Ak-Sar-Ben Fall Pageant Is Spur to Patriotism Exhibits Will Inspire Love of Country, Writer Says— Change in Times Is Noted. By LET.Y MOORE MEYER. In connection with the pageant, "Patriotic Historic America,”, which John I.ee Webster is directing for Ak-Sar-Ben, to be given In October, many interesting warnings have been sounded as to the existence of a dangerous condition now and appre hension for the future. Macauley predicted we would be plundered in this century as Rome was in the fifth, only by vandals from within. Roosevelt said there were dark clouds on the horizon. Lin coln was apprehensive and doubted "whether this nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.” All the men on the pageant com mittee have said that at no time has there been so great a need of patri otic inspiration. Major General Dun can avows that propaganda from Moscow is working for our destruc tion. President Harding says hu manity has never faced a more com plex or difficult period and that de mocracy is not on trial, but some ol those who profess democracy are. Leader Is Needed. Henry D. Estabrook said: “I know not If the times are ripe, or If events are merely gathering to a head; but soon there must come someone—some Washington in the field or some Marshall in the forum—who will sound the trumpet that wi\l once more rally us to the defense of the ^ law.” Nicholas Murray Butler says; ‘‘There is under way in the United States at the present time a definite and determined movement to change our representative republic into a so cialistic democracy.” Senator Shep pard says our liberty is threatened by plutocracy on one hand and radi calism on the other. Mr. Webster says he does not be lieve we are in danger of destruc tion. but he believes it the duty of every American to strive earnestly for ‘‘the maintenance and improve ment of our present high standard of civilization.” In this connection an experience of my own is significant. Some five years ago, in the office of the editor of Harper's magazine In New York, I was told that they were greatly in need of articles on art, literature, and all cultural subjects. They would have nothing about the war or any thing timely, as their readers were the cultured, highly educated class. Is Different Now. Not two years ago I was In the same office. The venerable editor had passed on. Everything was changed. A dapper, stripling editor told me that if anything on art or with literary quality was sent in they would not even read it. He went over the contents of the current number and pointed out that every article was written to expose something, ^y usually by someone who had made soma official repon, anywhere in the world. But the best thing of all, he said, was an article written by a college girl, wealthy, of high social posi tion. She had been going about as a worker in one industry after an other, in hotel, factory, etc., then ex posing the frightful conditions she thought she found. I later waded through one of her miry articles to see what I must emulate and found it a vitrolie attack on all people of wealth, founded on isolated triviali ties. The editor said it was the best and most popular thing they could get and the hardest to secure. "Write things like that,” he said, "and every editor in New York will grab it. Ex pose something, anything that is rich and powerful, or else write fiction. Only the two things are wanted now. ‘ Asked if they now had a different class of readers, he replied. “No, but that class has changed its tastes and ideas.” When I visited the editors of others of the best magazines pub lished in New York, they practically confirmed his opinion.

Rough-Hewn Dorothy Canfield | (Continued From Yesterday.) SYNOPSIS. Neale Crittenden, a typical, red-blooded American youth, lives with his parents in Union Hill, a tillage neur New York city. While attending preparatory school, and later Columbia university, he takes an active part in all kinds of athletics. In France, Marise Allen, a vear or two younger than Neale, lives with her Amer ican parents in the home of Anna Ktcher rary, a French woman. Marine's father Is foreign agent for an Amermican busi ness firm. Jeanne Ainigorena Is an old French servant In the Allen family. Marise applies herself diligently to the study of music and French and wins a price In a musical contest. While awuy visiting. Marine's mother sees n close friend killed by a fall from a high cliff :md dies from nervous shock. Hack in America, Neale finishes liU junior year at the university. Neale's father is con sidering a business trip to 8011th America and the West Indies for the firm b> which he la employed. In the twilight of the maples Neale was doing some thinking. Mother had been married when she was his age; with all her life before her, and she'd never had a bit of it till now; only Union Hill and more Union Hill. And father, too. . . He mur mured something muffled and in articulate, which made no particular sense to the ear, but which father understood, and answered with some vehemence, “No, Great Scott, no, Neale! Don't think that! Heavens, no! I didn’t mean we'd sacrificed anything for you—we just got into a rut, the way people do, and stayed there so long we began to think we couldn’t get out and’now when this opportunity comes, your mother wanted to make sure it's all right with you, that's all! Your mother and I, you’ve been a great comfort to us. We don’t want . . .’’ He was almost as- muffled and in articulate as Neale, but Neale under stood him, and reaching for his hand, gave it a hard grip. He did not try to say anything now. The two men, silent under the old maples that had sheltered their ehildhood, exchanged a quick glance of understanding and affection, nearer to each other now, at the moment of parting than ever before. Then they went back to the house, silent as Iroquois, Hnd Neale went in to where his mother was playing dreamily on the old piano, to tell her bluntly that he would not in the least mind their leaving 1'nhm Hill, since he could be at home very little in any case during his senior year. She turned around on the piano stool to listen to his sober slatement, and to look at the great fellow, tower ing up over her. "Yes, you're grown up now, Neale, aren't you?" she said faintly, putting a hand out towards him and he knew he had hurt her by his bluntness. And yet it was the truth he told her, and also what she wanted to hear. He could not take it back. But he did stoop to her and take her in his big arms for a little-boy hug. Father came in then and they lighted the lamp and tried to talk a little about what Neale was going to do to earn his living when he grad uated. Thpy had often tried to talk cf that. But they never got very far, and no farther this time than any other. Neale had no ideas on the Rubject, and being Neale, he would not Imaginatively play up to what was expected of him. and say he had. No, he did not feel that-he would like to he a doctor. No, cer tainly not a lawyer! He wouldn't mind engineering, but the old grads in his Frat, who were engineers seemed to have a way of turning up out of a job every once in so often. He didn't think much of a profession where you were so entirely at the mercy of people with money. It whs too much like being a turtle thnt bad 1o wait for somebody to turn It over before It could go on Its way. I'ather looked at him rather queeriy and remarked that he’d find It difficult to get any work in the modern world; where he wouldn't bo at the mercy of people with money. Neale said, he thought very per tinently, “Grandfather never has been.” The upshot of the talk was. as it always was, that they agreed once more to let things run on and per haps something would turn up. The next morning father and moth er went back to New York to finish the preparations for their adventure. Mother cried a little when sjie kissed Neale goodby, but grandmother kissed her son without a quiver, though she clung to grandfather's arm. She and grandfather and Neale and old Si and Jennie stood in the front yard looking after the carriage. It was almost like seeing a newly married pair go off after the wed ding. Neale's mother kept turning to look back at them, her April face like a bride's, colored through tears by excitement and anticipation. Neale stood up, taller than his tall old grandfather now, broad, massive, his tanned face like a man’s. But, to his amazement, there awoke in his heart for the last time, a little boy, a little boy wh<r was frightened and grieved at being left alone. CHAPTER XXVIII.

Mastering Nature’s Forces i Without the telephone “repeater,” the entire electrical power available on the earth would not be sufficient to make trans-continental speech com mercial Iy possible. The three thousand repeaters now in use on Bell System long distance lines have increased the talking range of every telephone by thousands of miles. By making possi ble the use of smaller gauge wires, re peaters have kept down the cost of equipment by millions of dollars. The repeater is only one out of scores of scientific developments of equal or greater importance in the advancement of telephone service. Bell System progress has been a con tinual encounter with seemingly im possible barriers, and a continual finding of new ways to overcome them. Each step in extending the range of speech has come only after years of study. Each important piece of tele phone apparatus has had to he created for the need. Each work ; day this pioneering goeson. Nature is harnessed to a new duty and mechanical in genuity improves the tools of service^ as fast as science finds the way. Not only is the Bell System daily conducting research within its own nation-wide organization, but it is studying the discoveries of the whols world of science for their possible ap plication to telephone service. Only by such eternal vigilance has the United States been given the best and cheap est telephone service in the world. “Bell System” 1 Northwestern Bell Telephone Company — One Policy.

This natural cleanser is free from hard, sharp grit, lye or acids and consequently doesn’t roughen or redden the skin. Old Dutch doesn't grind dirt in; it removes it quickly and easily. Old Dutch is economical. Only a little is needed to do a great amount of cleaning because the flaky particles being flat in shape cover more surface than gritty particles. You'll find Old Dutch the best aid in cleaning of all kinds. It re moves the dirt, not the surface. Use it on crockery, tins, basins, tubs, stoves, sinks, tables, walls and woodwork. Old Dutch will not roughen or redden your hands little of home, and had occasionally felt irked to know that his parents expected him to make a Bemi-regular appearance there, Neale found New York rather queer and empty at first with no back-ground whatever but the football houBC, He encountered something of the. same queer, g-one feeling as he lined up in the first game of the sason with all of the trusted Old Guard disappeared, with no Tod McAlplne beside hint, on whom to leave the re sponsibility for the outcome of events. Of all the old supermen in whom he had put his trust, only Marshall the captain was still there, at right guard. Things looked black to Neale. Such raw beginners could never hold to gether against any seasoned team. And yet they did. Week after week of the early season, they registered victory after victory, never with sen sational scores, but with steady de fense that kept their goal line un croased, with drive enough to punch out a touch down of their own. It came to Neale aiowly that this was no kid team after all. It had about the usual proportion of seasoned play ers and recruits; only now he was one of the old timers. It came to him also that Bunny Kdwards the Soph quarter was obviously trusting in him as he used to trust in Tod Me Alplne. At first It was horrl/ylmt to Neale to have some one depending on Mm!
