 Dave Ross, for instance. As
 . CBS announcer he was con-
 sidered good enough by the
 American Academy of Arts and
 Letters to be awarded the
 academyss medal for good dic-

 large number of fans listen to
 his "Poet's Gold" broadcasts
 because they like the way he
 reads verse. But the other

 etioian by professionalism
 was anxious to speak to Dave
 on the phone. She wanted to
 give him some advice. She
 could tell, she said, by the
 way he spoke that he wasn't
 following the proper diet.
 She'd like to tell just what he
 should eat to sound right over
 the air. Dave says it's prob-
 ably spinach and-well, you
 know the answer.

''At $3.50 A. NJ, on the morning of
the accident, Mrs. Grant was on
duty alone in the Dover telephone
Office when she received a call ad
vising her that a serious railroad
wreck had occurred when a fast
train had passed through an open
switch at Wyoming, four miles
south of Dover. 1t later appeared
that the locomotive had left the
rails, turning over on its side, that
a combination baggage and smoking
car was demolished when it crash
ed into a. concrete factory building,
and that the engineer and fireman
had been killed and thirteen pas
sengers injured.
Mrs. Grant started Immediately
to notify all who could bring as
sistance to the scene of the acct
dent. Attempts to reach some one
at the Wyoming and Dover sta
tions of the railroad company we're
unavailing. as no one was there at
that hour. Mrs Grant Immediately
called one of the local doctors in
Wyoming and telephoned the sta
ton agent at his home in Dover and
notified him of the accident. Too
ill to leave his house, the station
agent requested her to notify. the
train dispatcher at Wilmington,
Del, which she did at once. giving
him such details as she knew in re-
gard to the accident. and connect
ing him with one of the passengers
who had been aboard the wrecked.
train, and who made a more COM
plete report.
while talking with the railroad
station agent, Mrs. Grant had in
quired as to the names of the two
railroad company doctors in Dover,
and got in touch with one of them
and with the assistant of the other,
both of whom hurried to the scene
of the accident. Mrs. Grant then
proceeded to summon the State Po-
lice. reaching them after a number
of attempts, as they were all on
duty away from the police station.
Mrs. Grant then called the Dover
fire house to summon the ambu-
lance and telephoned three mem
beers of the ambulance crew at their
homes in order that they might re-
ceive the news of the accident with
out delay.
During all of this time, Mrs.
Grant was handling toll calls from
passengers on the train, who in
cluded thirty-nine members of the
Boston American League baseball
team, who were returning from
their spring training trip in Florida.
These passengers were calling to
their homes to assure their families
that they were safe. AS soon as
news of the wreck became known
in Dover. the volume of local calls
rapidly increased. thus placing an
additional responsibility on Mrs.
Grant.
"A few days after the wreck the
manager of the tele-
phone company at Dover received
letter from the railroad company
expressing appreciation for the as
sistance rendered by Mrs. Grant:

To judge not till you know where

A WOMAN'S HEART

A woman's heart is a savings bank
Where the love you deposit lies.
Gathering interest day by day
From the sunshine of the skies.
There isn't a safer place. my lad,
To bury the treasure you'd keep
Than down in its beautiful vaults of
dream
Where the tenderest blossoms
sleep.
A woman's heart is the place to
hide
Whatever you'd treasure best;
For she'll give it back as the years
go by
In a love that's more than rest.
A woman's heart is a storage vault.
Where nothing breaks in to steal.
Except the honor you fail to pay
And the love you forget to feel.
A love you have placed there once
remains.
And you may forget. but she
Will give 1t back. if you want it so.
And smile as she hands the key
Smile, but never forget. my lad.
That a smile is the saddest thing
When it's over the ashes of some
thing dead
And the heart is a broken wing!
A woman's heart is a fortress
strong,
Where your foes may never come.
With prancing steeds and cleaning
sword
And the rat-tat of the drum.
For that which you treasure she
will defend.
And loud as the guns may roll.
She'll stand in the breach to the
very end
And then she will fight with her
soul
A woman's heart-I would rather
trust
My all unto that, l know,
For love in the keeping of such q
place
Will grow as the blossoms grow.
