magnificent phrases, accompanied too often by bad examples, as they are thrust into a world filled with quacks and charlatans. Youth can not live on wisecracks, no* be crooned into contentment. And. from one portion of the grownup populations, that's what they are offered for sustenance. No more can they survive upon the preachings with which the other half deluge them.

HIAWATHA FR£E FROM ARREST FOR 30 DAYS NOW —HE'S IN JAIL

Hiawatha Johnson, Negro, was in court yesterday for the umpteenth time, but his attorney insisted to Municipal Judge Dewey Myers that Hiawatha had done no wrong. "He’s being heckled by police.” stormed the attorney. “He’s never been convicted, but he's always being arrested.” Well,” said the judge, “if I give him 30 days, he’ll be out of reach of the police—at least they won't be tempted to arrest him—and Hiawatha will be happy, eh?” Hiawatha was fined $1 and costs, sentenced to 30 days in jail. The charge was petit larceny. Memorial Service Set Major Harold C. Magrew auxiliary No. 3.

Obroskl and the three black prisoners were led to the great hut of Rungula, the chief. The savage tyrant sat on a low stool. Behind him were ranged the more important subchiefs; and on the flanks were grouped the remainder of the warriors—a thousand fighting men from many a farflung village.

Rungula arose and walked toward the whits prisoner, scowling and speaking rapidly. Kwamudi interpreted “He say you be killed —all people In safari be killed.” So, thought Obroski, the fierce tribesmen planned to continue their attacks until all the members of the expedition were wiped out.

The chief came closer, felt the captive’s shirt and breeches, and began to j3bber. “He want your clothes, all your clothes,” said Kwamudi. Obroski knew that protest was vain. He stripped to the skin. When he pleaded for something to wear, Rungula ordered a pickaninny to bring him a loincloth.

The prisoners were returned to their hut. A week passed—a succession of scorching tropical days and slow hideous nights, filled with heartbreaking suspense. Then, one night, warriors came and took one of the black prisoners away. The others knew that at last the torture and slaughter had begun!
