When the circus comes to town this
summer it will linger three days. This
will allow all to consider it leisurely and
to have a choice of days. There will be
less of a rush, but at the same time we
venture to say there will be capacity
crowds for each day of the circus. Cir
cuses are good for the morale at any time,
and right now when nerves are frayed
because of the current swift pace we are
travelling, the circus will be an excellent

Selected Poem
AN OLD MANS NIGHT
(By Anne Spainhour in the Poets Corner
in the Hartford Times)

(By Anne Spalnhour IN the POetS corner
in the Hartford Times)
In the fading light of the late spring day
The stopped, old man walked slowly home.
Above him burned one lonely star.
Somewhere, strange and far away,
His son was riding waves and FOAM
He wondered what great wars were for?
The old mans dreams were horrid things
AS black tongued war crept through his sleep
But overhead were sky and star,
And on his hills no roar of wings,
But only COWS and peaceful sheep,
Who cared not what great wars were for.
The old man woke and knew his room
The same as when his boy was young.
And through his window the same star
That often kept his heart from gloom.
He heard his wife grunt quick and strong,
Then grumble, What are such things for?'
The old man thought how many years
His sheep and crops had grown in peace.
Down through his window shone the star,
A brilliant spark that stilled his fears.
He did not know the whole worlds pleas
Were: What are wars made for?"

turing. Not being in interstate COM
merce, the service trades haven't
enjoyed the benefits of the Fair
Labor Standards Act
Now, with the manufacturing in
dustries grabbing every wage Garner
they can find and paying high
prices, they are attracting labor
away from the service trades, which
suffer and must curtail accordingly.
On top of that, the service trades
| aren't classified as essential indus
tries. Anyone working in a service
trade can't get deferment. Service
trade employers themselves can't
| get help from the U. S. Employment
Service in recruiting new workers
and they can't get help from the
War Manpower Commission in hav-
ing such help as they do have sta
bilized or frozen in their present
jobs, though the wage levels are
stabilized by War Labor Board.
PIRATING IN
WAR INDUSTRIES
War industries consequently raid
freely and pirate as they please on
the working forces of the service
trades, and there's nothing to stop
them.
Service trades are also at the
bottom of the list in getting addi-
tional machinery to take care of
the increased demands put upon
them by public with money in its
pockets to pay for services it form
erly did without. Manufacture of
laundry equipment, shoe repair
machinery, beauty shop parapher-
MALTA was virtually suspended
long time ago to save materials,
facilities and manpower going into
essential war materials.
The combination of these circum-
stances obviously leaves the service
trades buried under the economic
scrap pile. 1t has been foreseen,
and it has been inevitable that this
would happen sooner or later.
ABSENTEEISM
AND LAUNDRIES
Up to a short time ago, the serv-
ice trades were able to get by, but
now the pinch is beginning to be
felt all over the country, and that's
what the shouting is about. 1t is go
ing to get louder, and the swell
service you have been accustomed to
is bound to get worse. Before the
war is over, the service may be ter
rible
What the people In the business
OF supplying services to the public
are trying to do in the face of this
situation is to build up a case for
their essentially. In the case of
laundrles, the case runs that since
more women are working in indus
try, they haven't the time to do
their own washing, and must send
it to laundry. If they can't get
laundry service, they have to stay
home from work a couple of DAYS
week, and that increases absentee
ism in a war plant.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Once upon a time big shot
summoned me to his sanctum and
tried patiently to set me right about
a few fundamental principles of
hygiene, such as brushing the teeth
and keeping the feet cry. took it
pretty well until the old geezer de-
clared he never failed to take cold
if he ventured out without his rub
bers when the pavementS we're even
a little damp. That tore it.
After all, the old boy was prob
ably as earnest in his belief that
wet feet, drafts, dampness, sudden
changes of temperature or weather
or clothing cause or predispose to
illness as I am in my belief that
such everyday experiences have
nothing whatever to do with any in
disposition or illness.
Every time I answer question
concerning the possibility of a
black child being born to white
parents, one of whom has trace
of Negro blood-and always say
"throwbacks" do not happen in the
human family-I receive num-
Der of letters from people who as
sert that they know of instances
where white or very light colored
parents have borne dark colored
child having typical Negroid char
acteristics. These alleged instances
of "throwbacks' or reversion to
type in the human family are al
ways so huSh-hush. it seems, that
there is no possibility of scientific
investigation. One must either &C
cept the assertion as true or reject
it as fanciful. I reject it as fanci-
full story, even though it is recited
by college professor.
Today there bobbed up, for the
first time in a long while, an old
first time in a long while, an old
query, to wit, whether twin girls
are always sterile. This column had
poll on that question years ago,

women who were twin sisters and
had raised families, so the notion
that twin sisters cannot have chill
dren is absurd. Moreover we know
few twin sisters personally who
are mothers of families.
An odd query which used to come
frequently but has not occurred for
long while is whether it is better
to sleep with the head toward the
north, east, south or west, in order
to favor the influence of certain
vague magnetic" currents upon the
body. I believe it doesn't matter
which way the head points. What
do you think? On the other hand
it doesn't prove thing no matter
how earnestly you believe it is so or
how faithfully you repeat cir
