 While it is true that smallpox has been fought to standstill, and no longer constitutes the menace 1t used to be, still 1t crops up often enough to make protection distinct ly worth while, and unusual emerg- ency conditions may occur at any time that would start an epidemic if protection were not instantly available,

ton against it which science knows how to give.
 Smallpox used to be quite com- mon in the north country, and the scared faces of older people are a reminder to those who do not re- member the disease itself, as many do not who have been reared in communities where protection is universal.
 Modern methods of preparing ser- um practically eliminate any chances of infection, danger of the earliest days of vaccination.
 But doctors like myself, whose practice goes back 30 years, remem- Der smallpox all too well. During an outbreak of the dreaded disease, I used to take the parish priest along

Knowing that the Dionne quin- tuplets are now immune from both diphtheria and smallpox makes all of us breathe easier at the hospital, for despite all our precautions against infection being brought in from the outside, there is always such a possibility. From such dang CTS, we now may be sure the quins are just as safe as medical science can make them. Surely we could do no less than that.
 When similar protection is avail able to every child in the world, as I hope some day it will be, then we can all feel safer and be glad that we have at least done what we know how to do to insure life and death for the worlds babies.

FLOCK OF CARDINALS

Each tiny throat is like a magic flute That charms with minstrelsy the rising Adown turquoise road where love is won, And each impassioned song becomes mute The droning bees whisp'ring to the trees Where buttercups and liacs brilliant dyes Sparkle with shining dewdrops from fair skies Of sapphire blue and soft is mornings breezel
  Their plaintive lay message to the Spring That sounds with eagerness across the green .. Then all is quiet in the great unseen Until hear the flutter of wing The sweet caprice of Springtime's gentle ways Leads on perchance. to loves sweet courtng days.

Well over century they've sung his praises, History presenting him in various phases. The war for Independence gave him his chance For fame as a soldier and general to enhance. surveyor and panner, too, was this man, Thorough him the nations capital began. His name is legend in biography and story And they've managed to leave him most Of his glory Though the cherry tree story is often given the lie, One enjoys just the same the patriotic cherry pie So today as always let's give a hand To G. eN, the first president of our land.

Howl Became a Radio Star
BY KATE SMITH

If Ted Collins, my partner ana manager, hadn't missed the New York train he expected to catch one night in l930 at the conclusion of a business trip to Washington, and to kill time dropped into theatre to see the musical comedy Flying High," l might not have been a radio star today. ,,, q,
 I was playing in Flying High" in a song-dance routine, and Ted, an executive of New York record ing firm, figured had some talents that he could bring out if given a chance.
 He asked for an interview back stage after the evening performance, and wasted no time telling me what was on his mind. He told me his confidence in my abilities was such that he was willing to stake his fu- ture on mine. That was the begin ming of our association which has grown into a capitalized business in which we share as partners, though we have never signed contracts or partnership papers and never shall.
 My first venture in singing out side the show business, once l was in New York, was with Ted's re- cording company. Naturally, l con tinued with my work in Flying High," though 1t was our intention to cut loose from the theatre and concentrate on radio as soon as il appeared practicable.

and I took the opportunity to fade gracefully out of the picture: To make it look good in print, Ted and I gave out that l was taking brief vacation" But when l left New York on night train for Washington, figured that it was for good.
 However, I'd not much more than settled back with resigned air to the business of being retired" though still in my early Juveniles, when a wire from New York brought me back to Manhattan in quick-step time.
 Ted's faith in my abilities had at last been justified. I was to have show of my own. That was in 1851 and, except for summer holidays, I've been on the air ever since in everything from fifteen minute spots to full hour productions such as the Thursday night show I have now on the WABC- Columbia network.
 Whatever hold have on my pub- lie, think, is due to my constant endeavor to cover the field of song appeal in each of my programs. However, of the torrid, topical, and memory songs which dot each one, the latter are far and away the most popular.
