The Unexpected Pleases
Fourth Place for Us
Secretary lekes has a real plan,
ami possesses what might be called
vision In spending. He has confi
dence In this country and Its
wealth. As chairman of the re
sources hoard, Mr. lekes favors
spending $105,000,000,000 In the
next 20 or 30 yc ars on public
works.
Do not “stand and gaze,” or fall
backward; that Isn’t so much mon
ey for Uncle Sam. Mr. F. II. Eck
er, whose Metropolitan Life Insur
ance company, biggest in the world,
has assets of $4,000,000,000, will
tell you that In really good times
the United States’ income was $90,
000,000,000 a year, $00,000,000,000
for wages, $30,000,000,000 of other
Income.
"An eye for an eye and a tooth
for a tooth” may suit old-fashioned
“capitalistic” countries. It does
not appeal to Russia. There, to
avenge the killing of one man,
Kirov, Stalin’s friend, 28 more have
been shot, making a total of 103.
“A hundred and three eyes for
one eye, a hundred and three teeth
for one tooth,” is a high price, and
the number killed may be in
creased.
The unexpected Is Interesting
and Is the essence of humor. Two
old gentlemen, failing in their at
tempt to strike oil, retired to the
poorhouse. In the poorhouse back
yard they found, first, a good coal
deposit, then struck oil.
Louis Mosenza of New Jersey
went hunting deer, walked 20 miles,
found nothing. At night he found
a lurge deer hanging in his kitchen.
It walked into the front yard, Mrs.
Mosenza shot it.
Charles Lana Gibson, able urtlst,
with friends went moose hunting,
traveled far, by buckboard in the
Maine forest, found nothing, pncked
guns, drove back to the station. A
fine bull moose and two cows
walked across the track. They
could not get out their guns In
time.
An NRA report says the United
States comes fourth among nations
in the march toward recovery and
is gratified. There was a time when
fourth place did not particularly
gratify Americans, but “small mer
cies thankfully received.”
Interesting in the report is the
statement that countries still on
the gold basis—France, Italy, Bel
gium, Holland, Switzerland—show
least evidence of progress.
Rumania’s parliament discussed
a young lady with red hair named
Magda Lupescu, for whom the Ru
manian king, Carol, has shown
some partiality. It was suggested
in defense of King Carol that “his
critics are too weak to be immoral."
That new view of immorality
would surprise several well-known
characters, including the good St.
Anthony. It was not understood
that the man who said he could
“resist anything except temptation”
wus a person of unusual strength.
Mr. Joseph J. Fiske observes
that among the “one hundred and
eiglity-one who had incomes of a
million dollars a year during the
war, the Jews may be counted on
the lingers of one hand.” He
thinks this Interferes with Hitler’s
theory that members of the Jewish
ruce control the world’s money and
own most of it.
That theory, of course, fs non
sense. There is no Jew among the
richest men in the United States,
who are, or were until recently,
John D. Rockefeller, Andrew W.
Mellon, Henry Ford and George F,
Baker.
Wise King George of England
knows which way the straws are
blowing. Friends wanted to give
him, by subscription, a new yacht
costing $150,000. He thanked them,
said he could get along well with
his old sailing boat, and advised
that the $150,OOO "be applied to peo
ple out of work.” That kind of
king stays on ids throne.
The marquess of Donegal tells
the London Sunday Despatch that
Chancellor Hitler, flying over cast
Prussia, was attacked with gunfire
from another airplane, that fled at
high speed after missing.
Perhaps that did not happen, but
It might happen.
United States cotton growers de
cide by a vote of 0 to 1 that they
want an extension of the Bankhead
act, limiting the production of cot
ton. Consequently, production will
be kept down and prices forced up.
So far so good.
Another result will be that for
eign countries will gratefully In
crease their cotton production, safe
from competition cf United States
surplus cotton, and this country’s
cotton export trade will gradually
fade away. Perhaps that Is “all
right." Cotton growers should
know.

Jonah Had a Sister
By J. T. BARBER
ffi. McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service.
TERRY GELDON dreamed that
if he could marry Thelma Bland
and he n horse writer on the Her
ald Sun, he’d be the luckiest man
alive, and be believed It until he
got that second blowout on the road j
to Havre de Grace.
It was beginning to look like an
even bet that he wouldn't get to
the track until after the last race
when there wouldn’t be a chance of
catching Old Man Catherton.
He looked around Instinctively
for some sign of a jinx. Only a jinx
could do things like that to a cowl
born child of fortune. His roving
eye encountered Miss Bland. Hor
ror chilled him but he faced It reso
lutely.
“Thel—do you read your Bible?”
“I’ve practically been a mummy
for the last hour. If that’s any good
to you. What's the background?”
“We-el, take .Tonnh. I menn—his
family.”
“No family.” replied Thelma
promptly.
“No sisters?”
“Nope. ... Terry—“ Thelma Blaud
suddenly examined him minutely—
“that wouldn’t be your cowardly
way of blaming me for these sun
dry and minor difficulties, would
It?”
“Ain I saying?”
“Yon distinctly nm. And If there's
any more of the same I’ll get right
out here and walk home.”
It made Terry relent. "You’ll
stay,” he said. But they had to
park for ten minutes. Then Thel
ma said, "That's more like It,” and
Terry felt lucky agnln.
He had practically forgotten his
suspicions by the time they reached
the "Grnw” and he wandered about
In front of the parimutuel windows
confident that Old Man Catherton
would tr.rge up and buy a ticket.
Presently Old Man Catherton
barged up. Terry moved with the
.peed of a champion.
“Excuse me, Mr. Catherton. I’d
like to be a rnclng writer on the
Herald-^un!”
“Humph!” Old Catherton glow
ered. “And what makes you think
you can be n racing writer on the
Herald-Sun?”
"A couple of years on the Ilnr
rlstown Times News; and I know
horses. Ask me anything.”
“Nonsense!’’ Old Mnn Catherton
fingered his money and looked anx
iously toward the windows. “You
don’t know what you’re talking
about. Luck Is what you need to
be a good reporter. Luck, by gnd I"
Terry obeyed a unashamed Im
pulse to look at Thelma Bland.
“That’s me all over, sir,” he said,
forcing the right note. “I’m a nat
ural.”
Old Catherton smirked. "Oh, you’re
a natural! Well—let’s see what you
can do. They’ll be closing the win
dows In n split second. Get over
there and buy a $10 ticket on Briar
bush. On the nose, mind you.
Quick, I can’t make It." He pushed
a large hill Into Terry’s right, hand.
Then Terry ran shouting as the
mnn was closing the window. The
man dissented but Immediately re
versed himself, grabbed the money
and shcved out a ticket and some
clinnge.
Old Man Catherton laughed when
he counted his money. “You’re It,
all right,” ho said. “Too much
change." Terry laughed. Thelma
laughed. Then they froze. Old
Man Catherton wms checking his
program with growing perplexity.
"And they gave you the wrong
horse 1”
Terry couldn’t say anything. He
stood there gaping while Thelma
rudely pulled the ticket from Old
Catherton’s stiff Angers.
“You take my advice, young man,"
Old Man Catherton bellyached, "and
get out of the newspaper business.
Writing ability Isn’t the big thing.
What we need Is men who know
what they're doing."
Sweat gathered under Terry’s
hatband, hut he tried to smile po
litely at Thelma Bland. None of
them noticed the sudden roar that
had developed along the track In
the last few minutes. Then the
crowd was racing madly toward the j
windows, shouting that good old !
Dream Kiss had come through.
Old Catherton heard them. “That’s
the long shot,” he cried. “What
was that number?” He looked at
them wondering what had become
f the ticket.
“That’s It,” Terry was yelling,
shaking him. “No 4—Dream Kiss!
Your ticket was 1735 on No. 4.
It’s paying a hundred to one!”
Since nobody offered to look for
his ticket Old Man Catherton
shoved trembling hands Into his
own pockets In wild search. They
watched him numbly pull his right
hand out of a pocket and let the
torn bits of cardboard flutter down
to the dust.
“I—1 must have been excited,” he
But he was a sport. “You’re
on. boy; can’t take that away from
yos. Wrong horse, too much
change and the horse wins! Well—
report whenever you’re ready.” He
wandered away.
“I was scared stiff,” Thelma
whispered, “after l had torn up that
ticket.”
"You t-tuh—what?”
“Yes! But then I thought It
would be a good idea to drop the
pieces Into his pocket. Wasn’t It
lucky I did ?”
City and Country Families
Why Early Marriages Are More Common Among Rural
Residents Than Among Their City Cousins,
Explained by Sociologist.
“People say there are three great
events In life: birth, death and mar
riage. We comment on and Joke
about marriage, because It lasts long
er. Once you are born, or once you
die, not much can be done about It.
Between these two Is marriage,
which we ran make either happy or
unhappy," says James A. McAleer of
the New York state college of agr!
culture.
Ittirnl folks marry earlier than city
folks, he points out. According to
the 1030 census, 58 women under
twenty live years of age out of each
100 In the country are married. Only
47 in the same age class In the city
are married. Among the boys, 31 In
the country are married, as compared
to 25 In the city. A third more rural
young people marry between the ages
of fifteen and twenty than city resi
dents of the same ages.
Burnl people marry early, be says,
because family life means more In
the country than In the city. Suc
cessful agriculture on a family-sized
farm Is more likely to be possible
with a satisfactory home life. Social
life, he adds, is less dominated by In
dividual self-interest, in the country
than In the city. In addition to the
economic importance of the farm
family, Is the social significance.
Members of the farm family are to
gether more of the time, and they
cannot lose themselves iu a crowd,
as city persons can.
“The rural family Is more stable,
more permanent, and less often dis
rupted by divorce or separation than
the city family,” Mr. McAleer says.
"Divorce Is less prevalent and de
sertion is nlmost unknown.
"Persons marry if they can afTord
It. Depressions cause a decrease Id
the number of marriages. One of
the best signs of recovery and re
vived confidence during the past
year has been the Jump In the num
ber of marriages.
"To maintain those traits of the
rural family which now exist and are
held to he desirable, the rural farm
population must attain a standard
of living equal to that of rural non
farmers and village residents," Mr.
McAleer avers.

Chew for Beauty,
Models Advised
/ *■ wmmm
Itythmie chewing, combined with
exercises of the head and neck, was
revealed recently at New York to

from the guild for information re
gnrdlng the system.

tions for the one illustrated: "Start

Chinese Good Wishes
Conveyed by Symbols
From the earliest times, ftsh hnve
played an Important part in Chinese
life and art, and in ttie Hook of Odes
we find constant references to them.
The homonym of fish is "abundance,”
and it is n symbol of power and rank.
They are among the charms given to
keep away demons and evil spirits.
The homonym of eagle Is "heroic,"
so that the picture of an eagle on a
rock is a symbol of heroism and of
tense and vigorous life. The wild
goose and the duck are symbols of
conjugal fidelity, and mutual assist
ance, so pairs of earthenware or por
celain ducks are favorite wedding
presents.
A white or golden pheasant on a
scroll Is an allusion to n council hn'l
In tlie Man Lin academy, and thus
the symbol expresses the wish that
the recipient may have happiness,
longevity and official preferment.
The crane is a bird of good augury,
and only surpassed by the phoenix.
It Is the aerial steed of the Immor
tals, for It was a crane which car
ried Kmperor Wang to the celes
tial world, so the gift of a crane
scroll signifies a wish of permanent
health.
