To-day's Selected Poem

BEES (Robert P. Tristram Coffin in the New York
 Times) Bees more than lords of sweet. The yare phials of white heat, And the pent-up fire sings Around their abdomens in rings. Straight as sunbcams in desire They travel on small wings of fire: Sparks of sunlight. armed with power. Shooting hot from flower to flower. It is no wonder that they go Homeward when the sun is low: They are fearful for their light Tn the vast and dewy night You can hear them going past, Anxious not 10 be the last Little viceroys of the sun, With their fruit creation done.

RESISTANCE IS JUST TOO BAD

Gratitude. said some who did not make Bartlett is a lively anticipation of favors ye to come.
 Resistance is something to regret the pooi chap did not have.
 An announcement in the official organ of the American Medical association--of which I'm a jolly good Fellow. you know, well as a thorn in the ficsh-warned all our dumb docs last February that 'the hazards of exposure of stuffy indoor living at this time of year make it especially important to keep general resis- tance built up.'
 The same week the following warning was broadcast through the daily papers of the country:
 Watch out for drafts wet feet. raw
 winds stufy rooms, of course, but don't
 depend entirely outer precautions
 Build up your inner resources Increase
 your general resistance"
 In both instances the implication was that all you had to do was take cod liver oil con- centrate which was provided in convenient form.
 No harm in that Nor nave any objection to the exploitation of popular creduty by the manufacturer of the high class nostrum. Only l do think we snooty members or fellows of the American Medical association play sorry role in the game. It looks to me though the big nostrum maker first hands us q snug sum for permitting him to publish his an- nouncement in official paper-of course carefully edited so 1t won't sound too absurd. Then he can turn to the lay press with the as- surance in the world. for does he not come practically bearing the indorsement of the en- tire medical profession of the country?
 Here 1t Is proper to assert once more--and doubt that any officer member of the Amer ican Medical association will attempt to refute the assertion-that there is 10 scientific foun- dation for the notion that any one can have general resstance" which protects against all or against many diseases respiratory or other wise. further assert that any physician who undertakes to build up resistance" is merely marking time with impressive language.
 Immunity is q well established scientific fact.
 We have some evidence for he belief that cod liver oil may aid in the development of the fullest degree of immunity against the cri, due to the richness of cod liver oil In Vitamin A-or haibut liver oil or any other fish liver oil. The ultraviolet rays of sunlight or any artificial light that contains ultraviolet rays probably aids the normal development of im- munity against upper respiratory infections and sinus infections. Besides the fish liver oils Vitamn is present in yolk of egg in raw fresh milk and cream and butter (not pasteurized), in orange, riIe banana. sweet po- tato, yellow corn. pineapple. yellow turnip, carrot parsnips liver, kidney. sweetbreads most of the green leafy relishes and raw salad vegetables
 But tt is utterly ridiculous for physicians to even seem to acquesce in the isugg gestion tha : drafts wet feet. raw winds. stuffy indoor living or other similar hazards of exposure" have anything to do with disease, even if we do make good money by giving the idea our sane tion.

It seems like wanton destruction but over in Holland it's called good business. Just as Brazilans destroyed tons of coffe to raise the price. so Hollanders are destroying millions of flower bulbs since they claim the market is surfeited at the moment and as a resul. the bulb raising business is fiat. We hope that this is the right method. but we can never gc; rid of the idea that waste and no matter how you spell it it's always with the same mean ing. is not the best policy.

London Letter
BY FREDERICK KUH
United Press Stan Correspondent


 London-(UP)--Eew if any Lon doners realize that there Is q con cern in their midst which enjoys shoting rights on Regent street, the city's fashionable shopping district. Far from being racketeers, gunmen or gangsters, the owners of the shooting privilege are pro- prietors of the oldest, most repu- table wine and liquor firm in the Kingdom, and the shooting rights to which they are nominally en- titled, not being those which boot leggers arrogate to themselves, ac- tually pertain to game birds, which abounded in the neighbor- hood when Regent street was q meadow, mill, water-oncduit and balmy fields.
 Lease Gave Hunting Rights
 The original lease for the prop erty on which Hedges and Butler. wine merchants. are now situated at 153 Regent street, sternly warned the tenants that they may not shoot snipe or wild duck on the estate on Sundays. On week. days, of course, the leasee re- mained at liberty to go gunning on what Is now Regent street and Piccadilly Circus.
 Founded in 1867, the firm oi Hedges and Butler had been in business on the strand. London for 152 years when Regent street was completed and they estab. lished themselves there in 1919.
 Yes" the firms managing director, Col. H. Iltid Nichoil somewhat shamefacediy admitted to the United Press correspondent we've been situated here for only IA years"

believe public opinion will support the chief executive in his view that 1t should be regarded as state rather than a Fairfield county un- dertaking and therefore not requir- ing legislative authorization.
 We have to confess that we are something less than completely enamourcd of the idea ofNast pulp lie expenditures when times are so hard. It Is true, of course, that when hundreds of millions are to be spent Connecticut might as well take steps to see that fair share is spent here.
 But there Is no such thing as something for nothing, even in public works for the relief of un- Employment. There is some ground for fear that the load on the tax payers and the burden of debt comprise dangers that offset the relief possibilities. And we have no Idea that Connecticut can rush into an orgy of public spending, even with the assistance of the fed- eral government, and escape all re- grets for It..

Price Check Needed
 The new economic system with It's price-fixing features and its ap- parent monopolistic tendencies produces situation in which the only automatic check on pices will be recurring business depressions. Ogburn says. Hence there must be statistices which will index prices and purchasing power, 50 that the two may balance. The lack of such balance has given MIRA more night mares thah any other single factor.
 The consumers complaints should bt competently studied, Og- burn says, and the whole MIRA staff, should be impressed by the need of giving some attention to the consumers interests.
 Ogburn, 47, has taught econom- les and sociology at Princeton, Co., lumbia and Chicago Universities. He has been president of both the American Sociological Society and the American Statistical Associa- ton. He was with the War La Dor Board, conducting hearings on strike situations and then ;becom- ing its statistical economic expert after an elaborate cost of, living study. He directed Hoover's Com mittee on Social Trends, supervis-. ing it's monumental report.

Transfer Ordered
 Ogburn has first been ordered transferred to another agency, but his prestige was 50 great that his professional brethren raised q howl. Both Secretary of Commerce Roper and Administrator Johnson, heads of MIRA, quickly called him in and told him to stay, that things would be fixed up."
 But Ogburn had program for protecting consumers in the period of price increases; he wanted 127,- 000,O00 consumers to know what was happening to them. He had been working this out with his staff without any help or hindrance from Mrs. Mary Rumsey. chairman of c. A. B. and a millionairess, until one day he took a tip to Chicago. Mrs. Rumsey, in his ab- sence and fer reasons unknown, persuaded Johnson to have Ogburn transferred to the governments new Central Statistical Board.

NEW GOODRICH
LOW PRESSURE
TIRE FEATURED

Riding in an automobile equip
ped with the new Flying Silver
towns" B. F.. Goodrich company
tires designed to carry only Is
pounds Of air, is actually compar-
able to riding in an airplane, for
some Of the thrill of smooth flying
is brought to earth, according to
Maurice Graves, B. F.. Goodrich
pany dealer at Safety Corner
service station.
THE remarkablet new Goodrich
low pressure tires float your car
on a cushion of air." Graves ex-
planned. These tires have many
of the characteristics of Goodrich
airplane tires. Approximately 55
per cent of all commercial air
planes in the United States take
off and land on Goodrich tires.
These tires possess the same
tread as that used on the famous
Goodrich Safety Silvertown, which
we believe is the safest tire ever
built. A motorist with these new
flying Silvertowns on his car can
travel over slippery ROADS ana come
to a stop with scarcely a side slip
or skid, almost on a dime as the
saying goes.
Rough and rutted roads that
once necessitated a Is mile speed
limit with ordinary type tires can
be covered quickly and easily when
your car is fitted with the new
Flying Silvertowns. They virtually
level out the road before you.
Not only are these advantages
in driving present in the new tires
but they harmonize with the trim
symmetry of the new light cars,
adding an air of distinction that
blends with the trend of the times.
"Changeovers from present equip
ment to the new Flying Silver
towns is an easy matter" Graves
said.
