16 CHILDREN HAVE HOST OF NAMES FOR CAPITAL'S NEW GIRAFFE ' Verses Are Written in Praise of Pet, Who Is Due to Reach City Late This Month. Mildred M. Smith, 12 years old, Edgemoor, Md., may be a second Nata- le Crane. It is dificult, of course, to gauge the merit of a child’s verses, and the . giraffe contest editor will not try to 4o so. Verses strike different readers ~4n different ways. But this little poem, which Mildred gent in accompanied by three sugges- tions for name for the little giraffe, which D~ Willlam M. Mann. super- sntendent of the Zoo. is bringing to Washington late this month. has gomething about it which all the savants in Washington might argue over for a long time. “Dear Baby Giraffe: I wonder if you giraffes Eat the stars for hay: I really think you might Mars Because you're built that way.’ touch #1'd like to have the jolly moon For my pillow, too; But I guess that's only enough For chaps as tall as you." Her name suggestions are Mi-boy, Hi-Brown and Aster (Astra Star). These verses may or may not have the magic of Blake and Stevenson @bout them. It is up to the individual | reader to judge. | Mildred, her mother says, dashed off the lines in about 10 minute Suggests “Sir Spots.” Hera is another poem, from Cynthia Hathaway, 9 vears old, 5019 Moore- fand lane, Bethesda: “Dear Baby Giraffe: We can't wait ‘till you're here, Though perhaps you don’t know You live in a sphere That's different from down here below. close “We're walting to christen you With a party gay (Though perhaps we can't reach you) On Halloween day, “There are many fine names Now walting for you, S0 many that sometimes I really turn blue. “Altus Natu, R-Byrd, and so forth, Ave some of the fine ones in store, But I'm taking the nerve, really taking the nerve, To add t- the list just one more. “I hope with my heart that you'll n't so awfully grand; ally a chance you won't hear it. You're so terribly tall when yeu stand. name for you is Sir Spots.’ Ten Year-0ld Girl Poet. geveral Washington children turn- | ed to verse to express their emotions | ®bout the coming of the giraffe, and | while we're about it we might as well | rint these verses by Annie Mary | Valker, 10 years old, 1932 First street | northeast: “I think Jerry a =zood name for man or beast; It sounds a little like Giraffe, at least. oy “We have read so much about this wonderful heast, Let's give him a catchy name, at least. 2 “Now all the near, Can call him “Jerry, Jerry, giraffe—Jer-re T hope vou will call him Jer me."” What i children, far and Jerry without fear. schoolroom waste basket, where thou- sands of the tiny elves of imagina- tion that dance for the children fall and are lost forever—trash piles of fancy, full of little flakes of gold dropped out of heaven by angels who are filing out new stars! This letter comes from little Doris Burch, & vears old, 21 Thirteenth street southeast: I think ‘Happy’ would he a suitable name for the giraffe that is coming to the zoo. The reason I think so is because my &randmother has always told me that it we do something to make other happy we are sure to he o ourselves So 1 know this little fellow be just brimming over with happi- ness, as he Is doing so much for us. “Just think, he is traveling, oh so far, to see us little youngsters and making us wild with delight at the prospect of seeing him and find- ing him a nice name. P. S.—I cannot write myself, but my grandmother {s holding my hand.” Bustace Davis Cooper, 6 years old, {331 South Walnut street, Clarendon, writes: “I ‘would call our giraffe ‘Moses, because he is lpa\lgn,r:a"' dark and dangerous home in Afr for a good home in our free countr where no other wild animals will hurt him, and hecause he is being hroug over the sea by Prof. Mann, i a good friend to all wild animal; Ernestine Betty Galbraith, tucket Apartments, writes: My R mother writes for me. a: v 1 am afrai you could not read my writing. COME must | { northe: [ Hap THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO am-a little girl in the first -part of 3 years old and am very much inter- ested in the beautiful giraffe that is| coming to the z00. My grandmama has told me about it. and when she read to me about giraffes and how they smelled like ‘heather honey’ be- cause of the sweet food they ate in their native home I chose the name ‘Honey Boy' for him.” From Carrie Roper Fulton, 11 years old, 1732 Lanier place, comes the fol- lowing: “I think the giraffe should be named Bob hecause B.O.B. are the initials of Best One Brought and T think he is the best animal brought from Africa. B.O.B. also are the initials of Best of Beasts.” Warren Ellls, 10 years old, 2917 Carlton avenue northeast, writes: “1 think that in naming the giraffe we should honor the men wha are re- sponsible for obtaining him. The name I suggest is ‘C-Me.” These are the first letters of ‘Chrysler-Mann Ex- pedition.’ I have read that for a wild animal the giraffe is very friend- If he could talk, would he not say to the children of Washington: ‘I send my greetings and invite vou all to come and “See Me"? 1 think that ‘C-Me' honors the men who got the giraffe for us, is a friendly greet- |ing and is casy to say. little sister Ruth sends the of ‘Candy Kid, becanse she thinks his neck looks like a stick of candy, and. anyway, she thinks he Wil be such a sweet fellow.” Some other suggestions in today’s mail are: Mildred Rivers, 608 Fifty-sixth street —Spotted Man Leila McFarland, 130 Seaton place— Highbrow.
