Trail's End?
A pilgrim travelling a lonely road one day encountered a tired little hunchback. Feeling sorry for the cripple, he gladly agreed to carry him. For many miles the little fellow's weight was as nothing on the pilgrim's broad back.
As they travelled along, however,
the pilgrim began to tire. Each succeeding step seemed to increase the weight on his back. Looking over
his shoulder, he was horrified at the apparition he saw; for the hunchback had changed into a hideous monster.
The pilgrim and his burden at this time had drawn up at a water crossing. The lost pilgrim struggled desperately to free himself but the frail arms of the hunchback were now cordons of steel around his neck. Goaded into the water, he sank like a stone.
In the beginning, the munitions maker seemed harmless enough and helpful at times. Frontiersman and pioneers bought his bullets and rifles to shoot game and protect themselves from savages. They like-wise purchased his powder to blast stumps from homesteaded areas.
The munitions maker, being human, decided we must improve the technique and efficiency of shooting game, killing savages, and blasting tree stumps. Primitive equipment was successively replaced by dynamite, nitroglucerin, heavy and long range artillery, automatic weapons, aerial bombs, and the atom bomb.
It is argued that the college graduate leaves the school without any knowledge of a practical trade. If he has been active in campus affairs, however, he is likely to have a fair working acquaintance with statue painting—Bill Vaughan, K.C. Star.
Recipe for social success in college: 1) Have a car; 2) Be a good conversationalist; 3) Have a car; 4) Be congenial; 5) Have a car; 6) Be a good listener; 7) Have a car (Note—if the car is a cream convertible, numbers two, four, and six may be left out.)

After the first few improvements, some of the more observing people decided that their weapons and munitions could be used for something more than shooting game, killing savages, and blasting tree stumps. Besides, the frontier had been settled.

During the resulting wars, the munitions maker also saw the light. He expanded his plant, built others, and grew fat on the demand for his product, while others, observing his success, began a race into the field
The race has continued and the world has become an armed camp. And the munitions makers, too, have taken on a hideous aspect. They have grown fabulously rich and powerful by selling their goods to both sides. They operate jointly in many countries. National governments are dependent on them. Historians even claim they have manipulated government policies to prolong wars and have hired propagandists to undermine peace conferences.
The world has carried the burden on its shoulders a good way and is showing signs of tiring. When will it reach the water's edge?—James D. Head.
