POETRY TRULY GREAT.
Matthew ArnoId's Rule by Which II
May Be Tested.


May Be Tested.
There can be no more useful help for
discovering what poetry belongs to the
class of the truly excellent ana can
therefore do us most good than to have
always in ones mind lines and express
sions of the great masters and to apply
them as Il tombstone to other poetry
OF course we are not to require this
other poetry to resemble them. 1t ma!
be very dissimilar. But If we have
any tact we shall find them when we
have lodged them well in our minds an
infallible touchstone for detecting the
presence or absence of high poetic
quality and also the degree of this
quality in all other poetry which we
may place beside them. Short pas
sages, even single lines, will serve our
turn quite sufficiently.
Take of Shakespeare line or two OK
Henry " s expostulation with sleep:
Wilt thou upon the high and siddy mast
Seal up the ship boys eyes and rock his
brains
In cradle of the rude, imperious surge?ss
And take as we'll Hamlet's dying re-
quest to Horatio:
If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart.
Absent thee from felicity awhile,
And in this harsh world draw thy breath
in pain
To tell my story s"s
Take of Milton that Miltonic pas
sage:
Darken'd So yet shone
Above them all the archangel, but his face
Deep scars of thunder had intrenched, and
care
Sat on his faded cheek. 30"
Add two such lines as:
And courage never to submit or yield
And what is else not to be overcome.
And finish with the exquisite close to
the loss of Proserpine, the loss
49, which cost Ceres all that pain
To seek her through the world.
These few lines. If we have tact and
can use them. are enough even Of them
selves to keep clear and sound OuI
judgments about poetry, to save US
from fallacious estimates of it, to con
duct us to a real estimate.-Matthew

YALE AND HARVARD GRADS

For the first time In the history of
the two organizations, the Yale and
Harvard alumni associations of the
District of Columbia will clash in a base
ball game at Chevy Chase Club Sat
urday. April IS. The challenge to play
ball was sent by the Yale grads to
the Harvard men several weeks ago
and was promptly accepted. The final
arrangements for the game are rapidly
being completed.
Both the Yale and Harvard alumni
associations have in their ranks sew
eral old varsity ball players who are
expected to get out and get busy about
the diamond. But the membership OF
the teams will not be confined to the
star ball players of college days. for
one good reason, If for no other. and
that is there are not enough to &C
round.
r. Upshur Moorhead Is captain of the
Yale team. and all Yale men in the cit,
who would like to play In the game arr
requested to let MIN know.
Among the Yale grads that Capt
Moorhead is counting on for his team
are Henry 8. Graves, head Of the fores

EXCESS OVER ESTIMATE
EXPECTED IN REVENUES
Treasury Department Confirms Ex.
elusive Statement Made in The
Star Concerning Customs.

The Treasury Department. in a state
ment, confirms estimates exclusively
made in The Star Of a prospective ex-
cess of customs receipts over the esti-
mates of so70 600 600 for the fiscal year
1913-14. While The Star presented figures
obtained from the customs division Of
the Treasury Department. Indicating a
surplus OF from S10,0OO.OOO TO SIS, 600 900
or perhaps larger. the Treasury Depart
ment statement contents itself with ex-
preston Of the expectation that the re-
ceipts at least will equal estimates and
probably will exceed them.
The statement, prepared by Assistan,
Secretary Malburn, in charge Of customs
said:
1T was estimated that the receipts
from customs for the fiscal year 1914
which included three months under the
tariff act of 1909 and nine months under
the present tariff act, approved Octobe.

NORTHEAST TO GET PARKWAY.
Maryland Avenue From 9Th to 18th
IA Re Reautifed.

Maryland avenue, between 9Th and 10Th
streets northeast. is to be provided with
a central parkway. Orders for the I'M
provement were issued today by the
engineer department of the District and
work will be started within two or
three weeks. The street now has width
of sixty feet. Plans for the new ar
rangement call for two twenty-four-foot
roadways and parkway twelve feet wide.
The principal advantages Of the i'm
provement. according to Engineer Com
missioner Harding, will be that 1t will
add to the Identification of that part of
the city and cost the District less for
paving repairs. The expense will be met
out Of the fund for repair of streets.

BUREAU
WORK IS HANDICAPPED
Refusal of House to Grant $139, 900
Appropriation, Cause-Senate
Yet to Act.

Refusal OF the House appropriations

S139,Oo0 for the children's bureau will
seriously handicap the work of that
bureau during the next year, unless the
Senate puts the money back in the bill
and the House then stands by Failure to
appropriate the money asked for by the
Secretary of Labor will delay for one
year the plans of the children's bureau
looking to reducing the high infant NOR
tality rate which exists in this country.
The rate has now reached the alarming
point of 100000 babies year, according
to census figures. and officials of the chill
dren's bureau point to the fact that this
can be materially lowered, and eventually
wiped out. 1t needs only a campaign of
education. conducted by competent ex-
perts. With the additional appropriations
the children 5 bureau would be enabled to
reorSanize its personnel SO as to PROVIDE
for conducting extensive campaign
looking to lowering this high death ra
among the babies in this country.
Work Which Has Been Done.
With it's limited appropriation under
which it has worked during the past
year. $4,000, the bureau has started the
campaign, mas COllecled numerous
statistics showing the death rate and its
causes among the young, and has begun
in a small way q campaign to educate
mothers in the care of the young SO
that the babies may survive the first two
years of life.
It is work which will result in better
American citizens, when the mother can
be taught to raise her children under
!, ideal conditions, it is argued, and to deny
10
which to conduct its campaign would be
a blow. The ultimate attainment of the
ideal conditions for rearing children Is
not a faddist dream, 1t is pointed out
but it has been proven by science that
it can be done by education. and the
education along these lines in this coun.
try falls on the children's bureau-it was
organized for that purpose-but 1t cannot
work to advantage when bound up by
limited funds provided by Congress.
