Selected Poem
SALUTE TO SWEDEN
Eleanor G. R. Young in the Christ
 Science Monitor)

Eleanor G. R. Young in the Christian
 Science Monitor) How loud the guns sound on the Delaware! It was not so three hundred years ago; Instead of this bright, noisy festival This friendly crowd, this gay expectancy, Only the forests, under June sky And still group of wondering Indians Waited in silence on this very shore While small vessel battered by the gales Of many months spent on pounding sea- Found safe and welcome harborage at last So came the Swedes to settle this land This fertile land along the Delaware! At Hopokahacking treaties were drawn up Treaties of friendship and enduring peace Always the Minquas and the Lenapes Looked on the Swedish settlers with delight: Here were strong men who had no mind to drive The hunted Indian from his native hills: Men whose few words honest and sincere: Men who toiled long, from dawn to setting sun: Who reared long-houses, leveed off the land: Who looked upon the red-men their friends And taught them lessons from the precious Book: Men who feared God and loved their fellowman Let the guns roar their laundering salute: Welcome, O Swedish travellers, to this shore!"

This is a subject which will be argued for years to come. There are those who believe the parochial school is entitled to it's fair share of the state grants in view of the fact that parents of such school children are taxpayers as much as fath- CTS and mothers of public school children. And in our own state the argument is carried to the point where it is pointed out that parochial school students are included in the enumeration on which annual grants are based. In New York State this spring an effort was made to get free transportation for parochial school pupils. The battle will rage for long time

New Hampshire has bordered on Can ada at the north for long time now. But in all those years the state never has had a Canadian port of entry. By dint of some CCC cooperation it will have one shortly. The boys are extending the Dan- iel Webster Highway at the second Con- necticut Lake right into Canada. A port of entry will be created on the boundary line. The road itself is a scenic one, penetrating dense wilderness in many spots. No signs of habitation are found for miles.

EXCEPTION TO THE CODE
(NeW Haven Register)

(New Haven Register)
 One section of the National Flag Code reads as follows:
 When used in unveiling a statue or a monument, the flag should not be allowed to fall to the ground but should be carried aloft to wave out, forming a distinctive feature"
 An account of the unveiling of the peace monument at Gettysburg on the Fourth reads as follows:
 Each of these veteran cavalry men was handed the end of rope, the other end of which was attached to a corner of the huge flag. At a signal they each tugged on their ropes and the flag fell to the base of the monument, exposing its white surface to the sunlight"

 But right now that seems to be just about the only chance. Flying Colonel
 A mysterious caller who routed Colonel J. M. (Rowboat) Johnson, assistant secretary of commerce, out of bed at 2:30 the other morning was one of his own sub- ordinates.
 The idea of the hoax was to make the colonel feel uncom- f0rtabIe about his use for pri- vate trips of the $85,000 Lock- heed plane built for official use of the Bureau of Air Commerce. Until year ago, Colonel John- son made free with this plane for his personal use, but follow ing an expose in The Merry GO-Round, he stayed on the ground.
 Last weekend he planned an- other trip in 1t, to his home state, South Carolina. Hearing of this, one of his subordinates deter mined to set off c firecracker un- der the colonel. At 2:30 a.. m. he called the Shoreham hotel, where Johnson lives, and asked for his apartment.
 Johnson, who was planning to take off at 2 o'clock in the morn- ing, came sleepily to the tele- phone.
 Disgusting his voice and pre- tending to be newspaper man, the subordinate said, Colonel, I understand you are taking your last trip in the Bureaus plane. When you come back, you will be taken over by the Civil Aeronautics Authority. Have 8 good time."
 Johnson departed anyway-by plane.
 Government Life-Saver
 One of the most interesting per- sonalities to come to Washington in many months is Edward J. Noble, who, although a Republi- can has just been named head of the new Civil Aeronautics Authority.
 Noble had scarcely been heard of when appointed to his new job though the produce which made him fortune is known through out the world.
 A New York advertising man, Noble some years ago conceived the idea of selling candy with holes in it. His friends told him he was crazy, that the venture was doomed to failure. But Life Savers" now are an institution.
 From Life-Savers, Noble got control of an important chain of drug stores, finally sold out to put part of his money in boys home and devote the rest of his life to public service. He is 56 years old and has indicated that he would like to spend the remainder of his years working with and for the government.

TOXIC MAY DRAFT
JAPANESE mus.
N ationaI Mobi|izing Bill
Contains Authority,
Pamphlet Shows.
By WILFRED FLEISHER,

New York Herald-Tribune Correspondent.
TOXIC, May IS Sunday The
Japanese government may draft sub
jects Of the empire residing abroad
and compel them to engage in gen
eral mobilization enterprises" under
the provisions of the national mo-
bilization bill, 1t is revealed In an
official pamphlet issued by the war
department here, explaining the bill
approved by the Diet at its last ses-
sion and already partially enforced by
a series of imperial ordinances issued
early this month.
Some Of the provisions of the ma
tional mobilization bill, such as Articles
~ and v, are applicable to Japanese
subjects residing abroad, the army
pamphlet states, provided that the
steps to be taken by the Japanese gov
eminent do not violate the sovereign
rights of the foreign countries in
which Japanese subjects are resident"
Draft Is Authorized.
Articles Nv and v Of the national
mobilization bill empower the govern
ment in wartime, including an lin
cident" such as the present undeclared
war with China, to draft subjects of
the empire to work in any Of the many
mobilization enterprises of the gov
eminent. These two important ar
ticles read as follows:
Article YIN wartime, when 1t is
found necessary for national general
mobilization, the government may, in
accordance with the provisions of an
imperial ordinance, draft subjects of
the empire and cause them to be en-
gagged in general mobilization enter
prises. Application of the conscrip-
ton law, however, is not to be inter-
ferred with.
Article YIN war time, when it is
found necessary for national general
mobilization the government may. in
accordance with the provisions of an
imperial ordinance, cause subjects
OF the empire, juridical persons of the
empire, and other bodies, to Cooper
ate in conducting general mobiliza-
ton enterprises by the nation or local
