For the past eight months we have been on a tour through four consecutive gardens called the gardens of knowledge. The last mile stone is in sight and for many of us the end of our tour is at an end. The guide, on peeing the last mile stone m the distance, stop that we might have time to take stock. Some of us have not been as attentive as we should have and we have missed some of the most important things. Onward we march taking our last lessors. We look backward and we am there are things which we regret'lWe have* committed. Now is the time to mend those mistakes. We can’t undo the things we have done.but we can make up for them by mak ing these last moments count. The guide has watched us as we journ eyed alone through the gardens and now he stands at the gate to let out only those who are prepared to meet more complicated tasks. Soon our golden days will be at an end, but the delightful friend ship which we -here knew will re main in our memory as an inspira tion to rise to higher and nobler standing .by the help of those friends. Let iis show our courtesy in these last hours and show our guides that we have appreciated what they have done for us. Let us leave foot prints in the sand of time so that the ones who follow our path might seeing take heart again and continue their tour. Let’s be kind to those who are about to take up the torch which now we hold. For courtesy is the eye which overlooks your friends brok en gateway, but see^ the rose which blossoms in his garden. Lead on, O kind guide Thru the coming years May they love the garnet and black And onward travel in spite of fears.

Wilson, home economist, meat has assumed a more important role in Jie hu man diet! “Much of our knowl edge of the true food value of meat has been revealed in scientific re search with proteins from differ ent sources, from studies in blood regeneration, and the very import ant work with anemia,” says Miss Willson. Proteins from different sources are not equally valuable to the hu man body and vegetable proteins are not as well utilized in nutri tion as animal proteins, Miss Will- son points out. The best authorities advocate the intelligent use of meat in the diet,, she says, for the following reasons: 1. Our todies need protein daily. 2. Lean meat is chiefly protein. 3. Meat is a palatable food and well digested. 4. Aside from protein, meat con tains some vitamins and iron. 5. Meat is an important pellagra preventing food. 6. Liver and muscle meat play an important part in blood regenera tion. 7. The extractives of meat furn ish a pleasant stimulation to appe tite and digestion. “These simple direct statements give ample evidence that it is right and proper to include in the diet meat, a food which is relished by practically everyone,” Miss Willson said. ✓ -X- Half Million Jobs For Unemployed NEW YORK, April 16.—Fresh im petus in its drive to find jobs for 1,000,000 unemployed was report ed yesterday at headquarters of the war against depression cam paign, after recent reports from 74 communities listing 6,573 put back to work.
