In Duluth, L Minn., and In New 1 Orleans the roar of | traffic I* hushed. In the factories and i on the farms, men drop whatever tools * of trade are in their hands and— America ficeo Baaff For this Ih Armlstilce day and all over the United State* for the spae*

of two minutes Americans pause in their everyday tasks to pay reverent tribute to the dead. America faces East! And the thoughts of most of us. as we stand uncovered amid familiar surroundings. speed across the Atlantic to some hillside in France where, the longj rows of while crosses mark the last resting place of those who brought about the mighty event which we celebrat* on November 11. It may be at Romagne-s »usMontfaucon. where began that "soul trying struggle of many weeks between the Argonne forest and the Meuse, which lasted until the hour when Germany cried 'enough.* ” Or It may be in Flanders Held in Belgium or at Brookwood, England. for there, too, these gleaming markers stand guard over the sleep of American soldiers. Armistice day Is a day of remembrance—a day to recall that breathless moment nine years ago when a welcome message waa flashed to the waiting world. The message was contained in the ofllclaj news story sent out by the Associated Press, which reads as follows: “Washington. Monday. Nov. 11. 2:48 a. m.—The armistice between Germany, on one hand, and the allied governments and the United States, on the other, hat been signed. “The State department announced at 2:45 •’clock this morning that Germany had signed. “The department's announcement simply said: •The armistice has been signed.' “The World war will end this morning at 6 o'clock. Washington time, 11 o’clock Paris time. "The armistice was signed by the German representatives at midnight * “This announcement waa made by the State department at 2:50 o'clock this morning. “The announcement waa made verbally by an official of the State department In this form: " The armistice has been signed. U waa signed at 5 o’clock a. m.. Paris time (midnight eastern time) and bostilltiea trill cease at 11 o'clock this morning, Paris time, (6 o'clock eastern time). “The terms of the armistice will, not be made public until later." Armistice day ta a day of remembrance—not of the riotous scenes which took place and the mad frenzy of Joy which possessed the whole nation on the morning of November 11. 1918. when America's millions realised that It waa “over over there." not of the triumphal processions when the khakt-eiad millions returned borne in 1919 and 1920. It la • day for remembrance of those who did not return, who were destined never to bear the cheers of the multitude nor to kuow whether or not they had died in vain—America’s war dead. From its first observance Armistice day has taken on its memorial significance rather than * that of a day of rejoicing. There have been few more solemn momenta in the history of this country than on Armistice day. 1921. when' they brought America’s Unknown Soldier back to bis native law! and hurled him In Arlington. Though the thoughts of Individual Americans may turn to some one cross in a French cemetery where ties a brother or a aon or a husband, when the morning of November 11 dawns, America as a whole faces East and the observance of Armistice day centers around this national shrine, the Tomb, of the Unknown Soldier. For here is the common symbol for us all. And on this day we remember the words of President Harding, uttered uu that other armistice day: Wo do not know th« eminence of bla birth, but * we do know the glory of hie death. He died for Ms country, and greater devotion hath ho man than thin. He died angaestloning. uncomplaining, wltfc faith in bis heart and hope on bis Upe. that Ms country should triumph and its civilisation survive.

who iovea Justice and hates war. 1 speak as one who believes the highest function of government Is to give its eltixens the security of pesce, the opportunity to achieve, and the pursuit of happiness. As we return this poor clay to Its mother soil, garlanded by love and covered with the decorations that only nations cun bestow, 1 can sense the prayers of our people, of alt peoples, that this Armistice day shall mark the beginning of a new and lasting era of peace on earth, good will among men. Or we may remember that splendid tribute, written by Frank M. O'Brien, which appeared in the New York Herald on November 11. 1921. and which waa awarded ihe Pulitzer prize for the best editorial article of the year. In It he spuke for all Americans when he wrote of THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER That which takea place today at th« National com*ttry In Arlington to a symbol, a mystery and a tribute. It to an entombment only In the physical sense. It to > rather the enthronement of Duty and Honor. This man who died for hts country is the symbol of these qualities; a far more perfect symbol than any man could be whose name sad deeds we know. He represents more, reslly. than the unidentified deed, for we cannot separate them spiritually from the war heroee whose names are written on their gravestones. He — * this spirit whom we honor—stands for the unselfishness of all. This, of all monuments to the dead, is lasting and immutable. So long as men revere the finer things of life the tomb of the nameless hero will remain a shrine. Nor. with the shifts of time and mind, can there be a changing of values No historian shall rise to modify the virtues or the faults of the Soldier. He has an immunity for which kings aUght pray. The yearn may bring erosion to the granite hut not to the memory of the Unknown. It to n common weakneas of knmanity to ask the questions that can never be answered'la this life. Probably none to whom the drams of the Unknown Soldier ban appealed has not wondered who, in the sunshine of earth, was the protagonist of today's ceremoay. A logger from Penobscot? An orchard Ist from the Pacific coast? A well-driller from Texas? A machinist from Connecticut? A tod who left his hoe to rust among the Missouri corn? A longshoreman from Hell's Kitchen? Perhaps some youth from the tobacco fields resting again in hto own Virginia? All that the army tells ua of him to that he died ta battle. All that the heart tells is that some woman loved him. More than that no man shall learn. la this

sources of Alaska for a,time seemed unbounded, and prospectors, miner*, trappers and other travelers in the Far North killed the game in great numbers, with no thought of conservation. Finally, people interested in the propagation of American big game animals realised that Unless something was done to stop the wanton killing of the caribou and mountain sheep of Alaska, these animals weald be ts as

precarious a condition aa were buffalo and antelope a tew years earlier. It was especially important that some action be taken before the completion of the Alaska railroad brought increasing numbers of travelers and settlers to the region. So in 1917 the Mount McKinley National park was created and n new lease of life was given the game herds of the region. * Juat Couldn’t Help It “What makes yon laugh at your own jokes?" inquired a friend of

mystery, as in the riddle of the universe, the wise wonder; but they would not know. What were his dreams, his ambitions? Likely he shared those common to the millions, a life of peace and honest struggle, with such small success as comes to most who try; and at the end the place on the hillside among his fathers. Today to do honor at his last resting place come the greatest soldiers of the age. famous statesmen from other continents, the President, the high judges and the legislators of hto own country, and many m«n who, like himself, fought for the flag. At his bier will gather the most remarakable group that America has seen. And the tomb which Fate res«wved for him to. Instead of the narrow cell on the village hillside, one as lasting as that of Ramoses and as Inspiring as Napoleon**. It ia a great religious ceremony, this burial today. The exaltation of the nameless bones would aot be possible except for Belief. Where were Duty and Honor, the well-springs of Victory, if mankind feared that death drew a black curtain behind which lay nothing but the dark? So all tn whom the spark of hope has not died can well believe that we to whom the Soldier is a mystery are not a mystery to him. They can believe that the watchers at Arlington today are not merely a few thousands of the living but the countless battalions of the departed. “Though he were dead, yet shall he live"—there is the promise to which men hold when everything of this earth has slipped away. All the impressive ritual of today would be a mockery If we did not believe that, out In an Infinity which astronomers cannot chart or mathematicians bound, the Unknown Soldier and Ml the glorious dead whom we honor tn his dust are looking down upon this little spinning ball, conscious of our reverence. And when noon strikes, signal for the moment of silent prayer, few of those who stand with hared head will lack conviction that the rites at Arlington are viewed by other than mortal eyea Only in that spirit may we honor the Unknown Soldier and those who. like him. died for this Republic Unknown, but not unknowing! Armistice day this year trill have a „reater significance than ever before for the reason that among those who trill Join In Its observance are 10(1,900 or more members of the American Legion, who crossed the Atlantic in September to attend the annual Legion convention in Paris. While they were there they adopted a resolu ttoo to have Armistice day made a national legal holiday. For although it is generally observed ns a holiday in the United States, it has not yet been proclaimed as a national legal holiday. The following states have made It a legal holiday by legislative enactment: Alabama. Arizona, Arkansas. California. Colorado, Florida. Illinois, lowa. Louisiana. Minnesota. Missouri. Montana. Nebraska, New Jersey. North Carolina, North Dakota. Pennsylvania. Rhode Island. South Dakota. Tennessee. Texas. Vermont. Virginia, and the territory of Hawaii. In the other states It Is a legal holiday by governor's proclamation only. This "Second A. E. F“ to home now and its members are bringing with them the memories of their recent visit to those places where they made history nine and ten years ago. They’re bringing too, memories of their visit to the places where once they saw a hell of gunfire blast all signs ot life from the earth, but where now green grass grows as a vivid background for the long rows of white crosses—ln the OLse-Aisne. at St. Mihiet. In the Alsae-Marne. at the Somme and at Soresnes. And aa they remember reading on the crosses the name of some buddy, with whom they lived and laughed through it all until a burst of shrapnel signalled “partnership dissolved." It’s more than likely that Armistice day will take on a new meaning to them. What will that meaning be? A day -1 rejoicing that when others died they were spared? A day for envy of the peaceful sleep of those who hold the bivouac of the dead while they must face each day the troublesome problems of modern life? Or will It be a day for seeing dearly the folly of mankind who goes to war. the uselessness of war and for a high resolve that “this must not be again “ *

IT SEEMS that everything that can be done is being done to add another charm to the felt hah Now comes pyrography as the newest form of decoration. Some of us will recall when pyrography was a popular pastime for won*, en. To burn everything in sight became a fad. Few there were who did not present or receive Christmas gifts of burnt wood or burnt leather. In those days pyrography was done with a platinum needle-point which

had a bothersome paraphernalia of tubes and rubber bulbs, and the point had to be heated by a little alcohol flame. Well, the old-time apparatus has been done away with', for science has invented the electrically worked pyrography needle, or rather sets of needles, for each set is provided with three different points —fine, medium and stub —so that any desired effect may be produced. But to tell about the pyrographed hat: Under the magic touch of the pyrograph needle the humblest felt hat is transformed into a mode of distinction. and one aeedn't be an artist to accomplish results. If you cannot sketch your own design on the hat, buy a stamped pattern and transfer it in the usual way.

Another fashionable Idea that caa be carried out with the pyrography needle Is to scorch spots and stripes and blotches on the felt hat to simulate fur markings, such as leopard, tiger, zebra and calfskin.* also reptilian effects, for. as everybody knows, these are very popular in the mode. Here’s another Idee. Try outlining « design on a bit of velvet. It takes practice to produce good results, hot

i if properly worked the pyrography needle will turn velvet into brocade. If the present trend to tweed persists it is likely that this generation of fashionable women will have written itself into the pages of history s as having lived during “the tweed age.” lu many instances of modern sportswear, it is a case of tweed from head to foot. The tweed felt hat. the tweed scarf to match the tweed skirt, the tweeo coat, suit or dress; the sweater knitted

to look like tweed; shoes in leathe, that repeats a. tweed patterning and even silk and velvet fabrics printed in tweed effects—all this of tweed has entered into the style picture. Among those who are exploiting the tweed fad. is pretty Lois- Lorraine, who. as every screen fan knows, is carving a successful career for herself in movieiand. Miss Lorraine poses- for this illustration in her swagger tweed coat, wearing a pair of brown and tan checked oxfords of tweed which reveal a smaller pattern than that which figures in the coat. Whether one is the happy possessor of tweed shoes to match the tweed coat or not, one thing is certain, tweed coats “every day in every way" are growing handsomer and handsomer — and that without the aid of fur. too! Not that fur is taboo for trimming, for many of the very elegant tweed coats are fur trimmed. However, the tweed coat sans fur is about the smartest item registering on fashion's sportswear program. For these coats without fur, the rougher the surface of the tweed, the

Credit to Motorists? The automobile has been responsible for the development of a sturdier and incidentally a smarter race of roosters and chickens, according to Richard C. Haldeman. president of the Pennsylvania Motor federation. Haldetuan asserts that the large number of chickens killed on the roads during the early '‘days of the autobile age weeded out “mentally unfit roosters and hens.” He asserts that Instead of being blamed for the chickens which are still killed the motori- » should be thanked, for they are. aiding the farmer in developing a better grade of fowls.
