One of the most delightful social
events Of the season occurred at
the home Of MFR. and Mrs. j. H.
Williams on Friday evening. March
is, when the girls of the Amoma
Club with their invited guests were
entertained at st. Patrick's party.
The rooms were tastefully decorat-
ed in green and white. every fea-
ture of the clever scheme remind
ing the guests of the Emerald Isle.
The evening was pleasantly spent
in games and st. Patrick's Day
stunts. At a late hour delicious
refreshments were served, after
which the happy guests departed,
wishing that more than one day
in the year had been dedicated to
st. Patrick.
Weston's response to the call for
old clothing for Belgian relief has
been prompt and generous. 1t is
thought that when all the contribu-
tions are in tomorrow the commun-
ity's quota of 500 pounds will have
been largely exceeded. Mrs. j. H.
Price, the local chairman. was as
sisted by the following ladies in
soliciting bundles: Mrs. R. Proud

After Sunset

At evening, when the slanted radiance fills
Their hollows, and the great winds let them
be,
And they are quiet and look down at me.
o, then see the patience in their eyes
Dat of the centuries that made them wise.
They lend me boarded memory, and learn
Their thoughts of granite and their whims
of fern,
And why dream of forests must endure
Though every tree be slain; and how the
pure,
Invisible beauty has word so brief,
A flower can say it, or shaken leaf,
But few may ever snare it in song,
Though for the quest life is not too long.
When the blue hills grow tender, when they
pull
The twilight close with gesture beautiful,
And shadows are their garments, and the all
Deepens, and the wild veery is at prayer,
Their arms are strong around me; and
That somehow shall follow when you 90
To the still land beyond the evening star,
Where everlasting hills and. valleys are,
And silence may not hurt US any more,
And terror shall be past, and grief and war.

The Service FLAG

To save our Stars and Stripes from sham
The Service Flag appears,
And though we're proud to see it wave
Our eyes are dimmed with tears.
Our eyes are dimmed, our homes are
Our hearts are filled with dread S
Lest when from our loved ones we hear
They're numbered with the dead.
But let US hope with steadfast hope
And pray as never before
That the dreadful war will speedily end
And our boys come back to our
shore.
But there are many who II never return
Who will fill soldiers grave
Who gave their service and their lives
The Stars and Stripes to save.

Rookie in the Army

Rookie, rookie, hear that call?
That means "get up" for one and all.
Sergeant's whistle soon will blow,
Be in the squad or he will know.
The bugler's blowing mess right now,
Fall in line and get your chow.
Get your mess kit and be the first to see
The mess hall and the General K. P.
Rookie, rookie, take out your bunk.
Sweep your tent and don't you funk.
The lieutenant will inspect today,
A dirty shack and you'll get no pay.
A good salute, and make it snappy,
Will make the officers proud and happy
And you hear taps and the lights 60 out
Slip in easy off the guards route.

there; ever trying to sieze the moment and
the means that will watt US to some coveted
goal; and ever, seemingly, just about to
accomplish our purpose. But, it is never
done
Not that opportunity is not to be waited
for nor pursued. Surely it can be gained
in no other way. The folly-and Judas
quality-lies in giving ourselves wholly to
this waiting and seeking. Opportunity
plays no favorites. 1t is for all. 1t is like
the air we breathe-always around US; only
opportunity cannot be made use of ipvoIun-
tarily. Its use requires wisdom, initiative,
nerve, determination, readiness, all the at
tributes of human character and mind that
raise men above the animal level. 1t is be-
cause so many of US view opportunity as
some magic quality one may acquire in a
moment and in some miraculous manner
like the Elixir of Life to be gained in a
single draught from the tabled Fountain of
Youth-that we miss it all together.
We need to awake! Realize that op-
portunity is wherever man is and lives as
he lives. Remember Judas not for his in
fanny but for the example of wasted OPP
portunity he affords us. Once we fully
understand that opportunity is our constant
companion we will be we'll started toward
attaining whatever purposes and ideals we
may hold.

What is Success?

What is success? Is it to stand
With cheering crowds on either hand,
And bow and smile to them?
All, no, my boy, the very cause
That wakes the rabble to applause,
Perhaps good men condemn.
Is it to stand on blood-stained fields,
And fight until the foeman yields
Acknowledging our might
All, no, my boy, alas! too oft
The hand that holds the flag aloft
Does not uphold the right.
Is it to gather wealth untold
In title deeds, and bonds and gold,
And ships that sail the sea?
All, no, my boy, for to my mind,
The most successful men we find
May live in poverty.
Well, then, if valor, wealth nor fame
Is not the test, what shall we name
As the unfaiing signl
Unto the weak, unto the strong,
Alike to each, it may belong;
And you can make it thine.
Who doeth all he can of good,
In nation, state or neighborhood,
And evil doeth none;
No matter what his wealth or fame,
No matter what his lot or name,
Success has truly won.

Inmates Celebrate

The morning of July 4th dawned cloudy
with rain threatening to come down most
any minute-the aftermath OF terrific
lightning and thunder storm that passed
over this vicinity during the preceding
night. 1t was a question at first whether
the morning hours of the holiday would be
celebrated in the yard or in the cell house
corridor, but the officials decided to take
chance on the weather behaving itself and
the celebration took place in the yard.
The lemonade stand Immediately became
the chief attraction. Thither the thirsty
wendell their way and over the flowing
bowl those loquaciously inclined became
exceedingly garrulous; so much so, in fact,
that one could imagine himself at city
labor picnic on Labor Day after the crowds
had arrived from viewing the parade. Here
and there certain individuals became so
deeply engrossed in their discussions that
they forgot for the nonce where they were
and in their conviviality would, no doubt,
imagine themselves back in the days of the
glorious past, while others would stand out
where they had plenty of room and use their
arms and legs to give more emphasis to their
harangue. The lemonade was of excellent
quality, and as for quantity-well there was
plenty and then some; although it kept a
half dozen walters busy serving it out the
supply seemed inexhaustable, for there was
still more than half barrel left when the
whistle blew.
About ten O'Clock the weather came to
the conclusion that it had been on its good
behavior long enough and Jupiter PIuvius,
who controls the moisture in the weather
department, not wanting to see the johnson
boys of Saltwater "sneak" in run opened
the faucets gradually, allowing just enough
water to come down at FIST to make the
handles of the bats slippery, so that every
time batsman swung at the ball the bat
would fly out of his hands, going, in some
instances, nearly to third base. Finally old
Pluvius opened up wide and the rain came
down right merrily, putting a stop to further
outside sports for the morning.-B.>

much interested in them, and had to buy an
ordinary one. He bought it and hired
fine boat-house, and painted it all up and
ran his brand new boat into it, and said to
his friends: 'Now I'll call you up some
day and we'll go for ride
was one of them, and haven't had the
ride; for about the next day a wire. came
from Washington, and off went the vice
president and the war was on and the vice
president became Major and Colonel and
everything, and the speed boat is still there
and the new paint is old, and the friends are
waiting for ride and he. won't even let
them 60 up in an airplane, just because he's
busy winning the war. His boat has taken
wings in more senses than one, and he can't
design cars any more any more than he
can fly,
He has never been able to take his speed
boat away from land, but since his hobbies
have wings his trouble is to get back to
land. He is a regular fier, but when he
nears the shore with his airplane he can't
use reverse, and it takes time to learn how
far the dock is away when you can't see it.
He could have made better landings with
his speed boat than he does with his airplane
had he ever landed his speed boat; but if he
had landed his speed boat the way he lands
his winged yacht there would have been no
dock to land his speed boat had there been
anything of the speed boat left to land.
Otherwise he is good fier.
1t is significant, however, that he gets his
information regarding Liberty engines and
American planes first hand, without depend
ing on hearsay alone, and does the work in
the thorough way that has made the name
Vincent one to conjure with in automotive
engineering circles. He is great engineer,
first because he is great personally; great
organizer, great go-getter, and great
analyst. He ATTACKS all problems from
fundamentals rather than details, but does
not let details escape. When he marks
job done, it is done as far as that seasons
new surprises for later seasons and programs!
The story of his creation of the Liberty
engine from the idea to the completed en-
CINE within months time is one of the big
romances of engineering. When the war
is over he will be known for even greater
achievements and will be looked up to as
one of the great geniuses of American
creativeness.
