be forthcoming and that the de.
pendent children of this State
may be adequately provided for.
Unless the money asked tor is
raised, the work of caring for the
children will have to stop ant
then the only avenue for the un

SAFER DEFENSE CANAL URGED BY LEGION
 EXECUTIVE

INDIANAPOLIS. May 15.-The Pa mama Canal is the Achilles heel of America. This is the observation of Alvin Owlsey, national commander of the American Legion, who recently returned from Panama where he wit messed the maneuvers of the United States fleet in Panamanian waters.
 The American Legion, through it's national legislative committee, will work for the better defense of the canal, he said.
 We built at Panama the most pow erful defense known when we com- pleted the canal. Since then we have had world war and now ships could lombard the entrance to the canal without being reached by the shore batteries. The canal is most vulner- able from the air. The fleet maneu- vers demonstrated conclusively that the canal could not be successfully defended against aerial attacks, and planes could bomb them at will The only way to fight airplanes is from the air" He advocated the establishment of airplane bases within the zone, with fighting planes and fighting pilots ready to take the air in defense of the canal.

PRIZE ESSAY
THE MILK BOTTLE MEN
 (By Alice Murphy)

Once there were some rich people who had little boy. He was quite sickly He hardly ever ate good, nour- ishing food. A was always eating something sweet. Usually when din- her time came he was never hungry and ate nothing. As he was the only boy his parents usually let him eat as he pleased His name was Tom.
 Once Tom became slightly ill and the doctor said the only thing he could have was milk. He also said that Tom could have no candy nor anything sweet. Tom didn't like milk and everytime they gave him some he would cry and kick in bed.
 Then one night a dream came to Tom. He dreamed he was taken to a large castle upon the hill. Upon the door was written, Milk for Weak Boys.' He was very much frighten- ed when he saw this. The Milk Bot tie Men of this castle had heard of Tom and were very disappointed to think he did not like milk, because it was a very delicious food. When Tom opened the door and saw milk bottles with arms and legs he was more frightened than ever. Soon they start ed to talk and sympathize with him and he was not afraid any more.
 The Milk Bottle Men took him through the castle, showing him many things he had never seen before. The things Tom saw were: energetic fairy Viamines dancing over a snowwhite floor There were little roly-poly ba- bies, doing fancy stunts for bottles of milk From a distance once he thought he saw a string of pearls but when he got near he discovered it was a string of small bottles of milk. When he visited an ice cream parlor he saw everybody drinking milk with straws and enjoying it immensely, Another interesting scene was a castle made Of ginger cakes with columns of milk. It also had a wall around it. This wall was made up of very small bot ties of milk. After they had shown

him these they gave him large glass of milk Tom did not want to drink the milk, but he was afraid the Milk Bottle Men would get angry if he did not, so he drank it. He was very much surprised when he drank it to find it was sweet and delicious. As Tom was just drinking this glass of milk he woke up.
 When he found that all that had happened was just dream he thought he would try out the milk in his own home. Everybody was surprised but pleased at him for asking for a glass of milk
 Tom drank pint of milk daily. He soon recovered and was very thank full for milk and every day now he still drinks his milk.

dead. Also, It Is a comforting thought
that the graves Of our boys who sleep
in the fields Of France, where they
fought and died have become the
