SUMMER STORM

SUMMER STORM (Reginald N. Cleveland in the New York TinleO stIll arc the leaves so still that we can hear q The least reiterative insect note Tn an insstent cadence. Then there float On lifeless air robins calls of fear. The west looms black Great thunderh0adS appear Too boil across the sun.

Half stiled with the beating of my heart, To know the outcome of my cast with fate.

About all I have been doing since you went on tour is to sit at a Typewriter answering letters from people who claim that you are guilty of insidious and devas- tating propaganda against their Ali, or that you are sickeningly pro.Landon and have buttered him up beyond oil recognition.
 Apparently, Mfr. Allen, you have not learned that you cannot please all of the people oil of the time, and your punishment should be to come back here immediately and answer these letters yourself.
 Pr0.LandOn
 Here, for instance, Is . little epiStle from A. Warner, li400 De. troit avenue, Cleveland, who writes: T don't know what your feud is with the New Deal. but frankly your pro.Landon attitude of late has left me pretty dis. Rusted with you. How much have these republicans ponied Up to buy you out2"
 VIII you please wire mo, day press collect, Mir. Allen, the exact amount you received. After all, am entitled to my half.
 PrO.ROOsevelt
 Here is another from M. 0. Hull, Bryn Mawr, Pa, who says: "These underhand cracks you have been taking at Governor Landon only SO to prove what some os us al. ways have thought about you, that you have sold out, lock, stock and barrel to Roosevelt"
 Does that mean, Bob, that you've been collecting from both sides and not telling me about it7
 Stabbing Roosevelt
 Also c letter from Colonel Carl Miller in Texarkana, Texas, who says: "Down in this part of the country we believe that Q mans family should not Dc held against him and that your articles about the Roosevelt family were . mean, dirty way of Stabblng the Presi. dent In the back.
 And another from Jeff c. Jones, 1900 W. 10th street, Dallas, Texas, who writes: q shall rea0 your column carefully tO discover when Che big sIush Hund tOuChes your hands. If eveT."
 Well, ct least MT. Jones gives Us the benefit of the doubt.
 Mrs. Roosevelt Mail
 That's only 6 small part of the political squawks. I'll save the rest to show you when you get back. There have also been, as usual, some letters about Mrs. Roosevelt. one from A. M. Brown, Kittery Point, Me-, asks whether 1t is true that Mrs. Roose. welt once entertained c group of girls from c TeformatoTy school at tea.
 ANSWERED AS FOLLOWg- Mrs. Roosevelt did entertain some girls from c nearby Teformatory school at the White House iast spring. stephen Early, the Presidents secretary tried to diss Suade her from doing @, points ing out that the girls all had gone astray ct one tiino and that the public impression would Do unfavs orabie. Mrs. Roosevelt, however, argued that the girls were only sixteen to eighteen years old, were entitled to . fresh start t1 life and she wanted to help give tt Co them. So the girls came to the White House, had tea and Mrs. Roosevelt discussed the facts of life with them in the SEankest terms.

To get back to Stain and Trot. sky what 1 wanted to say is that deadly enemies Of oil religion aS they are, both of them started iTl life in q devoutly religious family environment. Stain was ' theo" logical student And . prospective priest Of the Russian Orthodox Church. Trotsky'B early, and . considerable portion Of his later, education was intended to fit him to become c rabbi. Whatever di. Verted them from asl ecclesiastical career It is impossible to say. But however widely and ferociouSly they disagree on other things, they have c common bond ii1 their fa" natical hatred Of religion both iTi itself and It's adheretitg.

MY Children" was the title of
the program given by Mrs. John
T. Rice Monday afternoon at the
meetins of the Twice Told Tales
section of the Ten Thousand club
at the home of Mrs. Donald w.
Ketchen, 1882 Olive avenue.
Mrs. Rice, the members agreed
indeed had reason to be proud of
her children for the program con-
sisted of their work which show
ed considerable talent.
A poem, written by her 1l-year-
old daughter, Rosemary, but writ
ten when the author was only
nine, was recited by Mrs. Rice
as the opening for her program.
The poem was excellent with nice
metre and imagery rather re-
markable for SO young child.
Reviews Book
The main part of the program
was devoted to a book written by
Morgan Rice, Forever Driven &,
the title being indicative of the
books theme. This theme is the
desert and the fact that the fear
of being lost in its immensely is
in itself an incentive toward con-
tinued effort to escape from that
fear.
The deserts beauty, its relent-
lessness and its enormous drift
