After writing up men of moment these past weeks most unusual duo has been popping into mind, and the urge to put them down on paper is an insistent one. 1t would be difficult off hand to think of two men more diverse than Art Sliney and Jack Riley, yet they are inseparable. By a mysterious act of alchemy often produced in the: Army, these two so different in tastes, experiences and aims have: fused great friendship and, in a manner complementary, have by this association added to each others stature. . :-:. "
 No doubt you have observed these peripatetic gentlemen stroll ing about immersed in thought, gesticulating violently, and won dered just what was up. Was the subject under debate the blonde second from the end in the front row, or the appalling lack of where withal for an evening of wassail ? None of these, not for moment.
 The gentlemen, no less, were dis cussing philosophy, being, in the basic sense of the word, devotees of wisdom. Not knowledge but wis dom is for them the raison d'etre of the human intellect. And so they spend their leisure hours debating with others and among themselves, delving into forgotten tonnes of lore, cultivating the ancients, scan- ming the moderns, examinating data and phenomena with the in- scrutable objectivity that is the prerogative of the thinker and sage.
 Carl Carson, being a gent rash with the sense of his own erudition, became entangled with this pro- found duo, enmeshed, and finally pulverized. With the exquisite de- tachment of the skilled surgeon each isolated, dissected and ap- praised Carson's puny contribution to the discussion and then went on dispassionately and >serenely to further define, examine and make judgments. Let the burnt child, therefore, warn you not to get burned. Do not get into the tolls of these apparently careless mon clad in fatigues. It is true (by some secret VOW of which I wot not) that they eschew the ethereal and es- thetic joys of the drawing-room, and dance not till the wee hours with evanescent daughters of Eve But theirs is a fiercer joy, more flaming passion, for they pursue the very Muse herself! No lesser lights for this dauntless duo: they have thrown down the gauntlet to the cosmos, and let Atlas proceed at his peril.
 Dialectics, apologetics, ontology, are but meat and drink to such men of psyche, While they toll they spin gossamer hairs of distinctions and assiduously follow thin threads of thought through mazes of ab- stractions.
 Carson has been trying to pro-
