More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
THE AUX.

The aux was a bird which had ex-
cellent wings,
But lessons in flying. are difficult
things.
So he said to himself. and his par
ents as we'll:
"There is no place as nice as the
place where we dwell,
So why should 1 sail DER the billowy
tide
To countries where nothing but
strangers abide?
And therefore, why bother to learn
how to fly?
1 simply shant do it, say t.
Tut tut" said his parents, the
wings that you wear
Will carry you willingly every
where.
You can shoot from the shore through
a shower of spray
To the blue little bays where the
flying fish play.
You can rise to the skies on the
breath of the bales
And see the great battles of sword
fish and whales,
You can find rare adventures far
over the sea-.
Said the aux: "They mean nothing
to me-"
81 would rather stay here on this
warm pleasant beach,
And bask in the sunshine, while well
within reach
Are all of the oysters and clans I
could wish
AS we'll as abundance of succulent
fish
Who can't swim away when 4 fain
would be fed
Or offer resistance, because they are
dead"
Don't you think" said his parents,
these blessings will pall?"
"Why, no." said the AUX, mot at
ALL"
So he sat on the beach till fox
happened by
A fox with hungry and glittering
eye
Who easily made the poor creature
his prey
While his parents, to save their own
skins flew away.
And when we are told that the aux
is now linked
With the ichthyosaurus because he's
extinct,
We say, without ever a plying
sigh:
"The aux was just lazy, that's why"
Immune.
One good thing about being a
cake eater is that you don't have to
view the formation of a bread trust

HERO AND
LEANDER"

ONE Of the most famous pairs
" Of lovers in ancient story are
Hero and her Leander. Hero is
the name Of the young woman in
the CASEY The account Of their
sad love affair Is contained in an
old Greek tale. 1t tells how Hero,
a. priestess of Venus, fell in love
with Leander, who swan across
the Hellespont every night to visit
her. The Hellespont is the strait
that is now called the Dardanelles,
between Asiatic Turkey and
Europe. 1t is four miles across,
at it's widest point, but is as mar
row as one mile in some places.
One night Leander was drowned
while attempting to make the
swim, and the heartbroken Hero
threw herself into the same
water. Several poets have en-
ployed the tragic tale as a subject
for their verses, notably Marlowe
and Chapman.
The poet Byron, who was a
noted swimmer, emulated the feat
of Leander in swimming the
Hellespont: he was accompanied
by Lieutenant Ekenhead.

it just az much fun now as then

All these measures cleanse the
skin from within by nourishing
it with pure Blood. The simpler
the outward cleansing the better,
provided it Is thorough.
Al daily bath, and washing your
face with warm then cold water
may be sufficient. Possibly cold
water alone, softened with few
drops OF lemon juice may agree
better still with your complexion.
Or you may prefer to make lib
eral use Of olive oil or pure cold
cream.
All depends on your own type
Of skin, and the only way TO
prove what II needs is cautious
experiment, always leaning to the.
side Of simplicity.
When you find by experiment
OF six weeks or more, the oil,
cold cream, astringent or warm
and cold water treatment that
agrees best with your individual
skin. stick to this method and
don't try every new ointment and
cream that is advertised.
For your skin is naturally beau
tiful and healthy, and all you
need is to keep it clean from
without and within, without In
any way hurting its delicate struc-
ture in order to possess an ex-
quisite complexion.

LIVER since young Mark Halls
II moved into the neighbor-
hood where little Ellen Meade
lived, the two children had play
ed together. They built forts in
the Sand. doll house with blocks.
They rode their velocipedes and
rolled their hoops.
Then, one day while they were
resting a few minutes, up came
Ellen's 14-year-old brother James.
Hello Markw James shouted.
Hes your sweetheart, isn't he.
Elem"
Now Ellen did not know exact
~ what a sweetheart was, but
she recognized her brothers
teasing tone; so she answered
pertly, you hush up"
OF course, that pleased James,
and he continued to tease the
children until another brother,
Charles, Joined the group. kiss
her, Mark" urged Charles, and
the brothers laughed.
With that Mark jumped up and
ran home and Ellen also slipped
away.
That evening. at the supper
table, the two boys exchanged
glances and they smiled at Ellen
in that exasperating manner used
especially by brothers.
"Ellen's got sweetheart;
Ellen's got a beau" chanted
Charles.
Mother, make them let me
alone" the child walled.
Charles, you and James be-
have yourselves" said their
mother. But they knew from the
twinkle in her eyes that she was
not very much in earnest. SO
they continued their sly teasing
until Ellen was utterly miserable.
Laer, she realized that If she
played with Mark any more she
would probably be leased again.
So all the next morning she stayed
in the house and refused to
answer when he called. She was
very lonely and so was little Mark.
Late in the afternoon Mark came
again to call Ellen out to play
with him. And Ellen hearing her
playmate's call ran out, without
thinking about yesterdays expert
ence. Just as she appeared In
the doorway. where Mark met
her, James and Charles returned
home. At the sight of her broth

resorted less to physical force
when he began to use deception.
BY this means he obtained peace,
safety from beasts and inde-
pendence; falsehood became O
virtue with him.
The character of a child IL very
like that Of a savage in many
ways; most children are accom-
plished little liars from birth.
The urge for lying must be
innate, for children continue to
practice falsehood in spite OF the
greatest efforts to teach them to
tell the truth. This is a self
protecting mechanism based on
the chiId's sense of inferiority.
Since q child's lie Is instructive,
it is largely unconscious, for con-
-scfous lying is the result of ex-
perience, which the child has not.
Imagination plays an important
part, for it is actually the ma
terial OF which lie is composed.
