 Originally 1t was an Irish tune, with the words natice to the city of Limerick, on the river Shannon, The words, with their references to smashing lights, breaking windows and doors and knocking down the watch, are not edifyng. It is the swinging melody. with It's jIggling eighth notes, that quickeps mems pulses. The song of "GarTy0wen' goes well with the tr0t of a cavalry horse, Clusters Seventh Cavalry took 1t over at the Battle of Washita, tn November, 1868. when they rode into Black Kettles camp, It was a day of ill omen, for some Indian women were killed in the confusion, and Custer was almost overwhelmed when Black Kettles allies, Kiowas, Arapahoes and c0manehes, 2,O00 strong, came yelling to the rescue, The Seventh Cavalry heard the music again when It marched 0pt under TerTy's command in June 1878, to attack the Sioux, It was the last music eyer heard by 2l2 troop CTS who followed Custer ln hls ehaTge Into another Indian village, that Of Crazy other Indian village, that of Crazy Horse. on June AS,
 Now it is being heard again, not in Limerick, not on the Little Bic Horn, but ip the Pacific west of the international date line, 4 dispatch from the MaFianas tells of the cheers that rose when t Was bToad' east to sweating soldiers on . crowded transport, It has already been taught t0 brown saYages iH thatched Vlllages,p It stiFs mems blood in this new Wag against aE emery as feT0cl0us as the eiouk bul not as h0n0Fable'

Selected Poem
FIRST FLOWING

FIRST FLOWING iQibeFt Maxwell in The Christian Science MoDitoD In all that field Of sun no grass blade stirred, The fuFFoWed loan to his bare foot vas pillow, Far ip the brush the spotted partridge whiFFed, The wind slept iD the willow Three swaylng figures in frisge Of sky were mule and ploW and boy, over his head he heard the crows rough cry; hts heart shook hard with Joy, The bFlsFy bush on the bank hung dark with beF'
 Fiesi green was the wood and he knew where the brook
 ran vide sweet to the tongue were the clusters Of near wild
 cherries, but not 60 good as the taste Of his new man'pTde.

W. Kingsland Macy. whom the Old Guard hates, had the inside track to the Senate nomination. Macy told all corners he had the nod from Dewey, was even mov. ing ahead with plans for hs actual campaign.
 Before Dewey left for St. Louis, he invited Macy to the Executive Mansion. told him in best FDR fashion how much he liked him, what a grea. contribution he could make to the nation. Macy left smiling broadly. even twitted Boss Ed Jaeckle, State chairman. about having won out despite Jaeckle's opposition.
 However, when Dewey returned from St. Louis. COP machine bosses Jaeckle, John Crews and Tom Curran put on the heat, de" manded that Dewey drop Macy. Dewey knuckled under, finally got Macy on the phone, summoned him hastily to the Executive Mansion.
 "You'Fe a swell fellow" Dewey told Macy, 'but y0u haven't been shaking hands with She right people"
 Result was Macy agreed to bow out.

 Next, Dewey called in his old friend Thomas J. curran. New York County Republican leader and former colleague Of Dewey's in the New York U. s. attorneys office. where both worked as as- sistant prosecutors.

 "YOu've got to take it, Tom" replied Dewey. "Y0u've got Co take iG for Che sake Of the party"
 Later, when the State commit- tee met to choose the candidate. bosses Jaeckle. J. Russel Sprague, Crews and Curren held enough proxies to choose whenever they wanted.
 Cracked one veteran Chicago political writer:
 "This looks just like . Cht- cage Democratic meeting ln the Morrison Hotel when word has come over from Mayor Kelly on who the candidates will be. ! feel at home here"
 CurTan was unanimously chos" en-. Macy, swallowing hard, see' Onded his nomination.
 After the meeting, Dewey sent word to Macy. saying, "YOu can have anything y0u want"
 Macy. overwhelmed by the strength Of his own partys bosses, voiced a quiet hank yOu," boarded train for home,

 Something about this young wom- ans letter reminds me of many let- iers have received from young women who arc now pupils in a rec- ognized nurse training school or have completed such training and are now graduate or. in some inc stances, registered nurses--authcriz- cd to use the letter R. N. after their name. It is not a point of similars lty in the letters. however. This young woman's letter is without a fault in form. punctuation. spelling. A good many of the letters re. ceive from young women now study ing nursing and from graduate or registered nurses are not.
 mention this because. after all, graduation from high school or graduation from college doesn't nec- essarily imply a higher degree of in- telligence than the individual who has had only year or two of high. school may have.
 am sorry to say I don't know Of any recognized nurse training courses which are open to young women who have not graduated from high school.
 What this country sorely needs right now is a supply of good two- year nurses. What the country Is getting is a supply of two-year that is. trained in a two-years coursel nurse. who have been robbed Of a years service by the hospital where they receive their training. before they are allowed to begin their ca- rers. That, children. is the main reason for the three years course. It is pretty soft for the hospitals.
 I have observed some of the nurses produced by the present sys- tenn at work. I'll say that if I were the patient I'd trade flock of 'em for one two-year nurse who prob ably had nc more than year of high school. if that-but she knew how to take care Of her patient.
