My Mothers Room
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
BY Myra Ruth Minopifx, II

Paul Junior High School
My mothers room is different from
the others in our house:
It's always calm and peaceful. and
as quiet as mouse.
The sun is always shining in, and
cheerily it falls,
Upon the dainty curtains and the
softly tinted walls.
Some afternoons, I like to sit in the
big, soft cushioned chair
BY the window, and feel the gentle
breeze that ofttimes wanders
there.
I sometimes close my eyes and
dream of places far away,
And then I feel as rested as when
I began the day.
1t isn't stylish furniture that makes
this room so sweet;
The furniture is old, although the
room is clean and neat.
But, somehow, when I am feeling
blue and cares all come my
way,
My mothers room will bring me
peace and chase my fears
away.

said in praise of his amusing group,
Turkey in the Straw"
Miss Thorne, since she was a
little girl has delighted many
through her representations OF
child life. Her lines are few but
very telling, the spirit of her work
is sympathetic and engaging. She
was born in Canada and studied in
England under Strang. Instinc-
lively an illustrator she has brought
many smiles to those who have not
forgotten their own childhood-its
merryment and also at times its
trials. One of the most touching
of her drypoints, now on exhibi-
ton, is that of little boy kneeling
beside his bed praying God please
make me an an airman." Also the
pets she introduces are excellent
play Enthusiastically part OF
childhood's picture.
Louis Rosenberg revealed some
time ago what Malcolm Salaman
once called IAN instructive etcher's
eye for the pictorial aspect of build
ings";; certainly it was buildings
such as he found in Europe during
his student years that all along
claimed his interest and held his
admiration. Few have been more
successful than he in this field. But
the series of drypoints by which he
is represented in the present ex-
hibition are exclusively of great
construction work while in process
the building of the gigantic rail-
way terminal in Cincinnati. The
progress of this work he must have
watched with excitement from many
angles, and his drypoint record will
stand for all time as evidence of
mans mechanical genius and power
of adapting mere materials to the
service of mankind. But excellent
as this record is, it does not move
the observer-save with wonder-as
did, and still do, his prints of build
ings hallowed by beauty and testi-
flying to mans aspirations.
After all-art and beauty are
synonymous-we cannot have one
without the other. 1t is for this
reason that so many of. the battle
paintings leave us cold.
These prints have all been Sc
lected from the permanent collec-
ton OF the Division Of Graphic Arts,
assembled during a considerable
number Of years, chiefly through
the gifts of print societies and print
lovers.

Also classed as leaf cutters are
bees which might better be called
flower cutters" They cut petals
from such flowers as peonies, pan
sizes and poppies and form them into
thimbles for their eggs.
No less interesting than the leaf
cutters are the miner bees. These
dig In the ground to make their
homes.
Like leaf cutters, miner bees are
in general somewhat smaller than
honey bees. There are several kinds
OF miners and certain of them are
the smallest Of all bees.
Miner bees usually choose a bang
for their tunnels. This bank NAV
be made Of sand or Of mixed sand
and clay.
In the spring q female miner be-
sets to work to make q tunnel. In
this hollow she brings up q brood
OF young and then all the bees to-
gether work to make the tunnel
longer.
The females in the brood make
separate tunnels or apartment"
along the sides Of the main tunnel
and each one brings up q new batch
Of young. Thus the family grows in
size until it becomes q colony. BY
the end Of the summer the colony
may have hundreds of apartments
and several thousand bees.
Observers report that at least one
bee In b colony is kept on guard
at the entrance Of the main tunnel
The task Of this bee, it seems, is to
make sure that no strange bee il
allowed to enter the tunnel. When-
ever a bee which belongs to the
group comes near, the sentinel"
backs up IN the tunnel and lets It
lcosne In.

ings are to be seen in her cities
alongside the most advanced types
Of modern architecture. The pres
ent show gave the writer a much
broader view of Brazil, and will
doubtless surprise many visitors
Furthermore, DR.. Cardozo has pre-
pared extensive factual labels which
are mounted with the photographs
so that one can painlessly absorb
considerable information while look
ing at them.
Rio de Janeiro, founded by Estacio
de Sa in the 18th century, is one
of the most historic cities in the
Western Hemisphere. 1t has such
splendid landmarks as the Benedic-
tine Monastery, dating from the
18th century; photographs of its
narthex and portals, also its re-
fectory 17th to 18th centuries) re-
veal how well deserved is its fame
The old viceregal and royal palace
and the 18th century aqueduct, now
used as streetcar bridge, are shown
beside a concrete cantilevered stair
case of building under construc-
ton. The old and new offer star
tling contrasts. The Ministry of
Education and Health, said to be
the bestknown modern building ir
Rio, is an amazing structure, its
facade beng in effect a huge, many
storied blind. painted Mediterranean
blue, which can be adjusted for
protection from the tropical sun.
Baia, city Of the Saviour, was the
first capital of colonial Brazil
founded in 1549. II is truly a city
of churches, many of which are
shown in the photographs. One
picture of the city itself, which is
built on various levels, is most ar
resting. Modern elevators carry
people from one part of Baia to
another.
Recife, Pernambuco, on the
bulge of Brazil, and Ouro Preto
(black gold, named from its once
famous placer gold mines) are other
outstanding cities to which we are
introduced. 1t would not be sur
prising If this show of architectural
photographs plants seeds of de-
termination in some visitors to see
Brazil at first hand after the war.

The Mary Ann
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
BY Patty Ann H0Uebauph. rs

Eastern High School.
The Mary Ann is a bomber.
Well loved by all her crew:
With her strong and steady structure
The Mary Ann comes through.
Together through many a hardship
They've stuck through thick and
thin,
And with their undying spirit
How can we help but win?
She isn't a very big bomber.
And far from being new,
But no matter how many Zeros,
The Mary Ann comes through.
She's like shining silver bird
Gliding across the blue.
And past the craving clouds of war
The Mary Ann comes through.
She's bombed hundreds of tanks
And torn apart many a Zero:
She has flown across the Pacific
TO carry back many a hero.
And through her never ending life
OF her men she's lost but two:
With her only thought for victory
The Mary Ann comes through
A good old ship is gaining age,
Her trips are very few.
But with a spirit that will never die
Inc Mary Ann comes through.

Last week we spoke about the
carpenter bees, which cut holes in
trees and use the holes as nests
Perhaps step ahead of the car
penters are other bees known as
"leaf-cutters" They also are able
to make holes in wood, and they
nave an added skill. They cut up
leaves and put pieces of them in
their nests.
A leaf cutter does not always cut
q hole in wood for its nest. Often
it chooses a natural hollow in 9
tree trunk or shrub or q hollow
under stone.
Most often this bee goes to a
rosebush to cut leaves. Working its
jaws like scissors. it cuts out q piece
which Is larger than itself and car
rieS it to the hollow.
Stufdng the piece of leaf down
into the hole, the bee gets another
piece and fastens it to the first one
with glue which 1t takes from its
mouth. Before long, perhaps with
three or four pieces Of leaf, it makes
q "thimble." Then it goes forth to
take pollen and sweet juice from
flowers. The mixture is placed in
side the thimble. Then the bee
lays an egg on the honey cake
and covers the top of the thimble
with a piece of leaf of the right
shape to serve that purpose.
makes thimbles. In the end there
may be from three to a dozen of
them in the hollow. After the eggs
hatch and turn into larvae, pupae
and bees the females among them
carry out the same plan of life.
Other leaves besides those Of rose
bushes are used In making nests OF
leaf-cutter bees. Sometimes the
leaves Of maple trees are employed

THE great cartoonist must have
great insight to touch the heart of

magical. This is no small thing

only flourish under democratic con-
