This being the gilly season when
it's too hot for even a congressman
to run for reelection. so back a
few weeks to one of these lighter
pieces knocked off by your pixie
correspondent in whimsical mo-
ment. This piece concerned the lack
of inspiration or romance or Chal-
lenge to adventure in LCIL-fCr
Landing Craft. Infantry, Large
and the similar LVT. LST. Ism
LCVP, LCR designations which the
navy persists in hanging on its in
yasion craft.
AS proof of the unglamorournesS
of these names, the point was
hopefully made that you couldn't
write a song or wiring a poem out
of such names, and as an example
the challenge was flung at any
tuncsmith tC forge a melody for a
couplet such as:
My sailor boy amt got much rank,
But he commands a Landing Ship
Tank.
ION II IsliONll tllbN INT NAlcAlNilS-N l
has been accepted-but twice. Mr..
Robert Taylor, who writes from
Washington for the Pittsburgh
Press. spoke up to say that he had
a couplet to conclude the stanza,
but that somebody else would have
to fill in between. Taylor's contri-
button:
Huch now, baby, don't you cry,
Daddy's coming home on an Lei.
THE MUSE COR Is IT
BEMUSE?l SPEAKS
As a vulgar display of versatility
and to show how thee things can
be done--cr can they?-it only took
a few moments to drool off doggerel
to fill in the gap. like this:
LANDING CRAFT LULLABY
My sailor boy amt got much rank

But lie commands Landing Ship,
Tank.
He anchors a-weigh TO give en-
he'll,

its blubbCr,
He'll save his life in a Landing

So hush now. baby, don't you cry.
Daddy's coming home on an lei.
The ship is really not a barge,
It's what is known as a Landing
Craft. Infantry, Large.
All this should make Mr.. Taylor
sorry he ever spoke up, and it
should further convince the navy
these names arc hopeless. But it has
remained for a correspondent, Mrs.

Accidents of Children

The little kids 'a1ke up the big
accident group because. as the gent
said about his blind mule which
fell down a sewer, they Just don't
give a darn. They run out in the
street and don't look where they
are going cs,her up or down. They
are excited and they want to show
off and they think they can crowd
a large truck off the road with a
second hand bicycle or a pair of
roller skates, etc.
The older group who have the
accidents have retained a good deal
of that carefree psychology, but
they also have more brittle bones
than they used to have. And the
little bones break easier than
younger ones and at more incon-
venient places. An eminent Xray
specialist, DR.. f. II. Skinner, in an

out that older bones show many
