The Abused Stylus.

@OMETIMES it seems that the technic of writ
- ing has been made too simple. Anybody
possesses it after few years of tongue-bt-
ten battling with copy-books and nk-smeared dis
sertations upon the characteristics of the apple.
Acquisition of this technic is liable to lead to the
most deplorabe inspirations and delusions through
out the remainder of life
For it is easy to seat oneself and write
just write. Sound thought is difficult; writing is
tragicay facile Any editorial basket is overflow
ing proof of this. Which leads to the thought that
reading is often quite difficult writing is easy
especially when the writer is noculated with the
germ Of the essay that of poetry.
The man who practices the slide trombone on
Sunday afternoons is ordinarily an enemy of society
whose violence is of short duration. Either he
becomes proficient enough to join brass band or
things are made unpleasant for him in the neigh
borhood that he turns mute once more. But tho
person who will write when Providence intended
him, very evidently, for other lines of endeavor is
an offender the soundessness of whose medium
prevents mass uprising against him. He bores
from within and attacks his victims singly unless
addicted to reading his productions to family or
friends.
He is nevertheless mighty force for irritation
With quarters worth of paper, ink and pens he
is capable Of causing great anguish Did he select
the field of music the graphic arts for his gesticu-
lations, his material would be in many cases of
prohibtve expense but for writing he needs only
instrumentalities which always be economically
employed in inditing notes to distant relatives if
the refuses to rest with him.
Practically everyone has an alphabet native
tongue and a scratch pad. Little else is required
to become writing pest Perhaps it would be a
good move to teach the majority of only
much of writing as concerned our chosen business
or profession and to institute strict government
supervision over sales of stationery.

THE BAY

"a Painting In a Gallery WiBdow)
Here is the splendor of the summer sea,
Its far blue wonder, and its quietness,
Where now the passing people crowd and press,
Checking their steps that went SO hurriedly
On profitable business, Here the free II
Blueness of water quiets their distress
With its bright calm. One moment more or less
Means nothing in this clear serenity.
And as they turn once more upon their way,
Their ears grow dull to the incessant shout
OF changing throngs; and where the dust-clouds rise
On windy corners, all the walls Of grey
And the bleak streets have strangely faded out
Falling before the vision in their eyes.

EDITORIALS AND COMMENT
-Four Poems.
NEW RAIMENT.

So long it was that went clad in grey.
But now at last robe me for your sight
In wondrous raiment, glittering with light
All gold and rose and blue, ike dawn OF day
Now shall my oiden garb be locked away,
For stand forth, made new and strangely bright
After long waiting. and the vanished night
Is all forgotten in this fair display. ~
See, there is laughter down the lengthening roadi
Sun in the fields, and birds above that soar
On strong poised wingsl And all the way along
As | go forward, free without load,
Your presence that had not felt before
Lives in my mind like repeated songl

THE RAIN COMES.

Wind and rain and lightest snow
All across her window go,
Breathe and tap and touch the pane
With the gentleness of rain,
Touch and glide and lightly blow
With the gentleness of snow.
All the drops enchanted pass,
Slanted on her window-glass;
Wondrous light must fall the rain
So to touch her window-pane,
For she will not stir at all
As the drops most Lightly fall.
Now the. sound of fairy horn
Shrilling in the woods away
Cannot move her, though it warn
Through the darldy waning day
Though it bid her watch the snow.
Ere to rain it turn and go.
Ticking in the shadowed caves
Falling dark on fallen leaves
Wind and rain and lightest snow
Far across her window go. .
Storms may pass and lightning flare
Still she sits unheeding there

verse. o..

DREAMS.

Strange dreams pass by me. as the wind and ram
or summer storms, and leave freshened peace;
And their changing mood give some release
To this old longing, that will come again
Even as dust in drouth and the brown STAIN
OF sun-touched dew on grass. And dreams that
cease
Under the glare of day can but increase
The ancient hope, known long ago as vain
Yet, failing dreams, denied reality, s Il.
How lives one2-Come, and take me by the hand,
And though it be forbidden, gaze at me
As once you gazed many days ago.
Look only once seek to understand
My hope, that your glad spirit must not know

0'COnnor's Cafe.

By WILLIAM ROSE BENET.
They'll have apartments" on the uppef floors
And shops below here where the crossways meet,
Where 81" trains shake high trestes down the
street
And idle loungers lean from dirty doors.
No some shrewd-eyed Bacchus shakes and
pours
Glttering decoctions when the Spring is sweet
With violet twilight, through fostering heat
OF summer, while the eternal traffic roars.
O'Connor's passes and that tall Bastille
With clock-face ever owlish OF late hours
Rules on, where strange young sailor passed
To bar brigh-work, dream of nights at wheel
On vast dark seas, and to invoke snch powers
AS guard his greatness here until the last.

Berber LOve-Songs.
THY VOICE.

o. my fair mistress, cry aloud with joyI
For by Allah, the only God,
At the sound of thy voice
The rose-aurel of the river will turn to a garden
rose.
At the sound of thy voice
The sick man will sit upon his mat
At the sound of thy voice
The old will throw away his cane.
THE TWO MILLS.
Said the water mill to the hand-mll: 60 to sleepI
For, when the water rushes through the flume,
Many a measure of grain will l grind"
But the handnilI in the house, answering, replied:
II envy not your solitude of streams and gardens;
1t is with the tribe of fair charmers that have my
home,
/ ain turned by the hands that bring soft caresses"

LEGION STILL PUSHES
ADJUSTED COMPEN ALTON

ri New York, April i Activity OF
the American Legion in pushing leg
islation for justice for disabled ex-
service men will not interfere with
its campaign for adjusted com pensa-
tion as embodied in Fordney bill, ac-
cording to Colonel f. w. Galbraith,
Jr., national commander of the ex-
service mems organization.
: Colonel Galbraith said that the
Legion had recognized that its first
duty is to the disabled veteran and
that he is confident that the 3Legions
corrective program will be speedily
enacted into law by the Sixty-seventh
Congress. .ff:gas 5l5rzss. ,.,s3 .5s
when this is done" he continued,
'tthe Legion will advance actively its
measure for an adjustment to COM
pensation to all who served in an eff
fort to strike AN economic balance
between those who went to war and
those who did not. g. - -.
1.-THE American Legion has never
receded from its original stand on
the matter of compensation. 1t holds
that an adjustment of compensation
along the lines of the five-foh option
al bill is just and simply represents
fair play to those who have played
fair with their country. And in this
stand the Legion knows it has the
endorsement of the people. The
Fordney bill has passed the house of
representatives and was reported fav-
urably by the senate finance commit
tee. In every state where the matter
of adjusted compensation has been
left to decision by popular vote the
result has been an overwhelming en-
dorsemen Of the stand of the Am
ercian Legion" 49,. 4. .}E- y,

STRENGTH OF NAVIES'
DIFFERENT POWERS
England Has Twice as Many
Warships as U. Japan
Half as Many.

Observation-Disclosures officials believe
to be complete information as to the
relative naval strength Of the principal
world powers is now in possession of
the American government. Whether it
will be presented to the senate foreign
relations committee in connection
with that committees consideration of
proposals looking to world disarma-
ment has not been disclosed.
The information has been compiled
in the form of tables which show that
Great Britains sea power is double
that of the United States and that
although the British preponderance in
capital ships will practically have
been overcome by the United States
with the completion in 1923 of the
American building program, the
American navy will be still greatly
inferior in types of vessels, which
naval officers regard as extremely i'm.
pOrtant, notably destroyers, cruisers,
and light cruisers, cruising subma-
rines and airplane ships.
The American navy today, accord.
ing to this information, has more than
double strength of the Japanese navy
and this ratio will be maintained even
with the completion of the building
| programs of the two countries. The
United States will be far superior not
only in capital ships but also in de,
stroyers and submarines. Japan, how.
ever, will have double the number of
battle cruisers, now possessing four
such vessels with eight others pro,
