Roosevelts Picture on Stamps
and Bills

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Do you not think that sufficient
time has elapsed since the death Of that
great American Theodore Roosevelt
for this government to pay the tribute
to his memory Of having his picture
engraved either on some of our postage
stamps or on some issue Of our paper
money? This honor has been paid to
other Presidents, and there is surely
no question that Roosevelt, not only
on account of his position as former
President Of the United States but
also as an American Of unusual distinc-
ton and worldwide fame, should be
similarly honored.
l believe that the Women's Roosevelt
Memorial Association is endeavorine
to have two-cent piece minted with
Roosevelt's picture OH it, but whv
should not his picture appear on at
least the dollar bill? I am confident
that the agitation of this question bv
so influential q paper as The Tribune
would be very helpful in bringing
about this very proper recognition on
the part of the government.

The Verse That Lies in prosv GUYS


Sir With the work of the Webster boys
Daniel and NOAH had superficial ac-
quaintance. But this morning, as I turned
to the lattcr's massive volume for elucda-
tion of the word Ogle, which to me meant
only q Paramount player usually seen in
character parts, ] came upon these phrases
revealing Noah a maker Of verses. He
has found the rhyme and is working on
the rhythm. The lines still need little
revision, and think I SEQ how he can
combine his two attempts into fair amphi.
brach. Here, anyway. are the jottings re.
vealing the poet at work:
.. 4. To cast amorous or coquettish xances
designed to pttract notice or invite
advances.
y. t. To view or look at with gances
designed to attract notice or invite
advances. GWEN DoLAN.
Far sweeter than the music concealed
