KINDRED
Arthur L. Salmon

l never see dog in the street
Without kindly word to greet,
Or pass a cat upon my way
Without some friendly thing to say;
And generally the dog replies
With friendliness of tail and eyes.
And pussy frequently will purr,
Permitting me to fondle her,
Or if a patient horse | see
I'm proud to greet him, 'Hullo,
Gee!"
Perhaps he simply looks at me,
Or stirs hoof, and winks an ear.
To show he likes the word of cheer.
There is so much want to say,
Not simply wishing them good-day
| want to tell them how | care
For what they feel and what they
bear;
/ want to drive the message in
That they and | are really kin,
And that the virtues they can claim
Must often put my pride to shame;
And tell them, in my human way
I'd like to be as good as they.

new cases OF infantile paralysis
were reported in Georgia for the
week ended July 8, and that there
had been marked increases in cases
of the disease in Alabama. Missis-
sippi and other Southern States.
So far this year five. cases have

patient, a 14-year-old boy, died last
Saturday. For the same period last
year there were four cases and no
deaths. One later case last year
proved fatal in December.

trace sources of the disease, particu-
larly when the cases are mild, be-
cause nature of the ailment often is
not recognized.
DR.. Dauer advised ill persons TO
consult physician, and that others
avoid close contact with persons
suffering from stomach disorders

Two cases of poliomyelitis, one of
which proved fatal, were recorded
in the District last week, and

Health Officer George c. Rutland

The health officer said the situa-

believed there has been an increase
of cases of infantile paralysis in
this area recently. For this reason,
he said, agents of the District

"close watch" on the situation. par

Heaven Help Hitler if Poles
Or Czechs Get Him, Shaw Says
AnqIo-Soviet-U. 5.
Coalition vii! Defeat
Nozis, He Believes
By SHELAH GRAHAM.

Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
North American Newspaper Alliance.
LONDON, July rs. Thy wireleSs) -
I called on George Bernard Shaw in
the country to talk about his 85th
birthday anniversary today and
found there is one subject on which
Shaw will not talk, just one-birth-
days. He losthes them.
The last time Shaw really cele-
brated a birthday anniversary was
Is years ago. At that time he was
presented with scroll which he
forgot to take home with him. Since
then the subject has been avoided as
much as possible and now at the
ripe age of IS is completely taboo.
I talked with Shaw in the study
Of his country house miles from
London. In spite of his fighting
words, his still keen blue eyes and
strong, flowing white beard. Shaw
looked frail, and I was warned that
the interview must be brief. We
talked of the war, Russia, politics
and Hitler.
Have you any suggestions as to
what should be done with Hitler
when England has defeated Ger
many?" l asked Shaw.
The Germans may have settled
that before the defeat is consum-
mated" he replied. What is more,
Hitler will be defeated if at all by
the British Commonwealth. plus the
U. S. A.. plus the U. S. S. r.. and
they will all have say in the
matter.
IF he falls into our hands we
shall have to keep him in protective,
and perhaps preventive. custody. We
can do no worse to him because
We declared war on him, not he on
us. Thus he must be treated by
us as a prisoner of war. But If the
Poles or Czechs get hold of him
first. heaven nelp him.
No Change in Glasses.
Since I arrived in England and
before I left the United States
there has been much talk of closer
union of different classes in Britain
as a result of common danger. Here
is what Shaw says on the subject:
There is no change. Nowadays
England is like America. The di-
vision is between incomes and the
test is intermarriage. The daughter
of a duke can seek husband at
a ball given by a millionaire shop
keeper and her brother can seek
a rich wife there When l was a
child shopkeepers and dukes could
not be on speaking terms except
across a counter, but class division
is more unSurmountable than ever
because the extremes of income are
farther apart
In my youth s50.O0O was wealth
beyond the dreams of avarice.
