SEEN ON THE SIDE
by HENRY EDWARD WARNER
Good Morning..


Good morning. Sun. Your earliest rays
Bring promise 10 the summer days
or pleasant strolls through fragrant fields.
or angling trips with toothSome yields,
OF ciamors to the mountain height,
or plunging where the caps arc white!
Good morning. Sun!
Good morning. Birds! Your swelling throats
That drip such pearls of liquid notes
Awoke the sluEGard from his bed,
Lifted the lazy sleepsr's head,
You called the Sun to wake the day
And drive nights sombrc shades away!
Good morning. Birds.
Good morning. Flowers. Your fragrance spills
It's sweets in carpeted woods and fills
The air with breath OF sheer delight:
Your colors tempt us, fair and bright,
To wander in the silent wood.
Where life is worthy. life is good.
Good morning. Flowers!
Good morning, All.

Looking at the wide world wondering
What is there sweetheart. to take the baby's

Calico.


For The Times Dispatch
When ! was boy.
Some years ago.
University girls wore "colico"
Ihcy giEEled and laughed
And nirtcd and sang:
Their musical voices cchoing rang,
At hops and germans
They were the go:
Those beautiful girls wore calico"
But where arc they now?
They are clamorinc loud.
They will run us away.
From our dear Alma Mater.
They viii cuff and caress ia.
Outyotc and Cypress us
cold pity and help us. Amen,
ALIEN SMITH.

THE DOCTORS

ANYBODY with n habit of general
IAreading will easily recall the faddists
in letters and philosophy who a few years
ago spent half their time finging derision
at the medicos, Bernard Shaw was one
who led in this diversion. The late Elbert
Hubbard was another. These revolution
lists and the broods that they inspired with
their airy philosophy held that u proper
diet fresh air, exercise and walking in the
garden was all one needed to keep well.
To all such persons-N1r. Shaw included
there must come a time when a sudden
qualm or pain or a fever and a riotous
fear of death or long illness VIII make the
sight of a patient doctor at the bedside
seem like unto a vision of heaven. Doctors
have their faults. Yet they are mighty
comforting to have about and. on the
whole, nightly efficient
Virtually every man in the medical pro
fossion in this city has been working about
twenty hours day since the grip epidemic
got under way. For much of the work
they are doing these physicians neither
receive nor expect adequate pay. When
the epidemic is over we shall have the
Similarly, many people in good health owe
their very existence to forgotten medicos
who steered them safely through the
serious illness that falls to every one at
some time or other.
1t is true that II great many people
overdo doctoring. And there are doctors
who take advantage of the habit to fattcn
their incomes. But it is TO the everlasting
credit of all physicians that in pinch
like this they forget themselves altogether
and work without reward almost until they
drop. In the ordinary course of life, in
their hospitals and among the poor. most
doctors play part much like that Of the
soldier, whose chief reward is the memory
of unselfsh service. Surely the city owes
its physicians great debt at this time.

Member of the Associated Press
DON'T LET THE LOAN LAG

T1HE people do not need to he prodded
= into buying bonds. but some seem to
have got into the habit of expecting to be
urged.
The prevalence of grip has forced the
which eloquent speakers were expected
TO give a catalogue of reasons for invest.
ing money in victory securities.
But the prevalence of grip has not de-
creased the pressing needs of the Govern
ment for money. 1t has not affected the
necessity of prosecuting the war with all
our power. II is not necessary to labor
this proposition. Every one admits it who
gives IL a moments thought.
The epidemic. however. has provided the
occasion for every patriotic citizen with
resources which can be invested in bonds
to show the stuff that he is made of by
making his subscriptions as generously
and as promptly as though he We're re-
spending to the thrilling pleas of the most
brilliant speaker in the community or to
the beseechihg of the most persuasive
ences when public assemblages We're
allowed
When the subscriptions are totaled at
the close of the drive we are confident that
the comparative showing Of this Federal
Reserve district will be as fine as that of
any other district
In the meantime the business men who
advertise In the newspapers are doing
their share. a glance over the columns
OF this newspaper will reveal the extent
TO which they are giving up to appeals
for Subscriptions for bonds the space which
they ordinarily devote to describing their
wares. These business men are subscrib
Ing to the bonds without urging. The rest
OF US are going TO do as well.

YTvHE leaders of the Presbyterian Church

crisis and sit by the fire and warm them
selves. At the General Assembly of the
Church in Columbus, o., last May plans
we're made for raising $75,O0O,oOO during
the next five years to be devoted to mis-
rionary, educational and rehabilitation
work. OF this sum s12,5o0,OO0 is to be
raised this year. One million OF this
amount is to be devoted TO the rehabilita-
ti0n of wounded soldiers and s1,500,OO0 to
r>building churches in the devastated re-
klons Of France, Belgium and Italy.
4, series OF 500 meetings, to be held in
Inherent parts of the country, will begin
cnrly next month, when the plans will be
oxpiained and the money will be asked for.
Each church is expected to double its usual
oontributions to the general work of the
church.

w of the wartime status of German
music. the Boston Symphony's compliment
TO France in selecting Henri Rabaud as
successor to DR.. Karl Muck may be safely
applauded as a step indicative of both
patriotic wisdom and artistic discernment.

position of France is conspicuously high.
