BALLADE OF THE AMBITIOUS POET

Great authors heads are due 70 bcrd
For shall strew them at my feet!

If critics their assistance lend,
hope to gain Westminster Abbey.
But recognition fails to meet
My aspirations, though I spend
Long hours at my irksome seat
And into shreds my clothing rend.
Could | but suddenly ascend
10 fame, as did the brilliant Gaby,
Tho world at last would comprehend
hope to gain Westminster Abbey
! Upon the literary "Street'
Each day try in vain to vend
Ny wares. The market is replets.
And Art declares 10 dividend.
My readers, all too few, contend
mat Doth my prose and poems are
shabby
But, when my life draws to an end,
hope to gain Westminster Abbey,
LEnuoi
Prince Of beNss-lettgcs, be thou nv
friend:
When in old age my flesh grows
habby
Heap laurels on the works I've
Id die to gain Westminster Abbey.

Cush Militant

Throckmorton Cush served in the great
war? OF course, they made q mis-
take when they made out his commits

dc he neglect an opportunity to show
fatherly interest toward the privates;
he was always looking for such oppor-
tunities, in fact OF course, he ad
dressed soldier as "sly man." and
one Of his greatest disappointments
was the failure of the enlisted per-
sonne to wipe their mess kits-dishes.
he called them-on the towels he fur
nishcd.
Morale and esprit de corps were
strong points with him, and on long
practice marches he would urge his
men to sing about the packs they car
RED on their backs, especially when
meeting other troops OF coming back /
to quarters
In all his service, he wrote his wife. |
ne never had seen his men playing
with dice; and the bad words one
sometimes heard were not said seri-
ously.
Because his men had learned to un-
cefstand him and accept his influence, !
ne said he was reconciled to not get
ting across, where there were so many /
other influences. d. C.. s

Until they began to arrest people for
the murder Of Taylor we had no real
conception of the vast size Of Los
Angeles population.
Winter seems to have ratified the
mandate Of March-with reservations.
