Selected Poem
LIGHTS ON THE DESERT
GA Stuart Hendrick in the Christian
 Science Monitor)

came from desert country To the plain The mesa, cact, sage, and cowboy lore Of prairie brandin, broncs, I'll go again To ride at dark the trails rode before. know the lights that shine on darkness there, Globues of gold though many miles away They wink and simmer through clear, thin air For him who rides the nights instead of day. The yellow isinglass in ranchers' shacks
 Cleans dim, and there are signs of wayside inns, Tall semaphoreS, Green guardians of the tracks, oil lamps in barns when evenings work begins. The world is large and lone on desert nights But miles are pleasant lit with desert lights.

REMOVAL OF CHILDRE E N
 ATTACKED ON INHUMANE

Waterbury, Conn.,,
 July IA, 1936. Editor, Waterbury Democrat: City.
 Dear Sir:
 I am one of seventy taxpayers of the Willow Street district, who want to condemn publicly, the action of the head of the Child Welfare De- partment in removing three chn- dren from a home on Ridgewood street, last Thursday afternoon, when the heat was 50 intense that the youngest child, Q little girl of six years, was on the verge of col. lapse from crying and pleading to be left where she was.
 We know the young woman who has had the care of the youngsters for some years, to be of sterling character, but unmarried, and in order to Hump the children olI to the state" as one state official terms 1t, they were removed to 8 home in another section. Though unrnar- ried, we put her good Judgment and excellent reputation ahead of that of the supervisor of the Public Vel fare Department, who is married woman, aid I am ashamed to say, mother, and who demanded the transfer of these children, on a day when men and women were dis" missed from offices and factories on account of the terrible heat. The affair is looked on by all who wit messed 1t, as disgraceful and in- human. If the child's health is impaired, we are ready to back her father in any action he decides to take. ...
 Sincerely,
 A"Dyed in the Wool"
 Democrat.

with them in their fight for the
holding company bill, sat with them
at their strategy meetings. and then
voted against them, denouncing
them as he did so.

Few representatives of the West
