More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
OFF THE PARKWAY

OHF THE PATHWAY
(With Acknowledgements to Punch
1 know where the moles come up out
of their holes
OF an evening to bask in the moon
1 know where the quail build their
nests in the vale
found half a dozen last June.
There's nice little nook in the bend
of the brook
Where a frog makes hoarse, gut
teral sounds,
And we met eye to eye when I CHANGED
to brush by
One day when drove out of bounds.
There are crickets enough in the
the thickets rough
To fill half the world with their
song,
And they fly round my knees like
an army of bees
When my spoon and N.Y. mashte
goes wrong.
You haply would swear that the rae
Gals weren't there,
For they always are silent by day,
But when days become warm 1 can
stir up swarm
Whenever l go out to play.
A chattering wren has been nesting
again
In the bole of hollow old birch
Which I'd never have found if the
whole day around
I had patiently spent in the search.
But L hunted by mall when it hap
pened to fall
In the wood, when a brassie L
pressed
And while paving about, the wee
songster popped out
From the door of her deep hidden
nest.
I know where the snakes lie coiled up
in the brakes
And snap at the insects that pass,
Where the chipmunk lies low with
the bright eyes aglow
In the edge of the long reedy grass.
For unless, when I play, on the fair
way they stray
I soon must encounter them all
For make little jaunts to their va
rious haunts
Every DAY when I hunt for my ball.
ALVvays Hope
Not every boy in America will be
president of the United States, but a
lot of them will probably become
British golf champions.
Funny, Isn't 1t.
Lots of people would have more
nerve if they had less nerves.

APPROPRIATION
REQUESTS FOR
SCHOOLS MADE

Down to Be Near Levy,
Says Business Director.

Requests for appropriations in
the 1926-27 school city budget from
various departments were turned
over to Business Director Ure M.
Frazer by departmental heads today,
it was announced.
Frazer said tentative figures run
high. but when the budget is con
sidered by the finance committee it
will be sufficiently ctu down to be
near the $1.10 levy, the rate Of the
1925-26 budget under which the
board still is working.
Department heads each year rec
ommend appropriations as large as
possible. Frazer said the finance
committee will pare the requests
first into necessary amounts and
later to essentials"
He said there was no chance that
the $1,800,000 building program rec
commended by the instruction COM
mittee to the buildings and grounds
division for next year could be met.
He said about so per cent of this
might be taken care Of. The Short
ridge High School $1.O00,00O' appro-
priation already is provided for in
the present budget.
Frazer declared it will take ten
years to have proper housing con-
ditions in the school city. He said
until every portable is torn down
and new and ample buildings erected,
the conditions will not be desirable.

WASHINGTON. June 17.-Finan-

chief of the drys in Washington.
Under close examination by Sen
ator James A. Reed of Missouri, wet
leader and chairman of the investi-
eating committee, Wheeler divulged:
The national organizat ation gathered
between $150,000 and $200,000 in
1925.
State Funds
State organizations raised their
own sums individually and disbursed
them.
In perhaps 100 court cases the
League has dug up facts for prose
cutting uthorities-chief1y to protect
prohibition agents who they believed
had been framed"
Wheeler's salary now is $4,000 a
year and his career as a prohibition
list started in college in 1898, when
he worked for expenses.

The examination rivaled in bitter
ness if not in sensations the exami-
nation of William Jennings Bryan,
evangelist, by Clarence Darrow in
the Dayton evolution trial. It did
not progress far enough to get into
salient facts which Reed was seek
ing-questions Of how much the drys
spent in the Pennsylvania primary.
Wheeler did not have a record of
the financial activities Of the League,
and he gave only the 1925 estimate.
Reed demanded that he wire off,
cials of the League who had the
books and furnish the committee
with a report on every cent that
came in and went out since 1920.
