Raven Not Altogether Deserving of Bad Nam• Two ravens, one which has taken our continental name, American, and the other which has taken the more specific geographic name of the northern raven, are both Interesting, croaky and not altogether unbeautlful, for In certain lights their plumage Is lustrous. The American raven is smaller than Its more northern cousin. It Is a resident of the far western United States. It is a mountain dweller, although It disdains not to descend to the valleys If man Is absent therefrom. The raven does not like man and the rea» son Is not far to seek. Man does not Mike the raven, holding it with the1 crow its cousin once or twice removed, as being a bird that Js better dead. The diet of the American raven, according to Florence Merrlam Bailey, who knows the western bird well, consists "principally of carrion, dead flsh and frogs, varied •frith "rodents, mussels, grasshoppers, large black crickets and worms." This collection of food Is not altogether a delectable one from the human appetite standpoint, but the raven deserves well of man for making -Its diet what It is. could offer the same policy at such rates. Those who are entitled to it should have it. The reinstatement and conversion privileges are very lib eral. Evidence of good health and the payment of two months' premiums are all that are required to reinstate. Application blanks for reinstatement and conoversion may be obtained from the nearest Regional Office of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, or from the Veterans' Bureau, Insurance Division, Washington, D. C. "Over 4,000,000 veterans permitted their Term Insurance to lapse for more than thirty billion dollars. Huge sums will be lost forever to the dependents of these men, or to the men themselves, unless they take advantage of the government's splendidly reinstatement and conversion. It cannot be that the veterans will let thU final opportunity pa^s, except that they do not know about it, or that they fail to appreciate the good fortune right at hand. There are neither occupational restrictions, nor age limit in the reinstating and conversion of Term policies. • To reinstate, it is simply necessary to pay on£ months' premium at the Wartime rate and one future premium on the form of insurance selected.

The story concerns the fortunes of Bob Snobson (Monte Blue) a ne'erdo- well Easterner who turns tramp and joins forces with Spike (Edward Gribbon) and Potts (Willard Louis) two others of the care-free brotherhood. When the three save the Limited Mail from destruction by a mountain landslide, Jim Fowler (Tom Gallery) the mail clerk, strikes up a friendship with Bob. Together the two men bring up Bob's motherless little son Bobbie (Jackie Huff) and together they fall in love wth Caroline Dale (Vera Reynolds,) an attractive little waitress. Bob's past in the form of a chorus girl returns to disturb his romanca and further complications result at the time Jim is killed in a wreck, due to Bob's carelessness in missing a danger signal. Bobbie falls into a stream when he follows Bob in hs grief-stricken waderings and the man sacrifices the boy to rescue the Mail Train from a landslide. How Spike rescues little Bobbie, how Caroline's faith is restored and she and Bob find happiness togethe forms the climax to the drama story.

Soon after their arrival a district visitor entered one house, where a new thermometer hung !n the middle of the room. The visitor complimented the owner, and inquired If she remembered the instructions. "Ay, that I do," was the reply. "I 'angs 'un there, and I watches 'un utW» til he gets above 60." "Quite right, Mrs. Brown," said the visitor. "And what do you do when it goes above 60?" "Why, I takes 'un down an< puts 'un out In the garden and cools 'un down a bit!"--Weekly Scotsman.
