COME, BROWN PILOTS!
by J. B.. MCCALL

Give us wings and let us fly!
We need not wait until we die
Why should we to the dust still cling?
Other men are soaring high,
Like bold eagles in the sky.
Let us too be on the wingl
Come, brown pilots, with your planes,
Let us roam the great air lanes!
Give us ships and let us ply
The seven seas, to sell and buy
We needs must sail, as well as SOW
The ocean waves may toss US high,
But gold in ports beyond them lie.
The trade-winds call and we must go.
Come, brown pilots, with your ships
Brave the seas with singing lips

At a meeting of the national
rehabilitation committee of the
American Legion yesterday in the
Mayflower Hotel charges were
leveled at the examining board of

claim is that officials are mis-
handling investigations of dis
abled veterans cases. DR.. Hyman
D. Shapiro made the assertion.
With an average of 800 cases
a day, DR.. Shapiro said the ex-
amining board had not sufficient
time in which to pass on the
merits of all the cases brought
before it. Another complaint was
to the effect that the Veterans

Island Moves
Beavers Credited in Part
for Park Lake Freak.
BIZ Science Serrics

By Science Serrice
YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo.,
Il Oct. T. Crescent lake, in
Yellowstone National park, has a
mysterious island that for long has
been observed to change its position
constantly.
Recently, park rangers believe
they have solved the mystery. After
examining the island closely, they
have come to the conclusion that
it is made up solidly of rushes and
beaver cuttings which have become
bound together over many years by
plant growth.
At the present time, beaver are
piling the island surface with new
cuttings and the rangers believe
eventually new gigantic beaver
hut will be erected on the floating
island. Indications are that the
beaver are attempting to anchor the
island Solidly to the floor of the
lake, but so far it remains I'M
moored. Eleven adult beaver are
inhabiting the lake this summer.
