know of no more delightful current
literature than the sketches written
from “Over There” by Fred Lockley
and appearing dally in the Evening
Journal. Fred Lockley is so big,
whole-souled and American, and his
point of view is so clean and fresh,
that it is to be expected that he
would write lnspiringly of common
things. His style is simple and lu
cid. The reader sees what Lockley
describes. He is not only doing good
in Y. M. C. A. work abroad but here
at home in his daily sketch. More
power to his splendid soul and clean
pen.—Oregon Voter.

WHEN THE LONG LANE TURNED
Standard.
"Almost forty years ago, when I
waa a lad of fourteen, a crotchety old
termer named Joaiah Stebbins ordered
me and two other boys out of his
woods, where we were gathering chest­
nuts," said a gentleman recently, In
reminiscent conversation with a
friend. "Of course, Mr. Stebbins was
within his rights, but there were bush­
els of nuts that he could never use,
and his rough, abusive language an­
gered us.
••W ell got even with you for this,’
Lyman Crosier shouted bade defiantly,
and he added in a lower tone: Tt’a u

"On the wey home we discussed
ways and means of 'getting even’ with
Joaiah Stebbins, bat none of oar boy­
ish projects were practicable. The

mind for a day, and I repeated it to
myself every time I aew Mr. Stebbins.
It did not occur to me that I was nurs­
ing a revengeful spirit; on the con­
trary, I felt rather proud of standing
np tor my own rights.
"One October afternoon the next

"When I readied the top of the

was fall of possibilities. The heavy
door was not likely to be pushed open,
and when the animals were missed It
would be easy to direct the search In
the right direction. Then I should
find the turning of the long lane.
"I decided to take Lyman Croatar
into my confidence and actually set off
for the ¿Crosier farmhouse; but half­
way there I halted. Could I state the
circumstances tn a way to reflect cred­
itably on the pert I was playing? I

Movies In the War.
On the fast crulaersAhat convey the

C. A. movies are In many cases the
only recreation the sailors have. Owing
to the’ need of caution about showing
lights, and owing to the fact that coal
fills most of the space in the ship,
these shows have to be given below
decks in highly restricted quarters.
Now and then it happens that the
sailor who secures even standing room
has to fight tor the privilege.
In government circles the story is
told of a bed labor situation which the
movies remedied. At a certain point
