To-day's Selected Poem
MY STAR

MY STAR All that know Of a certain star Is, it can throw (Like the angled spar) Now dart of red, Now dart of blue: Till my friends have said They would fain see, too, My star that dartles the red and the blue, Then it stops like bird; like flower. hangs furled: They must solace themselves with the Saturn
 above it. What matter to me If their star is a world? Mine has opened it's soul to me; therefore 1
 love it.

In legislative channels at Hartford the story IS around that there will be no changes made in the mortgage laws at this session.

 The administration theory is that the supreme court will keep hands off and that the beer act can't be declared unconstitutional. There doesn't seem to be any way anyone can take any criminal action against any brewer or vendor who operates under proper permits, since there is no longer any federal penalty for beer of less than 3.2 per cent alcohol by weight.

Postmaster General Farley is expected to ask Congress to restore the 2-eent rate on first class postage very shortly. Although the Scent rate has not been in effect a year yet it has not lived up to advance predie- tions. It has failed to cover the postal deficit. That means the problem must be attacked from another angle in which 2- cent first class rate will be one of the major blanks.

kAa&HRh7|blAlaD
By HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, May II. In pre-
paration for the defense of his
American and British and open
golf championships, and for the
honor and glory of the Miami Bilt-
more hotel, Gene Sarazen is touring
these United States by automobile.
Neither the automobile nor his
travelling companion is ordinary.
The latter is Mr.. Joe Kirkwood, the
eminent trick shot artist-man
who sold his chances of becoming
a great golfer for the ability to
drive ball off watch crystal, a
caddy's noodle; to hook a palm
tree and make. putt hop, skip
and jump enroute to the cup.
The automobile defies descrip-
ton. 1t is an Aerocar and belongs
to Henry L. Doherty, the man who
spent more money in Florida this
past winter than circus pony
could jomp over in three tries. It
is called an aerocar because Mr..
Doherty saw fit to equip it with
every instrument an airplane car
rieS. It's dashboard boasts a drift
indicator, wind indicator, artificial
horizon and all the other doodadS
of a plane. They don't mean any
thing but they look nice.
But its the body of the car that
had crowd of two or three hund-
red rubber-necking on Lexington
avenue yesterday. There are four
pullman berths, a complete kitchen,
shower bath, library, two dicto-
phones, three typewriters, half
dozen radios, a chemistry labora-
tory, and sun-parlor.
Sarazen and Kirkwood, who al
ready have travelled some 5000
miles in the machine, are so fetch
ed with it that they will take it
to England when Gene goes over to
defend his British open title.
"I am looking to rolling out to
st. Andrews in that bus" Sarazen
said. I'm going to park it by the
18th green and if it doesn't create
a sensation, then I'm Ella Boole.
(He didn't say Ella Boole, but we
guess one names as good as ano-
ther. If you don't like our selection,
wire him.
Sarazen was glad to get out of
the southland not because it's
dry. There were too many tough
golfing youngsters to suit him.
There's always something to be
grateful for, even in a lean year."
Gene said. This year I'm thankful
only half dozen or so of those
babies around Georgia and Ala
bama will be able to qualify"
Sarazen, in the best shape he
has been in for the past two or
three years, is optimistic over his
chances of retaining his two titles.
He doesn't say he'll win both events
but for the life of him he can't
name a soul who'll beat him.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
By United Press

The Hollywood Stars pounded at
the heels of the Sacramento Sena-
tors today, waiting only for break
to slip into the lead in the Coast
league race.
After an Indifferent start, the
Stars at last have vindicated pre-
season boasts they would be form
liable contenders for champion
ship honors. They hit their full
stride for the first time last week
when they swept San Francisco
aside in six out of seven games.
Their winning streak continued
yesterday when for the second
straight day they repulsed Port
land, IL to 3. The hero's toga was
worn by Frank Shellenback, veter-
an hurler, who not only pitched
masterful ball but accounted for
four runs by blasting homer with
three runners aboard. The Beavers
reached Shellenback for only seven
hits which he kept well spaced. CO.
hen, A. Jacobs and Boone were
bombarded for IA by Hollywood
batsmen.
Sacramento clung to its slender
lead, however, by vanquishing San
Francisco in night game, IL to
g. 1t was a batting orgy with the
