from it. A few years back a study
of the causes Of death in children
was made in the state Of Massachu-

that state were caused by cancer!
Many infants. hardly acclimated to
their new life outside the womb, de-

Among children. cancer Of the
kidney is perhaps the most common
form. occurring usually during the
first three years of life. 1t shows
its presence by a hard swelling in

BEWARE OF HIGH PRESSURE
MAGAZINE SALESMAN

The Better Business Bureau to-
day issued a warning against a
high pressure magazine solicitor,
using a strong sympathy appeal in
the names of various local veterans
organizations. This man gives the
name Of r. F. Johnson. and tells
prospects, whom he stops on the
streets, that he is a wounded vet
eran. and that a certain percentage
of the money received for subscrip-
tionS goes to the local veterans
organizations, according to Rush
Barns, Acting General Manager OF
the Bureau. He even goes 60 far
as to roll up his trouser leg and
show a purported battle scar Barns
said,
As a matter of fact, Barns said.
this individual is not connected
with any known subscription ag-
ency or veterans organization.
Receipts which he issues to purch-

1t MIGHT be logical for the
government to pay certain people
SIS a week for working on r
tain government jobs if they
could get no other jobs elsewhere.
But the logical outcome of this
could be that the government
would soon nave to tell every
body what jobs to take, where to
work, and at what wages.
And when there are more
people than jobs, the next logical
step would be for the government
to regulate the number of people
in other words, to go into the
birth control business.
When you start to take on gov
eminent control, there's no tell
ing where it will end.

cott: His Life and His
World" by Samuel Hopkins
adams (Reynal & Hitchcock).
Woollcott. in fact. reminds me
bf two celebrated characters in
fiction: Lord George Hell in
Max Beerbohm's The Happy
fIypocrite" and The Boy in Ma
thaniel Hawthorne's The Great
Stone Face" In the former,
George Hell wore a mask and he
finally became his mask. In the
Hawthorne story the Boy having
been told for so many years
that man would appear in his
native town who would look cx-
|actly like the great stone face
carved by nature in n mountain
above the village that when he
|came TO die he looked exactly
bike the Stone Face and became
known as The Great Stone
Face"

With Shelley

Emily Dickinson's poetry has
both the spiritual and luminous
qualities at Blake and .sSi1uiipy.
II is sometimes obscure, but no
more 50 than life is when looked
at steadily. Pick up her books
anywhere and dip in:

Deciding how an atom fell
And yet the heavens held!
The following is simple. but,
like many simple bits Of poetry.

Il never spoke unless addressed.
And then was brief and low
/ could not bear 10 live aloud
The racket shamed me so"
Again. Emily says in one OF
her better volumes of poetry:

She did Just that. But. post
humouS fame caught up with
her and has lifted her from the
grave 90 a seat between Shelley
and Blake. Her bundle" has
become a golden star.
As I said before. If you are
going 10 read Emily Dickinson
do not begin on Bolts of
Melody" Read the earlier vol
umes that have been published.
There you will find her profound
and myStically beautiful soul in
all its fulgurant glory.
