All available collections and bits of modern verse were eagerly read and each student found poems which appealed to him. After much copy ing, discarding and recopying the collections were finished. No two books were quite alike and each surprisingly reflected the person. ality and likes of the owner The most pleasing element of these ac- tiyities is that the interest in mod ern verse did not end with the com pIeion of the anthologists, but is steadily growing.

MEDICAL SCIENCE ACKNOWLEDGES
ITS INDEBTEDNESS TO NONCRELS

CHICAGO, Nov. 4. U.P)-Upon the
shaggy, NANCY back of the mongrel
dog that sinks about the city to
be stoned, cursed and kicked by an
indifferent citizenry, rests the flu
ture of medical science.
Upon this same back rests the
glory for mapy of the achievements
thus far made in medical science.
And also upon this same back
rests the happiness of the nation S
children.
But whether the future of medical
science must be sacrificed for the
happiness of the nations children
well, therein lies a stormy controv-
ersy.
The opening of the current con-
troversy-a city council committee
meeting-brought out the import
ance of the mongrel cur and his
position in modern civilization.
1t came about when someone sus-
pected "joker' in a proposed ordi-
nance that the city dog pound be
placed in charge OF licensed veter-
marian.
Among opponents to the ordinance
was President Robert Maynard

UNCLE WIGGILY'S BRIAR BUSH

The Bob Cat sat on his hind legs
so no one would see his silly little
tail. no bigger than your thumb. In
front of him was the Fox and off
to one side was the Woozie Wolf.
Perched on a stump, where he could
see the other three Bad Chaps, was
the Sly Weasel. Now the Weasel,
though small, is very fierce and
animals much larger than he are
afraid of him, especially rabbits.
"Ha Hal Hal" laughed the Bob
Cat as he sat on his silly little tail
and looked at the Weasel. "Ha!
Hal Hal
AT whom are you laughing
asked the Weasel, dignified like and
grammatical.
AT you'll" mewed the Bob Cat.
"Why?" asked the Weasel, not us
ing any more words than were
needed.
Because you let Uncle Wiggily
fool you and get away from you,
answered the Bob Cat. Didn't he?"
the Bob Cat asked the Fox and
Wolf.

speaking like a dog.

Wolf.

departments gather in spot where
no one would think of looking for

high-priced apartment hotel across
a park from the White House.
Here in the Hay-AdamS house,
unobserved, they swap yarns on
affairs of the day, exchange ideas
on what the government should do,
officially and politically, about
various matters, and in general add
to that unity of action" SO greatly

The New Jersey district went Re-
publican two TO one a year ago.
Should Republicans win it again
they would have 216 seats as against
a Democratic strength of 217. The
Farmer Labor member, Paul j.
Kvale, usually votes with Republi-
cans on organization matters. Should
he do so again, the result would be
a tie. A majority of the votes cast
is sufficient to elect a speaker and
to decide the committee chairman
ships. Illness, or absence from
other causes would be decisive in
such a situation.
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt
won his issue with former Governor
Alfred E. Smith in obtaining ap-
proval for the state constitutional
amendment for a reforestation
plan.
Deny Personal Break
Though Smith denied his opposi-
ton to Roosevelt on this point in
Yolved a personal break, their con-
troversy was watched closely by ma
tional politics of both parties for
its bearing on the prestige of RooSe-
Velt, a leading prospect for the
Democratic presidential nomina-
tiCn Both parties supported the
amendment and Smith fought some
thing of a singlehanded battle.
A voice from the past was heard
again when General Jacob Coxey,
who led a ragged army of unem-
ployed on Washington after the
panic of 1893, apparently was elect
ed mayor of Massillon, o. Now an
elderly businessman, Coxey went
into his campaign with his old time
fervor, campaigning in wagon be-
hind a team of horses.
National issues appeared only cas-
ually in the elections. In New Jer-
sey, two administration spokeSmen,
Secretary of Labor Doak and Wal
ter E. Edge, American ambassador
to France, campaigned for Baird
urging his election to aid President
Hoover.
In the Democratic congressional
victory in Michigan Hart stood as
an anti-prohibitionist while his Re
publican opponent, Foss Eldred,
emphasized other issues.
Governor Roosevelt saw indica-
tions of Democratic strength despite
the failure to win the assembly.
In municipal elections, Frank
Murphy, known as the dole mayor
was reelected mayor of Detroit.
Though the election was non-par-
tisan, Murphy, a Democrat was op-
posed by Harold d. Emmons, a Re
publican.
In Cleveland, leading Democrats
headed by Newton d. Baker, won
fight to overthrow the city man
ager plan which was supported by
Maurice Maschke, Republican ma
tional committeeman and party
leader in Cleveland. Democratic
mayors were elected in Springfield

he growled. There is no hole. but
he fooled me and got away, just as
he did from the Weasel. That rab-

SQUELCHTNG NEEDED

A suggestion comes from reader Of the
A Press, following a recent editorial on
the hltch-hiking which we consider to be
an excellent one, and which we pass on
TO Ell Centrans, particularly garagemen,
with the hope that they will think as
much of it as we do.
Every day scores of transients are car
RED into or out of the valley by valley
motorists who, perhaps, do not like to
turn down those who ask them for rides.
The motorists fail to recall the fate of
Leslie Nichols who picked up two hitch
mixers near inland few years ago and
paid for it with his life, and they over
look the frequent appearance in news
papers of reports on crimes committed
by hltch-hikerS. 1t is almost inconceiv-
able to think of any motorist picking up
stranger if he recalled these things.
Our reader friend suggests that local
garage and service station owners dis
tribute stickers to their patrons with the
notation mo Hitch-Hikers" placed on
them. These could be pasted on wind
shields where they would not obscure
vision of the driver and would serve to
ward off the pests who annoy all who
drive cars.
by every valley car, the hitch hiking nui-
sance would soon be discouraged here.
The practice might be adopted by other
parts of the state and who knows but
that it might spread all over the nation.
The hitch-hiker is not only nuisance,
he is positively dangerous element who
needs squelching and needs it promptly.
His number is increasing each year and
unless prompt steps are taken in the
squelching, driving is going to be par
ticularly disagreeable experience for
most of us.
Garage and service station men, who
stress the service" part of their business,
in our opinion, would be doing real
service to their patrons and to the COM
munity by adopting the suggestion.
One thing good will result from this

But surely, General, you don't

DEMOCRATS STRONGER

CAPTURING control of the house of
u representatives in yesterdays off
election, indicates a hard battle in the
presidential campaign next year.
Particularly important, from the Re
publican as well as Democratic view
points, are the Democratic victories in
the Eighth Michigan district and in elect
ing a governor in New Jersey. They
show an increased strength in Democratic
ranks that must be recognized in G. o.
2. circles.
Control of the house of representatives
by the Democrats mean a Democratic
speaker and a general realignment of
committees that will put Dmeocratic
chairmen in all the various committees.
With congressional control divided be-
tween the Republicans in the senate and
the Democrats in the house, the admins
tration will undoubtedly find the going
a bit heavier than usual in the next con-
gresS.
From the Republican viewpoint, yes
terday's results should not cause undue
alarm On the contrary, it should spur
Republican leaders to realization that
1882 is not going to given them any
walkaway.
With a years warning, as it were, much
can be done to repair breaks in the po-
litical fence and bring the party to the
point where it will present united front
in the coming campaign. The party must
face facts as they are and not as it would
wish them to be. The most outstanding
fact just now is the increase in Demo-
cratic strength which must be recog-
nized as vital threat to Republican su-
premacy.
