THE supreme court has ruled that the nine
teenth amendment is constitutional Many
women will be surprised to learn that its con-
stitutionality had been questioned Suppose
the amendment had been declared unconsti-
tutional? But that's an idle supposition, for,
as Mr.. Dooley said, 'th' soopr-reme coort follys

McGavock-
TOTHER day we pulled grammatical
boper in a colyum caption We've been ex-
pecting some one tell US about it but none
mas, SO We'll confess. Here's the line We wrote:
Some one besides the hens were laying for
htm." Well, no one appears to be laying for
us.
BUT the fact that we fail to receive needed
criticism doesn't deter US from giving it to
others. Frinstance here are extracts from
three poems which appeared in the Trib's Line
one printed Saturday and two Sunday:
Our lives, Like oaks, are stronger
for the storm
And peace will come if it is bravely
borne
=. Heart, that hath lain within me,
Heavy with burdenlng snow
OF the bitter and restless confusion,
That the wintering spirit knows. -.
"IT1 tire of you when the shadows
Come not at close of day;
And when the golden star CLEANS
Are turned to blackened rays =.
If such slip-shod rimes continue to appear
in the once greatest colyum of them all even
faithful Laura Blackburn will desert the Line
to join B. l. It's contribs, who are old-fash-
Toned enough to demand that their rtmes be
kept on straight
JOHN TURNER, M. ID.
Do you wonder who he is,
That somewhat shabby individual
With the pleasant smile
And CHEEKY Hello?
AND may be you wonder, too,
Why everybody knows him
And appears glad to know him:
Why one passes him on the street
Without a glad word
Or smile and wave of the hand
Shall 1 tell you? -.
The sign next to his office window
Reads, John Turner, M d.;
But we all call him just Doc,
And we all love nlm-
he has bee1 with many years now:
No one knows quite well as he,
Nor understands better.
He has spent all his time
Easing pain and mending wounds.
Reckoned in dollars and cents,
He isn't worth much,
Doc isn't;
He doesn't own E. ut of land,
And his incnI-.e isn't much to speak of;
But mis- v"-I Is more unshakable
Tsap the strongest bank in the world
Tnere are lots of babies named after him
And he's mighty rich in friends.
You it's this way:
When Doc" comes to call us,
We're not wearing our best clothes:
We're sick in bed,
And sometimes
We're not very pleasant to look at
But when you're down sick,
You'll be surprised to find
How easy it is to get acquainted with Doc"
The sign on his office reads,
John Turner, NJ. d.,
But we can't help just calling him Doc"
1t means SO much more to us
1t makes us feel sort of a kinship with
And we're proud of that
Scarlet fever out in the Sandy Hook neighbor-
They're slow pay out in that section
But Doc doesn't care
He'd never hang off because Of that
You see,
His business is easing pain and mending
Wouldn't you like pretty we'll
To meet him yourself?
