Puppy Love

MONT laugh at him. 1t Is real, and it hurts.
l. Call it puppy love" if you choose, but
down in your own heart you know that he
is passing through the saddest, gladdest 10y
of all.
He's a man oW. An instinct as old as the
first morning is waking in his blood. Off in
queer corners of the earth where Arabian Nights
have not yet faded before the cold dawn of CIV
~ilization, the elders of the tribe would measure
him as an adult, and his father would gravely
sue for the maiden of his choice.
New lands, new customs; but old human
nature.
Once you, too, walked under the locusts.
That first sweetheart of yours! Can you remem-
ber-can you forget? In all the years beyond,
what hour held so many stars? And now his
turn has come-hisr right to hoard sweet phan-
toms, too. Time always Sits the fragile purse
of dreams and steals so many precious coins we
thought to spend for happiness. Reality is quick
to break the loom that weaves such fairy fan
tastes. Spring is a season of the mind, and all
too short. Don't laugh at him.

Solomon Grundy''

Nv years ago a thicving rowdy in the hills-a
tupenny Turpin-a cattle sneak-iIliterate vulgar
nmoral-unknown to the world and unknowine
of it.
Suddenly, a death wind sweeping the rich reaches
of Chihuahua. Next, master of half a republic, with
one foot already planted upon the very doorstep of the
Presidency; the power of these United States all but
behind him; peer of American commanding officers,
meeting them as equals meet in the discussion of great
affairs; the support of European governments at his
fnger-tips; the cup of supremacy touching his lip
almost a Montez1ma.
Then sardonic fate kicks him sprawling. The mad
dream is ended.
Again a skulker in the hills-friendless. reviled,
execrated. Villa is himself again.

Burning Up Half a Billion

THE best way to fight a fire is to anticipate it. Be
/ sides eliminating human risk, it's a thrifty method.
Europe has had so few pence in her purse that
necessity forced her to plan proper safeguards. These
stringent regulations are enforced to the letter of the
law. Similar precautions would materially reduce the
half-billion dollars that annually go up in flames over
here. No other country feasts the fire fend so lavishlv
as we: It's great to hear the engines go past, but there's
lots cheaper fun.

The Clock to the Worker

CAID the clock to The worker, "Speed up there, YOU
shirker. Remember, I'm watching the job YOU are
%botching. No cunning can thwart me, no shrewd
ness abort me. My eye never closes, my brain never
dozes. My hands point out idlers, evaders and sidlcrs-
cheats, skimpers and trifers and all proft-rifers. Ii

Speaking of Preparedness

WAR does not establish the right or the wrong,
w but the might of the strong. Where battle once
bred chivalry and valor, = now creates mathe-
maticians, efficiency engineers and ballistic experts
Victory rests with the strongest purse and the farrtherest
guns, not with the boldest hearts and the noblest cause.
To those who fondly believe that the dogs of war only
bite by invitation, it is pertinent to recall Weber and
Fields's very ancient wheeze:
"They say that barking dogs never bite"
"You know it and 1 know it, but does the dog know 1T"

BRAKES on! Go slow, you do not
know,
You aren't sure that it is so.
A vagrant whisper overheard,
A sneer, a shrug, a bastard word
Are not sound evidence---you may
Unjustly hurt a man today.
The thoughtless hingsthatpeOp say,
The vandal rumOrs gossip spreads,
The 81 have heards" and some n
reads"
And like remarks destroy and blight
Without a chance to prove the right.
RObIesse Oblige! Who knows when
you
May stand in need Of fair play, too?
A thousand men and women die
At heart each day because a lie---
Some iII-cOnsidered, vicious fling
Has robbed their lives Of everything.
