In connection with the recent con-
solicitation of the Midland Trail and
the Roosevelt National Highway, into
the transcontinental motor route from
New York to San Francisco, now
known as the Roosevelt Midland
Trail, some confusion has arisen be-
cause there were formerly two trails
using the name Roosevelt"
In addition to the former Roosevelt
National Highway, there is the Theo-
dore Roosevelt International Highway,
running from Portland, Me-, to Port
land, Ore.
The president of the northern route
recently issued a denial that there had
been any consolidation Of his trail
with the Midland trail.
There was no question of the merg-
ing of the northern route with the
Midland Trail. The Roosevelt Ma
tional Highway conceded with the
Midland Trail, and has been CONSOLE
dated with that route, with the ma
tional headquarters of the merged
routes at Topeka.

THE BOY AND THE PINS

There was once a little boy who
was the proud pOssessOr of a new
shirt Now, this little boy loved to
pull buttons off his clothes, for
which he was often scolded by his
indulgent mother but without much
avail. One day he and his mother
were going to big show that was
going on, and he could hardly wait
until the day came. The day be-
fore the circus he pulled all the but
tons off the front of his shirt. His
mother did not know of his actions
until they were ready to start to
the circus and she then put pins all
along his shirt front. AS soon as
they started for the circus the pins
began to stick and he was very I'M
comforta BILE and did not enjoy the
show at all. The next day his
mother sewed on the buttons, but
Jack never had to have any pins in
his shirt again.-Harold Wright,

"The Angels Of Mons"

Perhaps you have all heard stor-
les about the Angels OF Mons. The
following is a verbatim statement
OF an English Lance corporal, who
was one OF the few survivors OF
the battle of Mons.
II was with my battalion In the
retreat from Mons, on or about the
18th day of August, 1918. The Ger
man cavalry was expected to make
charge, and we were waiting to
lire and scatter them so as to en-
able the French cavalry, who were
on our right, to make a dash for
ward. However, the German air
planes discovered our position and
we remained where we were.
The weather was very hot and
clear, and between and o'clock
in the evening l was standing with
a party of 8 or 10 other men on
duty, and some distance on either
side there were parties Of 10 on
guard. Immediately behind us half
Of my battalion was on the edge OF
wood resting. An officer sudden
ly came up to us in a state of
anxiety and asked IL we had seen
anything startling. He hurried
away from my tent to the next
party Of 10. When he had gotten
out of sight, i, who was the non
commissioned officer in charge, or
dered two men to go forward out
of the way of the trees in order to
find out what the officer meant.
The two men returned reporting
that they could see no signs of any
Germans; at that time we thought
that the officer must be expecting
a surprise attack.
Immediately afterward the Of
ficer came back, and taking me
and some others few yards away

you look around real closely you
will see several kinds of alligators
from little baby ones to real big
ones. We will just tell you about
where they are and then you can
find them when you go there.
In the northwest corner of the
museum in the case where are
many different kinds of eggs, most
ly birds eggs, there Is a larger egg
with tiny alligator just breaking
its shell.
A baby alligator, probably scarce
ly able to walk (if it were alive) is
in the case with the snakes. The
reason 1t looks so shining is be-
cause It has been vanished. The
eyes Of this alligator are very big
and round, In fact they are SO big
that we probably notice them first
of all.
