More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
PRETTY TOUGH.

Much fault with trees has long been
found
Because their trunks are fashioned
round
And, when sawed up, leave bulging
flanks
Which will not serve at all as planks.
If trees grew square, the mill-men say,
Their cares would vanish all away.
SO men have searched the seven seas
And found at last square sided trees
Yet still must men fare forth in hordes
TO fell these trees and saw up boards,
And every saw which cleaves them
must
Leave in it's wake a trail. of dust
Which winds across the mill yard toss,
Creating economic loss.
A thing on which we all should frown
Because it cuts the profits down.
If trees would only saw themselves
In shingles, laths and pantry shelves,
And turn themselves to tidy rows
OF small suburban bungalows,
Or fall apart in any plan ~
That fitted with the needs of man,
What stacks of money could be made
BY people in the lumber trade!
Too bad that everything of worth
Produced by this imperfect earth,
The trees, the stones the coal, the oil,
Involves, in getting, so much toll.
Too bad that man, who would prefer
To lie around and never stir
Where fields are green and skies are
blue,
Has always so much work to do!

made up Of draft troops from New

Irish antecedents with a pretty wit of
his own. In front of Chateau Thierry
a machine-gun bullet passed through
one of his knee joints. When he was
able to get about on crutches, sur
geon at the base hospital said to him
one day:
Hogan, how far can you walk on
that leg now?"
"Well, SIR" said Hogan, ''Pm dom

How 1t Started
THE SACRED ARCANA"
By JEAN NEWTON

u FREQUENTLY, in the newspapers,
i we come across this term. The
reference is usually political, in the
sense of being admitted to the sacred
arcana" or inner councils of party
or a group.
"Arcana" is the plural Of "arca-
num-" meaning secret, which goes
back to the Latin "arcere," ito en-
close" And the origin Of the ex-
preston sacred arcana" takes US
back to original arcana, which was
the name given by alchemists and
astrologers of the Middle ages to the
hidden secrets and special knowledge
which they were supposed to be seek
ing.
At various times "the arcana" was
another name for the philosophers
stone" the "elixir of life'' and vari-
Gus chemical compounds which seemed
on their discovery to have almost
magic powers.

Next, Billie Brownie called on the
European Flamingo. He saw how the
sides of the tongue of this bird had
tooth-like parts which helped him to
sift all the trash that he brought up
from the bottom with his webbed feet
when in search of food.
"We like small bits of food" ex-
planned the European Flamingo.
''Tm the largest of all the birds of
prey" said the Condor. 81 have

My family come from the Andes, of

"You do look rather dreadful" adj
mitted Billie Brownie.

'I'm gray and l have a darker gray

"Once there was a lady who came

Then Billie Brownie went to see the
vultures, but they were busy listening
to everything that was going on, and
they seemed to be listening so atten
lively that they could pay no atten
| ton to anything else at all.
He stopped and saw some small
bald eagles, and he thought to him
self that they looked very much like
golden eagles, but the little bald
eagles told him they could be TOLD
apart by their unfeathered legs
which bit of information Billie
Brownie promised to remember.
