Today's Talk
"TWlNKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE
starr"
BY George Matthew Adams

Nothing has a more soothing and in
spring influence on the mind than the
stars The stars are the favorite theme
of the poets.
There are stars for almost every
mood-big stars, little stars, and stars
so tiny that you loose them while they
play here and there.
No wonder we speak of leaders, and
of those who greatly excel as stars.
What a sight on clear night-the
heavens a veritable network of stars,
billions and billions Of them, each hav-
ing a special place in which to play,
and each intent on shining in its own
star way.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star-how
! WONDER what you are!"
No time is ever wasted at the stars.
They tell a story that nothing else
could. For hundreds and hundreds OF
years they have sat up there in their
blue yard looking on at the ways and
needs of men.
But not until one has pitched his
tent" under the very eyes of the stars,
is their real wonder and beauty fully
appreciated.
If you want to sleep the sleep Of the
happy, get far from the citys hum, and
find quiet place amongst the trees In
the country, and there lie down to
your dreams with your eyes set upon
the stars above you.
Stars do not talk back! And you
feel their very thoughts for you just
the minute that they begin to dance
When you are sore distressed, go
out and look into the heart of star.
And when you feel extra lonely and In
need of special encouragement and
cheer, hunt out your favorite star.
Settle your problems, and smooth
out the kinks of your everyday, under
the canopy of the stars!

 The commission said that in the most cases it could now determine amounts or parts of amounts due the carriers but that it's certified ton of these sums to the Treasury could not be honored by the Treas ury. since the comptroller had ruled that such applications for advances must have been granted prior to September l.
