Thorn had turned into a large green
rose bush with great red roses all

Instantly there was loud buzzing

Sure enough! The bush that had

along the ground in peculiar man

sort of reckoning motion.

"Pll get the golden hive and take

4 TYPICAL COLLEGE REUNION
(FiarpeI''S)

Harper'S)
Last June | went to a reunion Of
my college class and saw men |
hadn't met or heard from for
twenty-five years.
These reunions are OF men who
once spent four years living to,
gether. They knew one another
before their shells hardened. All
buncombe and ,pretense may as
well be left at the COR with your
umbrella. No matter how high-up
and famous you may seem to The
word, your classmates will not be
impressed If you really are hollow.
They may not say anything, their
opinions won't he ramlned down
your throat. but you'll feel ii in
the air that they're thinking you
still are lightweight.
Similarly, if you're all right,
they know it, whether the world
does or not. You may have failed
wholly in doing, as distinguished
from being; or you may have q
cloud over your name owing to
some wretched scandal. Well, out
in the world you will feel it, bur
not at your reunion. Not if your
college friends know that you are
man to respect.
1t is like a reunion of navigators
who once sailed out of port young
and hopeful, each in his own yes
sci; and who, now that they're
grizzled and older, put in to the
Azores. or some such blessed isles,
where they can pause for day
from their cruising. They sit on
the beach at a banquet and ex-
change talk of tempests. Then a

could carry food and water and their
only domestic animals-rats and
dogs.
They had no written language,
and no charts. For maps they had
poetic chants.
They knew the consultations and
the seasons, and steered by them.
A calabash with two holes at the
proper angle served as sort of SEX
tant to determine latitude.
For longitude they must have
trusted to dead reckoning.
When they arrived at the approx
mate latitude of their destination,
they headed east or west, spread out
transversely in long north and
south line, each boat just within sig
mailing distance of the next.
The first one to sight the island
would give the signal. which the rest
would pass on, and all converge to
the destination.
Many must have lost the way;
many must have been drowned or
starved The islands were populated
by the survivors.

New York, July 27.-One thing
at which almost every visitor. to
New York marvels is the quality
of the drinking water here. 1t is ice
cold on the hottest day AMI sparkling
clear. 1t is brought down from the
Catskills many miles away in a sys-
tenn which stands as one of the great
est engineering feats in the world.
And of the millions who live here
only a few pay water rental. They
are the home owners, and hometown
ers are as scarce here as hair on a
bald eagle. No meters are used, the
owner Of a house paying five dollars
year regardless Of the amount of
water used.
The vast majority of New Workers
live in apartments and tenements
and landlords pay for the water.
Despite that, there is greater pro-
portion of unwashed citizenry here
than you'll find in amy other city in
America.
There have been several breaks
in large water mains in the past
week or two and these have resulted
in great inconvenience to thousands.
One detoured all traffic from Fifth
avenue and 42nd street, the busiest
corner in the world. with ensuing
confusion on streets for many blocks
in the neighborhood. A flooded tun-
mel stopped subway traffic to Astoria
and almost million people had to
detour by elevated lines and bridges
many miles out of their way.
One stops at moment l':e this to
reflect on the sense of security these
six million New Workers have. Their
lives have been reduced to machine
like movements dependent on scien-
tific articles to make possible the
housing of so vast number in such
q small area. @
Only few miles away thousands
of acres are to be found where the
population could overflow, where
human beings could get halfway
back to normal mode of living.

ADVENTURE OF

THE WALKING ROSE BUSH
"Look, Nick!" cried Nancy. There

ON HEALTH--
IF YOU SWIM - BE CAREFUL

For persons inclined to put on too
much flesh swimming is splendid
exercise.
But for those who are thin and
chill easily for want Of good circula-
ton. swimming is not to be recon-
mended.
Normal children should be taught
to swim. They should know that
their body is lighter than the same
volume of water, SO it is impossible
for them to sink if they assume the
correct position.
But they should not permit them
selves to be cold and shivery.
Neither should grown person.

Adults often injure themselves by
