A Prayer for Mother
Henry Van Dyke

Henry Van Dyke
Lord Jesus, Thou has known
mothers love and tender care;
And Thou wilt hear while, for my own
Mother dear, / make this morning prayer.
Protect her life, pray,
Who gave the gift of life to me;
And may she know from day to day
The deepening glow Of JOY that comes
from Thee
As once upon her breast
Fearless and well content, lay,
So let her heart on Thee at rest
Feel fears depart and troubles fade away.
All, hold her by the hand,
AS once her hand held mine,
And though she may not understand
Lies winding way, lead her in peace
divine.
cannot pay my debt
For all the love that she has given;
But Thou, loves Lord, will not forget
Her due reward-bless her in earth and
heaven.

dollar, two of them at the
Smithsonian Institution. Mendel
Peterson. acting curator of
numiSmatics there, raised the
question of whether Mrs. Tay-
lor's coin was genuine.
There are a lot of altered
dates going around" he said. In
some cases 1901 coins have been
altered to 1904, he explained.
Date Questioned
Actually, Mr.. Peterson said,
most numismaticS now believe
the real 1904" silver dollars
were coined in 1886.
At that time, when the direc-
tor of the mint decided to start
a coin collection. his records
indicated that 1850 silver dol
lars had been struck in 1904, but
none were to be found. So the
director had a few official coun-
terfeits struck. Some of them
got into the hands of collectors
The best guess as to the miss
ing" 1904 dollars is that they
carried an 1903 date, Mr.. Peter
son said. At that period die in
good condition often was con-
tinued in use beyond the date
indicated.

U. S. Population in Same Pattern
The United States population,
he pointed out. now is at an all
time high of about 164 million.
1t has been increasing at a rate
OF about 3 per cent a year, but
this steady rate cannot be re-
lied upon.
There are two major reasons
DR.. Davis said.
First, man has been able tc
eliminate the major predators
which have preyed upon him
the germs Of various diseases
Second, there has been an ex-
ceptionally big birthrate since
the war due to excellent eco
nomic conditions.
Disaster Of some sort seems
inevitable. DR.. Davis said. Sooner
or later. and probably sooner,
man will increase in numbers
to the point where he will
"overgraze his pasture" and. un-
less he somehow departs from
the elsewhere universal pattern
OF nature. will have to cut down
his numbers by war. BY his own
efforts he has probably elimi-
mated the possibly more merciful
alternatives Of famine and
pestilence.
Any voluntary decrease in
birthrate seems highly unlikely
in the face Of the international
and interracial conflicts Of the
day.

Another Red Aide
Of U. N. to Leave

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Aug. 20 (P.-A Soviet delega-
tion secretary under fire from
the Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee has made reser-
vations to sail for home Septem-
ber IL, it was reported today.
The Soviet national is Rosti-
slav E. Shapovalov. who was

could be foretold within about
one per cent.
This held despite immigration
and different birthrates in diff
ferent population groups,
The curve is fundamental in
nature. 1t holds almost abso-
lutely for primitive organisms
such as bacteria, for small pop
ulations of animals. for animals
kept in closely restricted en-
vironments such as rats in a
cage.
1t falls down, however, DR..
Davis pointed out, for many wild
animal populations. Now it ap-
parently has collapsed for man.
Deer Cited as Illustration
He cited the case Of the Kali
bab deer in Utah. There was a
herd Of about 100000 OF these
animals. Their numbers in
creased by a logarithmic curve
despite numerous enemies, such
as wolves and coyotes.
A benevolent government re-
moved these predators. Almost
as once, the Kaibab deer de-
parted from the logarithmic
curve and had an unpredictable
squirt in population. They over
yrazde their land.
They went to war among
themselves and in about a decade
the removal Of predators had
resulted in the practical elimina-
ton Of the entire herd.
The same phenomenon takes
place regularly among elk. A
well-known example Of the same,
Or. Davis said. is that Of the

of 1904 Dollar
Sets Off $10,0 ,000Hunt

The search was on today. for
an 1904 silver dollar lost by a
Washington woman when her
home was ransacked recently.
The coin, if genuine, is conserva-
lively valued at about $4,000.
Mrs. Viola Taylor of 1906
Burke street Sc, who has been
in Portsmouth, Va, for the past
six weeks, returned yesterday to
find the coin gone. 1t was a
family heirloom, passed down
through her grandparents. Mrs.
Taylor had treasured it for sem
timental reasons. and at one
time carried it in her purse.
1t was only two weeks ago that
she realized the coins possible
value through newspaper arti-
Gle in Portsmouth.

Mrs. Taylor recalled. IT have
that coin"
Returns for Coin
Her husband. George, who has
been stationed with the Navy in
Portsmouth, promptly counseled,
you get up to Washington and
get it,"
"The first thing I did when
I realized the house had been
broken into was to look for the
box with the coin," Mrs. Taylor
recalled. Il kept it locked up
in the top of the secretary, hid
den behind some Easter baskets.
l don't. see how in the world
they ever thought to look there. :"
The thieves had looked there.
They had broken into the Sec
retary and although the box re-
mained the coin was gone, along
with three other silver dollars,
and about $40 in "old-time"
nickels, Mrs. Taylor explained.
She also lost about $500 in
checks from her mailbox, she
said.

man said the investigations are
continuing.
"Other persons are becoming
implicated and the case seems tC
be expanding as each minute
passes," he added.
In the eyes of Cairo residents
the spy case appeared to be over
shadowing the canal crisis which
has strained British Egyptian
relations almost to the breaking
point. The Egyptians appeared
to be setting the stage for a SEN
sational international spy trial
But the British steadfastly
insisted that Egypt's espionage
charges against the two diplo-
mats were false.
Nations to Meet in Cairo
Meanwhile an official Egyptian
source disclosed President Mas
ser will meet in Cairo with
the five-hation Suez Canal
Committee headed by Australian
Prime Minister Robert G. Mem

But the informant said he
could not reveal the time for the
meeting, which Mr.. Menzies has

There were signs in London
and Paris of British and French
impatience over delays in get
ting down to the actual talks
with President Nasser on the

to be descending rapidly toward
the Street-level attitudes where
the bulk Of the campaign will
apparently be fought out.
Mr.. Stevenson has led the way
himself. At Vancouver, WASH.
yesterday he lashed out sud-
denly at the President in a tone
which he had previously left to
lesser speakers.
He expected, he said. to dis
cuss the great issues in the
course Of the campaign.

Perhaps, Mr.. stevenson is en-
couraged by the laugh which this
kind of remark inevitably raises
from his audience. Certainly, he
has been strongly urged by vir-
tually all the local party leaders
to ego after" Mr.. Eisenhower as
an essential part Of his appeal

seems that a sharp needle for
