SAFETY

Where the lily-pads are anchored II
the shaded pools I wade,
Hunting twirly tadpoles with the
green reeds pointed blade.
There are minnows in the shadows
and green flies overhead,
On the bank drift the mosquitoes
round turtles soaked log bed
Once I swan out in deep waters
where the cold springs spread as
1eaven,
And I dove through crystal spaces
in the blue reflected heaven.
Deep I dove and kissed the pebbles
frozen stars of shadow skies,
Then a chill, sharp pain went
through me as I struggled to
arise.
Death was waiting thereto wrap me
in a shroud of Shiny weeds;
But I wrestled and outwitted him
with all the crew he feeds.

Plate Glass Windows.

It is estimated that no less than
S100,00O,000 is annually expended in
the dressing of windows. The best
stores and shops depend upon their
window displays to attract custom
ers whom they want to know their
goods. New things are sought out
in window displays. For this reason
rayon materials in smart frocks are
attracting more attention than ever
because this new man-made textile
is gaining in favor among discrimi-
mating purchasers who are always
on the lookout for beautiful things
to wear.

that you give the ice man instruc-

generous supply of ice with you on

possible to check upon the travelling
public. The vacationists are accom-
panied by the best class of baggage

includes everything that is needed
from shoe cases to overnight bags,
suit cases, hat boxes, that are made

servative black and different shades
such as blue, brown, green, tan and

Getting Use To Brickbats
The light that is focused upon a
President seems to grow in intensity
with the years; just as science is ac-
tually developing more power in the
actual appliances for utilizing rays.
The light" sometimes takes the
form of criticism. Different Presi-
dents have responded to this in diff
ferent ways. Recently there have
been certain contrasts made between
Mr.. Coolidge and Mr.. Hoover in this
respect. People forget one great
difference between the men. The one
is a seasoned politician who early in
life went through the "brickbat"
stage and knows very well just how
to withstand the shocks; the other
has been for a good part of his life
"boss," in the administrative sense,
and has not developed a naturally
sensitive nature to the coat-of-mail
resistance point. This difference may
be illustrated in the fishing diver
sions of the two Presidents. Once
upon a time Mr.. Coolidge made a
casual remark about fishing being
boys sport. A lot of "big kids" did
not like that. Mr.. Coolidge, without
much stress, simply made a quiet
remark that he had fished as boy
and would probably take some fish
ing tackle along with him on his
vacation. And in a serious way he
went at learning the art of casting
a fly. Mr.. Hoover, who would rather
fish than eat, secured two fishing
camps for his recreation. When
someone complained that he was be-
ing deprived of stream he had
been accustomed to fish Mr.. Hoover
practically abandoned that stream.
Then comes criticism that the
Rapidan camp was built at the ex-
pense of the public. This hurts the
President and it is promptly made
known that the Virginia authorities
are responsible for the road-build=
ing "a fine ADVERTISEMENT while Mr..
Hoover himself has paid personally
for the equipment and maintenance
of the camp. That kind of a brickbat
did not disturb Mr.. Coolidge. After
a time Mr.. Hoover will come to feel
that it is worth shutting ones ears
to some mean filings if one can only
catch a mess of trout few hours
ride from the Nations Capital.

Government Cost To Increase

The intimation has come that af-
ter a study of appropriations made
by Congress and other mandatory
obligations the country must face a
considerable increase in the cost of
Government. A Four Billion Dollar
Budget is again suggested. When you
talk about economy in Government
it is not perhaps wise to put the
blame for extravaganza on someone
other than yourself. The average
American has a new expenditure
sense in his own household. 1t is
only natural that it should get to
Washington. Even the Japanese
beetle is in the grounds of the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences. Spend
ing money is only hard for the real
ly rich and the really poor, the lat
ter having too little for their actual
requirements and the former too
much for their knowledge Of its
wise use. The amount that is vast
ed annually by well-intentioned Civ
ers would surprise you. Do not ex-
pect too much of any Government
under the present conditions.

Progress In Game Breeding

Everything indicates that the So

in the Northern States and bobwhite

tinuous excavation. The charges OF

Gnod Manners For The Street

Good Manners FOr Ino OCIooI
It is natural to put the best foot
forward when stepping out of doors.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crouch become all
smiles and politeness' when they
leave the protection Of their home
behind. Our clothes, our speech, our
manners must be at our best for
strangers.
But how about our streets and
public buildings? They are on parade
every day, they are standards by
which our private manners are judg-
ed. They speak to the visitor in
louder tones than the town brass
band, and what do they say? BE
careless, this is the land of the free,
do as you please they say only too
often. And so the parks are Uttered
with paper and banana peels. Halls
of public buildings are often dark
and odorous. The streets cause re-
turned travellers from abroad to ex-
claim, "But, in Europe this wouldn't
be permittd1. In most towns there
the streets are kept as neat as a
pin!"
Annual attempts to improve mat
ters in the name of cleanup weeks
are doing some good. Better yet is
the year-round emphasis on clean
illness and order. In New York this
takes the form of a Committee of
Twenty, under the auspices of the
Academy of Medicine, which thus
puts into practice its belief that
cleanliness and public health are in
timately related.
If the citizens of any community
refuse to tolerate filth and disorder
they need not have it. Children
trained at home and school to habits
of neatness and order, to a cleanly
home and fresh linen, are unlikely to
forget this training when they are
ont on the streets. Cleanliness is a
matter not only of personal comfort
and convenience but Of considera-
tion for others as well. Whether IN
doors or out, it is one trait OF the,
good citizen. That carelessness
which disfgures our public places is
a definite sign that private stand
ards are low. For cleanliness, ike
charity, begins at home.
New Land Policy Proposed
Secretary Wilbur has suggested
the turning over of the surface
rights of the public domain to the
various States provided they will ac-
cept responsibility and enact nee
essary legislation concerning parks,
and conservation of water.
The great problem in conservation is
that of water. The States west Of
the Mississippi must learn to think
in terms of watersheds rather than
homesteads.

blast serves, perhaps, to take the
average observers mind off Of what
