Poem To Roosevelt
Local Rhymer Praises
The President

Gus Boyer, Seattle's Rhymer,
who can write a poem on the spur
of the moment relative to any SUBJ
ject nameable, has just received a
letter from M. H. Mcintyre, Secre-
tary to the President. The Presi-
dent instructed Mr.. Mcintyre to
thank Mr.. Boyer for his kind
thoughts sent in prose.
Mr.. Boyer did not send us CO.
Ply of the poem but sent the letter
he received in return. Gus has
rhymed about the Elks, the Owls,
the Caravan to Baltimore, and a
number of other things of local in
terest, so don't be surprised if he
sings the praises of the Sultan of
Timbuctoo, or of Aga Kahn.

Of this community importation
and how we could facili tate and ex-
pedite matters. There has been very
favorable progress toward this end
during the last so days, but there is
yet much to be accompli she'd. There are
q certain number Of individuals who
yet retard this progress. There are
those individuals who would have one
cooperate toward O better food store,
q better medical service, etc., but
yet they themselves refuse to cooper
ate in order that we may have better
transportation with more economi cal
operation. We refer to those individ-
uels who yet insist carrying pass
engers to snd from Washington in their
private automobi les for compensation.
This practice may be considered
trary to I.C.C. regulations and carries
certain penalties. For the tire being
this practice is taking certain monies
from our city budget in order to guar
antee losses in the operation Of our
buses. This condition affects each
end every citizen Of Greenbelt in
that these monte expended can be
used for something else toward the
operation Of our local government end
for the bettorment Of our community.
Pefore action is taken to lay this
compla int, formally, before the Inter-
state Commerce COMM ISL on we wi sh to
take this opportunity in explaining
the 81 tuati ion to every one and only
hope they will see the correct side
Of the issue and that they will i'm

such time when these individuals con-
ce~ned will cooperate toward this end,
Just then We can proceed toward better

they are enamored that the
Beloved is just one more object
that ministers to their own self

the man because he spends lib

makes her envied by other girls.
And the man wants the girl
because she is pretty, is a good
dresser. He likes to be seen
with her. She's his show case.
And so it goes.
The trouble with these people
Is that they do not realize the

Miss Henie learned to skate

Dear Barbara:
It may be advisable for you to
omit the eyeShadow but it can
be applied high on the eyelid.
The shadow detracts from the
size Of the eyes, but a little pow
der will make them seem larger.
Never use the shadow or even
mascara on the lower lids.

Hesitate
To Experiment
Members Of the club in ques-
ton are not especially interested
in getting married. Indeed, as
the girls all make fairly good
salaries and have very good
times, they're afraid of giving
up a certainty for something
that is as uncertain as marriage
sometimes is.
The young lady writes: "You
must have had thousands Of let
tiers from husbands and wives,
unhappy people who are either
divorced or on the point of get
ting a divorce. What do you
think is the greatest source Of
unhappiness in married life?"
Without any hesitation what
ever, I can sum up the question
in one word - SELFISHNESS.
Just plain, everyday, common or
garden selfishneSS causes the
wreck of more marriages than
infidelity, drinking, failure to
provide, or what we call incom-
patibility of temperament.
Selfishness wears down, like
an emery wheel, all those things
which make comradship endur-
able-forbearance, admiration,
love.

Should a
Wife Work?

Dear Sir: What do you think
Of woman working after mar
riage? If the man is able to
support her, don't you think she
should be at home? Don't you
think there is more harmony in
the family If the man alone sup
ports his wife and family? I
want your HONEST opinion
Doris"
You shall have an honest an
swer to your question. There are
q great many fancy trimmings
that may be added to your ques-
ton. But I feel they belong in
the class of exception.
There are many women
forced by circumstances to
work for their own and, in
many cases, their children's liv-
ing. But if I were a wife, I
would fight to the last ditch be-
fore accepting the burden. I
wouldn't work if my husband
were hale and hearty or even in
moderate i'll health. I'd let him
have the glory of being the
bread winner and would let him
know just how important he was
In that job.
I would never let him get used
to the idea of a double family
pay envelope not even to
buy a home, send junior through
college or to get a car. I would
inspire him to think 1t was up
to him to get these things for
me and would do my bit at
home to help in that way.
Family Life
Comes First
I wouldn't deny him and my
self a child through taking a
Job that would make having
children impossible. Even
though were the worlds worst
housekeeper I wouldn't let that
be an excuse. BY hook or crook
I would manage to make some
kind of a home for both of us,
and would consider my end
of the partnership the keeping
Of that home, not part time, but
as a full-time Job.
If circumstances arose which
indicated I ought to get out and
work, you may be sure I would
analyze them to Sc if may be I
were not being tricked into be-
coming an employed wife. Many
women are and innocently fall
into the trap without putting
up a fight.
I hope those poor souls who
have to work because Of the ILL
ness of their husbands, will for
give my TRADE. have the great
est sympathy for them. I know
that, while they glory in the
ability to grab off a pay en-
velope, deep in their hearts they
have days when every feminine
fiber in them rebels at the neceS-
sity of going out to business in
stead of staying home and being
just wives and homemakers.
These are reasons enough
without going into the economic
one of having the jobs for
single women who need them.
