The Plough

The lands like iron the ponderous horses strain
And lean 10 another; and the earth
Groans like living thing in pangs of birth
Behind them they thunder, with wild brain,
Wrenched sinew and mad hoof, the great gray plain
Thrown right and left between the pungng holds,
Cench teeth and hands, drop sweat for than COLDS
The wisdom and reward so cheap to gain
One furrow greater glows the land catch breath, -
Surer to aim the scored and shining steel,
Nor waste thought on lowering Night and Death
See bow the horses tremble for the sound
OF their commando Let Life thee too PROFOUND

Gilbert K. Chestert0n's London Letter
Ego ct Shavius Meus i and My Shawl

4 EfDENT has cut me off this week from many
current publications; and left me much to
my own devices 1t is therefore my immutable pur-
pose to write an article about myself, under the
thin pretence of noticing book about Mr. Bernard
Shaw. - ..-t ..-. ;.
This is all the more fun because it is exactly
what Mr.. Bernard Shaw would do himself; nor
should blame him. l like Mr. Shaw's type Of
Egolsm because if he talks big it is at least about
big things; things bound to be bigger than himself

Is more arrogant. For even so complete a fool
cannot really suppose We interested in his
cgarette-holder; and therefore must suppose that
we are interested in him. But l defend a dogmatic
egoist precisely because he deals in dogmas
The Apostles Greed is not regarded as pose of
foppish vanity; yet the word ''I'' comes before
even the word 'God." The believer comes first
but he is soon dwarfed by his beliefs swallowed in
the creative whirlwind and the trumpets of the
resurrection. And if a man SAYS he believes in the
Superman or the Socialist State, l think him
equally modest; only not so sensible.

tains many suggestive and valuable things to which

amusing and mystifying. The passage suggests
that all the active figures in my idle ictions are

any OF them are fat at ALL except semisuper-

book, which contains many things well worth writ
ing and reviewing; notably the shrewd remark
about Shaw's style; in which what is paradox in
spirit is seldom an epigram in form. 1t takes our
breath away rather by taking itself for granted
than by defining itself like defiance But l fancy
Mr.. Skimpole will sympathise with me if 1 am pri-
marily concerned with his convictions, as he is
with mine, and as We both are with Shaws.
Some Enduring Things.
And he has gone to the vital point in emphasizing
this matter of the things permanent in man. When
1 say that religion and marriage and local loyalty
are permanent in humanity, l mean that they recur
when humanity is most human; and only compare
lively decline when society is comparatively in
human.
They have declined in the modern world. They
may return through the war; but anyhow, where
we have the small farm and the free man and the
fighting spirit there shall have the salute to the
soil and the roof and to the altar.
The Singers.
To take more casual case; believe that when
men are happy, they sing not only at the piano but
at the plough at least in the intervals of plough
ing; at their work and in their walks abroad. I
am well aware that modern men do not sing in the
street very much. am well aware that eosmopoli-
tan money blenders sing but die with all their
music in them. know that the Song of the Happy
Meat-Contractor is not of ''our present insti-
tutions''
l know that one can seldom come at dawn upon
some solitary London banker carolling sweetly
than the lark and his clerks do not often sing
in chorus over their ledgers But still think it is
more human to sing than not to sing; and that,
being more human, it is more permanent in human
ity.
Some righteous revolution will teach the bankers
and contractors that little birds who can sing and
won't sing must be made to singer at any rate
made to squeal. In the interlude, the instinct of
song takes refuge in the lesser thing called poetry
or even prose; and in my next article the fever of
personal sincerity may have passed; and l shall
return, with lowly air, to literature.

Michael Elder: Hats Reblocked
BY Kate Buss.

I've worked on hats since I was seventeen
And now I'm close to seventy
Straw for tulip and the caring weather,
Felt for winter
Fits more firmly old mems hair
Wide brim narrowed by quarter inch
(Shovs as though twas on your nose to some)
Ribbon freshed and curve pressed straight.
Once I used to ponder
Why hat should need reshaping
Just the time some man had formed it
To firm and followed feeling
By few months wear

Through feeling bands that sweat to fit brow,
That men with brains inside their heads
Wear their hats the longest

A Sluggish, Clogged-Up Circu-

Eruptions.

Eczema is called skin disease be-
cause the tiny little germs which
cause the disease set up their colony
on some portion of the skins surface,
and here spread their irritation that
soon begins to burn like flames of
fire.
There are other forms Of so-called
diseases of skin, such as letter, boils,
pimples, acne, erysipelas, scaly erup-
lions, blotches and rough irritations,
that are a source of much pain and
annoyance.
And, while these disorders are gen.
orally referred to as skin diseases,
they are really traceable to disor-
dered condition of'the blood, and they
are never experienced by anyone
whose blood is free from impurities.
IF you are a victim of any form of
these painful and irritating disorders
of the skin, causing, as they do, such
constant annoyance. you canont ex-
pect any real benefit from the local
Treatment so generally used, such as
lotions, ointments, salves, etc.
You are simply postponing cure
