In response to our editorials in
the last two editions enc Of our con-
tributors has submit tied the following
poem whi eh was clipped from the Wash
ington Post. Thank you j. G. X.
GOSSIP TOWN
Have you ever heard Of Gossip Town,
On the shore Of Falsehood Bay,
Where old Dome Rumor, WI tn rustling gown
Is going the livelong day?
1t isn't far to Gossip Town,
For people who want to go,
The Idleness train will take you down,
In just hour so.
The Thoughtless road is q popular route,
And most folks start that way,
But it's steep down grade; if you don't
look out,
You'll land in Falsehood Bay.
Greenbelt cooperator. (Greenbelt, Md.) 1937-1954, 1938-02-16

You glide through the valley Of Vicious
Folk,
And into the tunnel Of Hate,
Then crossing the Add-to Bridge, you walk
Right into the city gate.
The principal street is called They-Say,
And I've Heard is the public we'll,
And the breezes that blow from Falsehood
Bay
Are laden wi tn Don 't-You-Tell.
In the midst Of the town is Telltale Park
For it's owner is Madam Suspicious Remark,
Who lives on the street Don't Care.
Just back Of the park is SANDERS Row,
TWAS there Good Name died,
Pierced by dart from Jealousy's bow,
In the hands Of Envi Gus Pride,
From Gossip Town Peace long since fled,
But Trouble, Grief. and Woe,
And Sorrow and Care YOU IL meet instead,
If you ever chance to go.---Anonymous.

Try the burning test" if you want

advises the Consumers Guide, pub
LEGATION of the Consumers Counsel
Division of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration.
Touch a light to a few threads OF
the fabric. If it blazes up quickly,
it's cotton. If it shoulders slowly
away, you've purchased linen.
Notice a thread of the fabric after
it is broken. A cotton thread goes
limp and its ends spread out in all
directions, Linen threads stay some
what erect and the fibers cling to-
eether when a thread is snapped,
The oil test is OK. if you're com

AID BILL DRAFTED
FOR RAIL WORKERS
Wagner and Crosser Write Plan
to Give Jobless Insurance
to 100000 EMPLOYEES.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New
York and Representative Crosser,
Democrat, of Ohio drafted legislation
today to give 100000 railroad work.
ers an unemployment insurance sys.
tenn of their own.
Advocated by the Railroad Labor
Executives Association, the bill would
lay 3 per cent tax on pay envelopes
of $500 month or less, to be paid by
the carriers.
Any employe earning as much as
$3.50 year would be eligible to benefits
ranging from SITS to SO a day for 80
days.
The bill would remove railroad en-
ployes from the various State unem-
ployment insurance plans. which rail-
road labor contends do not adequately
cover railroad workers whose employ
ment is interstate. 1t probably will
be introduced in the Senate and House
tomorrow.
