VNYHAT is SO rare as q day in June? Well
w may the poet ask this aged-old query, for
the magic and the glory Of June seem to
increase with the years. Sunshine, roses, love,
romance of these are part Of the magic Of this
magical month. Age also finds its renaissance in
June, il is a month of dreams, of reveries, a month
Of days bejeweled with magic to be strung on the
golden thread of memory. "A month of brides, OF
gallant youths and glamorous maidens starting
out hand-in-hand for the great adventure Of life
together. June-the month Of vows made and
re-made, vows Of tender affection and true
loves, vows of mutual understanding and trust
regardless of what life may have in store. June
the month Of roses, those mute messengers Of
love who need no words to speak to the heart.
Is it any wonder then, that June has ever been
the inspiration Of poetry OF love and romance?
OF course, all Of the thirty days Of June are

Boston Shows Slow Growth

A preliminary announcement from census head
quarters set Boston's 1880 population at IT'S, 729. It
was emphasized that revised figures. to be given out
next week, would set the population at over 100000.
This is a gain OF 27.669 over the 1920 figure. Out
lying districts. which are a part Of metropolitan Bos-
ton, gained $4,000 in population since 1920 and most
OF this was due to Boston residents moving into the
suburbs.
Concrete highways, high powered autos. low taxes.
healthy e%nvirons, excellent schools and Fairgrounds
are calling those who are able 70 make a getaway to
the suburbs Of American cities. Dallas knows all
about it. Fort Worth has been given a touch Of it
and Houston and San Antonio realized it more than
o year ago when they expanded their limits.
