That whirligig known as French
politics took another spasmodic turn
early today and Parisians learned at
breakfast that out of the turmoil in
the Palais Bourbon this week yet an
other minority-the third in six days
had been born. Having previously
failed to form a government on the
ruins of the Flandin and Bouisson

just caused by irreconcilable political

A Rhyme at Twilight
BY
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
On to the Wedding

Eager hands at last release her,
And in laughter soft and low
All her bridesmaids cluster round
her
Is she ready now to 60?
Poised before her girlhood mirror,
Orange blossoms on her brow,
In her arms sheath of lilies.
She would be alone Just now.
They must leave her for a minute,
They must go and close the door.
Silently she sees them vanish
Fer she kneels upon the floor,
Fer she bends to kiss her mirror
MY own looking glass. good-by:
Good-by wonderland Of childhood
Little girl, don't cry, don't cry!"
At the door her bridesmaids call her.
In the garden near the arch
He is waiting for her coming
As musicians start the march,
To her place the music draws her;
Now her feet move with the tune
And the throng within the gardens
See radiant bride Of June.

newspaper comment indicating that
few persons still think the only
function of the state drivers license
bureau is to issue licenses. Actually,
the issuing of the drivers license
is only the beginning. In fact
the issuance of a license in itself
means nothing to the cause of public
safety unless it is followed by con-
slant checking of the accident record
of every driver and the suspension
or revocation of licenses where such
action is indicated under the law.
Even this. of course. would fail of
effect except for the cooperation of
local police officers and sheriffs in
enforcing the act of the license bu-
reau. Safety groups everywhere are
urging rigid enforcement of standard
drivers license laws as one means of
controlling the reckless drivers who
every day spatter our highways with
the blood of innocent men, women
and children.

In matters of peace and social well
fare, the Scandinavian countries lead
the world. Because Minnesota is per-
haps the most advanced of the United
States in social thinking and because
it is the chosen state of Norwegian
immigrants, the visit of Wilhelm
MOrgenstierne, Norwegian minister
to this country, to Minnesota on Left
Ericsson day was doubly significant.
Mr.. Morgenstierne declared that not
only do the United States and Norway
have the same colors in their flags,
but also. the same ideals in their
hearts" Further. he said, never be-
fore has democracy had to face a
more serious crisis than it faces to-
day. The very meaning, the founda-
ton, of democracy-ther right and the
duty of the majority of any nation to
shape the destinies of that nation
is being challenged" Apparently,
Mr.. Morgenstierne is we'll aware of
the fascist threat in America.

The Minnesota Forest Service has
been conducting a series of tests to
adapt the high frequency short-wave
radio to fire-fighting use. Light, port
able sets equipped for transmission
as we'll as reception are used. The
Forest Service intends to equip its
ranger stations and lookout towers
with radios if the tests prove salts
factory.
Radio will not replace the tele-
phone but will be of value where NO
telephones are available. Many of
the localities in which forest fires
are likely to occur are far from tele-
phone connections. Radio equipment
would save rangers many miles OF
travel and would assure high de-
gree of efficiency in fire protection
During a recent test, communication
was successful for a distance of As
miles airline. The sets with which
the experiments are being made were
built in st. Paul by employees of the
Division of Forestry.
