'I riEf^S mm *.<< 1<I£L ' In the little pariph of Kirkbean in Scotland one of America's greatest heroes was born July 6, 1747. His family name was Paul and he was christened John. Later in life he was to add Jones to his name and become famous as a commander in the Continental navy whose brilliant achievements on the sea rivalled those of George Washington on the land. The 184th anniversary of John Paul Jones' birthday is marked as a date of significance to all Americans by the Division of Information and Publication of the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission. Every citizen of the United States has reason to be gjrateftol for the services of the first great American sea fighter. Young John Paul went to sea when but 12 years old, and at the age of 21 he was captain of a trader. In 1778 he came to America and settled on Ills brother's plantation in Virginia which he had inherited upon the death of the latter. It was here that j he first used the name Jones. j When tht break between England, and her colonies widened into actual warfare, Jones applied to Congress J for a naval commission which was . granted in December, 1775. That month, as a lieutenant In the new. Continetal navy, he is said to have hoisted with his own hands the first I naval flag of an American squadron. { This was the well known yellow silk banner with the rattlesnake and the warning, "Don't tread on me!" The young officer soon was given in independent commission in command of the little ship "Providence." With a crew of but seventy men and a dozen four-pound guns, Jones became a terror to British shipping, destroying a million dollars' worth of enemy property. Later, in the "Alfred," he continued his work, capturing valuable munitions intended for Burgoyne. He was commissioned captain October 10, 1776, and June U, 1776, ordered to the "Ranger." On this ship, July 4, he raised the first stars and stripes that ever flew from an American warship. In the "Ranger" he carried to Prance the news of Burgoyne's surrender and received the first salute ever given the United States flag by a foreign fleet. , From Prance Jones sailed to the north coast of England where he landed at Whitehaven, spiked the English guns, burned some shipping and thoroughly alarmed the country. This was the only invasion of British territory by an American force during the Revolutionary War- The most famous battle in which he was engaged was that which took place September 23, 1779, with the British man of war "Serapis" off Flamborough Head. At that time Jones was in command of an ancient ship which he had refitted in France and named "Bon Homme Richard" in honor of Benjamin Franklin. Despite the great odds against him the intrepid American unhesitatingly engaged the far superior enemy in a battle which has gone down in history as one of the greatest sea fights of all time. The rotten sides of the American ship were almost completely shot away when the English commander called on Jones to surrender. In reply he received the terse statement, "I have not begun to fight." Utterly dismayed at such courage, the Englishman struck his colors. Jones transferred his crew to the "Serapis," and the "Bon Homme Richard," completely shattered, sank to her glorious grave. After the Revolution John Paul Jones entered the service of Catherine of Russia where he again rev, aied his remarkable courage and ability as a sea fighter. Being the victim of intrigues by jealous Russian officers, Jones left that country and went io France where he died July 18, 1782. In 1905 his body was located and identified by the American ambassador to France. It was brought to this country and interred with full honors at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis.

By FANNIE HURST (It by McClure Newspapar Syndtost*.) t'WNTJ Servlc*.) Marion howland's baa?# ing house bad grown under her capable fingers from a small, sis-room dwelling in an obscure part of the city, to a twentyroom old mansion that had once bolonged to one of the prominent faow illes in the city. She was a worker of the kind of indefatigability that seems to be fed by the secret springs of a mysterious vitality. The boarders used laughingly to declare that Marlon Howland had some sort of a sixth sense by which she could detect that towels were lacking in Mr. Aver's room; a washstand was leaking in Miss Van Antrlp's room; the Gadsby youngster was scuffing the parlor woodwork or that the kitchen plumbing had developed a leak. With all these earmarks of efficiency for her work, Marion Howland was far from being the conventional landlady. She was a good-looking, well-preserved woman, who showed little of the wear and tear of her nineteen years of widowhood. Many of her boarders even loyally declared that from the rear you could scarcely tell her and her daughter Shirley apart. That, of course, was exaggeration, and Marion Howland was the first to laugh It away as such. She laughed a great deal, and her laugh was Infectious. Her boarders enjoyed these strains of her good-humor sounding through the hallways of the house, and as Shirley herself declared, she found her mother a better all-around companion than the majority of the younger people of her own set. And yet this "set" wns the pride of Marlon Howland's life. It represented the peak of her achievement It was the realization of one of the brightest of her Ideals. Shliv ley Howland's "set" was one that was planes removed from the realm of the boarding house in which she had been reared. Marion Howland had steadfastly set oat to keep her small daughter's life clear of as much as possible of the environment into which stress of financial circumstance had forced her. When the little Shirley was three years old, Marlon was already beginning carefully to see to it that her social affiliations were made outside the boarding house. The social world into which Marlon had married, only to be widowed before she had had time to place her foot on the rung of social advancement, was the one thing she coveted for her daughter, Marion herself had missed it, marrying from her role ol saleslady Into her brief period as wife of Kenneth Howland, well-known soclety- man-about-town. It was extraordinary that in all the lean, even ferocious years of her struggle as a widow, unexpectedly left penniless with a child to rear, how Marion's congenital good nature blossomed and the bloomed. Her struggle in the none too congenial atmosphere of the boarding house had left her anembittered. At forty she was personable, indeed highly attractive, and in no uncertain manner, successful. Her boarding house was known as a firstclass, conservative residence for firstclass conservative people. Her daughter, eighteen and lovely, had accomplished the miracle her mother had planned for her. Shirley moved In the first social realms of the city. Her friends were the daughters of the town's wealthiest and most exclusive, and never once, in her bright career as a society girl, was Shirley forced to feel inability to cope, in clothes at least, with the performances of her more prosperous girl friends. Inevitably, of course, there came times when the peculiarities of her environment embarrassed, but there, fortunately*agaln, Shirley was blessed with some of her mother's fine reslll-. ency of' spirit She had audacity, courage, and a fine, but not overemphasized pride that In many ways helped her somewhat anomalous situation. Shirley had her hearthurts all right, her secret regrets that her home background was not the home back- Suprama Joy ia Giving; A beneficent person is like a fountain watering the earth and spreading fertility; it Is therefore delightful and' more honorable to give than recelva.--• Eplcuris. • Fuel oh the Fire The great than who tfrtiiks of himself is not diminishing that greatness in heaping fuel on his .fire.--DisraelL r * it and sensed It deeply. It was inevitable then, as Shirley blossomed Into adolescence, that from time to time there should occur In the boarding house of shifting scenes and shifting personalities, little situations that were troublesome to Marion and to Shirley alike. For Instance, shockingly, It was rumored all over town, that young Hammond Johnson, an architect who had occupied Marlon Howland's third-floor front for over a period of three years, had drowned himself of despair over his hopeless passion for the daughter of his landlady, who treated him in the same aloof manner she -treated all of her mother's boarders. Calm, courteous, polite. * There had also been the rather difficult situation of Otis Qreer, a married man who had boarded with his wife In the Howland house for at least five years, confessing excitedly one night, while in his cups, to a dining room filled with boarders, that he desired to divorce his wife and marry Shirley Howland. taiiag and gs»wn *a»gfc»r complicat ed . agtatera. M«ra that, the boarders m bsgh&lif to take on a reptttful attitude teffliird the alleged n>oftbltfine8S of the daughter of the landlady. Marion, had It been a matter of choosing between the success of her boarding house and the necessity for Shirley to live more closely in Its environment, would have sacrificed the former. It was due to her own rigid discipline that Shirley had learned that her world, her mother's choice of world for her, must lie outside th< boarding souse. And in the end, all of Marlon's ..-a?** fully laid schemes for her daughter bore richer fruits than even she had dared to visualize. The sweet Shirley, impeccably lovely at eighteen, met, became engaged to and married, all within ten days, a young radio magnate who at thirty-two, socially secure, and full of the vitality that matched Shirley's, was already regarded as one of the Important financial men of the country. Overnight, Marion Howland's boarding house became a thing of the past, that is, In so far as Marlon's proprietorship was concerned. Llewellyn Lewes literally sold his mother-in-law's boarding house over her head, making, as he laughingly put it, a "fat profit" The first year that Shirley was married Marion's son-in-law, with a largesse characterised of him In everything be did, settled the modest nest egg of one million dollars upon her. As Marion herself was fond of explaining, it might just as well have been one-tenth that amount, since her reeled after the first one hundred thousand mark had been passed. But Marlon Howland, well set-upt attractive, full of energies and interests at forty-five, was thoroughly capable of entering her new estate. She bloomed with happiness in her own well being and in her daughter's. Her son-in-law was congenial to her. The new and dizzying environment of creature comforts in which she found herself was ever gratifying. Also, Marion Howland had known too much of the deprivation of life not to see to It that out of her own empty some of It poured into the empty hands of others. Marion, being mutually congenial to her daughter and son-in-law, was not permitted out of the regime of their household. The Llewellyn Lewes occupied, along with Marion Howland, a twelve-room suite on the top floor of the moat exclusive family hotel In town. Tet Marlon Howland was determined, that with the new life of ease, her interests were not to deteriorate. She determined to keep up her activities, and yet try as she would, there was something about the condition of being relieved from the routine of the running of the boarding house, that left her with a stranded feeling. Part of her credo was to interfere as little as possible In the lives and activities oi her two chlldrep, She insisted that they travel, go about, regardless of her, and refused to mingle more than casually In their social activities. One day, when the realization had settled quite definitely non Marion that she was on her own hands, and that time was beginning to pall, she did a characteristic thing and one that ultimately was to make her, in her own way, as nationally prominent as her son-in-law. Observing one day during the absence of her son-in-law and daughter on an European jaunt, that the family hotel in which they were living was run along lines that seemed inefficient she bought the hotel, paid for it onethird cash, and a few weeks later had established herself as proprietor. That was the beginning of the International hotel series now the Howland Ohaln. WJ »u every Saturday afteraoea, 2 to f p. m.

Yara Old Mace Liverwurst was sitting on the banister at the Verdigris river bridge last Sunday talking to some of his cronies. They were discussing the feat of the man who went over Niagara falls in a barrel. Mace said that was nothing--that he and Henry M. Stanley In their travels through darkest Africa went over Victoria falls In a canoe, and just as he made this remark he became overbalanced and fell into the cold water below the bridge. His cronies were greatly excited. Some one ran to a nearby place and got a rope, while another rang the fire bell. Soon Quite a crowd had gathered ana Mace was blowing bubbles and spouting water higher than a whale could have done. Finally, he was rescued and Mrs, Liverwurst was ready to receive him in ber arms as he walked-up the slippery bank to where she was standing. Mace assured her that there was no danger. She led her hero home so he could put on some dry clothing. We asked him the next day If he had noticed any Ill-effects from his Ice cold plunge, and he replied that he had not that tie hee-hawed for five minutes and said he certainly had the old lady scared for awhile. He said she was glad he was not drowned that she refused to let htm deliver the washings this week.
