CELLULOID SONNETS PEARL WHITE I've sat up nights to marvel at the charm That seems to hang about your fair young life ; It matters not how strenuous the strife, Nor how my heart goes thumping with alarm, You struggle through without a trace of harm ; Though death and doom on every hand are rife In bomb or bullet, poison, rope or knife. You never even lose a leg or arm! A charm protects you, that is plain to see Such perils would not pass by chance alone. Old Death exempts you from his stern decree.

In the next room, John’s young daughter was crying shrilly, while her brother, but slightly older, pounded a dishpan with a potato masher. . In the apartment above, a party of Brobdingnagians in hobnail boots were dancing the maxixe to an accordion accom- paniment. Across the hall the Foghorn twins were bellowing lustily; and below stairs some one appeared to be demolishing a large and very tough range with a sledge-hammer.

(Adv) We Are Prepared Within the wide boundaries of our country, embracing more than three million square miles, dwell a hundred million people. They live in cities, towns, villages, hamlets and remote farms. They are separated by broad rivers, rugged | mountains and arid deserts. The concerted action of this far- flung population is dependent upon a common understanding. Only by a | quick, simple and unfailing means of intercommunication could our people be instantly united in any cause. In its wonderful preparedness to | inform its citizen. of a national need, the United States stands alone and unequaled. It can command the entire Bell Telephone System, which completely covers our country with its network of wires. This marvelous system is the result of keen foresight and persistent effort on the part of telephone specialists, who have endeavored from the first to provide a means of communication embracing our whole country, con- necting every state and every com- munity, to its last individual unit. The Bell System is a distinctly American achievement, made by Americans for Americans, and its like is not to be found in all the world. Through it, our entire population may be promptly organized for united action in any national movement, whether it be for peace, prosperity, philanthropy or armed protection. y AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES One Policy One System Universal Service THE DEWEY HOTEL (amin. 5.°e ‘The most homelike hotel In Washington with every modern ce and appointment.
