer who fought the Hun overseas ag j a member of Canada's most noted fighting outfit. In our opinion the Princess Pat veteran is laboring under a disil- | lusion that other overseas vets j have emerged from years ago. In | other words, to use a street term,! Lewis “hasn’t come to.” It is just one of those lingering, pathetic cases. We’ve seen scores of young men, some of them with a great debt coming their way from their country and fellow-citizens, awaken to the material soul behind the glamor of the war—awaken with pain in their eyes, but in such a manner as to shake it off and for get, then drive cn into the relent less stream where a hero is only a hero for a day after which he must fight his own way out. Perhaps the world errs in that philosophy and 1 it should not be so, but is it so and the majority of the “soldier boys,” who w^re heroes in '18, realized it before the second Armistice anni versary was celebrated, and made the best of it. Lewis, apparently, hasn’t. And that, we contend, is the foundation of his multiduinous troubles. That the world is sentimental at rare moments is an admited fact. No one could gainsay that after re calling how old and young turned out with everything they had to bid the khaki-clad “God-speed" as they departed for training camps, and eventually Flanders Field. But for every minute the world is sentimental there are scores and scores of years it is hard-hearted. The men who were heroes yester day are forgotten people today. Those upon whom praise and pres ents are lavished today will be fighting for a living tomorrow. It'3 tough perhaps, but it is there to be faced. « « » When the Princess Pat outfit left Canada for England, Canada sent her greatest fighting men away with all the glory a war-enthused, sentimental people could offer. In that outfit was a husky lad from the mountains of this county . . . . muscular, nappy-go-iucky. daring .... just the kind of man to make a Princess Pat, the most admired soldier in the service of the King. Then when the outfit landed in England it paraded before King George and Queen Mary. Maybo there were tears in the eyes of roy alty as the stalwarts marched by to fight for the old country, marching ; to “Tipperary” and “God Save the i King." Those were sentimental days. I Not many weeks later the Princess Pat regiment was slaughtered al most to the man as the valiant Canadians with their American re cruits halted a dangerous German march. Of the few living who came out of the carnage was the South Mountain boy. When the bleeding remnant of the once proud regiment again passed through London it re ceived a great welcome, but with tear of sandness replacing the tears of pride that welcomed it when it first arrived. Then another big re j ception for the remnant when it came back to the Dominion, Abbut that time the South Moun tain boy picked up his harp and started homeward, to receive, he no doubt thought, more plaudits. But meantime the war was over. Those who waved flags and cheered loud est were again back to the task of making dollars. The war is over, why fawn over a soldier boy now? Such was the reception Frank Lewis received, as scores of other soldier boys received when they packed their kit. for the last time and headed back to the cities, towns, and hamlets from which they came, expecting no doubt a great welcome. But the aspect of' things had changed. When they left the country was in danger, but when they returned it had been saved and few found time to bother with those who helped save it. The world has always been so. Most of the boys who had waded out into No Man’s land soon realized it, and hitched their belts one more notch and dug ! in. Their granddads, perhaps they thought, came back from the Civil War to even less. Here and there stumps of what had been legs . . . over there a wiry nub that had once been a hand fondly shaken by the people who sang “America” as they sent it away . . . here a drawn, wrinkle lined face that was once youthful and gay before it sniffed a deadly gas . , . but the w'orld marches hur riedly on down the street of life. There, if you please, is Frank Lewis’ trouble. He is still disillu sioned. Or as one of those who was over himself put it: "Frank still thinks the world owes him a living because he fought overseas. The scorer he realizes that the world thinks otherwise, the better off he’ll be.” One cannot help but pity to an extent the big mountaineer. Es pecially when he turns his harp off to the sad refrain of some lonely tune of the mountain coves. Yet there are times for dreamS, and for every dream there is disillusion. Prank should shake the dreams out of his head in his own peculiar way, and face reality. It may be tough, but, as we say. hundreds of others have already done so. Life is that way—dreams then disilusion, followed by a patching up and other dreams. Dreams and disillusions, then more dreams. Al ways hope until the morgue wagon rolls up to the'side door. Elliott Re-Union On Fourth Sunday Editor Star: While recent mention was made in your columns of the (fay and date of the Elliott reunion, let it be duly impressed ' upon Vour readers that the time of the annual event is August 25. 1928—the fourth Sat urday in August. The reason for bringing out the date with due emphasis, is that the other Elliott reunion, a function celebrated in Rutherford county, and the Glover reuion. both of which hav'' been duly celebrated are likely to cause confusion. ' All are welcome, and among dis tinguished visitors. Hon. A. L. Bul winkle, congressman from ninth dis trict of North Carolina, is expected to be present. But the rule Still is in force, that whoever undertakes to orate, es pesially updn political matters, shall face a firing squad and perish without benefit of clergy. MELVIN L. WHITE.

It is understood that i the occupants of three of these -were also unable to obtain corkscrews from the room-service department. Life. Patients with gastirc hyperacidity frequently state that they suffer i discomfort after eating thin soups, i and they usually learn from experi ence to refrain from this type pf food, says the writer; and he adds: “I believe that the explana tion for this occurence is to be found in the greater dissociation of hydrochloric acid by the water content of the meal." r A Few More Left Our Two-Piece Summer Suits we are closing out at l/2 Price Linen, Gabardine, Palm Beach Materials.
