Hoosier Vagabond

IN THE CASCADES, Wash, Sept. 22. —Even you people who have never got any nearer to nature than planting a geranium in a window-box have read about those hearty woodsmen who make their beds out of spruce boughs, and sleep thereon like babes. This little piece of nature-lore I've always taken with a box of salt, large size. But Nature, in her insidious way, gets arcund to discrediting small fry like me. The old story that spruce boughs make a wonderful bed is true. I've just slept on one. We camped early, in a bowlshaped valley, just down the ridge from Faddy-Go-Easy pass. The movies themselves couldn't have rigged up & more dramatic spot. We were well over a mile high. The mountain peaks rose up around us. Our clearing was lovely with green pasture, and a brook ran through it. We were up at the edge of timberline, up above the claustrophobic density of the deep forest, and there were just enough trees around for decoration. You could see far. Supper was over long before aark, and while there was still light we prepared our beds.

Here's How It's Done

The average newspaper reader has never slept outcoors, right on the ground, 1 venture to say. To tell the truth, neither had 1. So here's how you go about it: First you pick a level spot. With the toe of your shoe you kick off the litile humps, then you pull up protruding roots and get the spot as smooth &s possible. Then you take vour ax. or your hatchet. You walk up to a spruce tree, take the tip of a bough in one hand, and with your ax in the other hand vou cut the bough off. about a foot and a half from the tip. You slice away from you, instead of toward you.

[t Seems to Me

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.--Jim and Charlie, who were neighbors, used to fight constantly, so finally they made a pact that neither one would kick the other around. One day, when walking, a third party tackled Jim and threw him in the gutter, No sooner had he fallen than Charlie began to give him the boot. “Hey!” yelled the ‘hapless fellow. “I thought you promised not to kick me.” “Don't be a fool,” Charlie replied; “naturally the promise doesn't go when you're down. And, speaking of the Russian expedition which is intent upon liberating the Poles with the co-operation of the Nazi forces, certain ironic things developed at the line where the Left and Right came together for purpose of jubilation and fraternization. In a dispatch from Berlin I read: “The two commands were concerned with fixing a line in Poland bevond which the German and Russian armies would not go. Tt was said officially that there was a possibility the Poles might be” allowed to hold & small strip of territory as a buffer between Germany and Russia, but ‘this depends a great deal on the attitude the Poles assume.’” In other words, IT presume the Polish p2asant is supposed to come out of the ashes of his dwelling on hands and knees ‘and apologize for the fact that his humble home happened ‘to get mh the way of the ad-, vancing twin columns of culture.

But, Who Could Live There?

By Ernie Pyle

This 1s s0 you won't cut vour arm off if the hatchet glances. Even the hardiest woodsmen, I am told, has difficulty sleeping in the open if he has just cut his arm off. You keep on cutting until you've got about 100 boughs. The marvelous thing about spruce boughs is that the twigs, or whatever you call them, don't grow ont from the limb in all directions, like & maple Jimb. They just grow straight out from each side, like a fern. When vou cut one and lay it on the ground, it lies there flat. That's the secret. 1 had always thought, you see, that when you made a bed of boughs you simply threw an armload of brush on the ground, like a haystack, and then leaped on and nestled down among the briars and limbs and stumps to the best of your ability. But that isn't it at all. You weave your bed. You lay it with precision, you mould it, you fabricate it, you interlap it. Every bough-bed is a custom-built job, and when you finish you've practically got a 14th Century tapestry.

Ah, What Comfort!

But let's get at it, You start at the head of the bed, and Jay & row of boughs crosswise, with the stubs pointing toward the foot of the bed. Now you scoot back a foot, and lay another row | crosswise. You put them partly on top of the other row, like laying a row of shingles. Thus you keep cov- | ering up the main stems of the boughs, which would be the hard part to lie on. When you get through. you have a bed three or four layers deep and several inches thick. It is smooth | and flat on top. When you press on it with your hand, | it squashes up and down like a mattress. Of course, the deeper you get it, the nicer the hed. 1 honestly believe that if vou built a bough-bed a foot thick it would be as soft as any hotel mattress. But vou usually compromise with a semi-fluffy bed because you get tired cutting boughs. | People such as trappers just wrap up in a blanket, and sleep right on this ked of boughs, However, we had sleeping bags, so we unrolled them on top of our beds of boughs. It was as comfortable as a cradle,

completed its preliminary study of the various local budgets for 1940 and adjourned until Monday when formal budget cuts and setting of tax rates will start.

Washington

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.—So far as the debate has gone, it seems to me that President Roosevelt has the better of it on the direct question of repealing the arms embargo. The embargo seeks to maintain a meaningless distinction by forbidding shipment of arms but permitting shipment of commodities. Why, to use an example cited by Mr. Roosevelt, should the shipment of brass tubing in pipe form be permitted while the shipment of brass tubing in shell form is prohibited? Why ship unprocessed goods but not goods which have been manufactured ito their final stages as munitions?

Until the pro-embargo advocates are ready to advocate shutting down on shipments of wheat, meat, cotton and copper, which they do not seriously propose, then thev are trying to maintain & fictitious distinction which does not exist in reality. = = »

‘International Law’ Misleading

The embarge as it stands helps Hitler and puts a shackle on Great Britain and France. It would have been better had the Senate permitted this repeal to take place last summer when Mr, Roosevelt urged it. But a vote was blocked in face of his warning that it would be more difficult to make the change after war began without being accused of unneutrality, Yet Germany knows this country is not in her corner and she probably is as resentful toward this Government for advocating the repeal as she Will be if the repeal is effected. As for the “return to international law” which the

statesman or nation could conceivably refuse his “timid proffer of a poisoned ring.”

By Raymond Clapper

President urges, that warrants close study. The term is misleading and we are in danger of being hypnotized by a catch phrase. Returning to international law ‘means returning to international anarchy. International law isn't something enacted and put into a statute book like | domestic law and enforced by a court. The word law is misleading. So-called international law is a phrase to cover the accumulation of international usages and interpretations of them by scholars. These amount in the last analysis to whatever nations have | been able to get away with. In war-time “international law” means nothing. Each nation conducts itself as it thinks is necessary | to win.

AAA AR AR pl

CARBONDALE, TI, Thursday —Let me tell you first, today, about the end of my day in St. Paul, Minn, It was thrilling, chiefly because I saw & united group of women in action. Ten thousand five hundred women filled the auditorium in the afternoon to look at a supper style show put on by Mrs. June Hamilton Rhodes of New York City. Women are traditionally interested in styles. But this had an object. The women of St. Paul were showing what their own shops could produce and help to stimulate shopping at home and the development of St. Paul industry. Another side contemplates bringing a variety of artistic and educational events to St. Paul. But on the first evening they centered their program around the third objective for which they are working—namely, an organization of women Which will cover every block in the city and develop a program of city improvement. Twelve thousand persons attended this evening session and vou could not help but be inspired bv the idea that these women were banded together in such numbers to influence the development of their city. The test, of course, is how well the effort is sustained and carried through. If it can live with

out political differences or personal jealousies creeping in, we may see a movement which should spread throughout the United States and accomplish wonderful things for all communities, rural as well as urban. The eyes of the women of this country should be foscused on St. Paul for the next few months. Now for a word about the fashion show, for I am fairly sure that this is my one and only style show forsthe year. The greens which were shown in many day and sports clothes are very soft and becoming in shade and are frequently combined with brown.

In one case, however, a light blue sweater made a pretty combination for sports wear, Almost every color and every combination, whether for day or for evening wear, has somewhere a touch of red. Your gloves can be red. or you may have a red feather in your hat or red piping on your suit. No color seems to be quite complete without that touch and I heard the women behind me say that the red accessories would be sold out in every St. Paul shop by the next day. Those of us who have old-fashioned gold or silver jewelry which belonged to our grandmothers can bring it out and have it cleaned and put in order. Tt is all the fashion this yéar—because you can't be too much decorated. Now we are on a train bound for Carbondale, Til.

Repairs Cause Shutdown

The reason is that the power plant must be shut down for repairs to the furnaces, and that power plant generates all the electricity and steam for lighting, power and cooking purposes. If the nights get chilly, nurses will lower windows in wards and rooms to conserve the warmth. If a major emergency arises that City Hospital can't cope with under these handicaps, St. Vincent's and Methodist Hospitals have agreed to help. Only 110 volts of power and a limited amount of that, will be avails able in the hospital as a standby service from the City, and that will be ‘enough to run only one elevator.
