DARK CHAPTERS

Into each life some rain must fall,
but greater be the storm when we un-
gratefully walk out Of the warmth of
Gods sunshine to seek after treasures
in the dark. The children of the
Israelites were bitten, when they
broke the hedge in search of hidden
grapes. They could not see the rattle
snakes bed but in search of hidden
treasures in the dark; they were de-
stroyed.
The pages of the dark chapters of
our lives are filled through disobedi-
ence for the law of Heaven still:
stands, he that breaketh a hedge the
same shall be bitten. In the march of
time we are headed for the garden of
tomorrow to pick the blossoms from
the seeds of yesterday. Yesterdays
wrong, cen though it be in a closet,
shall be revealed on the housetops of
tomorrow, written across the pages of

COLORED MEMBERS OF DRAFT
BOARDS

In keeping with their resolve and
duty to show by word and deed that
they are in truth an integral part of
polyglot America, colored Americans
should be especially vigilant in seeing
to 1t that they are duly represented in
all national efforts. Such an effort of
the first importance is the establish
ment of the draft boards, the person

pointed by the Governors of the
several states Here, in Massachu-

organizations should make their de-

Commonwealth.

Americans in national defense is APP

declared. Our governor has
more power than a man with pro-
per motives wants or one with
improper motives should be
given. l denounce, further, the
practice of demanding undated
designations from men appointed
by the governor as well as his
authority to remove, without
hearing, officials elected by the

In order to curb these powers,
Mr. Patty said he would ask the
legislature to pass a law making
an improbable offense the de-
manding of undated designations
and, in lieu of the present
method of removing untrust-
worthy officials, the establish

ROBERT FROST, LEADING POET, ONLY
Published First Poem, In 1892; Visiting In Key West
WRITES WHEN THE FANCY STRIKES HIM
BY JACK CUMMINGS

Robert Frost, of Boston, one of
the outstanding poets in the
world is now in Key West at the
Casa Marina Hotel. Mr.. Frost is
here to recuperate from a serious
operation that he just underwent
and plans on being in the Island
City for at least three weeks.
Mr.. Frost, as he is today at 65,
is quiet, soft voiced man with
keen, yet kindly eyes, and gray
hair. A man who enjoys living,
living over and again the ex
periences, adventures and loves
of his boyhood. Mr.. Frost does
not force himself to write. If the
urge hits him, alright. if not
today, then tomtrrow; if not this
year well, then, next year.
That is why his poems, his readers
aver, are so well loved by every
one. There is nothing forced in
them-they are free and easy ex-
periences that he, himself, or
someone near to him have en-
countered.
Mr.. FrCst does not believe in
fancy esthetics. A poem, he ex-
planned, begins with a lump in
the throat, a homeSickneSs or a
love sickness. 1t is reaching out
toward expression, an effort to
find fulfillment. 1t is the recap
turing of some heretofore forgot
ten incident-maybe a sunset, a
quiet evening at home or lone
ly road. A complete poem is one
where an emotion has found its
thought and the thought has
found the words, the poet says.
Robert Frost was born in San
Francisco March 20, 1875. His
father, a New Highlander, edited

WASHINGTON MERRY CO-ROUND' EDITOR
S. Allen Is A Staunch Island City Enthusiast
Sees KEY WEST AS WRITER'S COLONY

Key West is an ideal spot for
a writers colony, in the opinion
of Robert S. Allen, one of the edi-
tors of the Washington Merry
Go Round, who is vacationing
here with Mrs. Allen at the Coral
Hotel.
Mr.. Allen feels that the Island
is packed with lore that has new
er been touched, that it has an
unusual amount of the pictures
que which should be an inspira-
ton to any writer, who is serious
about his work. He qualified his
statement, however, by adding
that in order to turn out any
good work, one would have to be
strong man, who could work
by the clock and overcome the
pleasant feeling of timeIessness
and aimlessness which lures the
average Individual off to the
beach for uncounted hours or
gives him the idea that to sit and
dream is the proper way to pass
the time.
Remarking that he found it
very difficult to concentrate on
the little bit of work that he in
tends to do while here, Mr.. Allen
suggested that there was reason
for the fact that few really great
stories have been written about
Key West. Writers come down
here, he says, and are overcome
by the wealth of untouched ma
terial they find. They plan to
do great things with it. Then
they fall into the 'manana" hab-
it and drift through their stay
here, accomplishing nothing. In
spite of this, however, Mr.. Allen
thinks that it would be a very

The ship, a 1890 tonner, sunk
Immediately following a terrific
explosion. It was not known
whether it was torpedoed or
mined. Some credence was given
to activities of the l. r. A. for
the disaster, in that the ship
piled regularly between England
and North Ireland.
The two /. r. A. terroriStS,
Peter Barnes and James Rich
ards, were executed this morn

reprisals against. the government
