Mother and Child

Free verse has been used to express
many crratic and wild things, but Jean
Berry has shown that it can reveal the
heart of a child as perfectly as others
have shown that it can express the
maundcring of neurasthenics. She has
gathered into a book not quite seventy
poems. under the title of "My Child"
They begin with the birth Of the babe
and end when she goes away to school.
They reveal the child heart and cx-
hibit the strength of the bond between
mother and babe. They will make the
heart of every mother glow with ten
derncss when she reads them. Here is
one of the cpisodes described
When I went for the good night kiss just

""Therc is no such thing as navy

the party which greeted him at the
pier used the phrase IN commenting
on the progress of the nc squadron.
I'VE have been working up to this
flight for two years" he continued.
..and as in other projects within its
sphere of activities. what the navy has
done was due to n perfect system OF
operation.
Secretary Daniels expressed conf e
dence in Commander John T. Towers
and his associate aviators. saying that
their work had fully justified their ap-
pointmcuts. lie commended also the
courage of the fliers.
The secretary stated he had made it
known in Great Britain that the Amer
lean transatlantic fight was not in
tended as a competition with tho efforts
of British aviators. Its object. he said,
was to contribute toward the charting
of the air course from America to
Europe.
