For Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE OPEN GATE TO SUCCESS.

THE OPEN GATE TO SUCCESS.
Time was when our youth sought tho
vine-covered halls
Where the branches of learning
are taught,
And studied the lore OF the Romans
and Gauls
For the well-ripened wisdom it
brought.
But also they felt that the knowl-
edge they got,
When sailed down back of their
ears
All ready for using, would help them
lot
When they carved out their future
careers.
The studious lads who We're masters
of math
Earned honors and Phi Beta keys,
While the chaps who We're built like
Goliath Of Gath
CA rough neck who lived over
seas)
Went out with the coach every day
in the fall
To practice the glorious game.
And by running and passing and
punting tlI ball
Were soon on the highway to
fame.
And the day when their sheepskins
were duly conferred
And they scattered abroad through
the land
To seek out their callings, wonder
occurred
For 10! their careers were at
Nor sordad realities opened their
Dispelling their fond youthful
dreams,
They did not need struggle and labor
to rise
But signed with professional teams.
And now that the game has a Nation
Wide Scope
And Capital stands at it's back,
No longer the husky young athlete
need grope
For the future he seeks to attack.
No struggle, no trouble, no worry, no
fret,
He only need run with the ball
And wonder, perhaps, with sigh of
regret
Why he went to college at all.

The intuitive power of the female
mind may react to the disadvantage
of all concerned, or at least place its
possessor in an embarrassing situa-
ton.
In fashionable new church in the
Wiltshire district a. recent Sunday
evening service was suddenly inter-
rupted when all the lights of the
building went out. The minister, in
his calm and soothing voice, contin-
ued, hoping perhaps that the lights
would return as suddenly as they
had vanished However, darkness
regned, and he ceased to speak
Hardly had the sound of his voicS
died away, when very audible
aside, an elderly lady in front pew
was heard to say Doctor, you had
better tell everyone to watch their
pocketbooks."

Radio comes into its own as king
of indoor sports in Rumania, where,
as rule, the citizens do not care for
outdoor sports. but prefer to congre-
gate within and are always ready for

Although there is no local broad

sets in all States, which figure repre-
sents a little over s per cent of the

market for radio receivers among the

With the tendency of many stations
to broadcast more agricultural news

of entertainment, religious services

interest in reception on the farms will
continue to increase.

RADIO GOSSIP AND NEWS

Complaints from fans, particularly

broadcast at 10 o'clock each night.
through NAA at Arlington, interfere
| seriously with some of the finest en-
tertainment offered on the air, are
met at the Weather Bureau and the
Navy Department with two answers:
First. that NAA hroadcasts on an
exclusive wave, so that most sets
should be able to tune it. out If the
information is not desired; second,
that large numbers of farmers pick
up this station each night to get
information of considerable impor-
tance to them and not available prior
! to that time.
The Weather Bureau points ont
that 10 o'clock is the earliest hour
upon which the nightly forecasts can
be released, because the necessary
data from their many stations are not
in or compiled in the form of fore
casts until about 9:55 pm. TO re

bureau officials make it quite clear
that 10 pm. is practically the earliest

can be broadcast, putting the solution
of the problem up to the broadcast
stations interfered with.
Another suggestion is that as the
