Doug and Mary took another motor car ride Sunday, apparently indiffer ent to what people were likely to say. :o: 'K.illv liana a Firm Beiiever in Advertising." a headline says. She goes in for the unveiled truth, too. :o: It's not that some of us are more rolite than others, but we may "be able to yawn with our mouths shut. :o: A correspondent, otherwise quite solemn, mentions in connection with seme of Mr. Farley's appointees "the administration's peons of praise." :o: One of those notices which really should be tagged "To Whom It May --Concern": Al Capone has moved his shoe shop from Atlanta to Alcatraz, Cal. ; , : :o: " With the Dillingers on the vaude-j ville stage and Kuey Long in the senate, what business after all, fel lows, have we to throw Hitler up to the Germans? :o: A man who offers affidavits to sup port what he says in a public speeuh, is either a liar or knows that other ' reople will suspect him of lying. Probably both. :o: Because she admired the statue of the Winged Victory, the President's mother wa3 presented a copy by the French government. Won't she say a few words of admiration for the war debt? :o: The cool days last week brought a lot of women out of their basements and recreation rooms for the first time in six weeks, and sent them ' scurrying downtown to buy sun glasses. :o: There's... one thing about-the. dryj reatker thsi summer. Mothers have not had to worry about their little dears playing in mud puddles after they'd got them all cleaned up for the afternoon. :o: Nature probably knows why, but we never could understand why she insists on making a man baldheaded. We contemplate on this more as our own hair begins to slip, and looking in the mirror, we are convinced we are no beauty. l MM J Homer nodded, and even Henry Mencken" wrote the other day that somebody might "be left buzzing around helplessly like a fly that has lost its wings." :o: When a statesman shouts that thousands of school teachers are teaching sedition in our schools to day, he has great difficulty in re membering one of those teachers by name. :o: It must be quite a blow to the. nennant-bound Detroit Tigers to realize that school will open in a week or two, and, of course, School boy Rowe will have to' get back to his books. -:o: Sinclair Lewis was at a loss for words when they told him Hitler had sent his wife, Dorothy Thompson out of Germany. That raises the epi sode to the importance of an inter national incident. -:o:- Evidently Los Angeles married couples no longer frame their mar riage certificates and hang them on the wall. The size of the certificates in that county has been reduced from 17x14 inches to 5x8. Con venient for vest pocket or pocket book. :o: . At the risk of being included among the Tories Mr. Farley and Professor Tugwell inveigh bo heav ily against, we regard the announce ment of a vaccine against infantile paralysis as the best news of the year, hot even excepting the decision to buy silver. :o: Work has been halted on the shel ter belt tree-planting project, one of the very cheapest of the new deal xperiments, because the money has run .out. Qne virtuqf. govenynent experiments is that the bigger the project the longer it goes before the money runs out. . ' :o:- The NRA blue eagle doesn't ap pear to be a bird of uniform sweet ness and light. A Chicago bus com pany, having recently lost its blue eagle, advertises its fortitude under the loss, saying the eagle had brought the company "nothing but headaches, heartaches, disappoint ment and disillusionment." The ore Card Rep Score another one for the drought. It curtailed the output of spinach. :o:- Often the best way to fool a per son is to let him believe he's fooling you. -:o: A, horse is a very dependabla ani mal, says a writer. That is, if you don't bet on a certain one to win a race. :o: Millard Fillmore was the fisrt Presdient that ever took a bath iu a White House bath tub. :o: An old-timer is a man who can re member when about all the abbre viations he had to know were BVD and RFD. :o: Next to having a doorknob come off in the hand, the emptiest feeling is that long-drawn-out squealing of breakes and no crash. :o: Since delegates to the internation al wheat conference at London have gone home it is to be supposed there wasn't enough wheat to confer about. :o: The Austrian government gives mothers a "subsidy" of one dollar for each child, a sum which many consider either too much' or not nearly enough. -:o:- David Lawrence tells 113 that the "new deal creaks." And right then Sarah Bellum ordered a ringside seat when creak meets creak in the Rich-berg-Johnson bout. :o: The giant panda of Tibet is des cribed as having a raccoon's coat and dark circles under the eyes. That indicates to Senator Soaper that its habitat is football trains. :o: The German government favors the princle of permitting a con demned person to commit suicide Let's see, isn't that something like the old Japanese custom of mata harl? v :o: The Louisville Courier-Journal wonders why the Republicans haven't blamed the brain, trust .for the drought. Well, they were about to do so, when the brain trust jumped ahead of them and cclakned credit for it. :o: Despite General Johnson's' increase in salary, Washington rumors insist i ba Je is. iVvS-.f QJTSS, SMmSf j n Posi tion a position where, perhaps;? ?ie will not be subject to the humilia tion of having , to hire back, an em ployee he once discharged. j : :o:- - . The Guatemalan consul' at New Orleans visited a night club in that city Sunday night, and was severely beaten by an ex-pugilist on the night club pay roll. This, of course, will be a shock to Huey Long, whose dis tress over New Orleans's morals has been most touching.

Nearly Two Million Dollars to Aid Stale Heedy Federal Grant for Month Includes a Liberal Amount for Stock Fe:d. Members of the Nebraska emer gency relief commit te-e have been called upon to assemble on Fri day afternoon to allocate to the var ious counties one of the largest sums of federal relief fundi allocated to Nebraska. The allotments mads by the com mittee chairman, issued the call for the meeting after word was received from Washington that the Nebraska request for cf federal funds has been approved "substan tially a recommended." Of this amount $600,000 will be available for direct relief of needy persons. The notification came from Row land Hayncs, federal relief adminis istrator for Nebraska who went to Washington to concr with federal relief heads when indication was given that the requested sum might be materially reduced. The sum granted to Nebraska for September will meet the costs tor human relief needs, for purchase of feed for drouth distrecd livestock and to carry on other relief activ ities. Iajrnes had requested the increas ed sum for September c:i the theory that purchases of fee ! fr.r distressed livestock in drouth areas would en able many farmers to carry their families thru the winter without other aid. Haynes, on leaving for Washing ton, said he planned to stress the fact that failure to purchase livestock feed might mean l-jsa of animals by many farmers and resultant in creases in the regular relief cate loads. f. n. will cons heue? President Rooscve'.t, according grape vine reports, would like to tc if in come to Neurasita aacut (Jet. z, possible, to help Ecnr.tor Norris hi3 campaign for tiie one houso leg islature amendment. This date Is bo lioved to have no connection with the prposad dedication cf the cap- otl, which has not isocr. fixed as to date.

Former Congress man Norton may find it convenient to arrive in Nebraska after Norris comes to make five addresses for the Norris amendment, but not on cny other topic, politics to be shunned.
