THE cAMEL'S BACK

THE scene of today's story, Just for
change, is the wild Harhar
jungles of Abyssinia.
The natives were in a state of the
widest disorder, for their troubles
were proving too much for them, and
a revolution was brewing. Yet the
Harlan savages were a cautious bunch,
and BlubJaw, their champion orator
and sworker-up, harangued them in
vain to take the decisive step.
Squx eraw Dimbo splaw p he cried.
(''King Dimbo is tyrant and should
be dethroned. He allows us only six
wives apiece and imposes ruinous taxes
for every additional wifel')
"Skrix shrox" Ono use acting hasti-
ly"), muttered the populace.
"Kincan yaybo wimbo yan!" ("He
allows the common people one meal a
day while he eats seventy cried Blub-
jaw.
''Dithy ramhus" (''Don't let's be
rash'), murmured the mob.
"Slux nindo yithter wow" C'He has
forbidden us to Emoke!'').
"Osh kosh" owed better not do
anything reckless"). =

There was a mighty cultural roar
as the long-suffering public rose to
arms and rushed toward King Dimbo's
bungalow.

u)HO SAID
"Labor cOnquers
all things.

TT is said that when Homer, the
= great epic poet of ancient Greece,
was alive he lived in poverty and
Travelled about from place to place
existing on the sparing hospitality of
those who would shelter him for
the sake of hearing his adventures
related. Years after his DEATH when
his work began to be properly appreci-
ated, no less than seven cities of
Greece fought for the honor of calling
him g native of their locality. And to
this day it remains a mystery where
the mans real home was located
Modern knowledge of Homer rests
upon his known works. When he was
born is as much mystery as where
he was born. Historians agree in fix
ing the year of his birth sometime be-
tween 1000 and 700 B. c.. and mis-
birthplace somewhere in Greece
The poets best known works are his
Illiad and the Odyssey. The Illiad is
the story of the siege of Illium, or
Troy. and relates the attempt to res.
cue Helen, wife of the king of Sparta,
whom Paris, son of the king of Troy,
had abducted.
The Odyssey concerns itself with
the adventures of Odysseus or Ulysses,
as he is better known on his way
home from the battle of Troy and of
his welcome by his faithful wife, Pencil
Ope, and the punishment of her pre-
sumptuouS suitOrs.
BY all of the great poetry critics of
the world Homer's work is ranked as
among the finest. His memory has
been further kept alive by numerous
busts-all of which, of course, are
wholly ideal-Wayne D. McMurPay.

Irish Fight Vaccinatior

Vaccination is compulsory in the
Irish Free State, but during the
troubles of the last few years the en-
forcement of the law has been al
lowed to lapse. In many places the
children have not been vaccinated for
ten years. The government is now
urging the local boards of health to
insist on vaccination and to prosecute
defaulters, But feeling has grown
up against vaccination and in Wexford
the local authorities have refused to
obey the governments Instructions.
The provision in the English law ex-
empting from vaccination conscien-
tious DIRECTORS to it does not apply to
Ireland.

= all over the country, especially in
the rural districts, that deaths never
come singly." In some sections they

sections they say two deaths. Those

DEPARTING SUMMER

TINE summer may be gone az
L some do say,
Yet, seems to me, she fingers
on the way,
And as she slowly moves along
her track
feel she sort of wistfully looks
back
And smiles on all about her quite
as though
She really wished she did NOT
have to go
And maybe that is why Septem-
Der days
Still hold so much of summer in
their ways.

"How is she wasted:'

She had dinner dresses-none that

that they could afford $500 for a
dress only for the most extraordinary

herself it was her duty to do this.
But she counted up what she had
spent for clothes in three months and
was a little staggered. She didnt
take the dress. The denial made ber
bitter. If she had to compete with
another, at least the stakes ought to
be even.
Three days before the dinner the
salesgirl phoned to her. Some one
had spilled ink on the blue velvet
gown. But Mrs. Herrick was SO
slender, perhaps they could take out
the ruined piece without marring the
line. If so, she could have it at an
enormous reduction

The coveted dress was hers fol
