generous enough, her child may
have the freedom she never has
known-and grasp the beauty she
has sacrificed.
3 A tired woman sits heavily to
Scribble a dozen lineS-a baby
tugging at her apron-a stew bub-
bling on the stove. Wearily her
stained, calloused fingers trace
those few words of rebellion and
longing.
And, unwittingly, she writes the
lovelieSt song the world has ever
heard. The song of the Mothers!
Down from the far past they have
come, singing that song-the for
gotten mothers of men-burdens
on their backs, fear at their hearts.
From huts and palaces-from
wherever women have toiled that
the race might go strong and free
that song has risen.
And sometimes it was harsh
shout of rebellion
And sometimes a wall of sor-
row
BUT ALWAYS IT WAS A
PRAYER!
Not for themselves-not for
their own lives-but for that
which was always far dearer to
them-their children.
"Oh, God!
"YOu meant me to sing.
''But these people won't let
me.
"But perhaps my baby will
Sing!"
Perhaps at the end, when the
reckoning is all in-when we
stand before You, Father, with
our weakness all revealed-you'n
remember that that song lay in
each of our hearts . and for
it's sake forgive all the rest?

She knows she'll get her kisses,
So, why hang up that bait?
Just now, every woman is ex.

man will give her for Christmas
and every man is filled with dread
of what she'll wish on HIM.
It is time for modern mothers
to protest. Did you ever see one
of these greeting cards ITO

pictured as young enough to have
a son under so? And, in this day,
when NO woman is over 80!
Eloquence is that wonderful gift
which enables a smart saleSwoman
to sell you a little jar of beauty
cream while she pictures you to
yourself as a potential Garbo OF
a Helen of Troy.
Somehow, it never occurs to q
philandering bachelor that a burnt

clear-sighted modern girl as a sub.

IN STATUARY IlALL

Representative Will Rogers of
Oklahoma is reported to have
been selected to lead the drive
to have a statue of the late Will
Rogers, renowned come edian,
placed in Statuary Hall at the
Capitol.
At the present time Oklahoma
has only one monument in the
hall and is entitled to have an
other.
The move to have Oklahoma S
second statue erected in honor of
the late actor and humorist is
well on it's way.
Representative Rogers and the
humorist we're great friends and
it was believed fitting that the
legislator should lead the drive
to have the statue placed in Stat

Wise Words

Life appears as wave which
rises, and which is opposed by the
descending movement of matter.
At one point alone it passes freely,
dragging with it the obstacle
which will weigh on it's progress
but will not stop it. At this point
is humanity.-Henri Bergson.
Man Is never watchful enough
against dangers that threaten him
every hour.-Horace.
Life is a series of surprises, and
would not be worth taking or
keeping if it were not.-EmerSon.
Life is a long lesson in huml-
ity.-J. M. Barrie.

RARE BIRDS


To former Senator Harry
Halves of Mossouri goes much
of the credit for the success Of
the trip taken to the Orient
by the Congressional delegation.
Hawes was chosen by the Phil
ippine government to make the
majority of selections Of persons
who were invited to go on the
trip.
When in the Senate he had
been an outstanding advocate of
Philippine independence an d
sponsored legislation designed to
make the islands free.
When he stepped out Of Con-
gress he became a representative
Of the Philippine government.
While on the journey to the
Philippines, China and Japan he
collected at least 80 live birds.
Some of them are exceedingly
rare and are considered as having
great value.
Among the collection were sew
eral talking birds which can utter
an unusual assortment of words.
The only strange thing about
them is that they talk in the Ian
guage of the Japanese.

Esperemos que de esta, al parecer insignificante in

Las autoridades de la Ciudad de Mexico, seg1n los
d~espachos de prensa, estan ahora investigated un case
que no por usual, deja de ser indicator de la inmoraiidad
existente en- algunos altos cfrculos de la administration.
Ell hecho en- 81, es sencillo: Tn %individuo, chofer de
profession, trato de asesinar a otro, que acababa de salir
de la penitenciarfa. Ell motive que do para aquel pro-
veto sangriento, fue que ell libertado declare que ell
chofer, quien sirve a cierto senador de la Republica, ha-
ba ayudado a defraudar a la nacion Ell cuarenta y cinco
mil pesos, sirviendo como "aviador' a su jefe, durante
cierto periodic de tempo.
Vale la pena expicar, siquiera sea lgeramente, 10
que en- Mexico son los "aviadores", para a~quellos que no
10 sepan aIn. Cualquier habilitado, cualquier indiyiduo
que recibe dinero para pagan fuerzas o slryientes, o en-
pleados inferiores, tiene siempre algunos "aviadores' en-
ire ell personal que de Ell depende. En- otras palabras, en-
la lista de revsta figuran nombres de indiyiduos fantas-
ticos por imaginarios, para los cuales Sc cobra haber da-
riamente. A la bora de la revista, cada mes, Sc contrata
al chofer, a un criado de confanza, o simplemente a
cualquier desocupado--muchos hay que viven de ESQ
para que responda al nombre del supuesto emp,eado. Co
bra csc dfa, y los otros veintinueve del mes, su haber es
recibido por ell jefe. En- esa forma, resulta sorprendente
la cantidad que Sc defrauda al erario. Y esa costumbre,
que por 10 que yemos no ha desaparecido aun, es un sal
do de la epoca preconstitucional, en- la que imperaba,
para decirlo en- vernaculo, ell mas escandaloso "manoteo".
. Los "ayiadores" figuran 10 mismo en- las oficinas pu-
blcas, que en- los cuerpos que forman ell Ejercito Nacio-
nal. Y ell resultado de la practica, ademas de ser un
fraude verdaderamente punible, tiene otros puntos per
