Dear Miss Brooks:

Dear Miss Brooks:
May I ask for a poem? I believe It
Is called IF We Knew" l know only
few lines, as follows:
II we knew the cares and trials that
surround each others life
Could see the naked heart and spirit
Knew what spur the action give.
Would the grim exterior roughness
seem, I wonder. Just the same?
Would we help where now we hinderf
Would we pity where we blame?
There are several verses; I had IL

wished I had memorized 1t. Thanking
you in advance and Wishing you o.
world of success, sincerely,
LILLIAN, Idaho.
Yes, this is the title of the poem you
wish and the author is anonymous, I
am unable to find the poem in It's en-
tfrety and while I continue my search
L am printing your request together
with what you remember of the poem.
hoping some one of my readers can
supply the missing parts. 1 thank you
most sincerely for the song you sent in.
also for your generous good wishes.
Dear Miss Brooks:
have been watching your corner for
a long time so 1 thought would try
It. I am 10 years of age and so inches
tall. How tall should be? How much
should I weigh? Hoping to hear from
you soon.
SHORTY, Utah.
Are you very sure you have meas-
lred yourself correctly, Shorty? The.
average height for a girl of 10 is 1915
inches and the average weight for that
lge is SO pounds.

toast marshmallows and pop corn. AS
space will not permit the printing OF
many games my suggestion must be
limited along this line. Blindfold each
one In turn and place lighted candles

son q short distance away, turn him
around few times and tell him to go
and blow the candles out. The number

suspend a stick about feet long from
the ceiling and on one end fasten an
apple and to the other end small
cheesecloth bag of -four. Twill the
stick around and each one then tries In
turn to bite the apple. This will create
much amusement.
Dear Miss Brooks:
have two questions I would like to
ask: % Would a person spend more
time in doing certain thing, than they
would If they were just dreaming of
doing it? (2) Could any one hold their
breath as long, If they were using their
energy (such as swimming under
water) as they could If they were not
using their energy? Thanking you in
advance, remain
INQUISITIVE, Utah's Dixie.
G) In most instances. yes. Persons
have been known to dream In one |
feeting moment a series of events |
which might cover hours, days, weeks |
or even longer periods of time If they |
really happened. (2) No, they could |
not. Physical exertion increases the
circulation which is governed by the
cart, and as the number of respira-
lions Is In fairly definite proportion
to the number of heart beats you can
readily see that II one v sxerting
themselves or using their energy their
would necessarily be more
'ften than If they were perfectly quiet
,r passive.

Mr.. T. F. B., Boise, Idaho.-Perhaps
you forgot to enclose the envelope
which you intended to in your letter;
ut least I did not find one. I have one
of your songs and as another one is a
very old one, am sure 1 will have 1t
soon. The remaining one can be had
in the shops. Doubtless you could OBJ
tain 1t In your home town. If you
will send envelope with street address
will gladly send the songs I have for
you.

DRUGGISTS TO SUE STATE
UNIVERSITY FOR ALCOHOL

Notice has been served that a
friendly suit will be brought seeking
to compel the University Of Arizona
to aid in securing alcohol to be used
for legitimate purposes by informa-
ton given by Governor Hunt, ex-offi-
clio member Of the board Of regents of
the school
The notice was given Monday, the
governor said, after the board of re-
gents at a special meeting in Tucson
had declined to comply with a request
presented by druggists that the uni
versity cooperate in making it pos
sible for them to secure pure alcohol.
The regents declined the request in
the belief that the board lacks au-
thority under state laws to grant the
request.
The test which the regents were
told would be made will be brought as
test of state laws, and to determine
the authority of the regents to assist
legitimate druggists and pharmacists
in procuring alcohol.

Far armer-Labor, Minnesota, it was
voted today to reconsider the vote of
yesterday restoring to the bill the
Treasury provision to limit deduc-

taxpayer from tax-exempt securities.
Senator Shipstead declared there was
SO much confusion yesterday that
many senators were uncertain what
they were voting for. The provision
had been approved yesterday, As to
40, after having previously been
turned down.
Several times during the sharp de-
bate which followed on the proposal
speakers were interrupted with re-
quests for order in the chamber. The
provision under question was one OF
the last recommendations of Secre-
tary Mellon to stand fire. 1t had been
approved by the House.
Mr.. Mellon argued it would check
tax evasions and bring in as a re-
suit $35, ,000,0 additional revenue to
the government annually, opponents
of the scheme insisting it would
amount to an indirect tax on present
tax-free securities.
Twenty minutes were spent in an
effort to determine whether it would
be necessary to vote aye or nay tC
