More Truth
Than Poetry
By JAMES ]. MONTAGUE

IN GREENWICH VILLAGE.
In Greenwich Village lived a lad
Who played the violin;
His notes were flat his bowling bad
His tones were harsh and thin.
But he was covetous Of fame
DESPITE these faults-and 80
He gave himself a Slovak name
And let his whiskers grow.
And did these attributes Of art
Improve his work a lot?
Althougth 1T nearly breaks your heart
Wen say that they did not.
In Greenwich Village lived a maid,
Obscure and unrenowned,
Who long and fruitlessly essayed
To write like Ezra Pound;
And when these efforts did not get
The damsel anywhere
She firmly said. "In do It YETI
And so she bo-bed her hair.
And did this act exaIt her verse
And make il Tilt and soar?
No: strange to say the stuff got
worse
Than il had been before.
In Greenwich Village lived a youth
Who'd failed. for many day,
To grasp some great eternal truth
And put it in play.
Tu+ with ambition still undlmmed
And ardor uudeStroyea.
He bought a pair of cheaters. rim
med
with notified celluloid-
And did he make an audience tnroo
And shout and hold its breath
Alas, he had 10 find job
or he'd have starved TO death!

JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST
7HE BEST-IOVED NrEN.

THE BESTOWED NIEN.
It isn't all in getting rich, it isn't all
in winning fame,
A bigger thing than victory is how
you've learned to play the
game;
Success is keeping faith with men
and standing true 70 what is
best
And finding JOY in humble things
and being fit for every test
The good man need not come to
wealth nor need he rise TO world
renOwn.
Not often is the richest man the
bestowed citizen in town:
You'll find he walks in humble ways
and modest is the garb he wears.
And on his back from day TO day
life piles a multitude Of cares.
His glory is a generous heart. a voice
that carries hope and cheer.
A willingness to do his work. a wish
TO be OF service here:
He asks no favored place from life.
nor shirks the hardships in his
way.
But meets all men with head erect
and plays the friend from day
10 day.
The best loved man in any town is
honest. manly. brave and true.
Sharing his life with all who live. do
ing what work ne finds to do;
He may not climb the heights OF
fame nor come TO treasures
golden fee.
But he is sill accounted great in
all God asks a man To be.

GIRL SCOUT NOTES.

II is quite possible that the people
Of Delta do not know about the orga-
niztion of Girl Scouts, who they are
and what they are doing. We want
YOU to know and are going TO tell you.
When Sir Robert Baden-Powell
founded the Boy Scout movement in
England. 1t proved too attractive to
make it possible to limit i. to bows
alone. The sister organization
known in England as Girl Guides. fol
lowed and won equal success.
Mrs. Juliette Low. an American Wis
itor in England, was personal friend
of the Father of Scouting. and reaiiz'
ed what the movement would d. for
her own country. With the active AMI
friendly cooperation of the Baden
Powells, she followed the first Girl
Scouts In America. The first patrols
we're enrolled in Savannah. Georgia,
where more than 5000 captains repre-
sent the original troop. Surely sat
isfying sight for our founder and first
president, when she realizes what a
healthy spirit she has transplanted
from the Mother Country.
The Girl Scouts Of Delta are work
ing earnestly to make the people OF
Delta realize the Importance OF the
Scouts organization.
1t was decided by the Scouts that
they cooperate with Woman's Clno IN
the City Beautiful Campaign and help
with the new City Park.
On Monday, February 4, the Gir'
Scouts had Guest Day to which the
mothers of the scouts and of the pres
pective scouts were invited "A ousi'
ness meeting was held, after wn'e,'
dainty refreshments were serVeu'
There were several talks on the lotn
law. A girl Scout is clean In word
thought, and deed, This gave to the
Scouts the full understanding OF the
real value of that law.

Fighting England
\ Buoyant Romance of
Napoleon's Day

OLD FIGHTING DAYS. BY Il. r. Pun
shon Published by Alfred A. Knopf. So
"a M ANY good, hard blows are given
WI and taken in this story of Eng
land at the time of Napoleon.
The hero, boy of unknown parentage,
has to make his way in the world, and
soon develops into a remarkably skill
full boxer. The author gives a spirited
picture of the British prize ring of that
day, when fists were more generally
employed by amateurs as we'll as pro-
fessionals than they are now.
Into this description of England's
sporting life is woven q description of
the hero's apparently hopeless love for
q French emigre girl of high degree.
However, by q lucky turn Of events, he
simultaneously discovers and helps to
thwart a plot for a French invasion
and proves that he is descended from
a family whose origin can be traced
back to the Norman Conquest-a pedi-
gree that satisfes even the aristocratic
father of the French girl.
Mr.. Punshon has written buoyant,
rapidly moving story, full of stirring
incidents and suffuscd with the spirit
Of the age which it describes.

An Hour Of Lively Chat With
The Creator of Black Bartlemv
Jettery Farnol Boxes the Compass From
Dempsey and Carpenter to
His Own Novels

fiction of the year in the field Of the
novel based on period already we'll
exploited in novels, French and Eng
lish, the French Revolution. Then came
something of a surprise in volun-
teered tribute to Alfred Henry Lewis
whose Sunset Trail won from Farnol
sentence or two Of hearty praise as
so far the best story of your West"
(Which of your own books gave YOU
the greatest pleasure in writing?" we
asked. The reply, given without hesi-
tation, was unexpected. "The Geste of
Duke Jocelyn," its authors sole effort
in the realm of fiction In verse. On
the heels of our chat over The Geste
arrived story that showed all this
interesting Englishman's love Of old
days, old customs and good old sword
play. Here it is. In church or
cathedral in midland England lies
twelfth or thirteenth century warrior
carved in stone. The armor, evidently
copied from suit Of the period, is
superb, and the long sword-it must
have required two good hands for
hefty swing--has on the hilt trefoil
beautifully carved. England had been
searched for the original helmet,
breastplate and sword, without results.
One day, quite recently, men were
excavating in the bottom of the
Thames. They brought up q bit of
carved armor. "Send down an expert
on ancient armor," was the hurry cali
to the British Museum. The proper
person arrived, INSPECTED the fragment,
recognized its great value, ordered
careful digging in that clayey soil Of
the river that preserved from rust and
decay. Up came bones, armor and,
marvellous to relate, the great sword
as good as new-the glorious weapon
of the man whose image lies in a mid
county. Sir Somebody had been hurled
from London Bridge, in a fray, had
somersaulted down to the water and
had rested for centuries in the bed of
the stream over which he had fought
so Justify. Farnol's eyes cleaned as
he told this fascinating bit Of real
history.
AS we strolled out for our hats we
launched question or two on the
short-story masters. FarnoI paid an
honest compliment in including two Of
our native writers in his supreme quar-
tet-Stevenson, Guy de Maupassant,
Poe and O. Henry. And so delight
full hour with a delightful man came
to an end. An hour of sequel is to be
enjoyed, we hope, at some day not dis
tressingly distant, at quiet home
in Kent, England. For two men have
in mind a stroll over that historic
county, with certain door in Hythe
as objective-a door on which is
stretched the skins of Danes.
