Poetic Similarity of .. River and Human Life Without sermonizing too grossly, we may say that a river is like a human life, Prof. William Lyon Phelps writes, in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, The source is often obscure and humble, then a tiny stream, then growing bigger and more important (the widening of Influence), then flowing tranquilly (prosperous, happy days), now getting into sand flats, hardly moving (serious illness), now roaring tempestuously In rapids (times of excitement and adventure), yet golng on, somehow and somewhere.

i Furthermore, they always arrive ul‘timately at the same destinatlon—the jmysterious, open sea, leaving narrow ;elrcumstances for a deeper and greatjer existerce, ? And even those streams that seem .to perish without fulfilling their des(tiny, are in thelr subsequent influence ilike the lives of obscurely good men. l Travelers In a desert sometimes ‘come to a bit of green meadow, {where a river once has been. ‘Camel Teams Utilized » ', _ in Parts of Australia | Many camels are used in Australia 'as beasts of burden. For ~instance, ifrom Wyndham, in northwestern Aus‘tralia, the cattle stations are served :by camel trains which carry supplies ‘tOr hundreds of miles into the interior.

;‘ “The camels are driven by Afghans,” !says the National Geographlc society. “Camel teams are familiar sights in 'the street of the Mttle township, haul‘ing in the great wagonloads of fire!wo_od from the outlying district.

'~ “The first camels were brought to 7Australia for the use of the early explorers. Later a flne type of drom‘edary was imported for breeding purjposes and it 's this type of animal «that is bred in central Australia. It lis considered by leading authorities ‘to be the largest and strongest dromledary found in the world. It proves Anvaluable for pack work in waterless -reglons.” :

j Writers Who Worked Fast i There are many instances of works [that come full-grown from their crea;tors’ brains. Robert Louis Stevenson ‘wrote “The Strange Case of Dr. 'Jekyl and Mr. Hyde” on waking from a troubled sleep, while desperately ill; and he wrote the whole amazing work at literally fever heat, then rewrote it from start to finish, and all within six days. Longfellow’s “Psalm of Life” was built up from mnotes he Jotted down on a bit of blank paper, or card, in his pocket; but of “The Wreck of the Hesperus,” he said: “I feel pleased with the ballad. It hardly cost me -an effort. It did not come to my mind by lines, but by stanzas.” 3

Smart Six-Year-Old

When almost six years of age Benjamin Blythe, who afterward became a noted Scottish engineer, was walking with his father when the child asked “Papa, at what hour was I born?” He was told 4a. m., and he then asked “What o’clock is it now?” He was told 7:50 a. m. The boy walked on a few hundred yards, then turned to his father and stated the number of seconds he had lived—which’ upon calculation turned out correct, even allowing for two leap years.— Grit. : B i ¢ Served His Purpose An artist, painting in the open afr, was startled to see a red-faced, perspiring motorist at his side. “Don’t put another stroke to it!” urged the newcomer. “I'll give you flve pounds for it as it stands.” ~ “It—it is very kind of you,” the artist stammered, “but it’s not quite finished.” “Doesn’t matter one jot,” said the motorist, as he got his money out, “I only want the canvas to mend a burst tire.”—Weekly Scotsman. The Word “Anecdote” Today we know that the word “anecdote” simply refers to a pithy account of any incident, usually a short entertalning narrative. Originally, however, an anecdote was a secret history, a sort of a subrosa story of unpublished events, this significance being indicated by its root source. It is In this sense that it is used, for instance, by Procopius in his portrayal of the private life of Justinian and Theodora.—Kansas City Star,

AMERICAN LEGION. i Indianaa Hospltai Awaits Deelsion in! Present Congress According to Report, “Indiana’s veterans hospital legislation is now before congress and a crisis is here,” according to Forest A. Harness, department commander of the American Legion. ; The Indiana hospital legislation is contained in bills introduced by Richard N. Elliot, of Connersville, representative in congress and the measure introduced by Mrs. Edith N. Rogers. The Elliot bill called for a 500 bed United Sates veterans hospital for Indiana in no way conflicts with the Rogers bill, John Thomas Taylor, legislative chairman of the Legion, wired Harness from Washington. - Harness urges immediate enrollment of every veteran in Indiana in the Le- | gion to give the organization strength to push the hospitalization through the present congress. ; : In 1929 more than 500 Hoosier veterans were hospitalized. Many cannot obtain hospitalization because of lack of facilities. The San Antonio, Tex., national convention of the Legion indorsed Indiana’s program for a 500 bed hospital and it was made part of the legislative program. The measure was cut down to 150 beds when introduced which is not considered adequate. Representative Elliot’s bill calls for 500 beds.

Conferences now in progress between the Legion, the Veterans Bureau and the committee of congress, will present the Indiana Legion hospital measure before congress in its entirety within the next day or so. Veterans and citizens are urged by Department Commander Harness to write their representatives in congress asking for immediate action on the Legion hospital program.
