met death, but the naming of de-
stroyer for him didn't take place until
long afterward.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Pruitt OF
Phoenix, Ariz., have just received
from the Italian government citation
and the italian war cross, Croce di
Guerre in recognition of their sons
valor nearly four years ago. The cita-
ton told of young Pruitt's single
handed battle against two machine gun
crews, capturing both, killing two OF
the enemy and taking 40 prisoners.
Under age and therefore ineligible
for the first draft, Pruitt volunteered
for service with the marines less than
three weeks after war was declared.
He was In France in January, 1918,
and served as "Devil Dog" until his
death. His body was brought back to
this country and buried with all the
honors that are hero's, In the Nation
al cemetery at Arlington.

LEGION HAS CEMETERY PLOT

That No Ex-Service Man Sleeps In
Potter's Field.

The American Legion at Racine,

the city's cemeteries and will hold 1t
in order that no one of the ex-service
men who did his share in the army or
navy during the World war need sleep
in a potters field When the Legion's
work on its acquired plot is complete,
Racine will have a miniature Airing
ton. The plot is circular and Will be
fittingly arranged in order that 1t may
look as much as possible like the ma

The Legion men have authorized the
expenditure of $5,S93.50 for the land.

Stars and Stripes Is one of the first
things the organization will buy. Al
ready Racine's IS ex-service men are
buried In two of its cemeteries. An
effort is to be made to have as many OF
these as possible transferred to the
new plot. Room for the burial of
more than 300 veterans is being al
lowed for.
The next session Of the Wisconsin
legislature will be asked to raise the
amount which the state allows for the
burial of a war veteran. At present
this amount is but $50, but II is hoped
that this will be increased to S75 or
500.

HBird of PASSAGE"

The earliest use of the term bird
of passage is found in eighteenth
book Of the Natural History of Pliny
the Elder (23-27 A. d., where he says !:
"The bird of passage known to us
as the cuckoo" and the term has since
been applied to birds which migrate
with a season from a colder to a
warmer, or from warmer to a colder
climate, divided into summer birds OF
passage and winter birds Of passage.
Such birds always breed In the coun-
try to which they resort In summer,
that Is, In the colder of their homes.
The term is said to have been first
applied to sailors by Bacon who de-
clared that the uncertainty, instability
and fluctuating state Of human life
was most aptly represented by those
sailing the ocean.

HEIRS or THE MIDDLE AGES
Artists of Today Are But Carrying On
the Work of the Old Master
Craftsmen.

The art of the Middle ages is really
the art of youth. 1t has no finality,
because that which 1t expresses can
never be finished. 1t lives with un-
measured potentialities still before it.
Until the Renaissance, and mems sub
sequent concentration upon commerce
and science, it seldom rested in the
West but grew from one stage to an
other-as in our still living arts-of
painting, and music, poetry, and the
drama-we still move and change and
grow.
The Middle ages were the age Of
youth. do not mean merely Of young
nations, but of men who were build
Ing up the future and had unlimited
development before them. 1t was our
youth, and we are growing from 1t.
In so far as our art lives-the art Of
our intelligentsia-it Is growing from
that stem. In so far as 1t is dead it
is In those forms of art which have
ignored their own parentage, such as
architecture, ornament, the crafts,
and much sculpture, and have tried to
form themselves from ancient models
in the pedantry of the schools. They
are cut off from the stem and they
languish. But painting, like music and
poetry, has gone on without break
and is alive today. Let us take
heart We are the heirs of those old
craftsmen.-Percy Dearmer.

ALL DOGS NOT COLOR BLIND
Belief That Has Long Been Held 10
Now Declared to Be Entirely
~ Wrong Impression. ,iJ

An eminent authority once asserted
that all dogs were color blind. = he
quoted, in support of his statement,
the case of two pug dogs who were
unable to distinguish the difference
in color of the plates from which they
were fed.
The color sense may be entirely
lacking in pug dogs, which are not re-
nowned for their sagacity; but to as
sumo that every other dog Is color
blind is a deduction far from the
truth.
Not only can dogs be trained to rec
ognize color, but they possess the nat
ural color sense in very high degree
They can differentiate between vari
Gus subtle shades and tones, and theil
likes and dislikes are strongly devel
oped.
A fox terrier has been known to fol
low at a distance a perfect stranger
solely because she was wearing a
dress similar in color to that worn by
{ his mistress. Only upon approaching
the woman did he find his mistake.

Advised "FIying Ships" for Mails.

AuVoCu FtyiHU oHiPS lOt Ha'S'
More than 100 years ago when the
United States mails were being trans;
ported by carriers on horseback, the
editor of the Freeman's Journal, now
the Norristown (Pa.) Herald, sug-
gested the use of flying ships"
In the issue of the Freeman's Jour-
nal of March /, 1922, the editor wrote !:
1--WE would advise the postmaster
general to avail himself of the novel
and the very ingenious flying machine,
invented by James Bennett OF Phila-
delphia, by which we conceive. the
mails would be transported with more
celebrity and their arrival at the places
of destination be much more certain
than is the case at present"

Free Air.

The modern ideas on education are
all very well so far as they go, but
there Is an old and well-cried proverb
which says that a little knowledge
Is a dangerous thing. Perhaps this
is why Johnny Jones' essay ON air
ran like this:
Breath is made of air. We breathe
always with our lungs, except at night,
when our breath keeps life going
through our noses while we are asleep.
If it wasn't for our breath we should
die whenever we slept.
"Boys that stay In room all day
should not breathe. They should wait
until they get outdoors. A lot Of
boys staying in a room make carboni-
eide, and carbonicide is more poison
Gus than mad dogs, though not just
In the same way. 1t does not bite,
but that's no matter so long as 1t
kills you."-Houston Post.

Nearly one-third of the money goes for
bread, potatoes, fruits, sugar and 9TH

than two-thirds is spent for meat, fish,
