HER BABY JOE
(By Margie Hicks

There came some twenty years ago,
A little round-faced lad
The mothers eyes did glow.
"A for him." said Dad
W III misty eyes she made reply,
He Shall be my Baby Joe.
His mothers wish he did not know;
She wanted those tiny fingers
To a violin bow.
Rut that, he could not do;
Though in his mind
He sought to find
life-work for Little Joe.
With years he grew and gained much strength,
With only one ambition;
At Box ng, his time he spent
Till he found he in condition
Within his dreams, he coming years
Would bring Joe Louis ambition.
Onward upward, he did climb,
Trying to set better pace;
lie worked hard and now we find
He is the idol OF his race.
From far and near, you hear,
That Joe is surely fine.
Until to-day. he has fought high and low,
Winning in every way,
With his mind travelling steady and slow,
Moving in, he does not delay,
But taking a bunch,
He gives a m ghty punch
Then it's Alta Boy Joe!'
Some call him the Dynamite joe
Brown Bomber and Chocolate Kid"
And other names he does not know:
They just think of the things he did.
But in his mothers heart,
With every fight he starts,
There are prayers for her Baby Joe.

While the flies shrilled and the

once mighty Grand Army Of the Re-
public marched along Pennsylvania
avenue today before thousands of rev.
erent watchers, many of whom wept
frankly and unashamed.
AS the thin and wavering line went
by, it was only too evident to those
in the densely packed crowds that the
Grand Army, which filled Pennsyl-
vania avenue with q river of fight
ing men and steel for two solid days
in 1865, was nearing the close Of q
glorious history and that very soon
it would be no more.
Although those who marched today
were the youngsters of the Civil War
their average age was less than 81
when the war ended-they made what
probably will be their last march in
the National Capital today, bent be-
meath the weight of long years. Some
were still erect and soldierly, but
many of them were feeble and, al
though less than TOO of them were in
the column, it required little more
than an hour for them to get into
line and head into the Avenue under
a blazing sun. .
That sun took its toll Of the old
