Poem .sWrote Itself"

The poem "Mighty LAX a Rose"
was written by Frank Stanton, ST., at
q time when his infant son was very
Ill. He is quoted as telling Of 1t as
follows: zone night when came
home from the Office stole upstairs
to his crib and looked down into his
feverish little face, and tell you my
heart nearly broke, for fear he was go
ing to die. His mother and grand
mother were standing by me, and he
was asleep. Isn't he the sweetest
little fellowf He's just like rose
said his grandmother. I went to my
room, picked up a piece Of copy pa
per and the poem wrote itself"

Public Roads has been drawn into
the controversy which arose when
the State advisory board OF the Pub
lie Works Administration rejected
the State Roads Commission's plan
for the improvement of the Philadel-
phia road was revealed Thursday at
a public meeting of the commission.
The meeting was attended by APP
proximately one hundred persons
and was called so the views Of those
interested in the result of the con-
troversy could be recorded. A ma
jority of the speakers urged the car
rying out of the original plan to
widen the Philadelphia road.
Just how much the Federal Roads
Bureau will affect the controversy is
considered an open question. Speak
ers pointed out, however, that it
would be possible to improve the
Philadelphia road to some major ex-
tent if the bureau sanctioned such
action and despite any opinions held
by members of the State advisory
board of the PWA.
In rejecting the Roads Commits
sion's plan to widen and otherwise
improve the Philadelphia road, the
PWA advisory board came out in
support OF an entirely new highway
connecting Baltimore with the north
and east, the route to lie to the
southeast of the Philadelphia road
and virtually to parallel the tracks
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Whether the Philadelphia road
will be improved or a new highway
built is expected to be decided in
about two weeks. It is Known that
neither the Roads Commission nor
the advisory group has altered its
stand in the matter.
The rejection of the Philadelphia
road plan by the advisory board of
the PWA was based on the theory
that the Federal Government does
not want to improve highway un-
less right of way of $50 feet can be
obtained. The Philadelphia road
proposal calls for right of way Of
out seventy feet.

On the face of a jagged wall in a
grotto in western Tibet there exists,
sculptured out of the virgin rock,
mighty Buddha. The grotto was hol-
lowed out and the image built with
in it probably several hundred years
ago, as modified form of Buddhism
has been the chief religion Of Tibet
for many centuries. Buddhism, as
religion, was launched by Prince Gau-
tama in the valley Of the Ganges, in
India, six hundred years before Christ.
It gradually moved northward and
eastward and today there are very
few Buddhists left In India proper.
Most Of the Buddhists Of the world
are found in Burma, Indo- China, Siam,
Tibet, China and japan.

INTERSTATE ASKS FOR QUICK
STRIKE SETTLEMENT

The Interstate Milk Producers
Association again made definite APP
peals to all parties concerned in the
milk drivers strike to settle their
difficulties. Hundreds of producers,
both members and non-members OF
the Interstate, have been made in
nocent sufferers through losing their
markets when dealers closed receiv-
ing stations and shut off milk they
couldn't move in the city.
kilograms were dispatched from
Interstate Offices on Saturday to
local and national union officials, to
the Philadelphia Milk Exchange and
to leading Philadelphia milk dis
tributors again calling their atten-
tion to the serious situation among
the farmers. These parties were
urged to arbitrate their difficulties
forthwith, thus ending the turmoil
which has made milk producers the
irnoncent sufferers in this difficulty
The telegram follows:
Interstate Milk Producers' Assoc
citation is gravely concerned over
increasingly serious situation due
to milk drivers strike. We have
no sufficient facts upon which to
judge merits of controversy, how
ever, producers must be consider
ed. We urgently request both
parties to accept arbitration forth
with thereby ending turmoil in
which producers are innocent suf-
! ferers.''

Fighting Men Quick to
Appreciate the Horse

It II generally held that the horse
came originally from beyond the Euph-
rates, in Armenia, where Noah's ark
was stranded, and where the ass still
runs wild. Its value, as a war charg-
er and chariot or cavalry horse, soon
caused 1t to be tanned and exported to
other countries, and Bible students
win remember that Holofernes had
1900 mounted archers Judith II :15).
Probably the Egyptian horsemen,
which accompanied Joseph and his
brethren on their pilgrimage to Canaan
for the purpose Of burying Jacob in
the grave Of his ancestors, were cav
alrymen sent by Pharaoh, to protect
the cavalcade from prowling bands Of
mounted Bedouins.
Syria, and no doubt heather Canaan,
employed horses In war, but the Isra-
elites were forbidden to initiate them
and in obedience to divine command
hamstrung any of the chargers they
captured. Job, who may have lived
long before the Exodus, knew the
horse only as fleet, strong and hand
some animal to be used In war. His
description Of the noble animal (Job
sXXXTX) as translated In the Author
lied Version Of the Bible, will always
be admired by horsemen, indeed by
all who feel the thrill Of majestic, per-
fectly expressed language.

Real Meaning Of "Trade"

The word trade springs from me-
dieval English and originally meant
a path or road and Is connected with
the word tread. meaning walk or pro-
coed. Beginning with the Hanseatic
league. 1t took on a special reference
to the path Of ships. A ship going
to China was bound on the China
trade or path to China. As barter was
always associated with such voyages,
the word trade gradually began to
take on more significance in relation
to the business Of the voyage than to
the voyage itself. Hence, foreign
trade and domestic trade became
standard terms in the language.

Dorie, Ionic and Corinthian columns
which still decorate so many Of our

for modern churches and public build

at Mines, which was the model for

Heut DulietlH, LII. n. H.
irector of the State depart
sSssl Health, directed the atten-
aothers of young children to
d INIT suggested foods for children
who are underweight This week
he calls attention to further recon-
mendations which come from the
same source-the U. S. Crildren's
Bureau-as to the needs Of srowing
children for regular medical super
vision, for sleep and rest, and for
exercise and outdoor play. The
recommendation follow:
Sleep and Rest
An undernourished child should
have more sleep and rest than the
well-nourished child of the same
age. From 2 to 6 years of age he
should rest at least " hours during
the day and should have IL to 13
hours Of sleep at night, going to bed
at 6 or $50 or, toward the end OF
this period, in some cases, at 700;
during school years he should rest
after lunch for half an hour and
should have at least II to IL hours
Of sleep, going to bed at 1880 or 8
O'Clock. A child in his teens who is
undernourished needs 10 to IL
hours of sleep and also should rest
daily after lunch. Every child
should sleep in bed by himself.
Exercise and Outdoor Play
An undernourished child should
play outdoors in the sun for part
of each day Except at midday in hot
weather. Little is gained, however,
by outdoor play on cloudy days in
very cold weather. If the tempera-
ture is below freezing, young child
rem cannot exercise enough 20 keep
warm. Moderate play and exercise
are recommended, but strenuous
games and exercise may have to be
avoided until the child's nutritional
COuulIlOu IOIuIuS " AOEAdt. VI :
poseless running about indoors
should be discouraged by providing
some quiet amusement. The physi-
clans advice should be sought with
respect to the amount OF exercise
at is desirable.
Habits of Eating
gIalnutrition is sometimes due
solely to poor eating habits. II
your child is finicky eater and re-
fuses foods that he needs, especially
milk and vegetables, consult your
physician as to how you may help
him overcome the habit.
Correction of Physical Defects
Certain physical defects may in
terfere with child's nutrition and
will have to be corrected before the
child's condition improves. A care
full physical examination by physi-
clan will be necessary to discover
these defects.
