Longfellow EUROPE TO HAVE PEACE IN REALITY It requires only the assent and ratification of the parliaments in Paris and Berlin to make peace in Europe real—to and the World War. There has been more or less belligerency of attitude between France and Germany ever since the Armistice. Reparations has been the source and subject of contention, for the most part. At last an agreement has been reached and a plan has been adopted which promises to work out to the advantage of all concerned. It was formulated disinterestedly by a commission of American fiscal experts. The best judgment of these able men—handled by General Dawes and one of whom was Henry M. Robinson of California—was incorporated into this agreement. Should ratification be effected at Paris and Berlin—as confidently is predicted—the Dawes plan will be given a fair trial. The animosities of the World War should diminish. It is too much to expect them to pass in toto, in a single generation, or even in several generations. But in this era of widespread intelligence and swift communication, when peoples have opportunity to know more about each other and thus to come to more enlightened understanding, grudges between peoples and nations should not endure as they did in the old days. Everything that can be said and done to make France and Germany real friends, without lurking designs to fight each other again in future, should be said and done. The truth, and nothing but the truth, about forest fires in California. Let no exaggerated reports be sent out. Wherever there is disaster or widespread plague or distress, there the generous, helpful ministrations of the American Red Cross are proffered. Common sense in government should be the slogan of the national campaign.

He asked for a dog. "You can't have one," said his father. "Dogs cost money, and the money must go for the baby." A few days later a little brother was presented to Tom. "Look at him," he said to his grandmother, "all our money wasted on that!" Marian, who is 7 years old, had gone to the hospital for a slight operation. She looked round and seemed puzzled. Finally she said to the nurse. "My, but things do look changed here!" "Have you been here before?" "Why, yes; I was born here," was the startling answer. "Sammy," said the teacher, impatiently, "what is that you are playing with?" Sammy made no reply, but the class sneak was ready with information. "Teacher, it's some string he's got." "Give it to me!" was the next command. So the offending string was passed along and thrown into the waste basket. There was no more trouble with Sammy until his turn came to re-cite. Then, instead of standing up, he made no sign except that two big tears stood in his eyes. "Why don't you go on with your reading?" cried the teacher. "Excuse me, ma'am," whimpered Sammy.

BEN HERR'S "Exide" Audio Electricians Battery Service 307 No. Los Angeles St. WHOS WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS FRANK LYON POLK It is generally believed that Frank L. Polk, formerly under secretary of state in the Wilson administration, will be secretary to John W. Davis should the Democratic presidential nominee be returned the victor at the polls this fall. Polk, a warm personal friend of Davis' will play a leading part in the latter's campaign as assistant secretary of the campaign and Davis' personal aloe. Polk acquired his first experience in official Washington circles when he was named counselor to the state department in 1915 by President Wilson. Four years later he was named under secretary of state. While counselor Polk drew the title of "Lansing's legal eyes and mind" because of his invaluable aide to the then secretary of state. For a period of six months he served as acting secretary of state. He was head of the American Peace delegation to Paris in 1919. Polk comes of fighting stock. His grandfather, Leonidas Polk, fought in the civil war, as did Davis' father. The grandfather was known as "the fighting bishop," he having left the Protestant Episcopal Bishopric in Louisiana to accept a commission in Jefferson Davis' army. He rose to the rank of lieutenant general before meeting his death at Pine Mountain. Polk is a native of New York City and was born Sept. 13, 1871.

COMMENTS OF the PRESS What Editors Are Saying SIMPLICITY AMONG THE GREAT—San Bernardino Sun On a Vermont hillside under two sugar maples will some day lie the body of President Coolidge. That is his wish. Beside the boy that was "tucked away" a few weeks ago and under a small stone, simply inscribed. President Coolidge is one with his people in death as in life. Simplicity is an American trait. Foreigners are often struck by the American's love of simplicity, especially when that quality is found in public men. The body of George Washington, immortal father of his country, lies in an inconspicuous mausoleum at Mount Vernon. That was his wish. So simple are the tombs of such American leaders as Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Daniel Webster, James Monroe, Mark Tudain, William Penn and many others that few Americans know where they may be found. Theodore Roosevelt is buried at Oyster Bay on a quiet hilltop under the trees and a plain headstone. Our heroic tombs can be counted on the fluggers of one hand. Among them are the Grant tomb in New York and the crypt of Woodrow Wilson in the Washington cathedral, which is proposed as the American Westminster Abbey. Another great American on whose headstone there is no record of achievement, no encomium nor eulogy, is Benjamin Franklin, who is buried in a little cemetery in Philadelphia. The good doctor wished to be buried with as little pomp or ceremony as possible, and himself directed that a "marble stone be placed above me, to be made by Chambers, 6 feet long, 4 feet wide, plain, with only a small molding round the upper edge, and this inscription: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND DEBORAH, 178 The burial ground is surrounded with a brick wall which is said to be crumbling with age. It is one of the paradoxes of mankind's reverence for dead heroes that the simpler the memorial the less attention it receives. And yet there is much to commend this simplicity—all the more so when it expresses the character and wish of the man himself. Great and varied as was Franklin's life, he never lost the unaffected naturalness which was his birthright, even when he was the ideal of the most sophisticated court in Europe. Simplicity was part of his charm when living. It is part of the distinction of his final resting place. Plain Dealer Want Ads Bring Results 1925 1925 Star "Sport Coupe" It's a revelation in beauty.
