TODAY'S POEM
A PATRIOTIC WISH.

I'd like to be the sort of man the flag
 could boast about, I'd like to be the sort of man it
 cannot live without; I'd like to be the type of man That really is American; The head-erect and shoulders square Clean minded fellow, just and fair, That all men picture when they see The glorious banner of the free. I'd like to be the sort of man the flag
 now typif1es, The kind of man we really want the
 flag to synbolize; The loyal brother of a trust, The big, unseIfsh soul and just; The friend of every man oppressed, The strong support of all that's
 best,
 The sturdy chap the banners
 meant
 Where'er it flies to represent. I'd like to be the sort of man the flags
 supposed to mean. The man that all in fancy see wher-
 ever it is seen; The chap that's ready for a fight Whenever there's a wrong to
 right,
 The friend in every time of need, The doer of the daring deed, The clean and generous handed That is a real American.

STAMP BOOK INVENTOR"
 WANTS A MILLION

The battle to protect Uncle Sam from being soaked" by the horde of claimants that seek to collect at his expense has many interesting as poets.
 That little vest-pocket stamp book with a, dozen stamps in it, price 25 cents, is the subject of a law suit in which Uncle Sam is asked to pay more than $1,OOO.oOO damages. It is declared to be royalties due the pa tentee of the stamp book idea.
 The case goes back to 1898. In that year, through Senator Penrose, two models of a, stamp book patented by Frank G. Farnhanl, together with a printed pamphlet explanatory of the device, were referred to the then Third Assistant Postmaster General. John A. Merritt was third assistant at the time and replied that the De- partment deems it inexpedient to sell postage stamps in the way proposed" :" However, after July 1, 1899, the then third assistant postmaster general, Edwin c. Madden, designed with out knowledge of the existence of the Farnham patent the stamp book now used by the Department. The Bur eau of Engraving and Printing evolved methods for it's manufacture and the Post Office Department began the public sale of-two cent stamps in book form.
 Farnham wants the alleged profits of the government on the sale of the stamp books during the ten year per iod from 1900 to 1910. The govern ment sells twelve two cent stamps for a quarter, charging one cent for the book The contention is that the profits on the sale of the books during the ten years have exceeded a million dollars.
 The court of claims disn1i issed Farnham's contention. The latter s attorneys then appealed to the su- preme court where a. final decision is now soon expected.

DIRTY HUMAN BEINGS PREFERRED BY PRELATE
 TO INHUNIAN CLEAN

New York, June CT would rath- CT be human and dirty than ,inhuman andSclean,'' said Archdeacon Hudson Stuck of the Yukon in the 'baccalau- cate sermon which was part of the one hundred and sixty-second com mencement exercises of Columbia Uni versity.
 'I hold no brief for dirt said the venerable prelate, but there is too much professional cleaning up being done in the world" Almost his en- tire address was a denunciation of the professionalism" which, he said, per meates much of the Iabors of the present day investigators and ''so- cia1 service workers. He said in part:
 ET have always had a sort of dread for this reason, of trained socioIogists, of anthropol ologists with a, turn for practical benevo1ence, of political ecO- nomists5 of psych ho1ogicaI pedagogues and graduates in similar subjects. With their experim enta1 laboratories, their card indexes and filing cabinets, their tabulations of statistics. their re- duetion of people to categories, they are always in danger of thinking of men and women in a1gebraic formu- lac.
 'As soon as philanthropy becomes professionalized it no longer evokes gratitude; it provokes antagonism, and we are almost at once confronted with the sarcasm about - !" Organized charity, skimped and
 iced
 In the name of a cautious, statistical
 Christi
 "Of this you may be well assdred, that the process of cleaning up, where soever it be, will be much more likely to succeed if it be approached in the amateur rather than in the profes- siona1 spirit, if it be attacked with the accompaniment of the sympathy for lesser undertakings, for ingrained hu- man prejudices, for the persistence of human individuality and even hu- man perversity.-
 ''The professional sanitarian and hy- gienist is exceedingly likely to regard the people with whom he deals, as just so many automats to be regu1at- ed and cleaned up. Comfort and con venience and personal preference and noment.
 ''The lack of sympathy, the lack of a sense of humor-and think no one can really persist in the professional attitude who has sense of humOr- the lack of a large comparison for the inf1rmities of others, these lacks cut one off from one's fellow men; set one in another class, detach one: and not planes of severance but points of contact are necessary if one is to influence mankind, points of contact with the unclean as well as with the clean, yea, even with the unthanHfuI and the evil"

Do you advise me to give him a chance to visit next time he asks ?'

 IN PROTEST OF BAND

Albert E. EccIes, president of Bridgeport Musical union, local No. 63, denied today that. the organization has prepared any protest to send the park commissioners against allowing the non-unfon Bridgeport Marine band to play two concerts in public parks next month. President Eccles said he had heard that the Olympic band rnemb bers were dissatisfied be- cause they as @ union band had not been given engageme while the non-union band had been employed He said the matter had not officially been brought to the attention of union officials and no action had been talk en.
 Business Manager John J. Broad brook and other members of the OIyn1- pic band insist that the matter was brought to the attention of the union officials last Thursday. They claim it will be taken up at the next meeting, They are not making a protest be caues their band was not hired but because the park commissioners have employed non-union music.

One of the charms of this separ- ate blouse is its color scheme. The model is fashioned from pink lawn, but the deep yoke is of white, with collar and revers of the same. A pink hem is hemstitched to the col lar and revers, giving the necessary touch of color after a sudden break from pink to, white in the waist and yoke. In medium size the design re- quires 2 yards 3e-inch pink and A yard 36-inch white lawn Either pink or white may be used for the narrow ruf1e that outlines the deep yoke
 Since a contracting material Is used for the yoke, unusual care must be taken with the cutting of the
