/ like new things. but gardens must be old,
With ancient trees that make q roof of shade
Long planted bushes coming summer gold,
And howcr-feet that stray where paths are laid
like new thingg--all but the panoply
OF ancient flower worlds against the blue
Where seed and tree were making ~ for me
A hundred years before ever knew
I'd have 1t set 10 far from paying-t tones
Echoes would sound with a leaf finttering:
And should only count the days by tones,
The reddening fall, the snow the green OF spring

pLOJCNV.
Morgan's term still has five
years to run, and II he refuses TO
20 there is no way Of forcing him
out, short of abolishing his once.
But White House insiders, who
know what they are talking about,
privately predict that he will soon
depart.
II Morgan doesn't quit, 1t won't
be because Of lack OF encourage
ment.
The president Is displeaSed with
him. Senator George Norris, father
Of the IVA, publicly rebuked Nor
gan q few days ago, and Morgans
two iva colleagues have been at
loggerheads with him for months.
Three Reasons WHY
The inner administration re-
sentiment against Morgan and the
desire TO get rid Of him has three
causes:
az His truculent espousal OF
the power pool scheme. This
plan, under which private and
iva power production would be
pooled and operated by a joint
management, Is vehemently OPP
posed by Norris and administra-
ton liberals. The president has
taken no public stand on the
bitterly controversial issue, and
LIS deeply panied with Morgan
over his insistence on waging a
determined drive for the pro-
posal even though 1t Is not a
White House policy.
(2) Morgan's friendlmcss
with certain potent power rep
resentatiyes. Louis b. Wehle.
New York corporation lawyer
and a leading advocate OF the
pool plan, has been intimate
with Morgan for months.
(3) Morgan's violent jealousy
of Harcourt A. Morgan and
David A. LiJienthaL the other
two IVA directors, and his in
ability TO work with them In
harmony. M. .....
ODSeSSlOn
Morgans hostility TO, his two
colleagues amounts TO an obses-
sion.
He has accused them Of con-
spring against him, Of falling TO
give him tn erespcct due his posi-
ton, and Of being Impractical en-
thusfaSts."
Last spring, when Lilienthal was
UP for disappointment, Morgan
went to the president and threat
cned to resign II his younger col
league was renamed. Roosevelt
gave Lilienthal a new nine-year
term, but Morgan did not quit.
Last Straw
While disguised with Morgan's
attitude, Norris and the admins
tration liberals overlooked this
because OF their belief In his sim
cerity.
His persistent and militant
espousaI Of the power pool and
his friendIiness with utility
leaders, however, aroused their
anger and finally their active

The Carnegie Foundation has shifted
it's attention, temporarily no doubt, to
school examinations. In 183-page re-
port it belabors the old-style written
exams which are bright memories Of our
childhood days. New tests advocated in
the report are those involving ten to
fifteen questions and ones that can be
answered in a few words. Somehow or
other we never look back on our school
days as ones of drudgery. Yet that's the
common explanation of them by modern
educators, Perhaps we we're fortunate in
choice Of instructors. But at any rate we
don't think as much harm was done by
these tests as is indicated. If so, this
country today would be dotted with dot
tards. Maybe it is.

The Answer
President Sloan Of General Mo-
tors raised in his appeal to press,
public and q. M. workers the
question whether a labor organ
ization should run the plants OF
his corporation or whether the
management will continue to 90
so. 1t was question OF his own
raising since the labor organiza-
ton has not acked to run General
Motors business. Mr.. Sloan's an
swer TO his own query Is absent
but the inference Is that the man.

sultation or bargaining with rep

Franco May Use

Belligerent

Salamanca. Spain. July 6.-(U.P)
GeneraiiSsimo Francisco Franco
tonight threatened economic re-
priSals" against European powers
unless belligelent rights are
granted to his nationalist regime
Franco, in notes to the major
foreign powers, accused Britain
and France of intervention in
Spain on behalf of the Valencia
Loyalist government.
Britain and France last week
rejected an Italo-Gernan demand
that belligerent right-recogniz-
ing a formal state of war in Spain
and permitting blockade and seiz-
ure of foreign ships-be granted
to both Spanish factions.
1t was assumed that Francois
threat of economic reprisals" re-
ferred to Spanish minerals. Many
of the rich iron mines around Bill
bao which have been operated by
British interests are in Frances
hands. Before the outbreak Of the
civil war both Britain and France
were heavily dependent upon
Spanish ores.

The mad and apparently SEX

where the dismembered bodies of
two women were found; and a
lonely region on the west side. His

might lead to the solving of any
of the murders. Only two of the
victims have been identified. A

case for months, with no tangible
results.
Coroner S. R. Gerber said the
