To-day's Selected Poem,
APRIL

APRIL (Jennett Spencer in the Christian Science
 Monitor) Aprirs like little girl~ Ten years old; Her eyes are blue Her flying hair Shines like gold. On her tripping, skipping feet. As raindrops light, She splashes through the tiny pools - Clear and bright. Her little face smiles up At everyone, As pink satin tulips
 Smile at the sun. An. happy little April girl With gay umbrella, How you must delight to be Springs playfellow!

Merritt Highway in this state. involving as many millions as it will is mere drop in the bueket as regards jobs for the unem- ployed. The number of men such pro- jeet would employ and we mean men not employed now is negligible. when compared to the grand total of unemployed. We think that federal projects should be encouraged. but we should not expect them to end the depression.

EXPERIMENTAL MATERIAL RELUCTANT
 Tn SERVE

So far only four of the thousand strong healthy persons I called upon to volunteer to serve as material for experiments to settle the rabies controversy have registered. My pro- posal was that a thousand men who heavily in debt to society voluntarily expose themselves to choice collection of rabid dogs. within some suitable enclosure where the dogs and men might mingle without restraint, while and a number of other observers remain in a safe place just outside the fence, ready to administer proper first aid to any subject who might collect bit or even scratch-that is, swabbing of the wound with iodin and per per, to prevent tetanus (lockjaw). sincerely be- lieve the momentary indignation and annoy ance of the man so bitten would be the extent of his sufferings even If the dog inf1icting the wound were obviously ill of rabies. But of course this is merely my opinion. Until some such actual experiment. Is made. on human disease rabies ("hydrophoba'O in man must remain one of opinion.
 Of course my opinion is as likely to be wrong as it is to be right. I think most good physi- clans hold the opinion that rabies does some times occur in man. I have never known physician who has seen very positive case in man.
 Now and then cases of human rabies are reported in current medical literature. Even the reports as published are unconvincing. Be- sides, they generally mention that physicians in attendance on the patients arc divided in opinion, some regarding the illness as rabies, others as stoutly maintaining it was of differ ent nature. Where there is so much smoke there is likely to be little fire.
 It should be easy enough to find thousand healthy men in any large prison for such an experiment. Mind, do not advocate any com pulsory service to science and to humanity on the part of cpnvicts suggest merely that it would be for the good of their souls to give them the opportunity to repay part of the debt they owe society in that way. Just to show that my intention is honest I'd gladly go into the corral with the dogs and the first squad of men. Somehow I don't suffer from fear of dogs, mad otherwise, though I am much like Tony the Wirsh Terror about being hurt II begin hollering BEFORE l get hurt It seems that the more think I'm going to get hurt the louder and the earlier I yell, because I think the earlier and the louder yell the less I'll get hurt. This is only of the tricks the dog has taught me.
 Whether the human rabies question is ever settled or not, I am content to swab any dog bite I sustain, with common tncture of iodn and then treat 1t as would any similar wound Whether to have prophylactic injection of anti-tetanus serum is a question to leave to the judgment of your physician. It depends on the environment and the nature of the wound

WaShlngtOn-ALte SeelHS d pic- ture of Bishop Cannon leaning a. against bar with his foot on the brass rail. nothing could have kept me away from the Prohibit ton Fair.
 No such thought stimulated a rush by the rest of the capital s populace, however, and it may be that so many things have been heard about Bishop Cannon in the last few years that a mere brass rail act is not calculated to excite general interest.
 Anyway, the famous Virginia dry leader was only performing at a preview for photographers, so those few of us who were thus lured simply got fooled.
 TOO EARLY TO FELL
 It is early to predict whether that Prohibition Fair marked a turning point against the wet tide which has been rising so menac- ingly of late or whether it was merely a last despairing gesture of propaganda before the dry move ment collapses into utter import ence.
 Nevertheless, it left something to be desired from the standpoints of authenticity and effectiveness. The nights to be seen may have satis- fled the dry ladies, but the lovely, ethereal Mrs Pauline Sabin's wicked wealthy wet women" who were here the week before and can tell one cocktail from another, know better.
 The Prohibition Fair was spon- scored by the National Woman's Committee for Law Enforcement, which insists on meeting in Wash ington every year. presumably in tre vague hope of getting some one here interested in the matter of law enforcement.
 These ladies are the nice, kind ly, making type which all men like, whereas Mrs Sabin's "W w., WIS" are the nice, snappy, dressy, often handsome, sophisti- cated type which all men like. THOSE COCKTAIL PARTIES
 The dry ladies' conception of the "W. w. W.'s was evidenced in succession of roughtly painted murals lining what they called "The Lawless Lane of Liquor" After passing a picture of huge still in operation and another of Coast Quart boat bombarding a defenseless rum boat in the full glare of its searchlight 30 feet a. head. you followed the likker into a picture called "Women's Cock tail Parties"
 There sat five women in evening dress smoking cigarets and drink ing highballs. A maid was bring ingw five cocktails on tray. One of the ladies had dropped a shoulder strap-shame on her!- and the artist had placed in the eyes of each a strange look of ec- stacy hard to describe.
 Mrs Sabin doubtless would he furious at the charge that any of her wicked. wealthq, wet wom- en" ever served cocktails on top of highball, but such evidences of regeneracy seemed natural enough to the dry ladies'.
 The artist also tried to make them believe that a Mems High ball Party finds the. men playing cards with two or three bottles on the floor beside each chair.
 '. tt POOR STRATEGY?
 Continuing in the role of art critic. one suggests/that the imita- tion saloon-where Bishop Cannon posed-might have looked like a horrible example to drys. but would certainly inspire any prac- ticing wet to redouble his hollers for repeal.
 The bar was stocked with fam cy bcttles-Seagram's, Old Barbee.

 O-O-o IN MEMORY
"A sMILE's THE THING. ],

Just a trip down Memory lane.
 To the door of yesterday. A knock. it opens unto us,
 We enter its wide way. And there along the wall of years.
 Hang pictures that we knew, When life was. just holiday.
 With skies of azure blue. The nursery, with heaped up toys,
 That we knew as child. A teddy bear, rabbit skin,
 A pelt that once ran wild. A rattle made of celluloid.
 Another with its chime, That played in life's big yesterday.
 While baby feet kept time. The swimming hole, the class day
 print.
 The girl we once thought sweet, She lived in that big yellow house,
 A block on down the street, wonder where she is today,
 But ah, it's time, 1 know, To turn the lock in. Memory lane
 That holds the long ago. GOO -

GEORGE WHITES PROPOSALS
TO AID OHIO FARMERS

Three important steps to benefit
the overburdened Ohio farmers are
being pushed to completion by state
officials. One of these Is the pro-
posal initiated recently by Governor
George White to bring about an ad-
justment of prices paid for dairy
products so the farmer may receive
an adequate return, and the con-
sumer may not be gouged through
the operation of too wide a spread
between farm and city prices. An
other is the matter Of relieving
farmers of pending assessments i'm
posed upon them for highways
built in the past. A committee is
already at work devising means Of
cancelling highway assessments
against abutting property and de.
termining whether the state may
go farther toward absorbing the
costs already borne by such prop
erty. A third measure recently an
nounced by the governor is that
which aims to prevent loss of farm
