I LIKE TO WRITE FOR DADDY
BIZ THE MAN In THE rowER


I like to write for daddy,
o soldier brave was he.
That was before, the last great war
Was just a memory.
There is flower of which ne tells
The words are on my mind.
That's why today in my own way,
These lines try to rhyme.
Some call them flander flowers,
You know the ones / mean.
They blossom there, these flowers OF care
On graves where soldiers dream.
They're not unlike red sentinels,
That guard the soldiers rest
Moving to and fro they seem to know
The living won't forget.
It's not the orchid or the rose.
This flower of tender meaning.
It's a poppy red, with dropping head,
In thought for soldiers dreaming.
So wear poppy on your coat,
For all the world to see,
That once again this flower of fame
Has Weakened memories.
like to write for daddy
know he needs my help
He lost his hand somewhere in France
And cannot write himself.

tie Of Callander would be won or
lost on that front.
The homely wisdom and quick
thinking that pulled the quins over
that first early crisis was soon sup
plemented by all the newest re-
search that science has brought to
bear on collaborating.
In addition to the daily visits to
the hospital and demands of callers
and a mountainous mail, this study
took time. AS a result. the doctors
regular practice had to be reduced
considerably.
Two months ago a young physi-
clan, M. e. Ranney, SON Of q North
Bay doctor, took up residence here,
and now the Callander area has
two physicians.

The rambling library OF. the doc
tors home has been considerably
enlarged. Many authors OF medical
books have sent their works to DR.

Kruif, have called In person, much
to the doctors delight.

Parents Worry Eased
There are cries of night things
near and far in the thickets,
chirping and croakings. But they
only emphasize the lonely stiffness.

ALLEY HOUSES
DOOMED BY
D.C.PLANS

Quietly, efficiently and with a
minimum Of publicity, John Ihl.
der, executive officer of the Alley
Dwelling Authority, is laying the
groundwork for the elimination
Of unsightly and unhealthy alleys
in the District.
Almost daily, his routine office
work disposed Of, Mr.. Ihlder may
be seen slipping out Of the Dis
trict building, brief case in hand
bound on tour Of inspection.
Great secrecy surrounds his
movements for any fanfare Of
publicity would result in skyrock-
citing realty prices and that, he
explains, would prevent the au-
thority, operating on a 100000
revolving fund, from taking ad-
vantage OF present low real estate
values.
Armed With Plans
Armed with plans furnished by
the District Surveyors office, Mr..
Ihlder grubs around in the, dis
reputable settlements which lie
quite hidden, from nearby streets.
He has many problems to con-
ten with.
Can the worst Of the build
lngs he bought reasonably and
raZed, he must decide. If not,
can they be repaired. If razed
what should be done with the re-
sultant space? Should it be con-
verted into a park, a playground,
widened into a street, or perhaps
rebuilt as model, low-coSt settle
ment, but in such a way as to be
visible from the street?
49,. Does it appear that low-coSt
garages erected there would
eventually pay for themselves?
That, too, he must answer in his
reports.
What to Do
Then too, what is to be done
with evicted alley dwellers?
Should they be moved to other
and more sanitary homes, or
should they be forced to shift for
themselves? Obviously the Dis
trict is under moral obligations to
prevent the latter and it is left
to the Authority to make recon-.
mendations.
Unspeakable fifth and ad-
vanced stages of deterioration
prevail in the majority Of alley
communities, Mr.. Ihlder finds.
Sanitary conditions are primi-
tive and a constant source of
danger. The interior of other
wise substantial dwellings are al
lowed to deteriorate until they
become so bad tenants have to
move,

Pedestrians at Circles
To the Editor Of The Times:
Cannot something be done
Immediately about Dupont Cir
Gle traffic? The traffic lights
there are far more harm than
good. In fact, it is causing an
extremely dangerous condition.
They are supposed to be there
for the protection Of the pedes-
trians. But 1t seems to me that
there are certain jaywalkers
who take extraordinary delight
in stepping into a rapidly-mov.
ing line of traffic.
When the automobiles start
from seven different points, all
"jockeying" for position, some
thing has to happen when a
jaywalker gets more bold than
usual.
The Dupont Circle Citizens
Association should wake up to
the fact that they may be indi'
rectly responsible for a usually
careful driver being charged
with manSlaughter.
Is there something in the by
laws of the association that pro-
hibits it from insisting that
more police be stationed to stop
jaywalking? Or is it in their
constitution that harm must
first occur before anything is
done?

lights and make us drivers Elk.
