MEMORIAL DAY
With the close of May, now
just a few days away, comes
the day of national tribute to
our soldier dead.
On that day in the great nat
ional cemeteries of the land,
where now sleep the dead, of
three sanguinary wars, the
grrvt will no longer be but
lines of "crosses row on row,”
inste-d they will become
brigl. tretches of fresh cut
flowv i —a beauteous tribute
from the living to those who
offered the precious jewel of
existence on the altar of patri
otism.
!n remote places men, women
and nil lren will pause to re
mem- et those who offered
themselves in the defense of
the nation’s honor and institut
ions. In hundreds of quiet
graveyards throughout the
land, far from the parades,
the pomp and ceremony of the
cities—wherever may be found
t»>“ grave of one who wore tlje'"
blue, gray or khaki, flowers
win oe laid on grassy mounds,
prayers will ascend and tears
will fall in memory of the
nation’s brkVe.
And thus may it ever be;
for the nation that forgets to
give due honor to its worthy
brave is a nation doomed to
fall. It is easy to honor those
who live. Adulation goes forth
to the hero , almost without
conscious thought. Hero wor
ship is natural to most of us.
But to give .true honor and
reverence those who have
pai ,1 beyond, whom human
eyes shall see no more, whose
names and deeds are dimmed
by time, requires something
more than the enthusiasm
which prompt* most of the
adulation given to the living
hero. To recall and honor the
memory of those Who are long
since dead, requires a deeper,
more subtile movement with
in our hearts and minds; a
stirring of our fiber sensibili
ties. prompted by gratitude
and aided by memory.
QUACKS LACK BUSINESS
With busiess steadily improv
ing, with industries increasing
ly active, with agriculture reg
istering substantial gains in
practically every section, with
| economic conditions generally
onnd and on a stable basis,
the hawkers of political and
economic nostrums find them
selves in a poor market.
When times are bad and dis
ati",faction prevails, economic
novelties and political quack
remedies may win acceptance.
But when times are good and
oeople are satisfied such of
| erings do not appeal. A pros
perous and contented nation
loes not run after strange
doctrines. It holds to the things
that have made for its pros
perity and contentment.

ADVERTISING AND THE
CHURCH
Announcement that a church
’fn New York City is to erect
a big electric sign on Broad
way, calling attention to its
•ervice , is likely to cause some
surprise. A few graybeards
nay shake their heads in dis
approval of the .idea of the
Church resorting to the meth-!
ods used by chewing gum
manufacturers and theaters;
to advertise their wares and !
attractions; they will think it
undignified. It is an unusual j
departure, to be sure; but
there will be far leas criticism
ahan would have been the case
if the scheme had been pro
posed 10 years ago.
Advertising has come to be
generally recognized as legiti
mate function not only of com
mercial concerns, but of all
organizations which seek the
patronage of the public. The
advertising art is almost as
old as civilization. The ancients
used posters and placards free
ly to announce games and
festivals, and to direct atten
tion to the baths and taverns.
The walls of the most fre
quented sections of Pompeii
and Herculaneum are covered
with notices, painted in red
and black. In view of its antiq
uity it is curious that adver
tising has been regarded with
suspicion until recent years,
and even yet is considered un
ethical by the practitioners of'
some of the learned profeis
sions.
It is a gratifying indication
lhat the churches are living,
growing institutions, abreast
of the times and in sympathy
with the modern* currents of
thought; that they are resort
ing more and more to the use
of advertising-the powerful
Twentieth century method of
sending a mesage to vast num
bers of people.

It is said that too many young

| At a railroad siding a man
asked the foreman if there was
a vacancy.
“What can you do?” aeked
the foreman.
“Anything,” replied the man.
“All right,” answered the
foreman, “take this oil can and
oil the points and crossings up
the line.”
After an absence of three days
the foreman received a tele
gram which read: “Dear sir:
Arrived at Detroit. Please for
ward more oil.”
“No,” said the man who re
sided in Chicago for a long
time, “I don’t think I could be
happy in any other city. There
are so many things of interest
here that one never goes to
see.”
There isn’t any excuse for a

Bobbing their hair has given

skirts did the men.
