after desperate struggle to reach the
rubber gatherers who live far In the
Brazilian interior, he had, as he re-
lates in Across Unknown South
America" a very curious experience.
"The forest near the Secondary
river was at first overgrown with
dense vegetation that gave US a good
deal of work and extra exertion; but
after that, when we got some distance
from the water, the forest was fairly
clean, except of course for the fallen
trees. We found troublesome ravines
of great depth where streamlets had
cut their way through.
'Tn going down one OF those difficult
ravines, had an accident that might
have been fatal. The ravine. the gides
OF which we're almost vertical, was
very narrow-only about ten meters
across. We let ourselves down, hold
ing on to q Llama. When we reached
the bottom, we found q tiny brook
winding its way between great round
boulders that left a space about two
feet wide for the water. / began to
climb the other side, and had got to
a height OF about thirty feet. In order
to go up this steep incline, had set
one foot against a small tree, and

weight OF the load that had on my
shoulders made me lose my balance,
so that my body described q complete

from that height on the rocks below.
Providence once more looked after
me on that occasion. On the flight
down already imagined myself dead;
but no--my head entered the cavity

The Law of the Marine Corps
with Apologies to Service)

The Law of the Marine Corps
with Apologies to Service)
by Orson Urouch)
This is the law of the marine corps,
an devery they make it plain:
"Send not your foolish and feeble,
send me your strong and sane
Strong for the, perils of warfare;
strong for the boredom of peace;
Send me the men ready for battle,
or patient with kitchen police.
Send me men born of strong parents,
from homes in manson or street,
Whether reared in city or prairie will
never acknowledge defeat.
Send not your hot house orchids,
raised on silver spoon;
Their stomachs revolt on beans and
slums, their end comes all to soon.
Send men keen for drilling, men that
are born to the gun,
Send me men raging for Hun blood,
eager to sail for France;
Men that are men to the letter, with
the courage to take their chance.
These are the men wanted, these are
the favored ones,
These will l take to my bosom, these
will | call my sons.
But the others, the weaklings, the
grouches, spurn with no gentle
boot;
The towards, the slackers the
slouches; these are the kind that
won't suit.
This is the law of the marine corps,
that only the strong shall thrive;
That surely the weak shall perish,
and only the fit survive;
The desolute, damned and despair
full, the weaklings are crippled or
slain"
This is the law of the marine corps,
and lo-how they make it plain.
