Unfortunately there is a great deal of truth in the charge which Mr. Pierâ€" son makes. The average American is forgetting his government, or is perâ€" haps taking it foo much for granted. The average citizen is forgetting to go to the polls with increasing freâ€" quency. â€" He reads the newspapers and is free to criticize the conduct of the government in his club, his office or his home, but he fails to do anyâ€" thing about it, and registers his disâ€" gust by remaining away from the polis which is of course, exactly the wrong thing to do. i â€" A local farm mortgage concern tells [ a Nonpareil representative that he has \a rather unusual individual loan recâ€" | ord.

But much of it has heen adapted in our speech as have some of the quaint but unorthodox expressions of Kipling. "The multiplicity of new activity which our modern life enjoys requires its special language and we have the slang of aviation, sports and even science. The best of it ultimately finds its way into the dictionary." Policeman David Lenahan, a rookie, shouted after a speeding car: "Stop or I‘ll shoot!" The auto sped on. Lenahan drew his revolver and fired one shot. His aim was poor, and he wounded himself in the leg. An amâ€" bulance took him to the sipsital.
