Robert n. Smith, Aug. s, 1857

Just one year ago he passed away
To lasting peaceful rest
In sweet repose he lies today
His head on Jesus breast.
He is not dead, he's just asleep
In that glorious Heavenly Home
Waiting for loved ones there to

Waiting with God beside His
throne.

(The Old Man And The Sea by
Ernest Hemingway, novel publish
ed by Charles Scribner's Sons, New
York City, 1S9 pageS.)
Author Hemingway has made to-
morrow's American literature clas-
ses again.
His new story is a short and
beautiful piece of prose fiction.
The tale is told with Biblical
simplicity. Only the necessary
words are used, yet the reader is
closer to the boat in the middle of
the sea and the under-dark where
the great Marlin moves with the
hook in his mouth, than he has
been to most fictionized seas or
fish.
In his selection of characters,
there is also complete simplicity.
An old fisherman and a boy are
the only important human beings.
The sea, the big fish, and the vii
lain sharks are the other princi-
pal figures.
And the minor characters in the
foreground and the background Of
he canvas are also penetratingly
real. The dolphin, the flying fish,

Milking Is Official

DU QUOIN, I'll. R-For official
business the city health officer took
on some unusual chores recently.
In line of duty, Thomas Hunter
took into custody a cow found graz
ing in the city park. The officer
said he was quite capable of the
twice day milking chore but he
hoped the owner would claim Bossy
before too many days passed.
Lake Michigan is the only one
of the Great Lakes wholly within
the boundaries Of the United
States.

cause the old man didn't have anyl
luck are vivid and clearly drawn.
Here is Hemingway'S description
of a small bird who came to theI
boat in the middle of the ocean:
-. small bird came toward
the Skiff from the north. He was
warbler and flying very low overl
the water. The old man could sec
that he was tired.
"The bird made the stern of the |
boat and rested there. Then he flew
around the old mans head and
rested on the line where he was
more comfortable.
How old are your the old man
asked the bird. is this your first
trip?'
"The bird looked at him when
he spoke. He was too tired even to |
examine the line and he teetered
on it as his delicate feet gripped it |
fast. >"
1t is technically interesting to see
Mr.. Hemingway'S invariable selec.
ton of the short Anglo-Saxon word
whenever there is one to use, in |
preference to a Latin-based one. |
And the power which the prose
gains as a result is one hundred
horsepower.
In nine words Mr.. Hemingway
expresses all the tragedy of the
old mans grief because the young
boy he has taught to fish is not
with him in the hour of his great
est battle with the sea and the
fish.
g.. aloud he said 4 wish I
had the boy -
Another very successful bit of
craftsmanship is the authors tell
ing of the old mans story when
he is alone in the sea. Mr.. Hem
ingway uses the simple and natural
device of having the old man talk
to himself, to the fish and the
enemy sharks. And in the hands
of a master it seems the only
way to tell it.
Literary dissectors in tomorrow's
classrooms will also be able to find
in the story symbols of all mans
battle and triumph, and the seed
of his failure in that he sometimes
goes too far into the sea.
(SQUIRREL HOTEL written and
illustrated by william Pene du
Bois, fiction for children S to 10,
published by Viking Press, New
York City, 48 pages).
A hotel for squirrels is some
where in the city park. The old
man in the story says he built one
with rockers on the porches, mus
lin curtains on the French win
dows, and four poster beds in the
rooms.
The attic is stacked with nuts,
there are hammockS in the trees
around, and a swirling slide down
which the squirrels can whizz to
the ground. Three small American
flags fly from the top, there IS a
ferris wheel arrangement simulat-
| ing a cage which the squirrels use
for exercise, and one room has a
big drinking fountain with real
running water.
At least that is what the old man
said!
He was a strange fellow the au-
thor found on bench in the city
park operating an orchestra of
bees in little cardboard stage. He
uses roses and kerosene to make |
the insects perform, and they play
everything from the overture tol
Faust to the Skaters Waltz. And
sometimes the bees give con-
cert at night to the light of fire
flies.
The author is not sure about the
squirrel hotel, but he has seen
the orchestra of bees!

persons who will offer every guar
antee Of moral and scientific in

Mr.. Ruegger said that known

the committee in Switzerland and
that national Red Cross societies
of Aslatic countries not involved
in the war would be asked to pro-
pose two or three other scientific
experts.
1.-THE above mentioned commits

10 Per Cent Granted.
Until today the 10 per cent in
crease was the only one granted
the industry, although workers in
other fields were permitted an ad-
ditional cost-of Living increase.
This has amounted in the other
industries to a raise OF At per
cent in the hourly pay.
The board said that a At per
cent increase in the construction
industry would amount to IL cents
an hour. The additional 3-cents-
per-hour increase, the board said,
is justified by the fact that work.
ers in other industries have been
allowed certain fringe wage bene-
fits which are difficult to calculate
in the construction field.
Board officials explained that
the new policy was made effective
for nearly a year because bar
gaining contracts in the construc-
tion industry usually are adopted
for at least that long.
