All FIrsH 10 GRAssSo wrote the prophet Isaiah in
Of those sublime chapters of Oriental poetry full Of beauty
and ruth But Isaiah lived in tents out in the green fields
md there the truth vivid TO his mind that grass fed
upon by animals turned to flesh Therefore he wrote "all
efesh grass" 1t was then-it is not here in this
Cty-hee all flesh is dust particularly all butchers mat
How can be oherw carried in open carts through the
streets enveoped in a perfect cloud of dust composed Of
Juvezed granite sand droppngs of animals and street
garbage ground into impapabe powder by the passage
Of five vehicles every second over the bed OF materas

This substance is sent of IN flying clouds almost dense
srough TO choke living animal aud quite sufficient to hide
al stmbance in the butchers that his flesh had
been grass

dusty enough TO suit those whose very souls wthered

green spot of grass in that only green spot of this part of
the City All now is destroyed-all without the City Hall
black and filthy as all within. Dust and destruction
reign. Dust and mud abound Everybody aud everything

winter winds will turn to dust and drive through the
streets making all flesh grsss-no, making all flesh just
