PATRIOTISM Patriotism and loyalty to America should (be the aim of every citizen, whether he is naturalized or not. Dlsloyulty and a lack of patriotism is a force which can trader mine our free institutions and possibly result in the destruction of our democratic form of government to the everlasting sorrow of all the people of the world, including our own lt>0,000,0<i0. American Independence now 150 years of age, has been the model of perfection to other nations, and In striving to emulate us, they have suffered wars, famine and disaster Many South American Republics have made great progress in - copying our customs and laws. Why then, should the American people not fight hard against any attemp* to alter, or amend the Consiltuttdiisl laws that have made us great? Remain loyal and true to the flag that gives you shelter and freedom Turn a deaf ear to such doctrines as Oom|munJ^m, Oermsfi-Amerfcan Bundlsm, etc.?-The Record. THE VALUE OF A SMILE A smile creates happiness in the home, fosters good-will in business. and in the counter sign of friends. It 1? re?t to the weary, delight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and nature's best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, "borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody until it is given away!? Selected. C08TLY William S. Knudson, president of General Motors, naturally reflects the employer viewpoint in labor disputes In the automobile industry. Nevertheless, there is material, for the consideration of all In his recent statement that the Chrysler employees on strike recently in Detroit will require "six years to earn back from their small wage Increase the mony they lost in the strike." The Chrysler company, too, will need time to recoup its .sales losses In that time.

Instead of sitting there eating chocolates, and making ex, cuaes for blm!" ? Head Commissioner of Scotland Yard, Sir Wilfred Bingham, plainly was annoyed. Not so, however, inspector Mackenzie, a man whose outward appearance, a mass of affectation, boredom and mockery, belled his real efficiency, his eager and alert Intelligence. _ Near -him 1 "ur'ifar d'e'fkf"*dr"asa box of chocolates, Into which he dipped from time to tlmo as If for inspiration and guidance. It was the Amateur Cracksman again. Now the Medici Venus had disappeared In broad daylight from the National Gallery and nod turn nd up again when Maud Hoyt, a timid little old. ladv, returned It. ance when I was ten.

Maud Hoyt's farewell performance. she Informed them was in 19X9; and aha had been In "somewhat straitened circumstances" ever since. Inspector Mackensle'i fancy painted for him a picture of the crlmlnBfl j&fr mI*m sot Lady JTelroee; you al. "It's like him." he muaed. "That old lady needs the money. A daring act, a chance to do a charity and make us look fools, all at the saoit time." He put hla finger In his mouth lo deal with a difficult piece of caramel. "A man with a sense of humor; a sporting sense; and an artistic one. He's never kept much. He's never made a big haul, even when he could. I don't think he Mfces stealing, except for the tun of It. But I suppose he has to live, like the rest of us." ' It was a mild summer night, at the height of tho cricketing season. Two bobbles leaned cosily &V. - e a / uaiusb ujo vcijr expvnstvo piftie I glass windows of London's most exclusive Jeweler. They were admiringly discussing A. J. Raffles, sensational amateur sportsman, who had made another century at Lord% that afternoon. Inside those very expensive plate glass windows. A. J. Raffles, the Amateur Cracksman, was making another haul of an exquisite bracelet His task quickly and quietly effected, the tall slim figure In Immaculate evening clothes turned toward the front exit hut finding1 It blocked by hie two constabulary fane, made his way out the rear door, turned the corner and - unconcernedly passed tba polloerten. "There he Is," whispered one ee-ltedly, "that's A. 3. Raffles." Itafflea sauntered on, entered a tobacconlsts'e, purchased a paok of cigarettes and gave to two email boy* who begged for It the oioture Inside the wrapping. It was a snapshot of Raffias himself, and tha boys, recognising him, ran after him tor an autograph. As he stopped to borrow a pencil from a doorman In order to accommodate his Juvenile public, he was pounced upon by Owen If and eve and her brother Bunny. i ?'' ^ - ' ' ' f i Extra Si MEN9! * Just Received In Ti 39c THREE I : ?Gift Bo* V ' VU.-*Y ... . i .

Once there, tho whola party, in turn, woe captured by Lord and Lady Mclroee, v. !- > clamored for an Introduction to the famous sportsman. Raffles, perforce, was seated at Lady Melrose's elbow. He lit a cigarette, luld the pack on the table, and immediately began to shower his hostess with extravagant compliments. A woman of her age was experienced enough not to take him serlouely and at tho same time to be captivated' by his flattering attention. A gentleman who lives by his wits must know all the tricks of his trade. A cameraman came up. "May we n&Vft * picture? Just look at each other please." dlghatlon. As he turned toward Lady Melrose, his eyes tell on her necklace, and for ope ipllt second became rlvltcd on It. The picture was snapped. The next instant Raffles was himself again. "Would you care to dance?" he gallantly asked Lady Mclroac. "No. I think that would be going too far. You dence with Owen, but mind you hurry back to mc." 1 The couple rose. They looked I 9 needn't pay me oonpUment*.very charming together, Raffles handsome, dashing, debonair, with his gray-blue eyes, light brown hair and trim mustache; lovely Owen tiny, slim, with fair skin, dark hair and burning dark eyes. Bunny also rose. 'Tin afraid I've got to run away." he said awk wardly. "Well, ?lnce you brought Mr. Raffle*, ni forgive you." said Lady Melrose. 'You and Owen are coming down for the weekend ? don't forget." Tm rrot quite sure," stammered Bunny. "May I call you In tha mo rning?" . "Certainly, but we've got a new exchange down there," said Lord Melrose, "better write the number down." He pulled Raffles' cigarette pack toward him, put his paper on it, . and wrote the new exchange. ' On his way out Bunny passed Owen and Raffles on the dance floor. Owen was vainly trying to fathom the mystery behind the "A. J." "Is It Androcles?" she queried with her .tenth guess. "It's no use," said Raffle*. "Tve never told anyone;" Tve got to run," called Bunny. "You'll see Owen home, wont you, A. J.?" Raffles looked %obr!cd. "What's the matter?" asked Gwen. "Are you depressed at the prospect of seeing me home?" "Depressed? Itn delighted," hs reassured her. "Tm not Lady Melrose, A. J. You needn't pay me compliments." Raffles was serious now. "It's not a compliment. Z mean It, Owen. And I mean a" lot more, too." He was about to say more, but chfecked himself. **Qo on," sba prodded. "That's all.". Hs was smiling again, and unapproachable.

It was said, too, that although Investigation of the Labor Board and amendment of the Wagner Act would help, no law could force harmonious relations between an em? ployer and an employee any more than a law could establish 'ove and respect within a family.'
