JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY (By Wilbur D. Nesbit) Where is he gone? Th* lengthening miles. Have lure 1 him to the afterwhiles And there he fares down aisles of bloom That thrill the air with their per- fume; Yet still his song forever singsâ€" This man who sang of common things. Aye, he was brother to the brooks, Had kinship with the forest nooks. And caturht the vibrant rhyme of truth That lines the laughing lips of Youth ; Age found him not: his heart had wingsâ€" This man who sang of common •things. The rose a drip with honeydew. The silvered clouds-against the blue. The friendly trees, and wind-swept Gave hail to him when he would pass ; Hi;; were t'u> summers and the Th springs m;.,s* thir who sang of Deep-shrined within the honn'folks* heart Is held his simple, humble art Which glorifies, the' everyday And gives us joy along the way To free our souls of scars .and stingsâ€" ' . " . ' ,. ' : This man who sang of common things. * The golden song of heaven is A poem built of souls" like his, Whose gentle songs were fashioned of God's light, and laughter, life and love. Where is he gone? The lengthening miles Have lured him to the afterwhiles. 1,324 men were aided with insurance problems; 2.013 with compensation problems; 1,944 with allotment and allowance difficulties; 1,029- with financial a.Wstance and 1,468 were given employment and vocational ad- vice. Hundreds of others were aided in secu'in.! bonuses, locating bonds, straightening out of financial diffi- culties and in the correction of dis- crepencies in pay and discharge papers. Chicago and the north shore has extended a welcoming hand to more than 1,074.149 passing troops during the past year through its canteen service. Some idea of the magnitude of this work is shown in the follow- ing facts: Meals served at the can- teen in Grant Park total 112.748; H,- 183,220 cigarettes have been distribut- ed while .-U'>,29() cups of coffee and 383,200 doughnuts have been served at various hours of thje day and night. Future plans already formulated by the Chicago chapter embrace a re- organization of the four Base Hos- pitals, Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen and Fourteen, whose war record over- eas reflected great credit upon Chi- cago. They will-be equipped to func- tion in all emergencies so that any need arising from flood, fire, epi- demic or Other cause may be instant- ly met.

Many discharged men are not familiar with or are inclined to dis- regard this provision of law and are allowing their rights thereunder to lapse. Request for the certificate men- tioned above should be made to the Chief Medical Advisor, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington. D. C.
