More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
THE TOUCAN

THE TOUCAN
The tCucan is a solemn bird
Of which you frequently have heard.
He flaunts about the tropic zone
A beard that's built OF solid bone;
Behind which glean two piercing
eyes
Which makes him look extremely
wise.
II you perchance should gaze ON him
You'd think him dour, and stern ana
grim
Great strength OF character you'd
Behind that large imposing face,
In every lineament you'd find
The mark OF tremendous mind,
Deducing from his naughty stare
An Elder Statesman OF the air.
And yet the toucans not so mucn;
He lives on bugs and fruits ana
such
In craven fear he takes TO flighJ
When owls or eagles heave in Signt
His beak g sajtiff's nature. cloaks,
For birds are very much ike folks -
Despite q proud and pompcus air
They may be, so to speak, not there
Nor can we learn from men or books
A way to pick 'en by their looks.

PROTEST SECRET
VANZETTI INQUIRY

Boston-(FP)-Sacco and Vanzet-
/ ii live another 80 days. Gov Fuller
has stayed execution till Aug. 10,
when they die on the electric chair
at Charlestown penitentiary unless
they are again spared.
Celestino Madeiros, who confessed

absolved Sacco and Vanzetti, is also
reprieved till the same date. Madei-
ros was to have died July 10 for an
other crime.
The governors present action gives
no clue to his final course. The re-
prieve was granted, he explained,
merely to give more time to study the
case.
The respite came two days bofere
Sacco and Vanzetti were taken from
their cells in Dedham Jail to the
Charlestown lighthouse. Madeiros, a
lighthouse inmate, is confined in a
tiny cell, shut in on all sides so that
he cannot look out into the passage
way.

mittee draws little comfort from the

less enough to try to interpret it as
positive sign one way or the other"
they declare. "The cure for an un-
fair trial is not a secret investiga-
ton, no matter how honest and high
minded the Investigators are. Though
it is possible that tardy, fair treat
ment might be prescribed for Sacco
and Vanzetti as a result of such an
investigation, yet this method of di-
agnosis runs counter to all the basic
principles of American justice.
'The issues raised by Judge Thay-
er's conduct of the trial, and by Katz-
mann and others connected with the
prosecution, are linked inseparably
with the Illustration of justice in this
case. They cannot be met secretly.
If they are faced squarely and openly
it is inevitable that Sacco and Van

wherefOreS of a married woman

of view. 1t is extremely difficult for
woman who has been Financially
independent through her own efforts
to ask for pocket money-and if is
also very difficult for the woman who
hates homework and who has learn
ed to love her office life to become
resigned to the position of a domes-
tic.
l see no reason why my CORES
pendent should have given up her
job. She wanted the extra money
and she did not mind working. Per-
maps, however, she has been making
things too easy for her husband.
NelCher men nor women can do their
best when things are made too easv
Tor them. An acute observer of ma
ture Every time a woman
takes in washing her husband laws
down the spade.'
And that is largely true. Once a
mans incentive to work-necessitv
IS taken away from him he generally
loses interest in his work. That is
why the clinging vine sort of wife
one who is helpless and dependent
often brings out the best that there
IS IN certain type of husband. If
she could stand on her own feet. he
would let her do it, but because she
is helpless and depenednt and can do
nothing out hang around his neck, he
feels that he must fight to death
for her. An extravagant wife is al

because he has had to hustle to meet
her demand he has made the effort
that turned him into a rich man.
