OVER THERE

A thought comes stealing OCT me, And the lights grow kind Of dim: There's stinking trench around
 me,
 Over there's my puddle Jim. We are waiting for the pusl-on. Frozen chins are cupped in hand, Bl0ated sappers cut the wires, Where they belly no mans land. There Is death around the corner. But I've seen the thing before, Like 6 cantcen or Very, It's q part of this mans war, And at times it's like . blanket, Sort of comes just as your due, When your guts are dripping from you,
 And by God, you know you're
 through. What's the difference to soldier. Just adventure of kind. Though death fOgs your dimming
 peepcrs,
 And you know you're going
 blind, For your blood Is holy water, As 1t trickles in the sand, And Valhalla greets hero, From the stink of No Mans
 Land,

New York.-Fancy salaries cred tied to screen, radio and stage stars are but slightly larger than those received by a number of perform CTS whose names are completely unknown to the world t-large.
 These are the very special en- tertainers of the many foreign colonies in and around New York.
 They are importations from the homeland and they bring native songs and dances to the trans planted peoples of the earth. Par ticularly are they. demanded on such occasions as weddings, anni- versaries. birthdays and holidays.
 The other day, quite by accident, I encountered two Syrian dancers, who supply the necessary Arabic twist to gala events. Their ankles appeared the size of an average slim waist. have no notion of their piano-side weights. They had just returned from an upstate wed- ding in Syrian colony; and had received $250 per night for an ap- pearance.
 Brooklyn boasts the largest set tlement. The only Arabic news paper in America is issued there.
 Every nationality has it's quota of native artists. These command a loyalty and following such as is unknown to the most popular American favorites. It is more than that; it is downright affection and adoration.
 For generations the Yiddish the aters of the East Side held certain actors in veneration. Such per- formers could fairly hypnotize their audiences into tears or laugh ter. The uptown playgoers knew little or nothing of these heroes. But the Ghetto would have no others. This, sad to say, is not quite the case to-day. Oldtimers have died or moved away; q younger generation has been brought up on movies and Broadway. Two of the famous old players have made their way from Second avenue to Broadway during the current sea son. One of the most modernistic of the "art'' theaters of the East Side has closed it's doors.
 There is, however, but slight change in the huge family and neighborhood gatherings staged night after night in the hundreds of halls and bathrooms of the side streets. Almost every old-world festivity can be discovered by one who is patient and watchful.
 Recently, I was seated in a Ru- manian cafe in Second avenue when party of 50 arrived bear ing a colorful canopy under which marched a bride and groom. The parade was headed Aby the weep ing parents of the bride; for the departure from the household IS taken as a sad event.
 On the other hand, I have often encountered crowds hilariously celebrating a death. For among many people there Is rejoicing and much bibbling when d>ath ends

THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER

Sleep on, thou wise!
 Nor wind nor tide disturb your
 slumber deep. Though at your catafaique
 may weep A million eyes; Great man of time.
 For through your genius grim,
 You spoiled the wrath of him, Across the Rhine. Sleep on great heart!
 The ghosts of millions dead
 Swish past your sOmbrc bed; They played their part; Your sword ifs shcatbed. But In this busy world
 A flags unfurled What you bequcathcd. Sleep on great soul!
 Your psalm of life Is said:
 The Unknown Soldier dead; The Marne drums roll.

A GOLD STAR MOTHER SPEAKS

He sleeps where blood red peoples blow
 Mid crosses standing row on row, Larks fly, but on the wings of peace Clouds sail, sweet monitors of peace
 My soldier sleeps. He sleeps where night winds croon . lullabye, And stars look down, nor ques- ton why, Small mound that tells the price he paid When war of blood and flesh was made
 My soldier sleeps. He sleeps, but confined In terrain That knows the seasons snow and rain, That feels the sun, each burning ray like flaming powder of wars
 My soldier sleeps. Hc sleeps where blood red peoples blow
 Mid crosses standing row on row, My tears anOint the brown terrain. God gave, then took him back again
 He sleeps. my
 soldier sleeps.

 Real Estate Pool
 A pool to handle real estate mortgages, now tied up in such great volume in savings banks and other financial institutions, was proposed. Another was suggested to relieve the railroad bond situa- ton, and the Interstate Commerce Com mission gave. 1t validity by formally recommending that the railroads pool their earnings, to help the weaker roads.
 The idea Is spreading likewise into the foreign field. It is. the basis of the international credit bank advocated by Emile Franc .qui, Belgian financier, which would refund the huge volume of short

WHEN VOLCANOES

0@NhD
 B.sEAK LOOSE
 In olden times the Romans talked about "VOlcanoes," the god or nre. Sometimes the Romans spelled the name "Vulcanus," and the mod ern spelling Is Vulcan"
 Volcanus of Vulcan supplied the name we use for the volcanoes which send forth fire, ashes, lava and steam. When Nesuvius broke loose with the terrible eruptions which buried Ponpeii, the Romans must have thought that Vulcans furnace was getting too hot. ".
 An exciting yoicano exists in Alaska. 1t is called katmai, and is located on the, southern coast. In June, 1912, 1t broke loose and there were three mighty explosions. One of these were heard in Juneau, Alaska. a distance of 75O miles.
 Katmai actually blew it's head off" Five cubic miles of rock were blasted, making darkness in all the region around. This darkness lasted for 60 hours. The nearby island of Kodiak was covered with ashes to a depth of one foot. A glacier which lay next to the vol cano was broken down in two. OD- servers who looked down into the crater a few months later saw a biue-green fake of lava which sputtered and boiled-as if 1t were waiting for another chance to fly up to the outside world.
 Sometimes weak places In the earth crust are under the sea, and form outlet for volcanoes. Ashes and lava are poured into the ocean, and there must be a terrible battle between water and fire down in the deeps where no one can see.
 The cones which volcanoes build under the ocean surface grow in size as centuries pass. If the vol cano remains active, the cone will finally reach the surface and will form an island. The Hawaiian is- lands are among those which were formed in this manner. The famous Mauna Loa volcano of Hawaiia grew from the floor of the ocean. Commencing at q depth of 16,000 feet, 1t was built np to the surface. Even then 1t did not stop growing. and the peak is now two and a half miles above sea level.

FALL IN FLANDERS

Another fall comes into view,
 Tn Flanders, But you are dead and cannot do
 In Flanders, The things that marked your bloody reign, When patterned i'm wars tragic skcin, To find in death, surcease from pain,
 In Flanders. A lark flies slowly overhead,
 In Flanders, Quite mindful of the noble dead,
 In Flanders, A cross, akin to wayside shrine, Looms large In this, the spring of time, But you are gone, old pal of mine,
 In Flanders. The rusting caisson rumbles through,
 Your Flanders, Death touched you with anOinted dew,
 In Flanders, First call whines through an eerie night, A million ghosts stand for right, God grant you His eternal light,

(United Press Correspondent) Washington. (UP)-The "pooT idea is thus far the outstanding contribution of the depression of political economy, and 1t may prove the saving one.

Franqui dis cussed his plan here with Presi- dent Hoover, Governor Eugene Meyer of the federal reserve board and George l.. Harrison, governor of the New York federal reserve bank.
 Idea Not New
 The pool" idea is no newer than the day when primitive men, con- fronted with a failure of crops or some other disaster, brought all their produce together and allotted it equally so that all might eat. But in modern times there has been no such widespread application of this old principle as now.

terror Wilbur, under whose auspices the
educators launched their campaign for
is per cent of the radio wave lengths.
Next they enjoy programs like the
Farm and Home Hour and after that
their preference runs to business talks
and news flashes
DR.. Shipherd based his findings on a
survey consisting of placing of IS sets
at various places within radius of IS
miles of the Tennessee University, 10
of the sets being placed in homes, two
IN elementary school, two in high
schools and one each in a country store
and village restaurant Nothing Is said
whether they care for any form OF
music. DIR. Shipherd admits, however,
that "the results of this listening and
the study thereof are too fluid and
nebulous for isolation and analysis.
Many of these listeners have never be-
