Harry himself has always been about a 105 average bowler, but .this year, he is down to 158 at the present time, but the way he has been improving the last JLew weeks, he should climb up to 1G5 where he belongs.

TRUE STORY' The recent visit of Governor John Moses of North Dakota — lie's not Jewish, by the way—to the White House recalled to the President a curious coincidence that took place a quarter of a century ago, when he was Assistant Secretary of the Navy . . .

It seems that he had chosen the name Israel, after an American Captain, for one of the Navy's new destroyers . . . While Roosevelt was going over the personnel list for the destroyer an aide came into his office with another personnel list for another destroyer, named Moses . . . The coincidence struck Roosevelt as so funny that ho burst out laughing, wherejupon the a i d e inquired whether t h e r e was anything wrong with the crew lists . . .

And the question made the future president laugh some more— for the lists of officers for the t w o boats were headed by the names Murphy and O'Reilly . . .

Night club warbler Hildegarde has an accompanist who used to teach at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and who supervised the installation of Kngland's first sound film equipment . . . Ills name is Leo Hahn . . . From Iterlin conies the story of the American who, seeing a huge crowd collected around a little, man who was carrying a Winter Relief F u n d collection box, innuired as toy\vhy the crowd should be milling around the collector . . . "They're all Gestapo secret service men," explained his informant. . . "But why nil those Gcstapoliccmcn around one collector?" aslced the'American . . .

"Because," was the reply, "t h v collector Is Dr. Goebbels" . . .

A SHORT STORY

ain

By Howard* Sherman ,Ed. Note. The following story wms written by Howard Shernun, a Junior at Central High School.

The son of Mr. Morris Sherman of Chicago, Howard attended Western Military Academy at Alton before making his home here. He is a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Sherman of Omaha.

I walked the streets of Paris those cold, dreary morning hours.

I wanted to think, and t wanted to catch one last glimpse- of the Paris that would be no more, for I knew, though I hoped for some miracle to prevent it, that Paris would fall that day.

As I began that walk my mind was clogged with worry and •* thought. I remember how, mechanically, I took out my pipe, lit . it, and took a few puffs of the fragrant aroma. I always smoke ft pipe when I want to meditate, and there were several problems I wanted to clear up in my mind. t wanted to think clearly of the world situation that had developed so rapidly.

- I was the head of an American . news bureau, right in the thick of fast moving European development. That's how I knew Paris would fall. i I walked on, a block or two, greeted weary and sad French poilus—for they too knew Paris would fall, though they would give their lives to prevent it— and as I walked, and puffed, and drew the folds of my overcoat about me to keep out the chill •air, my mind wandered back to the first world war, back to the , United States, to tho year 1917.

- Woodrow Wilson was a tired Old man as he walked out of tho Capitol, for he had just made the •most momentous decision of his .life, one that had given him days of agonizing meditation. He believed his decision to be right. So •* -on that day, April 4, 1917, he had appeared before Congress and did what he dreaded but was helpless lo prevent. He asked the Congress of the United States to declare war on Germany and her allies.

Two days later Congress ful'filled his request.

With that eventful declaration of war a wave of silence spread over our broad country. People 4 stopped work everywhere and con"eidered what this war would mean " to them. Mothers thought' of the ' sons they would have to sacrifice.

Wives though of young husbands -that would soon be gone. Almost -everyone thought of some dear 1 friend or relative that would soon . depart. ,- : ......

- But to the .young men of that . day it meant something more sig. nificant. All Chose hours of dieam.ing and planning-—for what?

•Their future was mapped before , them now, regardless - of-what . they thought or.what they wanted. They .would live,the' nextyear ':—how much longer on one could .' foretell-^in trenches, fighting. But with a sense of pride and : m tf'r t y r d o m they patriotically \ threw aside thoughts of self. Each one, thought, in a different way, ; but each with the same idea, "I'm . going to make the world safe for " democracy; I'm going to fight one " last war to end wars.'" These boys ' actually worked themselves into a , , feverish pitch in which they • thought they", really wanted war. ' They thought .it would be over . * soon, with no drudgery, no trag.' edy, no pain,-They would all return, mighty conquerors, to ex'•'*-jpand uniformed chests loaded - Vrith medals before the hometown girls and modestly admit, "Oh It

was nothing." Could they be blamed? They knew not of war— it was something far and distant.

Excitement In the Email towns throughout the country the scene was much the same. Young men had gathered in groups and were excitedly discussing the future. The town of Maryville, Connecticut was no different. There, an excited group of y o u n g men had gathered around a tall lad, who aeenied to be their leader, and talked in excited tones.

A few moments passed. The tall lad suddenly siffened, threw out his chest, and excitedly exclaimed, "I'm enlisting now! Who's with me?" With that he turned, brushed his fellows aside, and headed resolutely up the steps of the City Hall, followed by two or three chums, who acted as if they were martyrs, sacrificing for a great cause.

A few moments later they were soldiers in the United States army.

So Wayne Carver and his small group of followers, like thousands of other eager Americans, volunteered immediately.

Wayne' Carver went forth with thoughts of heroic idealism. He left the law school he had worked so hard to attend. He left a sweetheart. He turned his back on the' easy happy existence of a young college man.

"I'll show those German!" he said. So he went to fight.

Thrilling Crusade As Wayne laughingly—for to him it was a mere joke, an adventure, a thrilling crusade for a noble cause—said good-bye he did not know what was to come. He was young.

But when Wayne arrived in France he learned that war was not.the glowing panorama painted by smooth talking propagandists.

He saw roads clogged with refugees who were hurrying from shell-plowed districts. He listened in awe as soldiers on leave recounted tales of the trenches. He saw everywhere sadness, and devastation, and want. War was no good. This Wayne learned as he travelled to the front.

Wayne went up to the front lines—on a Monday it wa's. There were a few light skrimishes that day, no serious engagements. Yet by that .evening . Wayne had a taste of actual combat. He had never witnessed such brutal murder, he had never harmed a living creature in his life, yet on that day he was forced to bayonet a fellow man, or else receive tho point of the bayonet himself. He tried to sleep that night, but the picture of that horrible experience of the afternoon would not leave his mind. It was some time before Wayne was able to rest peacefully.:/:• • • • ; • First Leave It was not long before Wayne had*'his first leave. He went out and; celebrated —-' wine, women, and song. He tried to drink away the. terrible pictures that never

left his mind. How could he go back to those gluey mudholes, the barbed wire, the whole god-forsaken dreariness of shell plowed fields, the nerve wracking bark of machine guns, perhaps the grave . . .?

Wayne did return to the front lines, though. He wouldn't run out on anything. He wasn't that kind. As he journeyed over the rough muddy r o a d s , Wayne's mind wandered. He thought of home and the comfort and safety it-offered. He wondered what had happened to the world. He wondered if he would ever see happy peaceful days again. Wayne walked through town after town, viewing pitying scenes of devastation.

His mind had now become hardened to such sights. He barely noticed them, Wayne walked on. It was raining now. The sky was bleak and dismal, the roads muddy and crooked. In the distance the big guns rumbled. The*sky was red with fire and clouded with smoke.

People were hurrying sadly, past Wayne, headed away from those deafening roars. The drone-of airplanes could be heard overhead.

An ambulance .passed. A'company^ of soldiers tramping steadily, 1, 2,' 3, 4 . . . 1, 2, 3, 4 . . . followed not far behind. Trucks loaded with guns and men rambled past.

It was raining harder now. The big guns were more deafening.

The earth around him seemed to vibrate with the shock.

No Man's Land Wayne was 'alone now on this dismal, muddy road, lined with dead trees here and there. He could see no signs of life. He could only h e a r the whine of shells out t h e r e in No Man's Land. \ A touch of red tinted the sky to the west, breaking through tho thick clouds. It was sundown.

Wayne wag not very near hia company's encampment. He could hear more clearly now the rumble of the big guns, tho rat4at-tat of the machine guns, and now even tho cries of the wounded. Suddenly Wayne did a strange thing. He knelt in that mud, and looked toward heaven, and prayed. A few moments later he arose. Ho silently walked on . . .

Weeks passed. Wayne obeyed his orders faithfully and was a good soldier. H o was promoted and given the command of a squad. In his new position of responsibility he was fearless, and he was exacting of the men under him. He seemed to relish the tougher tasks. He was in \ this war for good now, and he made up his mind to do his best. Wayne always thought like that. He had character.
