Realizing that there are always people who long to be leaders, or who feel some talent that has never been recognized, and need only the right chance to win a new and desirable self-respect therefrom, the Commission encourages all such people to bring their desires for consideration. It was the resultant discovery of new talent in the city which brought about the threeday pageant staged in one of the parks. Composed entirely of local volunteer effort, it gave entertainment to thousands of people, work and enthusiasm to over a thousand performers, and cost one-tenth of the amount usually expended for such affairs. Many new leaders were discovered and various branches of recreation work enriched. The idea that leisure hours of profit and happiness make the working hours fuller of contentment is gaining recognition. From all sides are now coming offers of money or service; the young women who go to the crowded or desolate places to tell stories do their share along with the big business houses which send their material contributions. The passing of the nest-egg has caused no consternation, for voluntary gifts have made it possible for the work not only to continue but to increase in scope. During the coming year the work will be carried on in this city of 180,000 people for $10,000. Among the foreigners there is a new interest in their adopted country. They no longer dread each stranger as "the Government" come to spy upon them, but are coming in closest touch with friendly Americans who show the way without patronizing and give them a chance to show the utmost that is in them, that something which struggles for expression. A BONUS NOT WANTED The American Legion and the American soldier and sailor seem to wish to be paid in dollars for having served their country at its time of need. In the local post of the American Legion of which I am a member men are both for and against this bestowal of public money by the representatives of the people. Personally I do not believe in the bonus. I do not believe that it is needed by the men who went to war and returned physically fit to make their livelihood. It is of course natural that the man who served at personal sacrifice should feel his financial loss keenly, yet the ruling spirit that has made America great has been the public sacrifice of all her citizens. Do we want to have our legislators grant us a bonus to get and to hold our votes? We want men in our higher offices who will not stoop to bribery, and who will be men enough to see that all men wounded in this war are given immediate financial support and education. Do the members of the American Legion wish to spoil the great appreciation felt by every man, woman, and child by having self-seeking politicians give them dollars wrung from the great American public? I don't believe that the true American wants to capitalize his service or wants to be paid in dollars for his service to his country-the best country in the world today. Labor wrung its toll from the American people, and so did certain profiteers; but the American soldier and sailor, the American of to-morrow, should have higher principles... WEBSTER RICHARDSON. 15c and 35c per Package Fire Dogs You remember the old story of the bright, new, shiny andirons? The new andirons made the room look shabby, so it was repapered and painted and then the furniture had to be reupholstered and new rugs laid. The living-room thus "redone" made the rest of the house look shabby, and when the whole interior was refurbished, a new shingled roof and fresh painting induced the building of a larger veranda and a new garage, with lawns and hedges fixed up. All of this to match the new andirons. When a man advertises a new feature, he has bought new andirons. Thereafter he wants to improve not only the goods, but the package. With a better product he wants an improved service and a stronger organization, both inside and outside his plant. To boast of an improvement gives hostages to the public that other improvements will follow. Business institutions, like men, grow upon what they feed. Have you any new andirons in your plant?

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE Whether or not the Democratic Administration's friendliness for those who live by their pens, as manifested in diplomatic appointments, has anything to do with it, evidently the Republican publicists intend to lend their organized aid to the party of their choice in the forthcoming campaign. Equally evidently the Republican National Committee has welcomed the rallying of the writers, as well it may. Saturday and Sunday, April 24 and 25, witnessed a notable get-together meeting of writers, publishers, journalists, cartoonists, and moving-picture directors at Atlantic City-men who, whatever their past affiliations, are convinced of the present necessity of returning the Republican party to National control. It was called a "Republican Week-End," and the National Committee was the host, although none of its members, and no professional political workers whatever, were present. The guests were given free rein; it was distinctly their own 66 party." The reason for the gathering, as outlined in the invitations, was "that the coalescing of these elements will produce a force of incalculable value to stimulate public responsibility throughout the country." Three writers were primarily responsible for the plan and its successful culmination-Owen Johnson, Richard Washburn Child, and Porter Emerson Browne. Other members of the Committee were George Ade, Rex Beach, Ethel Barrymore, Edna Ferber, Don Marquis, John McCutcheon, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Booth Tarkington, and William Allen White. "The Republican party doesn't have to be compared with perfection: Fortunately, B & B 1920 A mere touch will end it— So with corns A spot on your hand is ended with a touch of soap. You don't cover it and keep it. A touch of Blue-jay ends a corn, as easily and surely. Then why pare and coddle corns, and let them stay for years? Millions of people nowadays end all corns in this way: They drop on liquid Blue-. jay or apply a Blue-jay plaster. The ache stops. The toe. from that moment is comfort able. And shortly the entire corn loosens and comes out. The method was perfected in this world-famed laboratory. It is gentle, scientific, sure. It is now the recognized, the model way of dealing with a corn. It means to those who know it a lifetime without corns. It you let corns spoil happy hours, you should learn the folly of it.
