POEM.
From Mrs. L. F. B., Poolesuille.)
The following poem is for Mrs.
r. c. NJ, Mount Rainier. It was
taken from McGuffey's third reader
which memorized many years ago.
Il am nearly II years old A few
years ago my daughter found re-
vised editions Of both the third and
fourth readers and bought them for
me in Washington. I always men,
orized all the poems in my readers,
and can still recite them after all
these years.

Come in. little stranger" said.
As she tapped at my half opened door;
Just reached to the basket she bore.
A look full of innocence fell
From her modest and pretty blue eyes,
As she said, Il have matches to sell.
And hope you are willing to buy.
"A penny q bunch is the price.
They are tied up SO even and nice,
And ready to light with a touch"
l asked, What's your name. little Rirl?"
" 'Tis Mary" she said. Mary Dow:
And carelessly tossed Of q curl,
That played on her delicate brow.
My father was lost on the deep:
The ship never got to the shore:
And mother Is sad. and will weep.
To hear the wind blow and sea roar.
She sits there. at home. without food
Beside our poor. sick WillyS bed;
She paid all her money for wood.
And so I sell matches for bread.
I'D go to the yard and get chips,
But then it would make me too sad
To see the men building the ships.
And think they had made one so bad.
But God. I am sure, who can take
Such fatherly care of bird.
Will never forget nor forsake
The children who trust in his word.
And now. If can only sell
The matches I brought out, today,
I think shall do very we'll,
And we Shall rejoice at the pay"
Fly home. little girl" then thought
Fly home, full of Joy to your nest;
For took all the matches she brought.
And Mary may tell you the rest.

Our Russian Policy As Elliott Sees It
(The Denver PoSt)

IN RUSSIA AND POLAND Elliott Roosevelt appar- ently found atmosphere congenal to his views One got the picture of expansive vanity, backing in the warmth of audiences enthusiastic to hear such expreS sions from an American.
 It easy to understand the enthusiasm of his ception As the missionary of policy naive than that of Henry Wallace in accepting Russian aims Elliott natural celebrity. All the so because Russians may with equal naivete have believed there something official about his mission. Simple folk who themselves know of no such right to criticize their own nation are bound to think Elliott represents pow erful section of American opinon Russian propagan dists certainly will make full of his announcements, just they plan to circulate ranslations of his highly pro-Russian book, "As He Saw It.
 It is most noteworthy that Elliott in the weeks since his amazing speech at Moscow reception, has never really repudiated the remarks credited to him Among other things he is reported to have said that Soviet Rus Sia has never broken its word, whereas the United States and Britain had repeatedly welshed their pledges at Tehran Yalta and Potsdam The climax it is reported, was his challenging question: Can anyone here instance in which the United States has acted to further the of peace?" He gave his answer-hat the United States has acted from purely

Union Leader Thinks Straight

(Rocky Mountain NewS)
 FOUND AT LAST: union leader who can read the handwriting the wall. And who undertakes intell- gently to do something about it.
 Charles J. MacGowan president of the AFL Brother hood of Boiermakers Iron Shipbuilders and Helpers, offers his cooperation in studying and drafting egisla tion designed to minimize strikes without outlaWing them. Mir MacGowan thinks it is not smart to stand in the middle of the road and shout No all suggestions for change in labor laws.
 That's something Bill Green, Phil Murray and the other vocal union leaders haven't learned They oppose any change, to dotting i crossing a t They're trying to cling to their special privileges, just the Wall Street operators railroad monopoliss and tycoons of industry tried to cling to theirs few years ago. And as the Anti-Saoon League crowd tried to hold fast to prohibition long after public opinion had swung against it. If Messrs. Green and Murray persist in their defiance, the thing will happen to them that happened to the others They'll get over by oXcart
 Anyone who read the election returns must know that there is going to be kind of change in the la Dor laws If the changes aren't drafted by those who friendly to labor the job will be done by those who unfrendy. To denounce as "ant-labor" even such de- monstraby necessary reforms balancing the Wagner Act and breaking up union monopoism can only result in exhaustng the patience of the moderates in Congress- driving them into the camp of those who would throw moderations to the winds
 The cause of unionsm will be better served if union leaders follow Mr. MacGowan and cooperate with the inevitable.

 Elliotts only apology for these satments that it was put-up ob, that the questions asked had been designed to 'bait" him and that the account of his speech in American magazine faulty becauSe it does not carry the story in ful He has denied that he made the remarks and is difficult to what pos sible context could make them less offensive.
 Elliott Roosevelt has traded heavily on his preten sions to having been his fathers confdant One of the late Presidents closest advisers Adolph A. Berle Jr however, sharply disputes the interpretations of Roose welt foreign policy in Ellots book Writing in maga- zine article, Berle comments:
 e.. One would suppose from reading it, that ROose- welt was fighting against Great Britain and that his main object to agree with any claim the Soviet Union might put forward
 The fact that Elliott little of his father after Christmas, 1914 He him at all at after the Yalta conference where the President engaged in last, heroic attempt to harmOnze the views of the three great powers.

 Perhaps even more pertinent is the carefully restrain ed comment of Eleanor Roosevelt written in the preface to her sons book:
 Il am quite sure that many of the people who heard many of the conversations recorded herein interpreted them differently, according to their thoughts and beliefs"
 From Elliott's mother there is thus the strong suggestion that he has construed his fathers words cording to his lights. Eleanor.

Members of the Ity -ouncu were working upon our !e4ueSt when our latest storm oc- cureu winch caused the loss of two ives of two of our prominent OuSIneSS men ana Sucn severe uamage to property that a wire was dispatched to various Govern ment officials, including Colonel hewitt, requesting aid in either building a parallel breakWater or moving the City. Due to the fact that there were two separate plans being sponsored by the Chamber ana other groups and individuals, the City Council of Nome did not make a specific request for a parallel breakWater in accord with the suggestion of Colonel Hewitt. :.
 Our City Council received re- plies to their wired request for aid from the different officials appeal ed to. In evey instance the City l council was assured that their re 1 quest was receiving consideration and that everything possible would DC done in behalf of the City of Nome. Especially was Colonel heWlttS response most encourag- ing. In his reply to the City of Nome and in his communication with the Alaska Development Board as related by MT. Sundborg at recent meeting of this Cham
 Der, he clearly indicated his ex
 pert opinion of the cause and the remedy. In an unofficial statement made by him sometime ago, which should have been needed as pre- diction and warning by the City of Nome, Colonel Hewitt eXpreSSr ed the following opinion that he doubted whethey the jetty exten- sion, which was requested recent yl at hearing here, could ever be feasible project for the reason that it would hasten the erosion of the beach east of the present jetty and cause the whole section to be washed away much earlier than would be the case if the jettieS were left at their present length" Il Under the direction of Colonel Hewitt, aerial photographs taken by the U. s.

By comparing these photo graphs taken with others of a few years ago it can clearly be seen that the beach is eroding from tho east side of the jetty and is being deposited on the west side.

writer's have made their money
through writing books of general
American interest. Thus Fannie

books which are fairly distinguish

were different. At one time both

America, zOomed to the top and
remains there at this writing.
These are the more obvious
books. But if one is to study the
best-seller lists, there are other
books by Jews which have sold
well: Arthur Koestler's novel on
Palestine, "Thieves in the Night"
Jos. Sinclair's "Wasteland" and
Arthur Miller's "Focus," both
dealing with the effect of Jew
hating in America. Books by non
Jews which deal with Jews include

Van Paassen, which contains
wonderful passages about the
Jews of Holland! "David the King
by Gladys Schmitt, which is in
essence a Jewish book.
In many other books of general
interest Jews played major roles.
In Fred Wakeman's 1.-THE Huck-
sters" there are many passages
referring to Jews and in countless
novels which appeared this year
and dealt with the American
scene, the author felt impelIed to
write of the Jews. This was espec-
tally true of those books which
are now appearing about the war.
Ex-sOldiers, whose experiences are
crystallizing, find the Jew as a
symbol is a potent part Of Amer
lean life. In effect, the Jew has
"arrived" in American literature.
The image of the Jew as he ap-
pears to non-Jews is a subject
apart. What has the Jewish writ
err in America written this year
which has so greatly appealed to
non-Jewish American readers? In
a word, what books by Jews have
been influencing non-Jewish read
ers in this country?

Fresh Circus Talent
North American Nswspopsr AIliane.


ROME. Mar. 10.--John Ringing
North, vice president of the Ringing
Brothers and Barnum & Bailey
Circus, has almost finished his ex-
iplorations of Europe's circus world
and expects to return home with
some new animal acts.
The outstanding attraction is a
couple of Belgian superpigs, one
white and one black. The white
one sits at table to eat, with a
good display of table manners. The
black pig is something of a
trumpeter, specializing in a render
ing of Who's Afraid of the Big
Bad Wolf"
Mr.. North obtained six chimpan-
zees in Portugal, sea lions in Spain,
20 bears, including polar bears, in
Sweden, educated" horses in Dem
mark, and trapeze acts from almost
every country of Europe.
A piano-playing poodle, currently
billed in Italian variety halls, is
not yet on his long list, however.
The critics have nothing but praise
for this dog virtuosof who not only
specializes in canine rendition OF
boogie-woogie, which compares IA
vorably with the human variety,
but accompanies his own singing
With the discovery of trumpet
playing pigs and piano-playing dogs,
the circus mems dream of an all
animal orchestra is showing signs
OF becoming a reality. They say
drum-playing monkeys are not hard
to find and singing parrots are COM
