This and That

Poke berries are not good eating to
Knockers alone.
Cardinals. jays, common sparrows,
titmice, chickadees and others.
To them all, this Is poke berry time.
In the bird world, which runs along
coincident with the human world, this
is equivalent to strawberry time, or
raspberry time, or huckleberTy time.
Our lives are more complicated.
therefore we have huckleberry pie. and
strawberry shortcake, and red raSp-
berries in cream.
Why are they called straw berries?
And why was the good word "rasp-
berry, converted into o word Of de-
riSion?
Human completely. of course.
Fortunately for the birds. they live in
simple world Of their own making,
complicated by the interferences of
those other two : legged things In
clothing.
The birds eat their poke berries
whole, without sauce Of any kind ex-
cept exercise. It is doubtful that the
sunshine does them any good. Wind
and rain they take in their stride.
What interests them most is food.

Voting at IL
#. A. Duffy.

President Eisenhower seems to be
attempting to break biological law
which clearly sets forth that person
reaches his or her zenith Of develop
ment at or near Il years of age. In
other words. he sets forth the very
bad doctrine that people ought to vote
as soon as they reach their 18th year
of age. Are people Of this present age
more developed at Is than people were
100 years ago at 81? doubt very much
If people ever will reach their full
development prior to the time the
Almighty prescribed for them to do so.
If it is proposed to allow children
to rule the country. why not drop the
voting age to IL years. and thus bring
about complete ruin and have 1t over
with for good? What Is President
Eisenhower proposing to persuade the
vast majority Of voters past 81 to vote?
Why does he, not interest himself In
that vast body of voters? They are
far more capable of voting than those
who have just reached their 18th year.

Struthers Burt

poet and novelist, achieving notable
successes in both fields, Struthers Burt prob
ably will be remembered neither specifically
for his verse nor for his fiction. Writing for
magazines forced him to date his material.
Thus he automatically limited his appeal.
"The Detachable Mountains" for example,
was best seller when it was published in
1927, but it is archaic today. A like obSer-
walton applies to his "War Songs" issued
in 1912. Even his essays, brought together
under the title, "The Other Side" are passe
in the sense that they deal with problems
which still are problems but whose aspects
and impacts have changed-generally for
the worse.
What Mr.. Burt really accomplished OF
durable significance is illustrated best by
his history of the city to which he in
sisted he belonged: philadelphia: Holy Ex-
pertinent" and his chronicle of wyoming,
where he made his home from 1908 onward:
Powder River: Let 'er Buck" These are
readable books without regard to when they
were created. It happens that they likewise
are characteristic Of their author; they re-
fleet his prejudices and his enthusiasts,

worthy qualities.
Mr.. Burt loved his country and its peo-
pie, and he fought for them In his own way.
The land was precious to him. and he hated
to see it abused. Traditions. time-tested
and rich in obvious survival value, found in
him ready and valiant defender. II he
was unresponsive to social and economic
novelties, the explanation was not that he
distrusted progress but only that he lacked
faith in experiments invented to order and
without proper consideration Of all the con-
sequences. The secret of his successes lay
in his powers as an artist. He was great

(c) Our Navy has developed effective

Cd We can control the air over the

(e) We have unquestioned surface

(O The Reds only superiority other
than subs is manpower which cannot

Pipes for the Ladies'

interesting because the editor shows
restraint, almost timidity, in approach

that our Observation-Disclosures actually

the world to prove specific instances,
thereby betraying meager knowledge of
a good old American pioneer custom.
Women among the settlers of Penn
sylvania. Maryland. Virginia and the
Carolinas smoked pipes before the
Revolution and continued the practice
into the nineteenth century. when 1t
spread to Kentucky and Tennessee. My
grandmother until her death in the
early 1880s enjoyed her pipe. taking it
for granted like all her old Scotch-Irish
Presbyterian neighbors. The tobacco.

cured on the farm. Curiously enough.
pipes for women went out just before
the cigarette came in-between the
stuffy eighties and gay nineties.
Clingers to tradition were just as
touchy in their acceptance of cigarettes
for American women as your editor
today in his tiptoeing regarding a re-
sumption Of pipes. Don't you remember
the boudoir smokers ladies dis
tinguished by more lavish use Of
cosmetics, extremely high heels and
rustling petticoats, who outraged the
Victorians by concealing cigarette packs

Opposes Arlington Pool

Here is one vote against Arlington
County providing swimming pools out
of taxpayers funds. The reasons are:
/. Arlington County citizens need re-
lief from promiscuous spending Of tax
funds and bond soliciting.
2. Arlington County citizens need
better sewer facilities.
8. Arlington County citizens need
curbstones to provide proper distribu-
ton in the width of its roads so auto
mobiles won't be driving into bitches to
prevent hitting people who have to walk
in the road because there are no side
walks.
4. Arlington County citizens need
sidewalks so their, children may walk
from school to and from their homes
with more safety.
5. Arlington County citizens never
seem to stop crying for more and more
bond money for more and more schools
and probably rightfully so. But what
will happen when the military are re-
duced and many of them leave Airing
ton County? Who will hold the bag
then?
6. Arlington County individuals are
forever trying to involve the taxpayers
in purchase Of land for parks in which
the children may exercise and play.
What's the matter with the acreage
around the schools at present?
Z. Arlington County citizens are now
endeavoring to push through a request
for swimming pools in which they may
swim and bask in the sun at the tax
payers expense. The law this year pre-
vented me from placing any water
whatsoever on my grass. The law this
year prevented me from using any
water to wash my car. This being true.
how in the world are these swimming
pool experts going to find water for
swimming pools?
