OUR WAY
/ Very Welcome
We fear we are going to become real fond
of Queen Marie before she gets through with this
American visit. We can feel ourselves slipping right
now. The queen, yon see, is a wheedler, • and we
never could hold out against wheedlers. “ I lovp
/America,” said Marie before she had* even been
introduced to the Goddess of Liberty, “ and I want
you all to love me and take me to your heart.” .’
How are you going to resist an appeal like thatf
It can’t be done. Ordinarily we don’t care much
for queens except when they come in sets of three.
In such cases they demand a certain amount of re
spect. And if they happen to be reinforced by a
good, solid pair you feet inclined to back them right
up to the limit of your immediately available re
sources. But single queens who. sit on thrones and
wear crown jewels and really believe that heaven
has endowed them with a superior quality of blood
ordinarily leave us a little cold.
Queen Marie, however, brings such » pleas
ant smile, such a gift of blarney and such an engag
ing personality ’ that one is inclined to forget the
queen and think of the charming and clever woman
Who refuses to be hidden behind the title. It is
evident from the reasons she assigns for her Ameri-
can visit that Marie has been at considerable pains
to learn something of America, which is more than
can be said of a good many Europeans coming to
pay ua a visit. She doesn’t know America, but she
evidently knows a lqt about i t -
Before she leaves we trust America will have
reciprocated by learning something more about
Roumania which to most of us' represents chiefly
one of the more difficult lessons in geography.

Some Facts About George Washington
Because of recent press notices regarding Mr.
Rupert Hughes’ biography of one George Washing
ton, this column feels it a duty to point out to its
great family of readers just who this gentleman was
and the place he occupies in our national history-.
Mr. Washington Jived dpryi^ the latter half of
the eighteenth century, coming Into some promi
nence between 1776 a n d *1883. It was like this: The
thirteen original colonies had decided to out loose
from the mother country, Great Britain, and to
paddle for a while their own cancfe. In order to do-
this a war was necessary. It proved to be quite an
extended conflict and, like all well-fought wars,
required generals and majors and sergeants and
privates and even lieutenants. It also called for a
commander-in-chief. It takes a real man to be a
commander-in-chief. In this particular war (which
has been callen the War of American Independence,
of the Revolution), the people turned to Washing
ton. We can’t take our readers through all the
details of the next seven or eight years, but suffice
it to say that George Washington came through
very well. There were times when nearly every
body else was willing to call it quits and return to
) British fold, but not George. As a matter of fact,
George won the war -and we became, theoretically,
a free nation.
Later they wanted to crown Mr. Washington
King George I, but he was off royalty for life,
so they elected him president' He served two terms.
The folks insisted on electing him a third time but
again he called a democratic halt — and no man
lias ever been able to. get a third term since, though
some have looked longingly in that direction. Mr.
Washington spent a tranquil period of years in his
home down south and finally passed serenely out
of the picture. They called him the Father of His
Country then. They have called him that ever since.
According to the recent biography referred to
above, Mr. Washington did, now and then, take
drinks of wine and of whiskey and of rum. He also
drank tea. Furthermore, he resorted to profanity .
on occasions. For instance, he once swore at one of
his generals who seemed to be trying to betray
his country and throw the war to the British. Mr.
'Washington, too, is said to have had several love
affairs while yet in his ’teens and early twenties.
Taken all in all, Mr. Washington was quite
human.

mind and write down honestly what has been reveal

In the midst of one of her long

“Hello, Billy,” said Lydia, look

him.

Amoa suddenly burst forth,

Lydia, flushing uncomfortably,

onslaught on the waffles during the
recital.
“Gaod news, eh, AmosF he said.
“Getting anxious, Isn’t h e!” Then,
catching Lydia’s look of'consterna

voice that had both reproof and
warning In IL
“So Marshall’s worried,” repeat
e d John. “Well, It behooves him
to be. I don’t know what he’ll do
when the Indians are gone."
“Mr. Levine," asked Lydia,
“where’ll the Indians go7”
John shrugged his shoulders.
“Go to the devil, moat of them.”
“Oh, but that seems terrible!”
cried Lydia.
“No more terrible than the way

“Fine!” exclaimed John.

“Bnt I wanted to talk to yon about

“I guess we’d better do that an
