APPROACH TO
POETRY

TIHE approach TO poetry must
L not be that of judge at a
horse show, but must be made,
rather with something of the
divine ardor of human passion,

magazine. When general reader
falls in love he does not approach
his lady with foot rule in order
to ascertain whether her measure.
ments are identical with hose of
the Venus Of Melos. He may
compare her lips to ripe cherries
and her hair to spun gold, but it
is unlikely that he would think
of purchasing a pound of cherries
or an ounce of spun gold with
view of testing the correctness Of
his comparisons. Similarly It is
only by a passionate approach to
poetry that full response can
be obtained. Just as 1t is true
that, so far from being blind, love
is, perhaps, the only thing that
we can see, so we can only see
poetry by loving IT."

VOU are naturally more inter
Il ested in keeping well than in
getting well. That is to say, you
believe first in preventing of dis
case and only secondly in curing
disease.
But even that is not enough. You
may be well, but there is such a
thing as more health and better
health.
This is attained most completely
by living in harmony with the nat
ural laws that make your well be-
ing. You accomplish that largely
by guarding against the first and
always insidious beginning Of dis
ease. This calls for the periodic
health examination by your ply
stefan.
No health examination can ever
be complete. A complete examina-
ton would be a full utilization of
for testing the quality Of the tbs:
sues, the functional capacity Of
the organs, and the possible effect
of varying conditions of stress, etc.
The subject would have to be kept
under observation for full year
IN order that comparative studies
might be made and possibly thera-
peutic tests as well. Such an ex.
animation would certainly do more
harm than good. An examination
is complete If it fulfills the purpose

Bobbie hadn't wanted to say that,

stop herself.
Gus MacCloud put out his hand
and it closed over hers on the seat
between them.

quietly. His ice-bIue eyes left the

Bobbie feel as IL he had touched
her in a swift caress.
They sped on toward the ocean,
and the keen sea air came in to-

blowing 1t to witness. The two
heads-the mans sandy one and
the girls raw-gold one-were close
together.
They sat on green hill above
the ocean. and watched the sun
slowly sink into the blue Pacific.
Far below them was the ocean, and
beside it the wide motor road that
curves along the shore toward
Ocean Park and Venice.

dancers must be accompanied by
their parents,
