AMERICAN HERO In her own fascinating style this famous writer applauds Will Rogers' honest Americanism— this fine sentiment will carry you to great heights By FAITH I SUPPOSE there could be a good deal of discussion as to what constitutes a hero ; and, more particularly, an American hero. But for this position I nominate Will Rogers. Will's recent flying adventure which not only took up a good deal of his time and, theoretically at least, risked his life, is stirring enough, for it was an undertaking BALDWIN made solely in the name of charity — and he certainly got returns as few men have been able to do. He went over the top, in more ways than one, but I do not base his candidacy for the job of American Hero upon this feat of endurance and courage and great-heartedness alone. I base it upon the fundamental make-up of the man himself — upon his fineness and genuineness.
