...Birthday Poems of the Century," is the title of a small volume of rather obscure verse by Ernest Green Dodge 1G. The book abounds in striking phrases, with now and then an original thought, but throughout the first poems runs a note of artificiality that often hides altogether the idea of the author. This perhaps is responsible for the bewilderment of the reader who looks seriously for a purpose in the verses, for something more than an outre style of phrase or rhythm.

The ends got into the interference quickly and on end plays boxed the tackles successfully...

Not only were there too few tables, but there was not even room for those watching, to sit down. The House Committee, therefore, decided that better accommodations should be provided...
