Uncle Rays Corner

During my boyhood I used to look
forward to the circus parade which
would wind through the city once
each year. Only few automobiles
were in use at that time and there
was little worry about the stopping
of motor traffic A parade usually
took about an hour to go by.
The parade was free and that is
one reason I liked it so we'll Circus.
performers rode past on the backs
of snOWWhite or coal-black stecds.
There also were cages with wild ami
mails inside, and somewhere along
the line would come elephants.
1t was common for the elephants
to march in single file, the one be- -!
hind the leader holding the leaders /;
tail with his trunk. The second
elephant had his tail held in the;
same way by the third elephant, and
so on to the last of the big animals.
The last thing in the parade was,
musical instrument called the
"calliope." It made music of a sort.
put l was sorry when the sounds
came to my ears-since it meant the
end Of the parade
In those days I had no idea that
the name of the calliope had come
down the ages from the tine Of
ancient Greece. In my boc;s at
school I never had seen anything
about the goddess known as Calliope.
Evening star., 1943-10-13

The Greeks told about nine god
desSes who had charge Of different
kinds OF learning. They were known
as Muses. and their leader was
Calliope. Her name meant "Beauti-
ful Voice and She was supposed to
rule over a special type Of poetry.
All the MUSES. were said to be
daughters Of the great god Zeus. who
lived On Mount olympus. The Ro-
mans called this god Jupiter, mean
ing "Zeus the Father
When a Greek artist made a pic
ture Of Calliope. he showed her hold
ing a WaX-cOvered tablet and a
stylus. The stylus was an ancient
form of the pencil and was used 10
scratch words on the Wa surface.
Since Calliope dealt with poetry,
II may seem strange that her name
should be used for a musical irStru-
ment. Yet We must remember that
music was mixed with poetry in the
minds of people long ago. A poet
often sang the words ne had written.

strings of Tyre.

part of our country. They are harm
less. They rarely do any appreciable
damage, though they are greedy leaf
eaters. When disturbed. they usually
drop to the ground, remaining as still
as a tWig. Later. the insects will
stroll quite casually up again where
the leaves are abundant. Should
a leg or two be lost, a new one is
grown b. the time Of the next mott.
1t will be crooked and weak, but it
is better than none.
The eggs are so different that
many naturallStS have been deceived
by them. They resemble the small
black plump seeds Of several Of our
leguminous plants. They even have
a white stripe on one side. They are
laid in clusters or fastened TO the
plant. One female is responsible for
about 100 eggs. Sometimes. thcv
are dropped hit or miss fashion
as she Strolls over the leaves. They
are heavy enough to make a faint
sound as they strike the leaves on
the ground. Snow and ice co not
hurt them. Some of them VIII not
hatch until weeks after others have
produced their treasure.
Young walking sticks may there
fore be seen in all stages Of growth
through The summer. They are at
first pale EelloWish-green: they
moult twice before assuming the
adult colorS Of grayish black or
brown. When the foliage turns in
autumn, the walking sticks also
change enough to blend more per-
fectlv with it. Cold weather is their
death knell. But there will be Young

Miss Ann Rodriguez became the

the U. S. Army Monday afternoon
at 4:30 at the court house. Judge
j. e. Simpson, justice of the peace
officiated at the quiet ceremony.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Ullman were
the couples only attendants. The
bride was attractive in an ice blue
silk suit with white hat and
matching accessories. Her cor
sage was of gardenias. Mrs. Ull-
man chose a silk suit in shade of
pink and her corsage was also of
gardeniaS.
After a brief honeymoon the
couple will be at home at Mary
vile, Calf. where Corporal Duarte
is stationed.
Mrs. Duarte has been the assist
ant cashier at local theatre for
the past four years, while her hus-
band, a native of Ell Centro, had
been employed in the shipyards at
San Diego prior to entering the
service five months ago.
An informal reception for the
couple was held Monday evening on

There has been much confusion
about manpower and the induction
rate, some of which was attribut-
able to the fact that changing con-
ditions presented changing prob
ms. In mid-April McNutt and
Hershey explained new regulations
which seemed to mean that all
registrants between 18 and 38. ex-
cept 100000 in especially deferred
classifications, would be inducted
by Jan. l, 1914. At that time the
armed forces were planning to have
10,800,000 men in uniform by the
year end.
AS OF April 30, Hershey told a con-
gressional subcommittee that T.
8O5,924 men had been inducted, S.
457,924 of whom were drafted and
2,348,000 of whom enlisted. There
were about 100000 men in the arm
ed forces when Selective Service
was set up. That made an aggregate
OF approximately 100000 men in
the armed services on April 30. It
was estimated then that the armed
services would require $4,000 ad-
oltlonal men to meet their Jan. |.

CUTS QUOTAS
Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont,
recentl; revealed that the army had
decided to cut the July induction
quota almost in half. From other
sources here it was suggested that
inductions might be reduced to
around 100000 a month. No deci-
sion, however, has been made.
The chief United Nations man
power pools are China and the So
Wet Union. The United States orig
inally undertook to raise an armed
force of approximately 100000
men. 1t appears that figure now is
in process of reeXamination largely
because of the necessity of MAIN
tanning United States production.
But it also appears that potential
French and other manpower in
North Africa did not figure in orig
inal calculations.
Members of the house military
affairs committee went home for
the congressional recess convinced
that the need for drafting fathers
would not arise before their return
on Sept. IA, if at all.
Chairman Andrew j. May, D.,
KY, hopes that the committee will
have specific information on the
future status of draft-age indica-
ton of the prospective date when
the army expects to begin drafting
fathers. But letters written to War
