o. dreams are sombre and dreamP are glad,
But sweeter dreams never dreamer had
Than the dreams dream OF my soldier lad,
Ny soldier across the sea;
For browse at night when the thought grows dim;
lie at the wide worlds outer rim,
And watch the little stars fly or swim.
AS | fall to dreams and dream OF him.
And dream that he dreams Of me.
! wake at morn and dream all day.
! dream at my work and dream at play,
I dream Of my laddie who's far away
And the miles that intervene;
So send my kisses across the sea.
And they meet the kisses he sends TO me
And they sing as they pass IN their ecstaC
They sing OF our love and the days to be.
When no seas lie between.

LIEUT.. PAT O'BRIEN DID 1T
Famous Ace Clears Up Mystery That
Puzzled College Authorities
For Years.

Berkeley, Gala college prank
which proved a mystery to the Univer-
sity of California for several years
was cleared up here recently when
Lieut.. Pat O'Brien, the American
"ace" who fell 5000 feet into Germany
and then escaped from a Hun prison
camp, confessed to an audience Of
10000 in the Hearst Greek theater
that he was "guilty."
On st. Patrick's day several years
ago the university woke up to find
it's beautiful gold letter "C'' on Char
ter Hill, overlooking the campus,
shining forth in brilliants green. In
vestigations and probes failed to dis
close whose hand had redecOrated the
big "C' and the school officials never
knew until Lieutenant O'Brien made
his confession"

Young PEOPLES EVENINGS.

Harm often comes from the too i'm
plicit faith which parents place in chill
dren's accounts Of where their eve
ningS are spent. To Obviate the use
by young people Of the social centers
in the schools as an excuse for their
absence from homo when they have
been elsewhere, the schools of Milwau-
kee issue cards to children of parents
who demand them. When the young
man or woman goes to the social CEN
ter the time of his or her entrance is
recorded on the card as are also the
Tine of leaving and kindred data. In
This fashion parents are enabled to
verify their children's assertions that
they have spent an evening at school
center.

TURNS FORGER TO ENLIST
Rejected Youth Says He Thought
Commission of Crime
Would Help.

Muncie, Ind.-So determined to en-
ter the army was Paul Love, age eight
cen, that, according to his own story,
he turned forger in the hope that a
criminal record would make it easier
to enter his country's service.
The youth, on being arrested after
he had tried to pass bad check for
SIT on c. w. Koehlinger, owner Of a
bicycle store, told the police he had
read several times in newspapers
where criminals had been released by
courts when they agreed to enlist in
the army. He said he had been re-
jected when he tried to enlist and he
thought by committing forgery, being
arrested and then promising to join
the army to escape punishment, the
road might be opened to his entrance
into military service.
The youth is being detained and he
may be recommended for army serv-
ice.
