MUSIC AND WORK

At children's musicals I like to
hear
The well-trained pieces which
the people cheer;
The piano, mandolin or choral
song,
The fruit of practice, tedious and
long.
With hair beribboned, crimped
like angel crowns.
And daintily CARRIED in plated
creamy gowns,
Like spirit form of Fra An
gelico
Across the stage you silent come
and 60
With non-like poise, so sanity,
staid and slow.
| prefer to see you at work
Than at all the musical shows,
To behold your embroidery, girls,
Or to find you darning your
clothes.
In your starches and Immaculate
MILDLY.
In your Navy-blue skirt, each
kiddy
In checkered pinafore
A-mopping clean the floor
With curly head turbaned in
cloth
busting the dust specks away,
With fingers so daintily ringed
Sweeping some small room each
day.
If a picture were taken of her,
1t would advertise more than
Dutch Cleanser who'soId:
It would furnish an ad that
would pay
Oh, much more than the twins
of the Dust that IS Gold.
The housewife so young in time
will become
The woman that's strong of Gods
sacred word.
Her husband will bless the fruit
of her hands,
The praise from her sons for her
works shall be heard.

Song of the Skillet

Did you see the shiny metal
Heaped up on the Court House
pave?
1t kept coming in by cart loads
Thus to help the nation save,
And to beat the Hitler forces
Should they come up DER the sea,
Gross the wide and briny ocean
To destroy our country, free.
Oh, you pots and pans, | see you
Ready now to do your bit
In the struggle that's before us
1t will take our every wit
If we want to beat the Nazis;
When their bombers come in
sight,
Wen be ready then to greet them
Wen be filled up full of fight.
Thus, you see, each pan and griddle
Pot, and what not, thrown away
Will soon be dazzling sea ship
For defense from DER the way
Double duty will these skillets
Serve from out the kitchen, yea,
They have cooked for man his din
ner,
Now will join the 'big ARRAY"
So we hail thee, little saucepan,
Though your cooking days are out
Yet there's plenty work awaiting
You in service all about
While you're piled high on a junk
heap
Here and there, up to the sky,
Just be patient little teapot,
You'll be flying by and by

WESTERN MARYLAND
POLITICS

Republican as well as Democratic
party leaders in Western Maryland
are getting uneasy over the con-
tinued shift of the voting population
to Montgomery county due to the
influx of war workers, who are
registering as Democrats.
Their worry is we'll founded. For
more than 70 years, Allegany coun-
ty with few exceptions, has furnish
ed the Congressman from the
Sixth District. The late Col. Geo.
A. Pearre and Frederick N. Zihl-
man Republicans, were returned to
office for five terms each, while
David J. Lewis was elected for six
terms. This explains why Walter
Johnson, Montgomery County Re-
publicans. lost Allegany county,
three years ago and why A. Chas.
Stewart mace suCh a good run IN
both Allegany and Garrett, Counties
against him in the p"imarv.
Montgomery county, as is we
known. has been a tremCr GOuS
registration of Democratic voters
in the last few years greater than
Washington and Fl &c erick COM
bined. In other VIC DIS. the W.T.
ern Maryland politicians fear thai
if Montgomery county names and
elects one of it's sons to Congress,
a yC ar hence, it will hold the office,
1nd the West end of the State will
literally become the tail of the
Democratic dog.
The Democratic "Kincmakers"
of Allegany and Washington coun-
ties also Frederick are we'll aware
of the rise Of Farmer" Casey of
Gaithersburg, and that he may hive
something to say next year, when
the Congressional nomination is
made from the Sixth District.

The only criticism being direct
ed to katharine's office these
days is the result of badly-handIed
publicity, some of which is kick
ing back. Apparently someone
close to her is dishing out this
publicity with the idea that it is
"cute" when in reality it is caus-
ing her harm. But even that, |
am convinced, will be stopped
when she catches up with the

This and That: A member of
the Board of County Commission
ers hit the ceiling this week
when he learned that in the re-
duction of the NYA personnel
the director furIoughed local en-
ployees and retained native of
Pennsylvania; Hancock is now
debating very serious problem
whether or not to install parking
meters. - Last week we referred
to Richard Miller, deposed care
taker of the Court House Comfort
Station, as leader of the Colored
Republican Club, when as you
and both know he is President
and one of the organizers of the
Uptown Democratic Club. Miller
has always been an Organization
Democrat and the mistake of
listing him in the Republican
column was really bad. But that
also brings up a point that even
you can answer: How will the
Uptown Democratic Club feel
about this dismissal, if and when
the present members of the City
Administration aspire to succeed
themselves.

could pick up, and what we'd have
to pay monthly to own it in seven
or eight years?
If you've been paying $85 month
for city apartment for IS years
you've paid away SIS, 1000 for nothing.
That is, nothing permanent. That
sum would buy you an enchanting
farm of perhaps a hundred acres;
I have seen delightful old places,
with old brick houses on them,
and streams, and elms, and fruit
and view and woodland for one-half
of that sum.
Age Brings Different Interests.
OF course you weren't interested
when the children were small, and
schools and dancing lessons and den
fist and shops and doctor were all
important, and had to be within inn
mediate reach.
But it's different now. Now you
want to think of the quieter years,
of puttering in the garden, of read
ing by an open fire, of having the
few old friends you really love down
for real hospitality and sending
them home with arms full of lilac
and jars of strawberry preserve and
huckleberry branches.
Now you want to think of the
grandchildren, or the grandnieces
and nephews, who are very stiff UNI
communicative little persons in the
sittingroom of a town apartment, but
who will come rioting out to you
gladly for the happiest holidays their
small childhood will know if you give
them chance.
The places you look at, by the
way, will be picturesque outside and
ruins within. You'll have to re-
model by degrees; bathroom this
year; brick terrace next; electric
Light whenever the company runs
line out that way. But all that is
part of the fun, and if you buy a
place with real crop on it, and a
tenant farmer, your taxes will be
paid from the beginning.
A Real Home.
And when you've finished you
have home, a place whose windows
and stairways reflect yourselves,
your likes and fancies; q place
where superbly scornful cat sleeps
on fireside bench, and big dog
draws himself up to welcome you
when you come in. A place in
whose garden you have perspired
and painted and all but broken your
back in the spring sunshine, and un-
der whose oaks you've had many
summer supper. A place whose
sunrises and sunsets, whose glori-
GUS winter storms and spring bios
SONS belong all to you.
All small children ought to live in
such a place, and all aging folk.
The cities, the excitement and pres
sure and strain, the shops and
movies and taxis and beauty par
lors, the competition and struggle,
these belong between the ages of
fifteen to forty; they are good, and
they belong to our normal American
life.
But they aren't the best of it. The
best of it is to reach the age when
you may pause to discover a hum
dred likes and hobbies for your
self; discover that you like outdoor
cooking; that you like to dress in
peasant dirnd1s or old Chinese cot
tons; that you like raising ducks;
that you feel gloriously young after
an hours woodchopping, or helping
in the hay field.
incidentally, the chief discovery
you may make is the companion.
the enthusiastic partner and admir-
er and assistant you have IN the old
man.

Der of ways of solving this prob
lem by attempting to put out the
fire."
The between ths-liness reader
will find a great deal of grave
food for Thought M this: In
Washington 4tedsy6 the feeling is
that it viii be but afaeteF Of
time, and probably short time
at that, before we are conveying
British merchant shipping. Our
virtual annexation of Greenland
for military purposes indicates
the way the wind blows. Green
land offers potential naval and
air bases to patrol and control
vast Atlantic area. Then, some
think, it will not be much longer
before our fighting craft, sur
face, underSea and air, may have
to be used to ferret out and de-
stroy U-boat supply and rest sta
tions. AS everyone knows, the
British navy jhst isn't big enough
to control all the seas where Brit
ish interests exist. 1t is no Sc
cret that British strategists are
confident that we will help, as
part of our about aid program.
! Big question is, How far can
we go before Hitler declares, war
, on us? No one but Hitler himself
can answer that. 1t is believed
that Hitler would think twice bes
fore forcing a state of war be-
tween the Reich and the us, for
the obvious reason that the war
declaration would be at once fol-
lowed by Executive and Congress
sional acts to speed up our arms
production to point beyond that
possible when we are at peace.
Some even think that there could
be actual shooting between US
and German ships without a COM
plete severance of diplomatic re-
lations.
| All of this, however, belongs in
the realm of speculation, and the
future will supply the answers.
Next step is likely to be passage
of a law under which the Presi-
dent can buy and turn over to
the British, the Axis and Danish
ships recently seized under lit
tie known 1917 statute making
! sabotage of any vessel in Ameri-
can waters a felony. The White
House has been completely mum
so far as talking about conveying
is concerned, but almost all COM
mentators think it will come when
the time is ripe.
In the meantime, it is reported
that considerable amounts of
goods are piling on New York
wharves, for lack of bottoms to
take them to England That is
the toughest problem the all-aid
program faces at the moment.
