Selected Poem
SONG FOR CLEANING DAY

zabeth Bohm in the Christian Science Monitor
Brown soap can brew scrubbing froth
Fragrant as orange-peel or tar;
1t makes a closet or cloth
AS fresh as dogWood blossoms are;
And wax, that amber soft and slow,
Embalms old carving in a glow.
Polish can turn a bowl of brass
Into bell that beats a CLEAN,
Can make silver dish glass
Of lights like birches in dream;
While bright as peaches copper blooms
Out of the corners of the rooms.
There could not be a blither work
Than skill with pumce, brush and soap,
To bring bright thing from dark
To fill the house with lamps of hope.
And so before the morning goes
Put stars among the goblet-roWs.
With wax from droning bes attend
The objects blessed by dropping time;
The past is deeper than the trend,
The years give even wood chime
Unheard, and scents of wax assuage
With cleaning love the flaws of age.
There is so little need of more
If patience works to do her best;
xte thousand items dull before
Arise in radiance and rest.
The house is quietly complete
AS if the rooms were filled with wheat.

New Haven Journal Courier)
No one wants to tamper with sue
cess, especially with a formula that
produces financial success. So prob
ably the moving picture people will
hardly bother to change that pros
porous smile as we make the follow
ing suggestion, which is that pic
lures be filmed on other subjects
than the war.
The movie makers have the best
argument in the world with which
to refute this suggestion: namely.
the Saturdav-Sunday-Monday at
tendance over the Fourth of July
was the highest in the country
history for the three-day period.
The Radio City Music hall broke all
Fourth of July records in its 10
year history.
Whether this swell in attendance
came as result of the bad weather
or the pull of the war films is too
involved point to debate here.
However, we think that one of these
days the public will start laundering
for other kinds of pictures, in fact
would welcome little variety right
now.

HOOVER ON STAIN
Friends of Herbert Hoover say
that it would scorch paper to write
down what he has to say about
relations between Roosevelt and
Stain and the Joe Davies Mis-
sion to Moscow"
In the first place, Hoover
says that Stain should be told
what to do, not pandered to.
He also says that the mysteri-
GUS letter Davies carried to Sta
lin was a proposal that Stain
meet with the President at some
convenient place. Teheran was
suggested with the qualification
that if Stain could not leave
the countryr, Roosevelt would be
willing to come all the way to
Moscow.
Stain is reported to have re-
jected the whole business, say
ing he was too much engrOssed
in the duty of defending his
country.
NOTE: Hoover is reported by
friends to have conferred recently
with Chief of Staff General Ma
shall.

General Watson calling. The
President would like to see you
at HIS"
Creetmore Faith is a relatively
obscure official in the Board of
Economic Warfare whom very
few people have heard about.
But he is also one of the fight
INCEST young men in the BEW,
especially when it comes to a Ger
tain subject in which the Presi-
dent has shown considerable in
terest - namely, whether we
shall follow Germany and inspire
cartels in Latin America.
The issue long has been de-
bated backstage in regard to
American Cyanamid, to which the
State Department proposes grant,
ing a monopoly of all the former
Nazi drugs and chemical COM
panies in Mexico. Creation of
this monopoly is extremely i'm
portant because it would set a
pattern for other Latin American
countries.
Leo Crowley, fortnight alien
custodian, has opposed the Ameri-
can Cyanamid deal; also Attorney
General Biddle. They had az
gued that Cyanamid, oncet closely
linked with the Nazi I. G. Far
benindustrie, would create an
other giant chemical trust in
Mexico which might get into Ger
man hands after the war. Also
they have favored the American
principle of free competition in
Mexico.
PICTURE DISTORTED
The President agreed with
them, sent written memo to
Crowley, and decision supposedly
was to inform the Mexican gov
eminent to this effect. Then the
State Department, in drafting a
note to Mexico, distorted the pic
ture, so actually it appeared that
the United States had no objec-
ton to the American Cyanamid
leal.
Hearing about this, the Presi-
dent called in the man who
knows most about the whole
thing, young Creetmore Faith.
When Faith got to the White
House, the President sat back and
listened. He hardly said a word.
After Faith had finished telling
him how the State Department
had twisted the previous decision
of Crowley, Biddle and the Presi-
dent himself, FDR made this re-
mark:
"Any time you want to come
and see me again, just call up
and tell "Pa" Watson that an
other Cyanamid is being pulled
off,
Immediately thereafter, the
President sent for Assistant Sec
rotary of State Dean Acheson,
Vice President Wallace, Attorney
General Biddle and Leo Crowley.
Then he proceeded to bawl out
the State Department, said that
his instructions had not been car
ried out, and that from now on
he would handle his own deal
ings with Mexico on American
Cyanamid.
FREE AND FAIR
After that the President did a
most unusual thing. He wrote a
personal letter to his friend, Pres
ident Avila Camacho of Mexico,
telling him in no uncertain terms
that the United States was for
free and fair competition, not for
an American cartel along Nazi
lines in Mexico.
MOTE: The calling in of Greet
more Faith, the man who knew
most about American Cyanamid,
is similar to what the President
used to do in the old days when
he kept an eagle eye on the DOM
este problems and was not Civ
ing most of his time to admirals
and generals.

Chester Davis, the two vetoes on

FIRMNEss OR FLABBrNEss

FIRMNESS OR FLABBTNESS
The early manifestations of aging
are chronic fatigue or WEAKNESS and
desire to relax or to sit and watch
others work or play when normal
folk want to go places or do things;
tendency to take melancholic out
look; grazing of the hair; appear
ance of wrinkles; and f1abbiness Of
the entire musculature, voluntary
and involuntary Cheart, artery, gas
trointestinal muscle) in contrast
with the f1rmness of muscle In
youth
The last manifestation, fiabbi-
ness of muscle or lowered muscle
tone is perhaps the most serious one,
for the very reason that it creeps
upon you.
I think of it every time I see my
playmate DR.. -- stepping along
to the bowling green. The Doctor
is only 05 but many an old geeZer
of As would come alive if he had
the Doctors muscle tone.
This muscle tone, elasticity, re-
silence I'm talking about is not
matter of phenomenal muscular de-
velopment or strength. A reason
able amount of exercise is neces-
sary and advisable to preserve it,
but nutrition, not physical training,
is the important factor of good
muscle tone-and remember 1t ap-
plies to the state of the stomach
and intestine muscle coat, the mus
Gle coat of the arteries, the heart
muscle, the breathing muscle, as
we'll as it does to the voluntary
skeletal muscles.
1t is my opinion, and I don't
know whether many medical COL
leagues will agree or not, that this
fabbiness or impaired muscle tone
of the individual who is, say, begin
ming to grow old, is due mainly to
nutritional deficiency, and wish
I could specify precisely what is
deficient, but, having studied the
thing for years find 1t difficult to
be precise about it.
For one thing, am convinced by
practical experience with elderly
patients, or perhaps I should say
friends, that booping their daily in
take of vitamin B-complex improves
their muscle tone. Along with the
daily ration of B-complex they
should have also good daily ration
of vitamin D.
The vitamin D is as essential for
utilization of calcium (and phos-
phorus) in middle age and old age
as it is in infancy, childhood and
youth. So I believe every one who
feels old age creeping up on him,
suspects it is sneaking up on him,
should eat or swallow some tablets
of B-complex and D with breakfast
or other meals every day.
People getting along in years en-
joy less exposure to sunlight, direct
sunlight or indirect skyshine, for
various reasons. Exposure of the
naked skin to sunlight is the nat
ural way to manufacture vitamip
D in the body. One reason elderly
people do not expose themselves to
sunlight is that they are more SEN
sitive to the cold. I won't quarrel
with them about that now. Another
reason, which is deplorable and
wrong, is that they are so fearful
of taking cold" Oh, well, I sup
pose there's no use trying to ration
alize the old timers about that
much easier to give 'em theirs in
tablets.

advertising would be an important

In creating a desire for goods could
