A Susan B. Anthony postage stamp
will lend dignity to the national postal
service, as it glorifies the calm determi-
nation of feminine intellectually. Much
complaint has been offered concerning
the frivolity of the times. At least, the
frivolity is not so great as to permit
postal art to display pictures Of Mae
West and Sallie Rand.

Watching the lights of the town
Clean thru the shadowy, purple dusk

Cross the bridge with trailing cars,
And the headlights of motors streaming
Along the Speedway like stars.
Lamps glimmer behind and around me,
Seen thru tall trees Of the park.
All the glamorous lights of the city
Town stars, between dusk and dark.
The thrall of the city holds me,
I seek from 1t no release
For the heaven-nt dusk Of the country
Seems to mock me with its peace.
