PRIZE ESSAY
THE MILK BOTTLE MEN
(By Alice Murphy)
Once there were some rich people
who had a little boy. He was quite
sickly. He hardly ever arfe good, nour
ishing food. HV was always eating
something sweet. Usually when din
ner time came he was never hungry
and ate nothing. As he was the only
boy his parents usually let him eat as
he pleased. His name was Tom.
Once Tom became slightly ill and
the doctor said the only thing he!
could have was milk. He also said
that Tom could have no candy nor
anything sweet. Tom didn't like milk
and every* ime they gave him some he ;
would cry and kick in bed.
Then one night a dream came to
Tom. He dreamed he was taken to a
large castle upon the hill. Upon the
door was written, "Milk for Weak
Boys.’’ He was very much frighten
ed when he saw this. The Milk Bot- j
tie Men of this castle had heard of
Tom and were very disappointed to!
think he did not like milk, because it!
was a very delicious food. When Tom
■opened the door and saw milk bottles
with arms and legs he was more j
frightened than ever. Soon they start
ed to talk and sympathize with him
and he was not afraid any more.
The Milk Bottle Men took him j
through the castle, showing him many
things he had never seen before. The
things Tom saw were: energetic fairy
vitamines dancing over a snowwhite
floor. There were little roly-poly ba
bies, doing fancy stunts for bottles of
milk. From a distance once he thought
he saw a string of pearls but when he
got near he discovered it was a
string of small bottles of milk. When
he visited an ice cream parlor he saw
everybody drinking milk with straws
and enjoying it immensely. Another
interesting scene was a castle made
of ginger cakes with columns of milk,
it also had a wall around it. This
wail was made up of very small bot_
ties of milk. After they had shown
him these they gave him a large glag*
of milk. Tom did not want to drink
the milk, but he was afraid the Milk
Bottle Men would get angry if he did
not, so he drank it. He was very
much surprised when he drank it to
find it was sweet and delicious. As
Tom was just drinking this glass of
milk he woke up.
When he found that all that had
happened was just a dream he thought
he wrnuld try out the milk in his own
home. Everybody was surprised but
pleased at him for asking for a glass
of milk.
Tom drank a pint of milk daily. He
soon recovered and was very thank
ful for milk and every day now he
still drinks his milk.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 15.—The Pa
nama Canal is the Achilles heel of
America. This is <he observation of
Alvin Owlsey, national commander of
the American Legion, who recently
returned from Panama where he wit
nessed the maneuvers of the United
States fleet in Panamanian waters.
The American Legion, through its
national legislative committee, will
work for the betiter defense of the
canal, he said.
“We built at Panama the most pow
erful defense known when we com
pleted the canal. Since then we have
had a world war and now ships could !
bombard the entrance to the canal *
without being reached by the shore!
batteries. The canal is most vulner
able from the air. The fleet maneu
vers demonstrated conclusively that
the canal could not be successfully j
defended against aerial attacks, and j
planes could bomb them at will. The j
only way to fight airplanes is from the
air.” He advocated the establishment
of airplane bases within the zone, i
with fighting planes and fighting pilots j
ready to take the air in defense of the ;
canal.
