Horneepming
(Crarett Oppenheim in the New York
Sun)
Let us go by the kitchen door
And the back stairs
Lightly to the top floor
Where the dim years
Lie stored in the attic.
There's a bottle of old wine,
And a broken rafter,
And a. ball of red twine,
And a sound of laughter,
Echoing, enigmatic.
We will make no sound
Moving there together.
Though dead leaves rustle on the
ground,
This is Spring weather,
Remembering, enraptured.
There's an old moonbeam
At the top landing
And there, like a child's dream,
An old clock still standing,
Telling forever one moment forever
captured.
Australia's "Wandering Jew," Mr.
Philip Lewis, during his thirty-seven
years of evangelism has travelled
276,000 miles, walked 75,000 miles,
worn out 200 pairs of boots, read the
bible fifty one times.

Th0::HCorner
When with your wife and family on a
little pleasure bent,
And you hear the children laughing,
with their glee the air is rent,
While you roll along at twenty and
you .all enjoy the trip,
And you think there is no danger but
from me you take a tip.
When with your wife you're . chatting
and it seems so good to live,
And have the little pleasure your
car to you can give,
But just around the corner and hard-
ly yet in sight
A road hog speeds along your lane
and hugs the shoulder tight.
He hits the middle of the road then
swings upon your side,
Just a -burning up the pavement with
the throttle open wide,
For a road hog's speed is seventy,
nothing less will satisfy,
You have a moment for to act of
perhaps you all will die.
When scarce three lengths in front
of you he swings to miss lour car
His car which is a heavy olio 'will
hardly feel the jar,
But when he hits your running 'boprd
your car will give a hitch .
In spite of all that you can do•you
land into the ditch.
The road hog never looks around and
hardly bats an eye,
He's thinking only of himself, he
don't care if you die.
He will not stop to help you nor his
assistance lend,
But steps still harder on the gas and
hides around a bend.
You are safer in the jungle where
the lions prowl and roar
Than you are upon the pavement that
runs smoothly by your door,
With all the road hog nuisance that
endangers life and limb
Lt would be a public kindness to rid
this world of hiiu.
Keep a sharp lookout for road hogs
when out upon a trek
You can always recognize one by the.
bristles on his neck,
If speeding down the highway by
chance one you should spy.
Drive your car clear off the pavement
and let the brute go by..
Now there are many road hogs on the
highway I am told
But they will never speed their cars
where streets are paved with gold.
Then where will earthly road hogs go
when they no longer dwell,.
There is no room for such in Heaven,
they have a place
(Your guess is as good ae mine)

Need We Fear
By John O'Ren in Baltimore Sun—
Those who are anxious over some
"new trend" in the colleges and un-
dergraduate thought ought to look at
the results of the Princeton poll of
the senior class. The favorite poems,
in one -two -three order, are Kipling's
"If" (of course!), Gray's "Elegy"
and Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach."
The favorite novelist is Dickens; the
favorite dramatist is Shakespeare;
the favorite book is "A Tale of Two
Cities."
And the only concessions — if
they may be called that—to the one-
time spirit of the age are made in
behalf of Masefield, whose poetry
ranks fourth after Arnold, and "An-
thony Adverse," which takes second -
place among the novels, and "Ah
Wilderness," a favorite play which is,
by the by, full of nostalgia for dear
days of '08.
Could One ask, in this year of
1936, for a more astonishng com-
ment upon the tastes and mental
habits of the undergraduates of
rather a gay college.

estly

In ,Fars Premises
As one motors through Ontario,
and especially Eastern and Central
Ontario, one is often struck with the
forlorn and even dismal appearance
of many farms, observes the Kingston
Whig -Standard. The house and barns
are unpainted, the barnyard is a
quagmire and no attempt has been
made to have a lawn or flower garden
The exceptional farm where an at-
tempt has been made to beautify the
home surroundings stands out as a
bright spot and makes the others look
even worse by contrast
There are mitigating circumstanc-
es for the unlovely appearance of the
a.terms, and they are very strong, and
chief among them being lack of cash
to expend on what is considered a
luxury rather than a necessity. Then,
too, the farmer works long, weary
hoiu's at work which is very like gar-
dening, and he finds no recreation
in digging flower beds and mowing
lawns. His wife and children also
work hard and as a result, only in
the odd case does the farm home and
its surroundings receive the care and
attention which they merit.
But in spite of these very plausible
excuses, the Whig -Standard believes
that a great deal could be done by
the farmers of the district to beauti-
fy their home surroundings. Little
wonder if the children want to leave
]tome and try their luck in the city
when the home is a dingy unattract-
ive place, If the home were pretty
they would be more likely to remain
on the land
Farmers who cater to the tourist
trade find that tourists choose the
cleanest and most attractive -looking
farm for their overnight stop. In this
case a clean good-looking farmhouse
pays golden dividends. But any far-
mer and his wife will find a pretty
garden plot around the house will re-
compense them many times over In
the way it will lift their spirits and
the pride it will give them in their
own home.
Improving the home surroundings
on the farm need not be an expensive
undertaking, necessarily. A Iittle
paint, some work, and a few cents
worth of flower seeds will do wonders,
Apart from the physical improvement
the planning and the awakening of
the spirit of improvement will do
much for the souls and minds of the
inmates of those farm homes which
will try the experiment.
Mothers will feel more like enter-
taining the Women's Institute; Dad
will eye the place with a new pride
of ownership; son and daughter will
feel that they and their hone are
every bit as good as their city friends
and their home.
It is the spirit of not being satis-
fied with things as they are that does
make the world progress and if all of
the farmers of the Kingston district
become so dissatisfied with their own
home surroundings that they set to
work to improve them, they will be
greatly enriched at the expense of a
little bit of energy which perhaps is
expended now on a less useful enter-
prise.
Home beautification should not be
the job of, any one individual al -

Favorite Biscuits
The old mammy -cooks inspired the
legend of Southern hospitality by al-
wzys serving the finest food. They
were famous for their quid; breads—
tender, flaky biscuits and delicious
rc lls.
Many people believed that Old
Mammy never measured the ingredi-
ents but carelessly threw them to-
gether and, by some magic, got re-
sults. But they were wrong. Mam-
my was an experienced cook—she al-
ways measured but she used her hand
instead of a measuring cup and she
was never careless about ingredients.
She knew that flour was the basis of
good quick breads and cakes and she
always insisted on the most finely
milled flour she could get.
Now Mammy's magic cooking has
been modernized for everyone so that
the newest bride can make biscuits
that suggest Southern hospitality.
