Rsadsr, Anpreciate PoetrY.

Not only are there a great many
writer's Of real poetry. and still more
writer's of ear roetry, but there must
be an enormous number OF readers
who do not turn over the page hastily
when they see a poem In II magazine.
There is no way OF getting a census OF
these poetry readers; but every one
knows the axiom of editorial liz +:
Give the public what II wants. Magt-
zine editors r printing more poetry
and better poetry than they did a Few
Decades bnck. Some magazines even
feature poems instead of sticking them
carelessly In odd nj the end or
stories and among advertisements
Hence the logical deduction that verse
Is now a live and popular subject

Changes in Solar System.

Each day our relation to the vast
universe changes a little. The fixed
stars are no more fixed than are the
clouds in the sky" writes Ellsworth
Huntington, In Harper's Magazine.
"Even In 10000 years their relative
positions change appreciably. And In
the course of geological history the
whole aspect of the heavens has ut
terly changed time and again. Stars
that are now hundreds of light years
away may once have been near neigh
bors OF the sun. Sometimes the solar
system may have pursued Its course
far from other stars and almost UNI
disturbed by outside influences. At
such times the earth may have en-
joyed a mild climate with little change
from summer to winter or from lati-
tude to latitude

Exsrcise Must Dc REGULAR.

Exercise becomes of value only when
it is taken regularly. Normal persons
should walk several miles every day.
and should make the practice a habit.
There Is no hope for the nervous indi-
vldual whose bad habits have made
him fabby and devoid Of stamina. He
cannot be well II his muscles lack tone.
Irregularity in rising In the morning is
another pernlcious habit. Lying abed
after the regular hour of rising makes
for muscular and moral fiabbiness.

Public Opinion
Amhoy Avenue Condition

EDlIOH lev ENlNb NHWo'
You seem to get good results when
you have an article in the News COM
planning of certain conditions-so
I'm going to ask if you will kick
a little regarding the condition OF
Amboy avenue between Brace and
Hall avenues.
At present, 1t is in bad shape, and
especially dangerous, as northbound
traffic bears to the left to clear the
depression. At the intersection of
Hall avenue there is a very bad con
dition caused by the heighth of a
manhole cover and the various de-
grees of depressions close by.
l have personally seen n auto
overturn due to that condition. and
l believe that a serious accident may
be avoided if care in repairing it is
done now.
1t is possible that street Off
cials never pass that way so that
they too might have the experience
of others?
Is it possible that they are not
farsighted enough to take a little
care Of such conditions without hav-
ing to have it called to their atten-
ton through the press?
There's not a thing lacking when
salaries are to be raised and they
sure are on the job--for that, and
that seems to end It.
In closing l must say that a lot
of money could be saved the city, #
salaries were paid in accordance to
the work produced, yet 1t appears
tc be the reverse.
Yours very truly,
SECOND WARD"
