Coming home at midnight from
a Greenwich Village prowl,
Dark streets are like faces
when you catch them off
their guard.
Crowds were here in daytime,
and booming show,
And lights were strung, last
evening like Texas Guinan's
jewels.
But getting on toward morn
ing the mask is laid aside.
Here's an empty face now
scared and SCARED and sad.
Windows staring blankly, like
discouraged eyes.
Echoes, like sad memories, tap
pink down the wind.
And garbage clutching at your
feet like successful sin.
Grim places, cities, when the
day is gone.
Grim as tired people when
their dreams are done.
Coming up Fifth Avenue
wished I were at home.
Then, rounding into Madison.
I came upon a light.
Leafless trees were dropping, in
the stagnant air.
Empty benches near 1t, sag
sing with despair.
But, bright against the dark
ness, there shone a lovely
star.
Night and day it burns there,
for those who died in war.

Listen World
By Elsie Robinson

For Youth that went so gaily.
SO CALAMITY to war
For Youth that, through all
the darkness. shines hopeful
as a star
Dreary things, cities, when
the day has flown,
Tragic things, people when
their dreams have gone
Is life just an empty street
when the show is done2
No-there's something burning
through the city'S night.
And there's something shining
in spite Of pain and fright.
Youth is like a bright star set
in a dark square,
Near our black, blind alleys
and benches Of despair.
Youth is like a white star that
shall never dim,
Shining through our loneliness,
our ignorance and sin.
Youth is set as symbol Of
dreams that cannot die.
OF bravery unvanquiShed, of
courage held high
Blind may be the alleys.
And the sky so far.
But Youth shines through the
darkness,
Like a brave, new star.
All our dreams may Shatter-
Our poor pride go wrong,
But Youth shines there, sign
for us

The public is not yet fully
aware of the revolutionary char
acter of the recent Antarctic
explorations conducted by Ad-
miral Byrd and party.
Compare the old, painful, Ia
borious slogging over frozen
plains, bleak mountains and
ice barriers with glorious air
plane flights!
Compare the painstaking sur
veys, under extreme difficult
ties and without fully salts
factory results, with obServa-
tions of thousands Of square
miles viewed from the lofty
attitudes of the airplane cock
pit!
Compare the imperfect and
not entirely accurate maps,
made by triangulation over ice
locked regions, with the new
maps, photographs made from
a plane and scientifically unit
ed, to make one huge and alb
soiutely accurate chart of i'm
mense areas!
These are some Of the re-
markable contributions and ac-
compliShments of the Byrd
Antarctic Expedition.
Think of the immensity OF
the area surveyed - 10000
square miles. Nor does this fully
take account of all the territory
seen, for the camera was not
used on all the eastern flights
of last year. It is confidently
believed that this is far greater
territory than was ever sur
veyed or even discovered hither-
to by any one expedition.
The reason for the suprem-
acy of the Byrd Antarctic Ex-
pedition in this respect is the
use of the airplane, which has
demonstrated its exceptional ef-
ficiency for work of this sort.
On his short exn'o~atory flight
last year Byrd glimpsed much
territory never hitherto pene-
trated by man. A more serious

and extended exploration was
his attempted flight to the
northeast: but unfortunately the
low clouds barred his passage.
So he turned south, and soon
encountered a new mountain
range which began about so
miles south Of the Nunataks.
This is the range known as the
Rockefeller Range.
A third attempted flight to
the northeast was unsuccessful:
but a second flight to the south
revealed q mountain beyond
and to the east of the Rookie
feller Range, and other signs
of land, to which Byrd gave
the name Marie Byrd Land.
Byrd expected to be able to con-
firm AmundSen's statement of
having viewed what appeared to
be land at about 90 degrees
south.
These flights were followed
up by the surveying parties.
The Rockefeller Range of
mountains was mapped; and
somewhat later a small party
under DR.. Gould made geologi-
cal explorations of these noun
tains and secured q number
of specimens.
This party was stranded; and
as the result Of the wreck of
their Fokker plane Admiral
Byrd went to their rescue and,
after a dangerous flight, sue
ceeded in bringing them in.
These flights were bristling
with surprises, with disappoint-
ments and hopes realized. A
flight which promised richly
would prove wholly barren Of
result. A flight from which
little hope Of important dis
covery was expected would re-
suit in important findings.

Secrets of Health
BY DIR. Louis E. Bisch-

Snobbishness and cruelty are
not confined merely to a few
adults.
Both these traits are rather
common in children.
Children love to lord it over
others in play. Their egos are
developing and they do not
hesitate to display that fact.
Children like to behave in an
exalted way.
They are boastful and show
conceit.
A rich child frequently does
not hesitate to inform a poorer
one of his many toys, his faith
er's automobile.
Children ON It ime S even
laugh at physical deformity.
They do not realize how it
hurts, but that does not dimin-
ish the telling effects of their
words.
Many a little boy and little
girl has been wounded to sthe
quick by teasing, the calling of
names and all sorts of childish
pranks that inflict mental in
jury.
One reason may be found in
the fact that children are apt
to be spoiled at home. The
other is that altogether too fire.
quently children hear their own
parents make derogatory and
Snobbish remarks about friends
and neighbors, and the little
ones as we'll as the older ones
promptly convey similar senti-
rnents to their playmates.
Children are very outspoken
and straightforward by nature,
and they say things without the
least consideration for the feel
ings Of others.
Often the very truthfulness
of children amounts to cruelty.
They lack the finesse and tact
that go with refined social re-
lationships.
The matter of dress, especial
~ among girls, is another that
The Washington times., 1930-04-26

lends itself readily to Snobbish
manners.
We like to see our children
well dressed, of course. But we
must be careful about praising
them too much if they look at
tractive, for in this way we
may build conceit in child.
Even an otherwise lovable
child becomes offensive when it
shows conceit.
Parents must remember that
the possibilities Of snobbishness
are ever-preSent in childhood
and unless they watch children
for this handicapping trait they
will be Stunned and deSpised
when they grow up.
If the child continues to be
snobbish the fault must be
charged to the parents.
Children are largely what we
make them.
It is the influence of the par
entS on their young, immature
and developing minds that is
the most telling and lasting.
Any specialist in nervous dis
orders can attest to the fact
that the cruel behavior so often
seen among children has fire.
quently laid the foundation for
nervous disorders later on in
life.
Feelings of inferiority have re-
peatedly started that way.
Many an adult man and wo-
man can trace to childhood days
his first reSentmentS which
made Of him finally a pessimist
and a cynic.
Be careful what you let your
children hear.
Watch how they treat their
playmateS.
Snobbishness and cruelty are
natural growthS in the garden
of childhood, but try by every
means to weed them out as fast
as they appear.
Children are charming when
they show sweet simplicity.

It may give a woman a mo-

Who Killed Those 3l7 Men?
The Hard Boiled Attitude Toward Crime LawBreakers
And Prisons Caused the Ohio Prison Tragedy

Why were those BIT men death in their cells in
the Ohio penitentary?
Because of the stupid attitude Of fanatics and deagogus
toward crime and law-breakers and prisons
Warden Thomas blamed because he gave too little atten
ton safeguarding the prisoners against death by fire.
John Hail. captain of the guards is blamed because he
yelled Don't open that door" when Guard WatkinsOn
Obeyed his decent impulses and began to unlock the cells
Guard Watnson himself blamed because he obeyed that
order Of his superior.
Upon officers the prison being laid all the burden OF
responsibility for letting BIT burn to death because they
afraid the convcts would released from their
cells
the heavy responsibility lies not them It rests on
all the people in this country who believe that the way to
reduce crime is and convict and lock and disgrace
and deprive of all hope every who breaks any law
regardless of the trivalty of the offense.
Policemen district attorneys judges wardens and guards
do what the hardheared want them to do They tell our
policemen they must make arrests district attorneys they
long record Of convictions judges they must
be stern and merces wardens and guards they must
never let a man escape They say to all of them
Whatever happens don't let anybody out-or we'll
make you sorry for your careessness!'
They say boys and young who have made mistakes
'You are bad You are hopeless! You beast! You
are incorrigibe criminal. You do not belong in the
society of decent You have declared us and
declare you'll
Of they do not those exact words No individual
says them who go prison But they express the
spirit and the attitude OF the cruel public opinion toward our
prisoners.
The warden of the Ohio penitentary knew that He knew
if given orders for the unlocking of the cells in
fire and half those in his escaped he would
be punished his "maudn sentimentality So he and
his subordnate crushed their instincts and S17 died
horribly choking in their cells screaming above the hell

And the guilty those who cry out forever for

jammed into jails and more prisons and more dull
stupid futile cruel punishment instead of prevention Of
crime
Our and prisons crowded because we make laws
obey because allow children to live under con-
dons that drive into awbrakng, because unagna

and because enough people in this country have ever

There, but for the grace of God, goes IT.
