Thompson was interested, but Robb waa quiet and seemed drowsy. Suddenly he brightened up. “ T saw three of them playing marbles in front of the post office this morning,” he remarked. “ Whv, wligt’s the matter with vnu.

LET ME HELP MAKE The Children’s School Clothes The founding of the Sokol organi zation In Bohemia was the sounding of the reveille to a slumbering nation. Czech nationality In 1862 was somno lent. Even friends of the Hussite peo ple despaired of Its regaining Its sense o f freedom. The enemies of the race which. produced Comeulus openly sneered at the low estate to which the once proud nation had fallen. Then came Miroslav Tyre and Jln- drlCh Fugner, who conceived as a maans of awakening their race the es tablishment of an organization which would escape the antagonism of the Hapsburg oppressors while cementing thp people Into h unit by training them In discipline and organization. The Sokols, or falcons, derive their name from a Slav legend In which that bird typifies a spirited and courageous youth. The organization Is Slavic in conception and It has so far aided In energizing successive Slavic groups. It was the Czech Sokol spirit which united the thousands o f Bohemian war prisoners In Russia and, when the permission from Kerensky came, forged them Into the army which formed the spearpolnt o f the “ Keren sky offensive” In the summer of 1917. It was the Sokol spirit which actuated thousands of men In western Russia, who could almost see their native hills, to set out on the most marvel ous anabasis that World war has known, an adventure which culmi nated It) the capture of huge tracts of Siberia, and the return of the vet erans In American transports from Vladivostok to Trieste. The Sokolovna, or Sokol hall. Is not ouly the gymnasium for the men and women of Czeeho-SJovakla, but Is also the social and cultural center of the city or village. It has been through more than half a century of awaken iug natlbnallsm the hearthstone to which the Czech lares and penates have been fathered. historical and national Interest.

Hundreds o f thousands o f new ly enfranchised citizens had the privi lege of paying personal tribute to their newly elected chief, President Mas«- ryk The organization which was Instl- tnted under a hostile government to foster the physical and spiritual forces that make for manliness, simultaneous ]y forged the national forces which make for freedom. Freedom having been secured the same organization ulienites In strengthening the bonds that unite the new Czech state. N in e -F o o t M a n M a r r ie s 5-Foot W om an .

Sokol Gymnastic societies from What possible relation can there be between the disappearance of pickpockets and modern business courtesy. Police authorities know that pocket picking is virtually an ex tinct form of endeavor. A crude worker may still occasionally try to lift a watch at a county fair, but, generally speaking, this brand of thieving is no more. It has gone the way of buffalo laprobes, pug dogs, Sunday buggy rides, beef steak for breakfast and torchlight processions. Why? Because pocket picking is no longer a gainful occu pation. What has brought about the change? The attitude of the banks. They cater more than ever before to the small depositor. If a man wishes to open an account and start off with $2.50 or even less, he re ceives the same courteous consider ation that would be accorded the customer depositing thousands. Only a few years ago, a person with small savings looked upon bankers as a crusty lot and kept away from B e com e s N a tio n a l F e stiv a l. such institutions for fear of being Last year the seventh Sokol fes insulted. rival was held In Prague.
