taxes of property owners, are being agi-
tated. Extension of Nevada's absent
voting" which is done by mail, is being
advocated by both officials and citizens
of that state.
If Montana, by adopting and practic-
ing the system proposed there, should
save its taxpayers 100000 annually,
other measures OF economy would doubt
less be conceived and put into effect. and
Montana'S example would surely be fol-
lowed by states less quick to relieve
themselves of the burden of excessive
taxation which has come to threaten the
entire country's political system with col

The Poets Corner

, These colossal tombs attract and
amaze us
We love the mysteries under the sand
dunes
Such as Amenhoten, Yuas and Tuau.
Rameses. Horemheb, Melepthah and
Tut-Ankh-Amen
Whilst they (figurativey speakins)
Stare at us blindly.
Tut Ankh-Amen, thou Pharaoh, thou
pagan mummy.
Surely the sun, the moon and the
stars.
And all the gods that guard the tenn
pies of Amen are rejoicing.
Surely this modern tale of Thebes-
This laundering at the gates of an
cient lore
This discovery of humanity's youth
This exploration into forgotten years ::
This resurrection of the lost
Surely, o thou Pharaoh. All this
Fulfills the beetles prophecy.
Tell us. thou Pharaoh, the secret Of
thy tomb.
The one thing we lack which thou
didst possess:
Mayhap thou didst possess more than
what we lack. or now possess.
But this we know, thou art mummy
well preserved.
And rather handsome for so old a
man,
Tell us who fly our ships on wings of
ether.
Whose voices span earth's seven roar
ing seas
Whose bodies move on canvas, life
like, after life departs
Who run our chariots without horses
And plow our submarines deep under
ocean waves
All. tell us, thou Pharaoh, we want
TO know;
How didst thou pctrify thy dead?
How preserve the human carcass
from decay?
Tell us, pray give us that secret. and
Atom and Amen.
And the sacred Apis-Bull of thy des-
ert hills.
And all the Nations living on earth
today
Will water the flowers of thy king
dom forever.
And the desert birds, singing at even
tide
Will lull you TO sleep on an oasis of
amending dreams.

to which every normal person aspires

A Vanishing Art
BY III. AddingtOn Bruce.

Somebody in my hearing the other
Gay spoke of conversation as a lost
art. 1t can hardly be called that
without exaggeration. But perhaps it
may properly be termed a vanishing
art.
What happens when people come
| together for social evening? Do they
find in conversation as sufficient
means of passing the time pleasur-
ably?
Not as n rule. There may be few
minutes of inconsequentiai, common
place chit-chat. Then the demand is
to set up the card table, turn on the
photograph, or listen TO radio.
If bridge, monograph, or radio are
not forthcoming, you may be sure
that the social evening will be pro-
longed. "How terrible it is to have
nothing TO do but talk" will be the
sentiment of the great majority.
Yet conversation could be and
should be one of the most delightful
and profitable Of human activities.
For there are so many interesting and
important things to converse about,
and so many different points Of view
for regarding those interesting and i'm
portant things.
That perhaps is the difficulty.
To look at things from more than
one point of view means TO think
hard about things. And hard thinking
is what the majority of modern man
kind would seem TO be particularly de-
sirous of avoiding.
Besides which. conversation offers
so many opportunities for betrayina
ones ignorance. If one is too busy
with ones worlt and ones amusement
to read and study anything, one neces-
sarily will be ignorant about a great
many things. Why, then. run the risk
of exposing ones SCI: TO ridicule by
engaging in conversation?
Herein il may be. too, that we have
in part the explanation not only for
conversations rarity. but for the
present muddled state of society gen
orally.
Social problems. especially the prob
lens Of democratic society. clearly
cannot he solved satisfactorily unless
the individuals who made up society
are willing to give real thought to
those problems and by Judy fit them
selves to discuss them i.,elligently. If
the prevailing tendency is to evade
oil such thinking and avoid all such
discussing. how is social progress To
be continued. how indeed is social sta
bility to be maintained?
Devotion 10 cards. the photograph.
radio. can never take the place of per-
Sonal thought and conversation as in
etrumentalities in human advance
mcnt. If thought and the fine art OF
conversation languish. civilization
must languish likewise.
How little does this seem TO be an
preciatcd today,

A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

What was he doing, the great god Pan,
Down in the reeds by the river?
Spreading ruin and scattering ban,
Splashing and padding with hoofs of goat,
And breaking the golden lilies afloat
With the dragon-fy on the river.
He tore out reed, the great god Pan.
From the deep cool bed of the river:
The limpid water turbidly ran
And the broken lilies a-dyipg lay,
And the dragon-fy had fled away.
Ere he brought it out of the river.
High the shore sat the great god Pan.
While turbdly flowed the river:
And hacked and hewed as a great god can
With his hard bleak steel at the patient reed,
Till there was not sign of leaf indeed
To prove it fresh from the river
He cut It short. did the great god Pan.
(How tall it stood in the rver.)
Then drew the .pith. like the heart Of man.
Steadily from the outside ring,
And notched the poor dry empty thing
In holes as he sat by the river
This is the way" laughed the great god Pan,
1Laughed while he sat by the rivcr)
The only way since gods began
10 make sweet music. they could succeed,
Then. dropping his mouth to n hole in the reed
He blew in power by the river
Sweet, sweet. sweet o Pan,
Piercing sweet by the river,
Binding sweet. o great god Pan,
The sun on the hill forgot to die
And the lilies revived and the dragon-fly
Game back to dream the river
Yet half beast is the great god Pan.
To laugh he sits by the river.
Making a poet out of a man:
The true gods sigh for the cost and PAIN
For the reed which grows nevermorc again
As reed with the reeds in the river.

ADVOCATES HISTORY
 SCHOOL BUILDINGS
New York Architect Submits Views to Survey Committee

Exclusive use of one story schoo buildings was advocated by a New York expert on school building con. struction who appeared before the survey committee last night to dis. cuss types of buildings in use else. where and to view plans of present and proposed schools in this city.
 It is understood that the one stor, type of building met with such favor that the survey committee will rec ommend to the city meeting board that this plan of construction be adopted by the city.
 Among those strongly in favor of the idea is Mayor A. M. Paonessa who believes that much can be saved in building If this type Is used and that the ready means of exit that will be afforded all class rooms will make the buildings safe.
 The New York expert reported that one story buildings are rapidly taking the place of other types of buildings all over the country, and that many gre now in course of construction in Connecticut.
 Heavy walls, double and fireproofed floors and ceilings, fireproofed stair- ceses, etc. are unnecessary in the one story buildings since each room has its individual means of exit and is but few steps from the level of the ground. it is explained.
