Oh, school, please open doors to me,

One time in May, spent night

As well as hoed and raked!

I've freckled, peeled and burned
And when I tired of outdoor work,
I came inside and churned.

Uncle Ray S Corner

Simon Kenton and his friend,
Thomas Williams, were among the
pioneer white men to enter the blue
grass region OF Kentucky. They
went there in Its, and stayed to
hunt and trap near Blue Licks.
In the same year that Kenton and
Williams pitched their camp, Daniel
Boone led party Of white people to
the Kentucky River. The village
which the party started was given
the name Of Boonesboro.
Before winter started, man
named Hendricks joined them. One
day he stayed at camp while Kenton
and Williams were away on q short
trip. He was gone when they re-
turned. Later, they learned that he
had been captured by Indians and
had been burned at the stake.
This was the second time Kenton
had lost q comrade through an In
dian raid. He had learned to keep
his temper In his dealings with white
men, but toward Indians he now
felt fierce enmity.
While at Boonesboro Kenton took
part in q skirmish with about IS
Shawnee warriors . short distance
outside the stockade. It opened with
q white man being killed by IN In
dian. When Kenton saw the dead
man being scalped. he raised his
gun and shot the Indian who was
doing it.
A few moments later Boone and
several others were wounded. Boone,s
leg was broken and he could not
move. Awarrior raised his tomahawk
to strike Boone but, before he could
lower his arm, Kenton shot him.
Picking up the wounded leader,
Kenton carried him behind the
stockade. Boone said, Simon, you
have behaved Ike man today!"
From time to time. Kenton raided

Indian camps to get horses. The
horses, in most cases at least, had
been stolen from the whites, and
he felt that it was quite right to
"steal them back"
On one such errand he came to
grief. With two friends, he was
herding group of horses away from
an Indian camp, trying to get them
from the northern to the southern
bank of the Ohio River. Before that
was done, a band of Indians ar
rived. One Of the white men was
shot, and another escaped by riding
q log which drifted across the river.
Kenton was captured.
The Indians ordered the back
woodsman to run the gauntlet"
Hundreds of men, women and chill
dren stood in line to strike him
with switches and clubs.
Hardly had he gone three steps
before he broke through the line
and circled around. The Indians
pursued him, but he reached the
council house ahead of them and
was allowed to stay there with no
further harm that day.
Making ready to end the life Of
the captive, the Indians set up a
stake and tied the white man to
1t. Before the sentence could be
carried out. however, q British OH
Ger came into camp. Giving costly
presents to the Indians, he asked
them to elend" him the white man
50 he could take him to British
headquarters at Detroit. The IN
dianS agreed.
It was the year 1T77, and the
British were ct war with the Amer
leans, but they saved Kenton.
Many other adventures were met
with by Kenton in the later years
Of his Life. He lived to the ripe
age OF 81, and ranks among the Inn
portant pioneers Of Kentucky.

} So far, I hadn't found any old
trunks, so was quite interested as
to its contents. I started to open
1t, and to my disappointment, it
was locked. BY this time, I was
burning with curiosity, so I broke
the lock.
To my surprise, 1t was laden with
old things from different coun-
tries. There were velvet drapes
from France, an old clock from
Germany, two vases from Aus
tria, q beautiful canvas portrait
and several paintings. The trunk
itself came from Germany about a
century ago.
From then on I have collected
things from different countries.
Among them are pair of mini
ature wooden shoes from France, a
beaded purse from Czechoslovakia,
a straw hat from China and also
some Chinese money, a doll from
Iceland, and small chest from q
Canadian forest.
I have found my hobby quite in
teresting, and after the war hope
to travel more and increase my
treasures.

and their relation to the war.
think that most of Washington S
students old enough to work got jobs
for the summer, and many are still
working on Saturdays or after
hours.
We hear lot about imitation, un-
necessary buying boosting prices,
and buying more and more War
Bonds. I know a lot OF young work
ers, not excluding myself, who were
inclined to take the attitude Of
Well, I'm helping the war effort by
this very job. Why spend a lot OF
money on bonds? The country is
doing OK. without my few dollars.
Well, sure, the country is doing
OK, but think how much better
things might be If We hadn't bought
that $5.95 sweater to match the new
skirt. Girls are the guilty ones here.
Put a girl in a department store
with the new fall clothes In and q
brand-new pay check and just see
what happens. Go ahead, admit it.
Nearly every one of us did it.
A lot of lis think that being young
and innocent is good excuse for
weakening and spending our money
the way we want to. But we have to
grow up some time and as long as
we do understand why 1t is harmful
to buy luxuries, you've got to admit
that the excuse is a pretty weak one.
After all, Americas future grown
generation and what it does is just
about as important as what the
present ones are doing.
Well, guess that is just about
the extent Of what was going to

are we going to do anything

By Florence s. Bergman.

BY Florence y. bergman.
Alphonse Legros, great painter
etcher of the 10Th century, had
something to say about life and
death and the beauty of nature: he
transmitted his message through
his art, with simplicity, directness
and restraint. An exhibition of this
admirable work will open this after
noon at the National Gallery of Art.
It comprises a carefully selected
group of AZ etchings and drawings
lent by George Matthew Adams of
New York City, who has the most
important collection of Legros' work
privately owned. Furthermore, Mr..
Adams collection of 500 examples
ranks second only to that of the
Boston Public Library, which was
assembled by the late Frank Bliss
and contains 1,500 items.
Legros, born at Dion, France, in
1887, began to study art as a trade
in his early teens and was ap-
prenticed to or worked for several
house decorators and scene painters
In his mid-teens he went to Paris
and attended the drawing school Of
Lecoq de Boisbaudran, who taught
him to draw from memory. In 1856
Legros went to evening classes OF
the Ecole des Beaux Arts and drew
from the antique; there he devel-
oped deep admiration for the early
Greeks, particularly Phidias.p
A portrait he did of his father, ex-
hibited in the Paris Salon of 1857
attracted the attention of Champ
f1eury, who invited him to join the
little group of "realists" headed by
Courbet. Although appreciated by
his friends, Legros did not make
much progress toward success. In
1868, advised and assisted by Whis-
tier, he went to England and made
his living by his etching and teach
ing, first at the South Kensington
School of Art, later as Slade pro-
fessor at the University College,
London. He lived in England the
rest OF his life, nearly half a CEN
tury, and became naturalized as a
British subject.
But although he never returned to
France to live, he cherished the
memory of his native country and
made many imaginative landscapes.
More than one-third of the current
exhibition Is composed of such Vi
sions Of France. They are not scenes
of specific places but embody the
memories of his youth In Burgundy
when he was intimately acquainted
with the peasants and farms and
landscapes around Dijon., They are
not dramatic scenes. They are
serene, quiet and tender evocations
of placid streams between tree
lined banks, with a solitary fisher
man browsing over his pole, or of a
lush meadow where tired peasant
woman rests beside her rake, or a
stretch of countryside in which a
ruined church or an old farm build
ing seems as much part of nature
as the trees which grow beside it.
Some of these landscapes have a
melancholy atmosphere from low
ering skies, others are Illuminated
with the brilliant sunlight We re-
member from our childhood, but
never actually see in later years.
The scenes themselves are quite
commonplace, but Legros gave them
a magic quality.

Sees War Plant Job
AS American Way'
By Ralph 0. Moore, rs,

I worked for five months in
war plant, trying to help bring vic
tory little closer. 1t was an expe-
rience shall never forget.
There were big machines, little
machines, fat machines and thin
machines. You could hear the
never-ending song of the riveter,
and many other weird sounds
which made you imagine you were
having nightmare.
Many of the men I worked with
have sons In the Army, Navy and
marines - some who will never
come home again. But they go on
working; they do not quit because
their sons have died. They go on
working so the boy down the street,
or around the corner, or even in
the next block, can come home
sooner.
There are men who were once re-
tired but have come back to work,
to do their little bit. There are
men who are blind; some are Grip
piled, some have an arm or leg
missing. But they go on working
together in the American way.
