GOOD
MORNING
A o POEM OF SPRING

A PROSE POEM OF SPRING
Some day we may no more feel the
beauty Of the springtime. Some
day we may no longer thrill to
the caressing touch of the soft
winds.
Some day our steps may lag, not
quicken, treading over new
spring grass. Some day our eyes
may be too dim to see the dog
wood and the violets-Some day
we may be old.
But today today! - the b~lue-gray
skies, the blossom-crowned hill,
the varying tints of green, the
glorious newnes of the light,
hold the years at bay and in this
Mays Towering loneliness, youth
is with us still.
"Ha, ha," roared Alkali Joe. Last
night l saw you making love tt your
wife. Why didn't you pull down the
blinds?"
"Haw, haw yourself" snorted Lefty
Lew. II wasn't even home last night"
Boys" said Mrs. Newlywed, II
have a wonderful home, good job,
and the finest wife in the country"
"You wouldn't be happy if your
wife wasn't in the country" said a
henpecked looking individual.

PUBLIC HEALTH
IMPROVING

The nation has never been so
prosperous so far as health is
concerned. Surgeon General Hugh
S. Cumming, of the Public Health
Service, points out in a letter to
President Hoover.
The death rate for 1881, ac-
cording to mortality reports, was
III per 1000 as compared With
11.9 in 1880.
The apparent growth in sick
ness due to the largely increased
call upon free dispensary and
hospital services, according to
Cumming is offset by a falling
off in the practice of private ply
sicians all over the country.

One of the pet members of the
kennels is Patsy" an English bull
dog. She is registered under the
name of Wadecroft Patricia, and
is one of a number of English
bull dogs owned in partnership by
Miss Vance and Leo Mcnamara,
4349 Washington boulevard.
Patsy is brindle, who, accord
ing to Miss Vance, has all of the
attributes to make her a cham
pion. She has been shown in sew
eral shows, and has come out with
"colors flying"-literally, for she
is the winner of several blue rib
. bons.
Patsy's friendliness is even more
marked than that of most English
bull dogs. She greets visitors
with much snorting and wiggling,
and extends a heavy, cumbersome
paw for a ''handshake" at the
first friendly glance.
"ENGL bull dogs possibly
H are the biggest bluff there
is" Miss Vance says. Their fun
ny, forbidding faces are just
fakes; really they are the most
gentle and lovable of animals.
They primarily are comedians.
From their walk, which is really
the roll of the proverbial drunken
sailor, on, they probably are the
funniest of dogs.
Their curiosity is unlimited.
Patsy has favorite chair in
