S the establishient of Old
Fashioned American Home
' B JOHN W. WEEZS, Secretary of War
The nation is gradually putting its house into
order, but neither the President by executive decree
nor the congress by the enactment of legislation can
wholly return the country to a normal state.
The solution of our problems, both social and in
dustrial, will not be very difficult when the citizen
himself decides to return to a state of normalcy; and it N
is in this connection that the church, I think, has a
duty to perform, the importance of which cannot be
over-emphasized.
The first line of defense of the republic from the
.without and the enemy within is not the navy nor the army, but Ia
Thiu great nation was founded on the little group of sturdy %T

weakening the very foundation of the republic. ft

The habits of centuries are strong
among the pollus. N'wertheles, the re

of plans for model towns to .replace
those destroyed have been appearing

periodicales for some time, and one of
the latest projects will be tried out
as an experiment, with the financial
backing of an American committee.
This plan was prepared wider the

In order to further the work of re

tives did not favor the idea of having
Pinon used as a model village, but
after long discussions they decided
to let La Renaissance des Cites create
one for them. The general plans were
drawn up by Charles Abella, a winner
of the much coveted Prix de Rome in
architecture. An American committee
has been formed to get funds from the
United States to be expended in the
reconstruction of Pinon. This com
mittee has representatives in many
large American cities. The committee
plans to turn over to the French or
ganization an amount sufficient not
only to rebuild one devastated town.

war victims with permanent shelter.
The planners continue with their
work, but some of the old natives are
reluctant to take up these "newfangled

Army and navy officers who wit

we really do. Of course, most people
know that zebras are something like Il

"The zebras look like tlhat, not the w

they are much smaller than horses. as

haven't tails such as animals have,

the kinds of tails we have, and that 0
they're tails all right, even if they
don't look like the tails of anlmals. A
"And why should they look like the
the tails of animals? We aren't ani
mals and so there is no reason why
we should have tails as they have.
"But still I did say that we had tails n0
something like the tall of a zebra as it
far as Raving a good long tall was T
concerned. 01
