POET FROST
VISITOR HERE.

he owed his success he very
wisely remarked, to the fact that
he did not swallow any of the
nails that he carried in his mouth
all day.
The members of his family
then made up their minds that
he should have a college educa
ton, so off he went to Dartmouth
and lasted about a year. 1t
wasn't because he was a bad
scholar-he was brilliant-but he
just did not like regular hours
and being forced to do some
thing. Later he went to Harvard
for two years, and afterwards
taught English at Pinkerton
Academy, Derry. N. H., but left
because he felt he was getting in
rut. He then did what he feels
was the best thing that ever hap
pened to him. He got his own
farm and farmed it himself. In
fact, he now has three of them,
the largest at South Shaftsburg,
Vermont.
It was while on a farm that he
wrote a great many of his works
which later were published.
Mr.. Frost first started writing
poetry at fifteen years of age and
sold the first one while he was
yet eighteen. His poems run
from 1892 through 1887, averag-
ing about ten year.
He has lived in many states
but his works are written about
places within a radius of fifteen
miles of Derry. N. H. His poems
portray everyday country life in
New England, partaking of the
dignity and serene beauty of the
hills among which his life has
been passed.
He is the author of such books
as "A Boys VIII North OF BoS-
tom, New Hampshire, 'West
Running Brook, Mountain In
tervaT' and Further Range.
In 1924 he was awarded the
Pulitzer Prize for Poetry.
All of his works are now avail
able in one large volume, with
"a new prose preface.
This is Robert Frost's third Wis
it to Key West and he loves it
here and hopes to come back
many more times. When asked
what he considered his finest
works he replied that they are
sprinkled throughout the years.
He did not say so but he probably
will continue to write, for a man
who has so many wonderful
memories just must put them
down in black and white for 9TH
ers to enjoy and to help them
recapture thoughts that will al
ways live.

On the question of old age as

HYDE PARK, N. Y. Sept. T.
Inter-American interests and do

restrictions against Argentine meats.

tell you, and I know it for a fact,
that there is an army, that was

D. {. Reorganization
Attempt Slated for
House Tomorrow
Long-Pending Measure
Seen as Having
Chance Of Approval
By JAMES E. CHINN.

A decision to attempt to put
through the House tomorrow long
pending bill to reorganize and mod
ernize the municipal government
of the District of Columbia was
reached at a conference last night
between Chairman Randolph of the
District Committee and Repre-
sentative Kennedy, Democrat, of
Maryland, sponsor of the legislation.
The reorganization measure has
been pending on the House calendar
since May 8 because heretofore it
has been regarded as too contro-
versial to call up for consideration.
House leaders had told both Chair
man Randolph and Mr.. Kennedy
that Congress was too engrossed
with national defense legislation to
consider local bill.
But after passage of the national
conscription bill last night, Chair
man Randolph and Mr.. Kennedy
were advised there would be no
objection to consideration of the
reorganization measure tomorrow
which is the regular District day
in the House-a day on which local
legislation is given the right of way.
Immediately plans were made to
call up Mr.. Kennedy's long-slumber-
ing bill.
Would Unity Departments.
Briefly, the bill would place the
present heterogeneous array of
agencies and bureaus under IL ad-
ministrative departments, increase
the powers of the District Commis-
