Selected Poem
HANDS OF DESTINY


 (Helen Trlth stickney in The New York Sum- Across the weave of life they pass unknown, These countless women cIrcled way; Their homes are edged with struggle where alone Courage and toll are set against disnnay. And who would ever guess their dreams at dawn. Save in some flash of coor touched by grace Some vista like a widened glance, withdrawn From the closed patterns of the commonplace. Here flows tho endless march of endless days, Shaped to this beat, elated and yet still These are the hands of destiny, that raise A bowl of flowers to q window sill.

 They dislike the league. They also dislike war. But some of them dislike the league 50 much that they would almost rather see war continue than have the league get credit for stopping 1t. MIRACLE MAN
 John H. Tolan, rookie cons Sgressman from Oakland, Cal, believes in miracles.
 He relates an incident that oc- cured during hi selection cam. |, paign last year as the reason for hls faith.
 Running as Sinclair democrat TOlan was having . difficult time. He was without financial resources and his opponent was openly offering 6 to 1 that he would beat hiin.
 One day, with the rent for his campaign headquarters due, no money for campaign literature, and things generally at their blackest, a stranger walked in.
 Why aren't you getting out campaign leaflets" he demanded.
 Because haven't got the money" Tolan replied.
 How much would you need to get out q batch?" \
 "$161.86."
 The stranger reached into his pocket, counted out the sum tO the exact penny and departed without saying another word.

Washington, Jan '22.-ft has been done 50 quietly that only 6 few insiders know about 1t, but the administration has just add. ed another linke in the chain 1t Is |, forging by which the government will have an iron grip on the
 Federal Reserve System.
 The fact that the latest steps have been taken entirely within the existing law, and officially on the initiative of the Federal Reserve Board, will not increase their palatability to querulouS Senator Carter Glass and other die-hard defenders of Federal Reserve autonomy.
 What the Reserve Board has done is this:
 1. It has notified the twelve Reserve banks that the Federal Reserve agents--who act al chcairmen of these banks-will hold office only at the pleasure of the board in Washington. Heretofore, they were appoitned for 12-month periods.
 2. It laid down the rule that future directors of Reserve banks will not be eligible for further service if they have filled two terms. They. also, are appointed by tho board.
 This last order is Q solar plexus blow.
 It means that acting thorugh the Federal Reserve Board, which 1t now dominates, the ad- ministration will be able to junk many of the anti-New Deal bank CTS who now rule the Reserve banks and replace them with New Deal friends.
 .. Already the projected house. cleaning has created an uproar in inner Federal Reserve circles.
 NOTE-It is now definitely known that l.. E. Williams rec signed as agent of the Cleveland Federal Reserve bank because of resentment over the indefinite tenure of his office. And it was highly significant that no effort was made to persuade Williams to stay.

CONFIDENT


 Senator Henry Ashurst, state- ly chcairman of the senate 5u- dietary committee, is sure the supreme court will uphold the constitutoinality of the gold clause.
 He bases his confidence on the attitude of the court during the arguments on the case.
 From my long experience as a trial lawyer" he explains, "1 have found that when the bench is sympathetic and friendly, that that Is the time to become con. ccrncd.
 "I3ut when the court Is short is short and snappy toward you then nine times out of ten you will get the verdict"
 NOTE-During the arguments on the gold cases members Of the supreme court were un- usually sharp in their interroga- ton of government attorneys. DIPLOMATIC PREDICAMENT
 Few people outside the diDlo- matic corps realize 1t, but war in the Chaco, plus tho League of Nations, has put the state De- partmcnt in serious diplomatic hole.
 The predlcament is important because of the precedents iii' yOlycd.
 The League of Nations, for the first time in its history, has moved toward approving war against an aggressor nation--in this case Paraguay.
 Joint action against an aggres- sor is the keystone of the League Covenant. So far 1t has re- maincd mere theory Now ft is translated into fact.
 But the translation happens to come in connection with q dis- pute all-impOrtant to the United States. The state Department claims a friendly right to help settle conflicts in the Western and for seven years inetrmittentiy--it has taken the, lead in consolidating the row be- tween Bolivia and Paraguay.
 Now the league, showing sur. prislng vim and vigOr, has taken over tile dispute, seems more de- termincd tfa ntfc United States to settle it. For tIse league, this iS Q tcgt case.
 What makes 1t worse is that Argentina, Tod by It's brilliant foreign minister, Saavedra La- mas. is one of the main factors behind the league.

COMPROMISED on Nominal Skirts

THE news photographs of the masqueraders
u prompted reflection that ladies should never
strive to make themselves grotesque unless they be
gifted condolences such as Ray Dooley or Beatrice
Lille, but, on the contrary, should make themselves
as charming as possible at all times. OF course
this was private party but. after ALL the lid sit
for the news pictures and these were printed and
the effect may be localized somewhere between
pretty awful and worse yet.
Mrs Lehman seems to have received the same
impression for when she borrowed the idea from
Mrs. Roosevelt and entertained the ladies of the
Albany press corps at nursery party in the eXecu-
tive mansion, the result, as seen in the news pic
lures, was more pleasing to the naked eye. The
grown up ladies at Mrs. Lehman's party did not act
like babies, but compromised on very nominal skirts
rompers, pig-tails, hair-ribbons and bare legs.
1t may be outside the province of these dis
patches to appraSe the Shanks of governors lady
and those of her guests, but any with cents
may buy daily paper and any one who has seen
the pictures has a right to remark that they
very attractive photographs Certainly the eye does
not hurry to the contemplation of other matters
as quickly it fled the Disseminating view of the
grown up ladies acting like babies at the White
House few weeks ago.
The happy thought occurs that next year the
Albany correspondents might be prevailed upon to
hold their party in the seclusion of the nursery
or say the tap-room if there is in the execu-
tive mansion, and permit the distaff side to take
the stage in the banquet hall Of the hotel. The
ladies-God bless 'ern-have hit upon an idea which,
though not strictly original, seems to contain much
better entertainment value and charm than any,
thing the gents were able to offer.

NJ meas measles sllD N''D az w.
In Illinois, 2509 new cases Of measles were re-
ported in the third week in February-the highest
mark thus far reached this year. Measles also is
especially prevalent at this time in Wisconsin, Iowa
and Kansas.
Measles has been called the most common Oh
all infectious diseases 1t appears in all climates
and affects all races 1t is likely to be less prev
alent in rural districts than in the cities because
it spreads from one person to another.
XXTHILE the cause of measles is not definitely
w known, the condition is recognized as in
fictitious and may be transferred from one person
to another by injecting the blood from an infected
person to one who is not infected.
The characteristic sign Of measles is the eruption
which appears on the skin about the fourth day,
usually on the back of the neck and behind the
ears and then spreading to the front of the face,
the trunk and the thighs; the palms and the soles
of the feet are usually the last to be affected
THE highest number Of deaths occurs in infancy.
i After the age of TO- the number Of deaths from
measles is very low.
NOWADAYS we have a specific method Of treat
taken from person who has recently recovered
from the disease In prevention of measles this
serum may be injected into the body, to give the
person who receives it the protection afforded oy
the resistance of the person who has had the disease
and recovered.
Use of this serum is especially recommended IN
cases of infants and children below yea@S OF age
who were in contact with the disease because the
death rate is highest st this aga

TTNHERE is no doubt however, that the Gridiron is
Il the most important foolshness of its kind in the
amateur theatrical in this country as it is
demonstrated every year by the scheming and
ing INDUCED in by distinguished statesmen execu-
tives and captains of industry who eat their hearts
out and bust their straps in competition for linn
tied number of invitations.
Elsewhere, these pin-shows range down through a
list which includes those of the New York City Hall
men and the Albany correspondents to blackface
MINISTRIES by groups of county seat reporters for
getting the banquet of the New York chapter of the
Baseball Writer'S Association. Some of them may
be regarded by friends of the accused as pretty fair
for amateurs. But judged by standards, they would
be condemned by any play reviewer as to material
and execution both. Puns, parodies and broken
the audiences is averted only because majority of
those present attend in mood of pity mingled with
alcoholic careleSsness
hopeful innovation has been introduced by Mrs.
Roosevelt in Washington, however and greatly i'm
proved upon in Albany by Mrs. Herbert Lehman the
wife of the Governor
Perceving that the ladies of the Cridiron circle
were having rather sticky time of it by themselves
Gridron nights, Mrs. Roosevelt invited them to
come to the White House for entertainment of
their own which, this year, took the form of mas
querade. The humor of the ladies followed natural
nclinatlons and certain of them showed up some
what thinly disguised as the Dionne quintupets re-
calling a popular song of some years back which
held that when grown-up ladies act like babies the
effect leaves something to be desired.
