Selected Poem
DON'T STAY LATE TONIGHT"

Author not known-From a scrapbook-
 Boston Post Reprint) The hearth of home is beaming With rays of holy light, And loving eyes are beaming
 AS fall the shades of night; And while thy steps are leaving The circle pure and bright, A tender voice half grieving The world in which thou movest Is busy, brave and wide; The world of her thou lowest
 Is at the ingle side; She waits for thy warm greeting; Thy smile is her delight; Her gentle voice entreating
 Says, Don't stay late tonight" The world-bold and :nhuman- Will spurn thee if thou fall; The love of one pure owman Outlasts and shames them all; The children will cling round thee, The children will lingetaoinshrdlucmf r Let fate be dark or bright; At home no shaft can wound thee, Then Don't stay late tonight"

A Book a Day
Gives up His Home to Go with Gypsies
 BY BRUCE CATION

If the mere word, "gypsy", has for you 8 connotation of unspeakable romance and a breath of joyous freedom, you will get great deal of enjoyment out of Edgcumb Pin chon's new novel, Until I Find" (Knopf: $2.5O. If. on the other hand, gypsies leave you rather cold, you are apt to find the book slightly over written and tedious.
 Being soft touch for stories about gypsies, I liked the book ever so much. It tells about an English lad who grows up on the edge of the New Forest, in Hampshire, 8 strain of gypsy blood flowing in his own British veins, with ttinerart gypsies for his playmates. Under these circumstances the lad grows up intolerant of the re- straints of ordered society. When his family moves to the adjacent Isle of Wight, this trait takes com- mand and leads him to adventure.
 His adventure is really mild enough; a rebellion against school and parental discipline which leads him to run away to gypsy camp. But before he gets through, he is riding 8 stolen horse up and down and across the island, fleeing from the police and the kings troopers, sleeping in the open, and having the gay and exciting sort of time his spirit loves.
 The books close finds him se- ceding from society outright, ship ping off for Spain with raggle- taggIe gang of rowing horse trad CTS, and getting an enormous kick out of 1t.
 As say, unless you go for gyp- sies this may seem . trifie silly to you. But the book is alvie with color and movement, with love of the open fields and empty horizons. An exhilarating breeze blows through its pages.

Bank street from Meadow over to the Naugatuck River bridge is in need of immediate repair. The winter raised havoc with this stretch of thoroughfare. And the repairs that have been made since are not standing up under the amount of heavy traffic passing along the street. Sooner or later some perma- nent work will have to be done to make the roadway safe for travel.

Fairy Godfathers


 In "The Great Ziegfeld," it is shown how the late, Great Glori- fer made Anna Held into the stage queen of America. And among contemporary artists, it seems to me, the female is just as reliant up- on the smart male of the species.
 Kate Smith, to name one, was a nice, rotund, affable songstress in George White Plying High" until she was discovered by be- spectacled Ted Collins, an obscure talent scout. He became her man. ager, exploited her voice, charm and avoirdupois, and boosted her to fame and wealth.
 Oracle Allen was an unknown vaudeville performer until she met George Burns. They formed team and in the beginning, Burns told the jokes, Oracle play ed the "foil." But soon Burns be- came aware of Gracie's comic flare, retreated to the background and let her take the laughs. You know the result.
 Nor would Portland Hoffa's namc have become a household name, had not Fred Allen moved her into the lime-light.

handle the other tackle assignment.

Makofske Plays on Birthday.

EOR the third straight game, a
Cardinal gridder will be playing
on his birthday. This time it is Bob
Makofske, the hard running full back.
1t is also the birthday Of his roomie
and rival for the fullback post, Red
Orth. Orth, however, will not be
available for tomorrow's conflict as he
is suffering from leg injury. The
sad part Of Orth's inability to play
against De Paul is the fact that his
dancee, Miss Ruth Richter, will attend
the battle.
Few changes will be made in the
starting lineup of the Flying Cardi-
nal team tomorrow. At quarterback
position Dixie Walker is slated to take
over the post held by Spec Foley the
last two weeks. Foley is not in the
best Of shape, and it is believed that
Coach Dutch Bergman will give the
former Tech High fash rest, unless
absolutely needed. In this event,
Walkers substitutes probably will be
Don Kincaid, the promising looking
sophomore, and Max Brinkman, the
senior, who prepped at Tech High

But it's better profession for the

Of playing big time pro ball are harder

Mara said that both Ken Strong and
Harry Newman, who since have left
the club, were paid over $40 900 by the
Giants last year, but that the system
of paying them 50 much more than
the other members Of the squad did not
work out.
Jay Berwanger wanted guarantee
Of $4,000 a year for two years to play

he probably would be the best drawing

was willing to guarantee that much.
