' BIG HARVEST OF CHILD POETS COMES FROM GIRAFFE NAMING 4Y“ Ysundest Competitor for Prize in Second Contest Is But 4 Days Old and Is Boy. These giraffe contests seem to be ereating a generation of child poets in Washington. It is all interesting. Occasionally there are some verses which seem to wtand out. Take, for instance, the following, sent in by Elizabeth Jones, 10 years old, 1015 M street: “Hi-Girlle, we children will shout, Please tell us the things we've been asking about. "Your highness, why is the sky so blue And the grass so green, and is it true ‘The little clouds up there all soft and pink Are angels dressed for partles, as we think? “Just how many stars are in the skies And are they really God's firefiles, Or just little peepholes in the blue To let God and the angels all peek through?” Five Scott children of Berwyn, Md., each send in their name suggestions. Jack, aged 7, thinks a good name is tilda. Jim, also 7 years old, wants the il giraffe named Mount Clair. . 12 years old, says she should 1igh Lucy. Ruth Scott be- nev Long Necker is the most ate mame. Ethel, 10 years old, beileves the name should be Lucy Tong. Eizht-year-old’s Effort. From Hicktam Price, 8 years old, 623 Allison street, comes the sugges- tion Giralta, with the following poem: “A nameless maid of slender grace Has come to prove her vaunted fame, And as she takes her newfound place, Pray let ‘Giralta’ be her name.” *And here in this sweet land of ours The happy children loud acclaim The queen amid the dogwood bowers, As ‘Fair Giralta,” by her name.” His brother, Preswon Price, 6 years @ld, suggests that the giraffe be GROSNER’S named Altograf, high girl.” James Terpening, street, writes: “Sald Hi-Boy: Meet HIGir, my wife, Who just came from jungle life. We like Washington just fine, And we'll stay here all the time. “Sald H1-Girl: 11i-Girl was my name long ago, And my hubby wants you to know That when he proposed over a tree, My HIGirl' is what he called me.” Suggestions Crowd In.
