America at Versailles
Stairs to Have Steps Marked
for Every State.
Paris, France. — On the occasion
of the mass pilgrimage of thousands
of World war veterans of the Amer
ican Legion of France this summer
for the dedication of the battle mon
uments, a new shrine will be dedi
cated at Versailles to honor Franco-
American co-operation in building
world democracy.
The site was chosen because of
its important historic significance
in Franco-American collaboration.
It was there that Benjamin Frank
lin pleaded for open support by
France to the struggling colonies in
the American war of independence.
It was at Versailles that support
and recognition were granted to the
new - born American republic and
war declared against Great Britain
to help Americans carry their
movement to victory. And it was
here that the Versailles treaty set
tled the terms of peace when Ameri
ca had come to the aid of the allies.

lations. It will consist of a mount
ing tier of stairs of the same huge
width as those at the Palace of
Versailles, flanked by forty - eight
blocks of marble down which a
cascade will flow constantly. Each
marble block will represent a state
of the Union, whose name will be
carved upon it. Fountains will play
at the foot and the summit of the
long staircase. At the Hop a statue
of Gen. Pershing seated on horse
back will face toward Paris and
the World war battlefields to the
north. A large park will be located
behind the statue, part of which
will be used as a playing field for
the children of Versailles.
At the foot of the stairs, at the
junction of the Avenue de Ver-
gennes—the foreign minister during
the American Revolution who was
responsible for the decision to give
material aid to the new republic-r
and the Rue de Benjamin Franklin,
a big place will be formed. It will
be named the Rond-Point des
Estats-Unis. Acros~ the square and
facing the stairway will be the sta
tue of Lafayette, which will be trans
ferred from its hidden stand in
Paris and incorporated in the new
monumental scheme.
Pershing Aid Active.
The movement for the construc
tion of the monument was started
by the mayor of Versailles, Henry
Haye. Haye is also a French sen
ator and was the first officer at
tached to Gen. Pershing's staff dur
ing the war. He formed part of
the military mission to the United
States after the declaration of war.
Money will be raised throughout
France in the form of a celebra
tion of America's national holiday,
July 4. On that day street collec
tions and demonstrations will take
place in every town and village and
the money will be utilized to com
plete the contributions of individ
uals, the town of Versailles and
other French groups.
Tons of Dog License Tags
Used in New York State
Albany, N. Y.—Four tons of dog
licenses and tags are being distri£
uted among the city, town and coun
ty clerks of New York itate by the
state dog licensing bureau.
Besides tabbing every dog in the
state, the bureau also serves as a
"missing person" bureau for dog-
dom.
Its success in restoring missing
pets to their owners has established
an interstate reputation for the bu
reau. Recently a pedigreed terrier,
found injured in Detroit, was re
stored to its owner in Buffalo
through the medium of the bureau.
One of the ace cases of the bureau
concerns a dog found swimming in
the Atlantic ocean off the Maine
coast. The dog was identified and
returned to its New York state own
er.
Excepting the cities of New York
and Buffalo, there are 407,000
tagged and identified dogs in the
state. New York and Buffalo license
their dogs independently.

DELIVERANCE
FROM SELF
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
One of the most difficult personal
achievements is to be able to for
get one’s self.
However people
may differ in
their theological
definitions of sin,
in essence, sin is
selfishness. The
cause of much of
the world’s mis
ery and suffering
comes from giv
ing first consid
eration to one's
own personal de
sires and ambi
tions with no
thought of the
considerations of others. There are
circumstances in which we sooner
or later may experience "to our bit
ter cost the curse of self-obsession."
If a man would have friends, he
must show himself friendly. Self-
MUST A GIGOLO”
Edward Blau, age eighty-three, is
"just a gigolo," he admitted to Chi
cago police when he was arrested
and held on • complaint of Mrs.
Elizabeth Stout, of Princeton, N. J.,
charging Blau with obtaining from
her $700 in cash, two diamond
rings, worth five hundred dollars, in
addition to owing her a $360 board
bill. At the police station Blau
scoffed at the lady's accusations,
saying, "Fact is, she gave the money
and jewels because she wanted to
be petted and I petted her."
obsession drives people from us
rather than attracts them to us. One
may become so absorbed in his own
interests that he is calloused to the
most urgent human appeals. Com
plete self-absorption kills the finer
impulses and destroys both peace
of mind and happiness. "If happi
ness have not her seat and cen
ter in the breast, we may be wise
or rich or great^but never can be
blessed."
Nervous breakdowns and mental
aberratiofis are frequently due to
that state of introversion which re
sults in self-pity and depression. Psy
chology informs us that this is one
of the most difficult mental ailments
to cure. Not only does self-absorp
tion work havoc with our psychic
centers, but it also seriously af
fects our characters. Self-compla
cency makes a man so satisfied with
himself and his own righteousness
that he becomes oblivious to his own
faults. And we all have our faults
as well as our virtues. Self-right
eousness confesses no wrong and
therefore, seeks no forgiveness and
gives none.
Egotism, another form of self-ob
session, makes one exaggerate his
abilities and eliminate from the
process of serious sef-correction his
faults. The egotist is insensible to
the world’s need for full use of all
his talents. A celebrated author
would never permit one of his books
to rest on his library shelves lest
it make him self-satisfied with his
present achievements.
The egotist talks much about his
good and great deeds, the hard
tasks he has completed, the hard
ships endured, the victories won.
Until people will cease being ab
sorbed in self, there is the need of
deliverance from self.
But how are we to be deivered
from self? That is the question. We
are so much a part of ourselves, it
is really a difficult matter to put self
into one compartment of being that
becomes, as it were, the clearing
house of all that pertains to self-
appraisal and self-progress. One of
the surest ways to forget self is to
serve others. One can lose himself

T OVE is all mixed up with house
L-* plans and samples of chintz in
a young lady’s thoughts. So when
her young man pops the question,
he really shouldn’t be nonplussed
when she answers in terms of Chip
pendale chairs or broadloom car
peting.
We have a friend who is head over
heels in decorating her new home
now. But there are problems: The
living room, for instance—the walls
are of white, the carpeting bur
gundy, the Queen Anne sofa green
damask, one chair is in off-white
leather and one in amethyst velvet.
She can’t decide about diaperies.
Would yellow gold antiqye^attn-with
an eggshell figure in it be all right?
These will go over off-white Vene
tian blinds. The fireplace is off-white
and stands against a wall paper
panel that is papered in an apple
blossom design on a white ground.
There are green leaves in the design
for color. Another problem that per
plexes this bride is the flowers to
use in the room. Very rightly she
realizes that they should be part
of the decorative picture. Her vases
are white Venetian glass (a pair of
them) and a green pottery. And
would we advise brackets on either
side of the fireplace, she asks;
if so, should they be gold, white or
mahogany.
We agreed about the draperies—
jellow and eggshell would be just
right here. As for flowers—we’re in
clined to like the idea of the yellow
note here too—yellow tulips or jon
quils or forsythia in the spring, yel
low roses in the summer and in the
autumn yellow chrysanthemums.
And we'd like gold brackets on
either side of the fireplace.
Isn’t that wall paper panel around
the fireplace a nice idea—it could
be worked out also as a frame for
an interesting piece of furniture.

Feeling Sorry.
If you were once a smartly
turned out girl with a job, com
plete as to manicure and wave and
time to dangle your legs in front of
a soda fountain on a spring evening
. . you probably feel pretty sorry
for yourself sometimes now when
you’re at the beck and call of door
bells, children, washing machine
and dish pan, not to mention the
butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker (well anyway, the bill
collector from the light company.)
A lady with a house does have
her ups and downs. Because little
boys will draw pictures on the walls.
And little girls will cut paper dolls
all over the living room floor. And
there are always so many more Im
portant things to do with money
than to buy waves and smart new
dresses. And there’s never a free
minuta to catch your breath.
Still and all, the smartly turned-
out girls with jobs are getting their
waves and smart new dresses just
in hopes they’ll get a chance to be
at the beck and call of all the things
that get you down around the house!
So it looks as if we were all going
around in circles.
■fThe fact of the business is that
running a house, even at its most
hectic, is the thing a woman does
best and most naturally. And rais
ing a family is the really thrilling
in the ministry of human need. Find
