Good Evening.
ST. PATRICK'S DAY

The green that gleams on Irish breasts today Has braved long centuries of woe and pain, Has seen it's Celtic symbol ordered die Triumphantly and soon to rise again. It stands for proud and burning memories That live all days in Irish hearts, Undying fires of hope for future years And quiet pride in Irish dead and gone. Behind the smile in glowing Gaelic eyes Are thoughts of men of other days, Who, too, wore the sacred green of living
 Ireland Through years of blood and cruel strife The men who lived and smiled and died That Erin's future sons might wear the green And sing the praise of Cathleen's isle The brave who died by Boynes cold stream, The singing martyrs of the Easter Week. And all the gallant, loyal, dreaming souls Who saved the green by losing their life's blood Shame O'Nel St. Ruth, MacDonagh, Mangan
 and Mcbride, OLeary Padraic Pearse and all the rest The green stands t0o for lrelands tyre That gave the world it's singing voice; It brings back thoughts of good Tom Moore Of Goldsmith, Mitchell, Burke, and Knowles, Lever, Lover, Griffin and the other Mighty wielders of the smiling, sobbing pen. For these and countless other Irish thoughts The green in all it's glory stands For years of and death and burning hope, Unswerving loyalty bright dreams and hearts That sang merry tune through days of gloom.
 Another Patrick's Day has come,
 To tell the world it's glowing tale,
 And live again in stirring thought
 The glory that was Innisfail.

Here is something for prospec- tive lawyers to think about. In 1900, there were 132,002 doctors in the country and 107,474 law yers. In 1888 there were only 157,- 900 doctors against 175,000 mem- bers of the bar. Moreover in 1900, there were 5,676 students in the medical schools and only 3,830 fol- lowing in the footsteps of Black stone. In 1888, there were 5,559 preparing for the medical profes- sion, while 9,340 were enrolled in the law schools. In a recent issue of Case and Comment" there were numerous figures to show that the law schools are grinding out too many graduates. The ar ticle commented on the fact that the American Medical association has for several years taken a keen interest in It's schools in order to prevent the profession from be- coming top heavy. Case and Comment" claims that unless the American Bar association becomes vitally interested, the legal pro- fcssion will be alarmingly over crowded within the next few years. Almost all of the professions seem to have had much too many dur ing the depression, but is 1t not true of all lines of business, if the professions might be termed as such.

Today's the day. It seems only yesterday when St Patrick's day in | Waterbury was the occasion of plenty of celebrations. Not only were they attended by the Irish, | but the guests included all nation alities. The Patrick Sarsfield club, the Robert Emmet club, the Clan ! mai Gael association, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the Friendly Sons of St Patrick, and many other | asso ciations went high, wide and | handsome on the 17th of March. At one of the last dinners held at | the Elton, the late Dr Kilmartin | and the late Sheriff Reilley were on the program. Sheriff Reilley | stole the doctors thunder when he recited "Kelly, Burke and l Shea" so the beloved "Tommie" had to answer hurry call. By the way how about that St Patricks | day song that George Cohan sang on the radio last Sunday night? It was corker ending up Fin order to do it right, we'll tell our wives | In the morning, we won't be home tonight Some say it is, an old ballad, but others insist that 1t is absolutely new. It is something | that Ray Fitzpatrick can decide. If he can't. I am sure Ed Maloney, Martin Scully, John Moriarty, Tim Luddy, Morgan Burke, Frank Guilfoile, Peter Griffin. Judge slav- In, Dr John F. Hayes, Dan Far straighten us out.

 At this time a year ago, the golf courses were practically ready for play with the greens yearning for customers. With the upturn in busi- ness, the popular pastime should look up considerably. Golf not only takes some time and little money, but the players have no pep, when business Is n. g. The golfers have nothing to say about the size of the fish they didn't catch or the putt they failed to sink when the old dough Is missing from the loosely hanging jeans. Golf is essentially not q depression game. To really enjoy a round of golf, one has to be, using the slang vernacular, rather Flush. The directors of all the local clubs expect prosperous summer. Spied Dr. P. J. Brennan the W. k. physician. looking over clubs during the week. Someone took liking to his handsome set of clubs during the waning days of last fall. Johnny Derwin, the banjo strummer, has his butter all shined up, while pr. Good, has al- ready made resolution that he will not give his opponents all the better of the matches at the Wat erbury Country club this year. The municipal club house with it's many lockers and fine shower rooms will be ready by the first of May and should bring plenty of new busi- ness to the East Mountain course. If business keeps improving. the sporting houses reduce the price nf t.slI vtt T. f.t. reach of the ordinary mortals and, if Pres. Roosevelt continues his crusades so that the tired golfers can obtain refreshing concotion without parting with his right eye, the 18th hole will again be popular this summer.
