SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

The Dream Songs.
Poor child-to me it very clearly seems
That it is living in "a world of dreams, "
Apart from Earth such as all human
kind
In struggling with life's dull routine
must find.
To such fixations it. see, will add
A love Of simple music, good or bad,
Which prompts the repetition of some
phrase
And, plainly. "echolalia" displays.
Sadly turned to seek surcease of care
And heard the babbling music in the
air.
The singers all announced-some were
admired
To live in Dreams was all that they
desired!
And memory caught the words, echoing
the sound
Until half meaning phrases would
abound
I thought that Dreams were only child
hoods right
That brought escape from care by
fancy's fight.
When jazz imaginings thus leave us sad
I'm asking, does this world risk going
mad?

Later in the day the Alas ka Transfer corrals were tn mag net which drew dozens who watch ed the animals caper and snort, doing their daily dozen after their long confinement aboard ship.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-02

The state health department is nothing if not consistent. For years it maintained through its monthly health bulletin that the population of Waterbury was over 100000. When other state departments were scoffing at our claims this department was credting us with 100000 population. The last figures printed were l0l.366. They are in the very latest publication which only goes to prove that. though the federal census bureau may say we are not 100000 strong in Waterbury. the health board will stoutly maintain it. That ought to buoy up Andy Cooney considerably. His records as he submitted them to Washington left him confident that this city would show a population beyond the 100000 mark. Not much, but enough for Waterbury to be ranked in the 100000 class. The federal announcement that we just missed the high water mark was dis couraging to say the least, but we are en- heartened by the thought that ten years isn't a long time to wait in these rapid moving days

Less War Talk

One of Americas Nobel prize winners came straight home. Frank E. Kellogg. win ner of the peace prize, arrived in time for Christmas at his home in St Paul. He came with what might be called Christmas mes- sage to his fellow citizens
 The responsible statesmen of Europe, he said, are not talking of settling their problems by war. Of course, nobody is go- ing to say there will never be another war But there never has been time when states men of Europe have taken SO many steps to prevent war. They are using pacific means to adjust their controversies.
 It is foolish to be blindy sentimental about peace, saying war is unthinkable, and so on. But peace on earth is so tremendous a human need that responsible statesmen and thoughtful citizens alike should cherish and cultivate the idea, and should take steps as steadily and rapidly as possible to eliminate war causes.
 Many human dreams in the past which seemed impossible of achievement have ulti- mately succeeded. Why not this dream of peaoe'

A National Faith

Russia is said now to be "a Goddess land. and perhaps it is. Millions still attend the Greek Orthodox Churches especially outside of the big cities. But generally speaking, there is indifference toward the Christian re- igon The government diseourages it and the masses acquiesce.
 Yet Russia is flaming with religious zeal Communism itself has become a religion. Dr T. S. McWilliams. professor of religious cd ucation in Western Reserve University testi fies that the Communist party is sort of na tional church.
 To join the party he says. one must prove that one has almost fanatcal devotion to the cause. One must pledge absolute obe- dence. If Communist in Moscow is sud- denly ordered to go to Siberia or Turkestan, or indeed anywhere else on the face of the earth, to carry out some mission for the party. he must go and go at once without asking any questions.
 Periodically, too, there is systematic sitting out of the backsliders the Communists whose enthusiasm has weakened. Whenever the party officials find any member with in- dvduastic tendencies a man, perhaps, who has amassed bit of private property they throw him out of the party"
 Don't these details suggest the drastic sift- ing once practiced by Christianity
 The thought that fingers in ones mind, however. is this: Isn't religious spirit of devotion, a self-sacrificing faith in something essential to the success of any cause? If the Russians are to put over what seems to us an insane attempt to revolutonize society, they will do it because they believe in it so implicitly, and sacrifice their personal incna tions to the common purpose.
 Would we in this rather snug and com fortable country do as much for anything but personal gain? Could We rise to the pitch of spirit expressed by Tennyson: We have felt. We have hearts in cause. We are noble stil!'

DAILY WASHINGTON LETTEI

insisted that his anti-Norris cam paign was entirely his own personal idea, no one on earth would have imagined that it wasn't inspired or at least approved-by the White House. Even if the Lucas state ment is accepted, President Hoover must choose between Lucas and the republican progressives. Lucas may stay on while, but hardly anyone sees how he can be helpful in 1932 when MT Hoover seeks support from insurgent senators and their consti- tuents.
 Norris, meanwhile, sits pretty. To those who admire him he is more than ever hero. Also, he is in the senate for six more years and more sour on the administration than ever. Lucas, amazingly enough, says he wants Norris read out of the. party and wants Norris to vote with the democrats to organize the next senate, which now has a repub- lican paper majority of one. Lucas apparent willingness to turn the sen- ate and all it's committees over to the democrats makes his position about 10 times as peculiar as it was before he began to talk.

Highway Shade Trees

The movement toward making highways beautiful as well as smooth and well graded has been g ven new impetus by the decision of the federal bureau of public roads to assist in the work. Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the bureau, says federal funds will be avail able hereafter for planting shade trees along routes of the federal-aid system. Many states have already embarked upon highway Identification. Massachusetts has been at the task ten years and has done excellent work in setting out and preserving native trees, shrubs and flowers along state roads, Various states not only plant trees and shrubs, but pay spe- cial attention to what North Carolina calls the billboard rash. Pennsylvania has a semi annual cleanup for the express purpose of re- moving unauthorized signs along highways On one occasion last year 25,000 such boards were removed, to the great improvement ot the landscape.
 Oregon has done the fine thing of pro- tecting natural springs along highways in fountains made of native materials. A few states, naturally endowed with comparatively dreds of miles of highway.
 It IS well that this movement is gaining in public support and favor For too long a time 1t has been the unwise custom to cut down trees and give bboards full reign in- stead of scenery There IS no reason why we should not have network of highways all across the country as beautiful as they are bcrviceabe.
