WAR FEVER It is the lack ot intelligence of the common pe.iplp that makes war pos- sible. They prefer to gather in mobs and permit the ollieial war pranio- ters lo excite them into a One frenzy ill Wi'iich all their senses are para- lyzwl except thoo that function for ilisorder and violence. They fall to give themeslves a chance lo think. If they did they would realize that the t''.iiiig into which they are being pleasingly cajoled is one of the most terrible catastropliies in human ex. PL'rience, a senseless; shambles in which thousands of human bodies will be tortured, exposed to Iho mot Jior- r'lde hardships, subjected to an. gui.shing wounds or blown to pieces, all to satisfy the bombastic ambitl. ens of an individual who has become unreasonable through his own van:ty and craze for power. • â€" Wellaiid Tri- bune.

Dave Komonen, the "flying Finn" as many call him, is one of North .America's fastest long distance run- ning champions. Dave came to Canada tl years ago from Kaki, Salmi. Finland." He en- tered his first race 10 years ago. at that time being in tho Finnish army. From U)2t!-;n ho had to retire from the running game due to a weak stomach. Dave is 37 years of age and before taking up running in a serious way he, played soccer and won a ski championship. Mr. Komonen is tho hol.ler of many titles. He' has humlreds of medals and trinkets awarded him for his many spectacular victories. He won the London marathnn in lO;"! and the Boston marathon in III;M, the Boston marathon being a distance of 'JO „iilcs, US.") yards, which he covered in '2 hours, 33 minutes and oS and 4-5 seconds. He is 'the United States National A. A. A. n-mi\e champion. This title he ' won in Washington against a field of 1J8 of the best long distance run- ners on the North American con- tinent. Dave Is one of those really modest men who shuns the limelight, always praising the other fellow. He believ- es that he will be able to capture many more races in the future, if only his old stomach will behave. i'ou can t lio wrong c.iioosing m sailor dress like this for school age daughter.
