SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Craftsmanship in June.
Somewhere winds are softly calling
Far across the briny deep
And the shadows gently falling
Lure the weary mind to sleep.
Yet the brain goes on forever
Faithful, meeting every test
OF dutiful endeavor-
But my larynx needs a rest.
When the locust blossoms offer
Sweetest nectar to the bees
And the rose filings from its Golfer
Golden pollen to the breeze
Life is fair from early daytime
Till the twilight marks its close.
I would still prolong the gaytime,
But my larnyx needs repose.

Men Blamed for Jibe

alleges well known American novelist.
This is just sample of the sort Of
criticism leveled at our domestic cuisine
by uncharitable foreigners. In reality
cur menfolk, rather than our women,
should be blamed for this sad state Of
affairs, If it actually exists, for 1t Is
the Englishman's conservative taste and
suspicion of anything new which damp
the enthusiasm of aspiring cooks. More

he is eating, and if a new dish or a
new way of doing an old one is ven I

will eat with a certain amount of en-

served in restaurant or abroad, but
give him "bouillabaisse'' in his own

Reasons for Delay.
At the present rate, it is expected
that Washington's quota will be filled
In day or two. The Slowness Of the
procedure up to the present Is ex-
planned as follows:
First, the unemployment relief work
ers went through the case records of
families to whom they were extending
aid. Names of all unmarried males be-
tween 10 and Is were listed. Then
these names were classified in residen-
tial districts. Each social worker was
given the list for her district Then she
visited each man and, If he actually
fitted the requirements, instructed him
to make out an application and go to
the recruiting station.
Many names on these lists, failed to
qualify. In some cases the ages were
wrongly stated, In some cases the young
men were away from nome ana In some
cases obviously was physically incom-
petent. 1t has not been case of vol
unteering. In many cases two or three
days were required to find the man and
carry out the procedure. These house.
toulouse canvasses were beginning to
bear fruit in the great squirt Of enlist
ments yesterday afternoon and today.
From now on, volunteers will be &C.
cepted. Instructions have been issued
from the off1ce Of Robert Fechner,
director Of the Emergency Conservation
Corps, that any man within the age
limits who has dependents Is to be ac-
cepted. regardless Of whether the family
he wishes, to aid Is located in Wash
ington or not The money will be sent
anywhere in the United States. The

part Of the pay must be allotted
