Selected Poem
THE EMPTY STALL

Leone Rice Grelle in The New York Times) And all is silence. But still hear The eager nicker, So good-so dear The restless pounding Of hoofS that wait For me to saddle,
 And life the gate. And still finger To say good night The while she holds me With glad delight;- And feel her muzzle Against my face And stroke her neck In the same warm place. ... Though the stall is vacant And quiet and bare A bit of my heart Is anchored there.

 @. Did snakes originally have legsP Y A. Undoubtedly all snakes at one time walked on four legs. It is be- iieved that they lost their limbs when they lived in dense vegetation where locomotion by lateral undula- tions was especially advantageous. All snakes have vestigial hind limbs, and in the pythons and boa con- strictors these rudimentary legs are still used to some extent. Snakes are really lizards that have lost their legs and undergone other modifica- tions. The so-cAlled legless lizards are examples of the process of be- coming a snake, and they are con meeting links between true snakes and true lizards. s$

BVMiniature Quake
Caused by Dynamite

TULSA, OKLA, May 81 UN.S)
''X-raying" the earth as deep as, a
mile or more-by means of sound
waves-to help discover new oil
fields, was demonstrated today at
the international Petroleum Elk,
position here.
Here's how it's done:
Dynamite, exploded so or 100
feet down, creates a miniature
earthquake" is infinitesimal that
the ground shivers only mil
lionth of an inch.
The blast send a sound wave
down through the earth. If the
surface structure contains frozen
waves"-the deep miil-and-valley
contour held typical of oil fields
the explosion echoes reach the sur
face sooner from the high points
than from the low.
An echo picked up only two
hundredths of a second sooner at
any one point indicates the sound
wave struck a potential "oil hill''
closer to the Surgace, the sponsors
of the method asserted.
In Oklahoma alone, it was re-
ported, 81 new oil fields have been
discovered by this method.

NEW YORK, May 81 G.N.S0.
social security Is in the air,
but 1t was not invented by the
present Administration. Bust
ness must remember that bust
ness-the emp1Oyed-must pay
for the unemployed"
This was the statement today
Of Peter Grimm, president OF Will
liam A. White & Sons, at a con-
ference of distinguished business
and professional men on employ
ment, recovery and private enter
prise, held under the auspices of
the Commercial Placement Coun-
Gil Of New York. He said:
"This is the day for men Of
small means to rise to the top.
1t may sound platitudinOuS, but,
as the governor of Kansas re-
marked recently, 'platitudes be-
come platitudes because they
were fundamental truths
Grimm paid tribute to en-
ployers who have carried "the
real load" of keeping men and
women on payrollS where they
were no longer needed. He said:
"The firms in America that
are best off are those that have
frightened the belt and used
their own money to keep on the
payroll those who probably
would have been let go by
ordinary business men,"
DR.. Joseph JaStrow, former
psychology professor at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, called for
job security for the sake of the
mental well-being of the nation.
He said:
"The worst feature of eco
nOmic insecurity is its effect on
the mind"

Psychology
By DIR. Jesse W. spRoWLs.

BY Dh. JESSE w. SfhUWLS.
MISFITS In modern society may be
AA classified as follows: the weak
ling, the extreme egoist, the extreme
egocentric and the eccentric.
Five Of six centuries ago. when civil
ization was on q different plane, the
weakling was eliminated rather early
in life, in rather strice obedience to
the biological law Of the survival Of
the fittest. The same was true for
the eccentric, who usually found q
place behind bars, where he wasted
away. Today these have q good
chance to live out the limit Of their
constitutional set-up.
But back in those days the extreme
egoist Jared better than today. He
had the opportunity to gain his de-
nands for absolute power. Also the
extreme egocentric had more than an
even break In his struggle for prestige.
We now 1--we In different age. Our
civilization is centered around the
average man. The average man Is
Natures darling treasure" This
means that personality values are
concentrated and personality esti-
mates are calculated with greater pre-
cision.
The ascension Of the average man
to the center Of civilization has worked
a hardship on both the egoist and
the egocentric. This ascension has
exposed as weaknesses what used TO
be regarded as mysterious strengths.
On the other hand, this same ascen-
sion has in some measure counter
acted the biological laws which made
the going hard for the mentally weak
and the mentally unbalanced.

~ ERHAPS you didn't know, prob
ably you didn't care but it is,
nevertheless, a fact that many
i of our present smart and ac-
cepted fashions had their genesis in
the saddle and among the spectators
at fashionable turf and field events.
To name few: the derby, the high
hat, the fourth hand, the ascot tie,
the covert-cloth coat, the polo coat
and vented jackets.
Lest there be any misunderstand-
ing, we'd like to clarity point here.
With no disrespect to the thousands
who like to see 'em run, the race
track habitue, whose blatant, horsy
attire permits no one to overlook his
close association with stable and track,
is not our idea of horseman. His
interest in horses is professional, al
though it differs from that of the
fellows with the brooms and white
suits. But going back to the equine
minded gentry, we find in their clothes
an important source of inspiration,
particularly in clothes for informal
and countryside wear.
THE spectator, here shown attend
- ing what is evidently a point-to-
point meet, is wearing loose fitting,
raglan sleeved, fairly bold plaid top
coat His suit is of herringbone Shet-
land, and his one-piece cap is a
hounds tooth check. This is an outfit
ideal for this specific occasion, as well
as any number of other sporting events
held under similar conditions during
the Spring.

~ EDTAIL the Hawk and Mrs.
Redtail had returned " the
Green Forest looking forward
4 to fixing up their old home
and using 1t again, just as they had
for so many Springs. Alas! 1t was
in ruins. It was beyond repair. More
than this. the location coulds not be
used again because of broken branch.
So there was nothing for !: but to
build elsewhere. Now members Of the
Hawk family, when looking for a new
home location, have an advantage over
some other people. They have marvel
Gus eyes and, as you know, they are
wonderfully at home in the air. So
they can fly high and, looking down.
they can see q wide expanse OF
country. So, having decided that they
were going to find 0 new location, but
that they were not going to leave the
Green Forest, the Redtails simply took
to circling slowly over the Green Forest,
all the time looking down.
There's Blacky the Crows old
nest" said Redtail. "I wonder II
those Crows will use 1t again this
year."
rs something wrong with your
eyes?" asked Mrs. Redtail. Cant you
see that that nest Is occupied this
very minute? There's Mrs. Hooty the
Great Horned Owl on 1t, and there's
Hooty in the very next tree. That set
ties one thing"
What does 1t settler" asked Red
tail.
We don't want anything to do
with that neighborflood," replied Mrs
Redtail. I'm not too flssy about my
neighbors. but / draw the line at be-
ing neighbors with Hooty the Owl"

LOOK DOWN THERE, MY DEAR"
SAID HE.
"Quite right. my dear: quite right"
replied Redtail. II feel the same way
about that. Well look elsewhere"
So they continued to circle over
the Green Forest, searching every part
of it for just the kind of tree that
they wanted. They were little fussy
about the tree in which to build. Il
would like" said Mrs. Redtail, Ito be
not great way from the edge of the
Green Forest, instead of going way
in, but so far haven't seen Just the
right place. The trees around the
edge of the Green Forest are not big
enough. OF course. we don't have to
be high up from the ground, but I
much prefer to be, would like tree
that is both tall and big"
There are some tall trees, and they
are big ones, too, way over yonder,"
said Redtail. and headed toward them.
Mrs. Redtail followed. Presently
they were sailing in small circles di-
rectly above a clump of the tallest and
biggest trees in the Green Forest. With
them was q low hemlock tree. with
biggrowfng, wide-spreading branches.
Sailing directly over this, Redtail made
a discovery. He whistled sharply to
Mrs. Redtail. Look down there, my
dear" said he. There's a nest down
there, and some one on it,
Mrs. Blacky!'' exclaimed Mrs. Red
tail. 'I wondered where those Crows
were keeping themselves. I've never
seen them over in this part Of the
Green Forest much. I wonder how
they came to nest here"
Probably trying to get as far away
from Hooty the Owl as possible" said
Redtail, and he was quite right in this,
as you know
Mrs. Redtau circled lower and
lower, looking over those big trees.
Redtail waited. Finally Mrs. Redtail
alishted in the top Of one Of them.
Here's where we will build" said she
simply.
Mrs. Blacky heard it and knew now
that she and Blacky would have un-
wanted neighbors
