CLAY
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH

a MAN, they say, is made Of clay;
a Undoubtedly it's true.
But then one finds SO many kinds
OF clay-now haven't you?
Along the creeks are yellow streakS
OF clay that wouldn't do.
I know the mushy sort of slush
Would never make man;
He'd fall apart before you start,
Would crumble in the pan.
That's not the ditch Of clay In which
Humanity began.
And in the yard is clay so hard,
So shrivelled up and dry.
So rough and cold with musty mold
And full of alkali
No love nor wit could soften it
You wouldn't even try.
But there is clay beside the way
That's solid yet will bend,
That gives and takes-the kind that
makes
A fellow and a friend,
That, once you choose, you never lose,
That holds until the end.
So don't begin with clay too thin,
Nor start with clay too thick.
The plastic kind you'll always find
The best to do the trick.
Just add a hand of good, old sand
And then you'll have brick!

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
PLUCK"

EXCEPT as synonym for
Acourage, pluck appears to
have little in common with the
words which are derived from
the French root-word "coeur,"
meaning heart" but, In reality,
they are very closely allied,
having their parentage in the
old belief that the heart is the
seat of bravery. Courage" and
courageous" both bear testi-
mony to this belief, having come
down to US by way Of the
French, while pluck" is essen
TALLY Anglo Saxon and was for
merly the slang term for the en-
trails of an OK or steer. When
the butcher laid open the car
cass of the animal he would d.
vide the great arteries leading
to the heart, cut through the
windpipe, and then lift or pluck
out the heart and lungs, refer
ring to the entire mass as "the
pluck"
Merely as an indication Of the
comparative infancy of the
word, Sir Walter Scott wrote in
his journal in 1927 that certain
man was wanting In that arti-
Gle which is Slackguardedly
called pluck" For a number
of decades past, however, the
word has been sanctioned by
the best usage in English and
this butchers colloQuialism has
taken It's place alongside the
aristocratic words of the Ian
guage.

his bare hands without the aid of in
struments of any kind,
There has been much misunder-
standing about the nature of chiro-
practic technique. 1t is not system
of rubbing or massage, as is common
ly supposed. 1t is not series of jerk
ing, pulling or twisting movements;
nor is it practice of pounding on the
spine. 1t bears no close resemblance
to osteopathy. 1t consists entirely OF
detecting and correcting vertebral dis
placements. By use of his practiced
fingers the chiropractor detects any
displacement existing in the spine. He
then places his bare hands in contact
with the displaced vertebrae and
makes the desired adjustment.
Thus it will be seen that the prac-
tice of chiropractic requires skill
full use of the hands as well as a
knowledge of anatomy, physiology.
and pathology. Chiropractic there
fore is more than science; it is also
an art

Washington and the Red Cross.

The membership campaign Of the
| American Red Cross, which Is today
being conducted in, Washington by the
local chapter. is based upon a sound
| and appealing principle which makes
1t essential that very general commu.
nifty support be accorded unto It.
1t is.the theory Of those charged
| with the raising Of funds for carrying
forward the work Of what is recog.
! nized throughout the world as the
most powerful and effective relief or.
| ganization in any land that those
funds should be supplied In small
amounts by the public at large, rather
than by placing a heavy burden upon
tho few. And that theory, connecting
as 1t does firm belief In popular ap-
probation OF splendid work, has to
date proved successful in its general
application. -. ..
T. II Is, however, an unhappy fact that
Washington has not lent that full
measure OF support to the indicated
, theory which should be. expected. The
, fact has never been heavily empha-
sized, yet the truth is that in last
years campaign approximately two
thirds Of the total local members were
employees Of the various government
departments, and the remaining frac-
ton was. an unhappy reflection upon
the. other residents Of the National
Capital.
That reflection should this year be
wiped out. The works Of relief and
mercy of the American Red Cross
command the proud Endorsement Of
every American. Yet pride in the So
cietv's work is not. in itself, sufficient.
To become an active partner in this
laudable enterprise. costs any man,
woman or child one dollar. It is safe
to say that there are a hundred thou
sand Neutrality-suspicious. who, IL they
would hack abstract approval by con.
, crete support. could find It possible to
! enroll ais members. May they do 80,
to the end Of their individual happi-
ness and the fulillmeut Of a high civic
respon sibility. .
