A. Edward Newton, who lives in
Philadelphia. manufactures electri-
cal lnstrurnents for a living and col-
lects books for fun, has been writ—
ing of his experiences house-hunt-
ing in London. immediately one will
wonder. why house-hunting in Lon-
don? Mr. Newton explains. in the
I Atlantic Monthly.
it may be asked why should
one want to leave free, pros-
perous America and go over to
settle in a country in which
even the rich are not so rich as
they seem, and the poor are so
yery poor that a man of feeling
is appalled by the poverty he
sees about him; the answer.
however, is not far to seek.
They know, in England. much
better than we, how to enjoy
life and our freedom is becom-
ing a mere tradition~about the
only tradition we have.
We permit ourselves to be
deprived of our rights and
those who complain about it
are regarded not being 100
per cent Am leans-4 phrase
which. the war over. is merely
silly. The fact is. We have in-
vented or developed a form of
governmen't in which a man can
hardly take part and maintain
his self-respect.
But really ow. Mr. A. Edward
Newton. that s a bit thick. If things
are bad. they are not as bad as you
make them out. if there's some
truth in your criticism. there is lit-
tle warrant for your cynicism. We‘ll
admit that most of the people who
shout loudest about being 100 per
cent American don‘t know the
meaning of the word, but those who
were really 100 per cent American
weren't what you are. You're in.
quittcr. and they weren't. When
things were all wrong. they didn‘t
run away. they set them right. Just
when we need you. Mr. Newton.
you're walking out on us, which
isn't fair.
You want to go to London and
forget the Babblts and the blatant
asses. the pesliverous reformers. and
the mass of silly. entangling moan-
ingless laws which disfigure Amerl~
can life at present. Why don‘t you
stay and help clean up? It can be
done—indeed. ,it will be done. but
you'll be a slacker. You'll be plead.

American once more.
You may mingle. if you will. with

that they did so by staying where
they were!
Ills Silver Jubilee
(The Catholic Transcript)
Mr. Augustine Lonergan has com-
pleted his first twenty-two years at
the bar. Connecticut accepted him
when he was young and inexperi-
enced. He has paid her back two-
fold. pleading in her courts and rep-
resenting her for many years in the
halls of national legislation. Whether
as jurist or congressman he has
acquflted himself with distinction
and won for himself an enviable
place in the esteem and confidence
of legions of Connecticut admirers.
Mr. Loncrgan has worked hard
and won his way by his own labors.
by his own initiative. by his own in-
telligence. and by his own indomit-
able will. The second quarter of a
century seems big with promise.
Thousands confidently hope and ex-
pect that it will match in consecra-
tion and , hievement the twenty-five
years wh ch precede. If the career
of this hard-working lawyer is to
have symmetry. he must go on even
to greater and higher things; In
law and in all life. not to advance is
to recede. and advancement. at least
when life is half spent. depends on-
tirely on the backbone and courage
of the individual.

The most popular dish in Sweden is
a yellow pea soup cooked with pork.
Tlio pens are put into cold water
the day before and well boiled sev-

make a thick soup. A suitable por-
tion of pork is cooked with the peas
and is generally served cold with
the hot soup. Along with the soup
it is customary to offer hot arrac
punsch, rather swect, especially in
winter. After this dish as a rule thin
pancakes follow.
This simple dish is typical of the
Thursday dinner with all classes.
