A Thought for Today
And the mening and the morning
were the first day.-—-Genesh 1:8; ,
1 think that nothing made is lost:
That not a moon hath ever shone.
That not a cloud my eye hath crossed
But to my soul hath gone.
That all my lost years garnered lie
In this thy casket. my dim soul:
And thou wilt once the key apply.
And show the shining whole.
—George MacDonald.

Much local interest centers around
the bill to remove adult :(Iteracy.
which comes before the st.ate legisla-
ture this week.

had been buried recently. Time
black is black one year and white an-
other.
After a person is dead a. few thous-
and years. the atmosphere of respect
and reverence vanishes. So it's gon-
sidered proper to lug forth and dis-
play the mummies and treasure found
in Tut—ankh-Amen‘s tomb.
It must please the old gentleman's
spirit at that, for he was forgotten
and his tomb buried under \drifted
cavatorsr His glory lives again by
reason of his grave-robbery.
His tomb had been robbed previ-
ously—about 3300 years'ugo—and re-

flour is worth a million times its

From Tut—ankh-Amen's tomb; the
scientific looters bring the king's fa-
vorite chariot. Stripped of its gold
and Jewels. it is a plain two-wheeled
cart such as the average modern-boy
would scoff at.
This chariot didn't even have rub-
ber wheels. It must have been de-
cidedly uncomfortable. bumping ever
cobbled pavements or muddy ruts. It’s
a safe goes that Tut-ankh~Am_en
would have-traded half his kingdom
for one of the flivd'ers that Henry
Ford has made available to rich and
poor alike.

This bill has four basic rmeons for

Over one fourth of the population
of Connecticut is foreign born. and 17

RESOLUTIONS
BY BERTON BRALL‘Y
My salary commences
To vanish. ere it's earned.
I cannot meet expenses.
Though why. 1’ ve never learnt-d,
In spite 0' how we plan. we
Remain in debt and doubt.
We can’t explain, nor can us
Make it out.
We really ought to flourish
My income's pretty good,
And yet we scarcely nourish
Our bodies as we should.
Our problem—who shall judge it!
_;~. There' s just one way. we sigh
“\Ve’ ve got to keep a. budget——
Bye and bye. "
» Where does the money go to?
It's quite too tough for words,
To think of all we throw to
The little dicky birds.
A bank account we' re craving,
Alas the dollars flv!
And we. instead of saving.
Bye and bye:
Some day. when we get to it.
We'll keep a ledger, planned
To show us. when we view it,
Exactly how we stand:
But now—we merely fudge it
~;_ And watch our debts run high,
. - We sure must keep a budget
Buy and Buy.
