More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES j. MONTAGUE
SYLVAN SLAVE DRIVERS

Though Doctor Hornaday maintains
With strenuous observation,
That beavers use claws, tails and brains
In their eternal occupation
That they obtain their daily bread
Alone by their unaided labors,
And do not, as is often said
Enslave their helpless muskrat
neighbors,
Despite his logic, which is, strong
sometimes think that he is wrong.
Six beavers sever, I've been told,
A dozen saplingS at one chewing
And plaster them with leaves and
mould
Their arduous nightly task pursu-
ing;
Meantime about their pond they swish
In quest of food for deglutition.
Like bugs, or nuts, perhaps, or fish
To keep themselves in good condi-
tion.
Which is, in my untutored view
More work than six small beasts
could do.
But if they sat about at ease
And forced the muskrats or the OF
ters
And dam the sluggish forest waters
BY bossing things from sun to sun
And giving up their days to slum-
ber,
They might get all their building done

good rules are:

Similarly, a small picture should
not be isolated on large wall space
where it dwindles into insignificance.
Give small pictures the narrower wall

group several of proportionate size so
that they have the effect OF large

course, be harmonious In subject and

When you wake up with backache

such acids overworks the kidneys in

Threes for Insomnia

An authority on neurology and psy-
chology says that sleeplessness may
be cured by an imaginary job Of paint
ing. He recommends painting large
imaginary figure 3s on a large mag
ined black wall with imaginary brush
and can of white paint. 1t is almost
impossible to remain awake, says this
authority, after three figures have
been painted. He usually falls asleep
after he has finished paintingson one
or two figures, but if not. almost In
variably after the third is completed.

LINK P. O. BREAK
 WITH BANK THEF7S
Same Group Operation Out Of Providence Thought Responsible

Pawtucket R, l. Feb, Pl-- Post office and police inspectors were engaged today in running down new clues that might lead to the capture of the four robbers who committed the s260,O0O stamp rob- bery at the Pawtucket post office.
 The authorities were working on the theory that the men made Provi- donce their headquarters, following discovery that two of the four acety- lene tanks which the robbers left behind after cutting into the post of flee vault had been stolen from gar ages in towns not far from that city three months ago. One of the torches was stolen from a garage at Ionsdale, the other from Q Georgia vile garage.
 Post Office Inspector J. J. Breslin, in charge of the investigation, be- lieves that the robbers were con- nected with recent bank breaks in Nashville, West Winfield, N. Y. and Seven Valleys, Pa. In the latter town four men cut open q bank vault with acetylene torches such as were used in the robbery here.
 The postal authorities were of the opinion that the thieves would at tempt to dispose of the S260,000 worth of stamps by selling them at reduced prices to fences" who in turn would sell them at q discount to disreputable mail order houses. They minated that several such companies in New England and New York would be kept under close sur- veillance.
