More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
VAIN PRIDE

We daily seek to turn new pages
In the development of man,
We fondly fancy that our age is
The very best since time began.
But when with lofty pride we mention
The pretty figure that we cut
In style and ethics and invention,
The antiquarians say: "Tut! tut!"
We say the mode in women's dresses
Which every day becomes more
smart i
With less material expresses
The very newest word in art.
And then. some deeply lettered student
Arises sternly to aver
That women were still more imprudent
Regarding raiment down in Ur.
We mention that our chefs are able
With all the world on which to draw,
To set vastly better table
Than old Lucullus ever saw.
And then weretold, beyond a question
BY some old Latin quoting cuss-
That Romans died of indigestion
In half the time that it takes us!
And probably if we should utter
A boast about our radio,
And how cur aviators flutter
Across the sea through fog and
Wed find out to our CONSERVATION
How all these things are far from
new
BY quite authentic information
mat all the ancients had 'em, too.

CHILDREN INFECTED
BY CATERPILLARS

BERLIN. R-Contact with cater

of health to be the cause of numerous
cases of skin disease among Berlin
children While not all caterpillars
have this effect nor all children are
equally susceptible, the board cautions
parents against letting their children
touch caterpillars of any description.
Medical experts say the skin erup-
ton is caused by the hooked end of
caterpillar hairs embedded in the skin.
The, accompanying fever is caused by

u. S. and FRENCH
TENNIS STARS
MEET IN FINALS

SOUTHAMPTON, N. Y, Aug. IL. l9
Two Americans and two French
men won their way to tho semi-final
in the Meadow Club invitation tennis
tournament today, assuring a Franco

little in defeating Dr. Carl Fischer
of Philadelphia, former inter-coll-
regiate champion by 6-2, 7-5.
Brugnon defeated Lewis N. White
of Austin, Texas, 6 in the national

By RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON - The very next
time YOU start to say something mean
about members of congress or the
cabinet. stop a moment and think OF
the strain they are under.
Think of the great perils they must
face!
Worst of all their dangers, and quite
in a class by itself, is the condition of
insecurity resulting from the aston
ishing enthusiams of the District of
Columbia police force for chasing
bootleggers.
These Washington cops know their
movies. Hardly day passes without
thrilling newspaper account of a
wild police automobile chase after a
bootlegger. The police stop at Moth
ing in their attempts to catch the
bootlegger and the bootlegger stops at
nothing in his attempt to get away
! No one will object to the cops chas-
ing and catching bootleggers except
regular customers, but these wild pur-
suits on, wheels have become positively
meylacing to the ordinary peaceful
citizen. There is a very profound and
widespread hope in Washington that
the cops one of these days will decide
to capture bootleggers in their places
of business rather than on the main
pike.
Senator Invalided for Life
! It may be comedy to some folks
but it has been no less than tragedy
to others. And the fact that senators
and other government officials are not
! immune to danger from reckless shoot
ing and automobile crashes with cars
going as high as 60 miles an hour was
definitely proven when Senator Frank
L. Greene of Vermont was shot in a
gun duel between police and bootleg
gers near the capitol three years ago
The wound made him an invalid fol
life.
Since that occasion at least four
persons have been shot dead and four
badly injured in the strenuous police
efforts to stop transportation of liquor
Two other persons have been killed in
collisions resulting from bootleg chases
and at least five very seriously in
| jured Figures for wrecked cars and
hairbreadth escapes from death or
| gripping are not available.
All this in the quiet, beautiful scapi-
tai of the United States, birthplace
of prohibition and seat of it's enforce
ment! The facts stand out in vivid
contrast here because the lawless ele-
ment of the capital is not normally
large.
