DECORATION DAY PRAYER
By Arthur Rozelle Bemis. Jr.

Lord of our fathers, hear our prayer
For those who paid the price;
Our stalwart youth, so brave and fair,
Who made the sacrifice.
They slumber in the cypress shade,
They, who so nobly died.
Facing destruction unafraid,
All for nations pride.
We honor them and weep to think
OF youthful hearts so still.
o Lord, that youth like this should
drink
So soon from Lethe's rill!
The price of peace is far too high
In youthful limb and life.
To You, o gracious God, we cry
Through clouds of hate and strife.
We pray that in the hearts of man
The fame of hate may die;
That clouds of war no more shall
span
Our nations peaceful sky.
Lord of our fathers, hear our prayer
For youth now free and gay;
We pray that You may ever spare
Them from the awful fray

SOILS HARD TO KEEP HOME

Air carries as much soil as water
possibly more-from one part of
the country to another. Winds keep
up a continuous interchange of soil
between the different sections of the
continent. Thus, some of the earth
in which the Ohio or Indiana farmer
grows his crops originally served
farmers in distant place-perhaps
in Texas or Manitoba.
This interchange of soils has been
more obvious than usual during the
recent dust storms, which picked up
the topsoil in the Great Plains and
deposited it, in wide path, all the
way across the continent to the At
lantic. From dust counts made by
the Weather Bureau in 1894. DR.. w.
]. Humphreys calculated that 5000
tons of western soil were constantly
drifting over Washington, D. c.,
throughout the day in May 1884
when the most spectacular dust
storm of tina. year was on its way to
the eastern coast Another American
meteorologist, the late Professor j..
A. UddeR, Of the University of Texas,
once estimated that dust storms west
of the Mississippi carry. on an aver
age, S50,000,000 tons of soil LAO
miles year. The annual dust trans
prt in that region, then. reaches the
stupendous figure of 1,225, 900. 000,-
600 mile tons" The solid material
suspended in the air during these
storms ranges from 100 to 10000
tons per cubic mile of air, according
to Professor Udden's estimates.

New York Stock,

NEW YORK. Aug. 80. Up) -
Strength in amusement shares and
utilities and weakness in some of
the oil shares featured dull ses-
sion on the New York stock ex-
change today.
Oil shares were most active with
Socony-Vacuum the most heavily
traded issue on the board. Large
volume also was noted in Consoli-
dated Oil, and Phillips. These is
sues were down fractions to q
point. Development of a price
war on the coast was in progress
to the detriment of the oil group
except the refining units whose
stocks were steady.
Amusement share buying was in
duced by favorable outlook for in
creased business in the autumn.
Paramount new stock jumped a
point to a new high, while Para
mount second preferred rose more
than a point also to new top.
Warner Brothers Pictures gained
more than points and the COM
mon a half point. Columbia Pic
lures was up nearly 2 points.
Loew's gained fractionally.
Utility preferred stocks were up
as much as points while the COM
mon gained fractiona1y. Calum-
bia Gas featured in activity and
considerable volume also was noted
in North American.
Several special issues were bid
up, but the main list did little
because of absence of many traders
for the Labor Day holiday. Steel
issues were around the previous
close most of the day. Motors
moved narrowly until the close
when they picked up in activity
and strength.
National Distilleries got into ac-
ton in the closing dealings, ris-
ing more than a point net. Other
wet stocks were dull but firm
Farm equipment issues were higher
except International Harvester pre-
ferred which lost points. Rails
were irregular in a narrow range.
Aviation shares were quiet and
steady as were coppers.
In the bond market, corporation
issues were irregularly higher. U
S. Governments, however, eased
after yesterdays recovery which
many bond men ascribed to gov
| ernment support.
Volume approXimated $4,000
shares compared with 100000 yes
terday. Curb sales were $4,000
shares compared with 100000 yes
terday.

Once Paralyzed
Youth KnoUn AS
Great Athlete

MANCHESTER BY THE SEA,
Mass, Aug. 30. W.P)-Seven years
ago, hopeless paralytic case, Joe
Hyland, 18, today is one of the
most accomplished and versatile
athletes in Manchester.
Joe was bed-ridden for year.
Nine operations were performed on
his legs. Doctors said the best he
could hope for would be a life on
crutches with steel braces on his
legs.
Young Hyland lived across the
street from a public playground,
and during the early years of con-
valescence watched other boys and
girls play tennis.
One day he hobbled over to the
courts. His friend carried him to
the center of the court, and he
hit a few balls. A year later, he
was able to discard his braces and
use crutches only when tired.
Young Hyland also became in
tereSted in baseball. He first sat
on the bench keeping score and
learning the fundamentals of the
game. Then he started catching.
Joe now is a normally formed
youth.

1t is known that Mulligan serv-
ed as a British regular IN India
before coming 70 this country. It
was about the time that Mulligan
served in India that Kipling was
in the Himalayan foothills seek
ing material for stories.
But Mulhgan refuses to say whe-
ther he was Kipling's Mulvaney.
One writer offered him $4,000 TO
write his memoirs. Mulligan re-
fused, saying:
ITO say anything about the past
would cause dire consequences. 1
have taken a vow TO carry the story
to the grave"
The series Of short stories known
as SOLDIERS Three" were centered
around Lahore. Kipling introduces
the three characters in the story
'Krishna Mulvaney."
Kipling, in response to an in
quiry, said that Mulvaney had
never set foot in America and
never will"
Nevertheless. the legend persists

The veteran correspondent OF

doubt that Italian penetration OF

Africa could begin before early
October. He said the rainy season
in Ethiopia is ending later than
usual and the roads the Italians
need to launch their campaign will
not be completed for another SIX
weeks.
The struggle will not be as one
sided as might be expected III a

Perrigault's opinion, war will con-

local chieftains into separate nego-

But 90 per cent of the taxes Will be
abated for operators who comply
with its provisions. Thus the tax
if upheld would be a severe penalty
on non-compliers.
Aside from the taxing section,
the act is effective Immediately.
Its major provisions:

enforce a code for the bituminous
industry. The act itself prohibits
such unfair" practices as granting
secret price concessions or rebates.
2. Divides the country into %
coal-producing districts, with min
