CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Jack, his face registering utter
surprise, stepped back to allow
Brenda to come out of the barn S
harness room.
All Adam could do was TO stare
and feel even sillier.
Aren't you two a little old to
be playing games?' said Brenda,
as she brushed a cobWeb out OF
her hair.
We're not playing games said
Jack.
"Cetainly not" Adam said. 1--WE
had reason fol- searching the
place. What the devil are YOU
doing out here?"
"Research work." said Brenda.
I'm working on one of the LII.

to get my information first-hand. .
She looked at Adam and then al

Jack grinned. We'll. don't think
you didn't scare us" he said.
Come on out to the car" Adam
said, and We'll tell all" Then,
when they were out in the sun
shine, he nodded toward the tracks.
See those?' he said.
Yes" said Brenda. My car
made them.
OH said Adam and Jack in
unison.
Il drove in to turn around
Brenda continued. and then lef.
the car over by those scrub pines .
Adam looked at Jack and said,

Yes" said Jack. But I saw
the car without the license, just

What are you two talking
about?' Brenda demanded.
And they told her. the three of
them sitting in Adams car.
Brenda listened w tn interest.

Il have had suspicion tina. I've
seen light out this way. A week
ago, when l drove out to the old
Leigh place. and came out b. the
johnson farm to see if the house
still was standing"
What sort of Light" said
Adam.
Il don't know exactly. 1t was
just a sort of flash-you know,
like someone passing a window
with a lantern or candle
'Tramps, probably said Adam.

replied. She was due at 10, but
after Jack told me what he'd seen

"Oh, 1 see," said Brenda.

way some of the league secretaries
sit down and painfully compile the
averages for three games when
they could do the job better and
with less pain by simply making
an extra carbon copy of the score
sheet when they are bowling.
Another thing that makes me
feel sorry for the editor is the way.
same people leave stuff for the
paper in various places around
Local II headquarters. Some throw
the envelopes at the newspaper of
flee door; some put their writeups
under the wrong door; some leave
it with the bartenders; others put
their scores on any table that's
handy, and all-in-all play a game
like we played when we were kids,
known as "hide the thimble".
Of course, it doesn't make any
difference to me because I'm just
a by-stander, but it would be a lot
easier if people would spend two
cents and mail their stuff in in
stead of having the editors dash
ing around every week looking for
scores, write-ups and what have

First Conservation in America

First Conservation in America
The first conservation effort in
America was short lived. William
Penn, in 1851 in an ordinance, re-
quired that, in the clearing of land
one acre in every five, should be
left in trees. At that time, prac-
tically all America was interested
in forest destruction. The ordi-
nance was soon forgotten.
In 1899 Samuel l.. Southland, sec
retary of the Navy, in plea to
President John Quincy Adams,
urged that the President set aside
reservations Of available stands of
live oak for ship building, as this
valuable resource was disappearing
rapidly. "Unless we take steps to
conserve this resource | refuse to
accept responsibility for the fu-
ture Of the Navy" Secretary
Southard said.
Laws were passed in 1899 and
in 1927 to conserve the live oak
timber for ship building. A tract
of 10000 acres was set aside for
the Navy on Santa Rosa island,
Florida.
In 1881 the incoming secretary
of the Navy terminated the reser-
vation.-(Charles Elliott, author
of Conservation of American Re-
sources")

often go bowling
Derive pleasure from the game,
Like so many thousand kegers
Who often do the same.
Sometimes | throw 'em wildly
And | watch the oil pins fall
Sometimes watch 'em sadly
Just the biggest dub of all.
Sometimes | hit the pocket
But leave the corner pin;
Course it means hit her full
Or perhaps little thin.
Sometimes I've thought | missed her,
Then my hook came sweepin' wide
And 10, I've hit honey
Right smack on the Brooklyn side.
It's like the game of life, boys,
Where everyone must roll the ball;
The pins are dreams we long for
And we hope to get them all
When the game of life is over
We will have winning tally,
II we aim at the head pin
And roll straight down the alley.

THE BITTER TRUTH

Citizens have yet to realize that infla-
ton is not an easy way to escape financial
difficulties. They have to realize that it is
a costly luxury; that it can permanently
destroy basic liberties.
According to figures released by the
Office of Emergency Management, the in
flationary rise in prices during the period
between September, 1889, and May, 1912,
surpassed the total cost of World War l. In
other words, Americans have in effect
squandered over $50, 900, 900 900 in a FOOLS
paradise of war prosperity because they

NO ONE NATION CAN DO 1T ALL

The proposal of Senator Gillette, OF
Iowa. that early treaty negotiations set the
United Nations war aims in more legal and
bidding form, is interesting.
Ii the Senator has in mind confer
cnce OF the United States, Great Britain
China and Russia to evolve solutions for all
the troubled conditions of the earth, such
a conference would be the utmost foolish
ness.
If he has in mind parley TO agree up
on the treatment to be accorded our enc
mtes when they have made their uncondi-
dional surrender, the proposal runs into
difficulties because Russia is not at war with
Japan.
1t strikes us that what the Senator, and
others, desire is a grand pOw-wow, design
ed'to compel all nations now fighting against
the Axis to accept our war aims in principle
and then settle the details. 1t cannot be
done and any attempt to do it will lead 20
bitter disturbances in the relationship that
NOW exists between the countries united by
a common bond, the necessity of defeating
the Axis.
Mr.. Gillette would expect we infer,
someone, to state our war aims and apply
them to all situations that come to mind. In
short, the Senator forgets that we are in a
coalition war and that no one nation will be
able to write all the terms of the peace
treaty.
In a world as wide as that on which
we live, there are many divergent opinions.
Ii is not proof of depravity that other ma
tons do not agree with the ideas of Mr.
Gillette, or even with those of the United
States as expressed by our government. The
reordering of the earth is too big job fol
one man or one nation. -
When the present war is, concluded
just recognition must be made of the con
tribution that has been made by other ma,
tions in the defeat of the Axis freebooters
Inc Russians the Chinese and even the
British will be entitled to a voice, along with

HANNIBAL'S ELEPHANTS

Many CT us are prone to think that, be-
cause Of heavy explosives, the tank, the SUD-
marine. the airplane, the soldier has less
chance to survive than he had in ancient
times
But an army cannot be annihilated bv
anv &C those modern weapons. Neither
bombs ror shells strike everywhere in field
Ct battle. I've been through hell, soldier
may declare after coming out of a battle
where bursting shells. and bombs seemed as
enveloping as lightning during heavy crash
of thunder. But, in an extensive field of bat
tie, only a comparatively few places are
struck by either shells or bombs.
Annihilation, or almost humiliation, oc-
ours only when opposing soldiers come to
grips. We have had few instances of such
fighting during this war. Thus, on the night
of last August 90 only 35 out of 700 JapS,
who attempted to overrun the United States
Marines positions on Guadalcanal, survived
that combat, which was fought chiefly at
the point of the bayonet.
The Russians, in this winters offensive,
almost wiped out columns of the enemy in
Stalingrad, and, few days ago at Rostov,
in bayonet fighting. But such Outcomes are
exceptions in this war, whereas they were
the rule when Hannibal, more than q e
centuries ago, made Rome bleed at every.
pore" 49,
At the Battle of Cannae, the Romans
had an army of $4,000, and when the fighc-
ing ended, $4,000 of them lay dead on the
field ard 10000 were captured. Only one
eighth Of the Roman forces succeeded in es-
Gaping in that darkest day of ancient
Rome.
great deal was written about Car
thage, whose legiGns Hannibal led for Is
years, when the Allies invaded North At
RIGA, because Carthage was situated near
where Tunis now stands Carthage finally
fell to Roman arms, but before that day
came, Rome trembled at Hannibal's might,
and what the Roman soldier feared more
than anything else in Hannibals army was
his cavalry of elephants.
1t may sound like joke to assert that
those elephants created more havoc among
Roman soldiers than tanks do among sol
diers in modern warfare. But such was the
case. In battle after battle, Roman ranks
were disrupted when the elephant charged;
in battle after battle, the tide was turned
in favor of the Carthaginians whose trained
elephants tore the enemy to pieces.
The elephant was harde-, to stop than
the tank is today There were 70 shells to
wound him or to kill him, and darts or az
rows in his hide, added only to his infuria-
ton and resultant deadliness.
Deadly weapons now must avoid or try
to avoid deadly fire to destroy them. The
tank runs into the tank gun; the bomber
into the fighter plane or anti-aircraft fire.
The elephant up to the time Hannibal
drank poison from a ring he wore, was SUI
preme on the field of battle because no
counter-force had been invented to destroy
him.
