Just to get a line on the admin
istration, it might be well to take a
census and find out if parents still
are naming babies "Nira."
:o:
Among other criticisms of the
Whistler "Mother" stamp is the point
that it would look a lot better if it
said "Two" instead of "Three."
-:o:-
- Former Vice-President Curtis says
if he were to write a book, nobody
would believe him. Was that the ex
perience Dolly Gann had with her
book?
:o:
We always know we are in a good,
old-fashioned 100-per-cent American
home when we see a picture of a bas
ket of fruti hanging on one of the
walls of the dining room.
- -:o:-
When all other Dillinger clues
failed, the Detroit News advised
looking for him on the roster of the
Cincinnati Reds; but now that's
failed, and they're suspecting Dil
linger is dead.
. -:o:
Washington gossips say Senator La
Follette is feeling the lure of a third
party race pretty strongly thess days.
It takes a special sensitiveness tc
feel a lure from something nobody
else can even see.
:o:
"An intimate says General John
son is a most companionable soul in
his hours of ease," notes (Harry Wade
in the Detroit News. "Few of us
have seen the general when he has
let down his face for the night."
:o:
How nice- it would have been to
cast George Arliss as Pancho Villa.
Unless, of course, the French would
object to having Pancho imitate Vol
taire, the Jews Rothschild, the Eng
lish . Disraeli and. the Republicans
'Alexander Hamilton. Or tho" Mex
icans become aroused at all those
fellows imitating Pancho.
:o:
Now we know what became of all
tho old-fashioned Irish ball players
when the Italians and the Czechs
drove them out of the big leagues.
They went into the Jewish League
in Philadlphia. A Jewish League box
score in the Philadelphia Inquirer
lists Ilarkins, MeGarvey, Dunn, Pat
terson, O'Donnell and Mackey.

PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA
Neb., as second-class mail matter
Planned economy is when a man
gets married on $20 a week.
-:o:
A local man has a cr.i:ous on his
nose from drinking too much beer
out of a stein.
:o:
If we understand the language of
the merry morticians now in conven
tion, the difference between a coffin
and a casket is that the coffin
streamlined.
. :o:
is
And it may turn out, if things
get much worse, that those who are
meek enough to inherit the earth will
be too meek to undertake the task of
operating it.
:o:
The government is organizing to
fight crime, and is asking appropria
tions to arm the federal agents. Why
not, in the interests of economy, take-
a few of the criminals' guns away
from them and give them to the
agents?
:o:
One side in the controversy says
the trouble is what the NRA is doing
to business; and the other side says
the trouble is what business is doing
to the NRA. It looks as if there can
be no real settlement until the Liter
ary Digest takes a poll.
:o:
Of course, we are very glad Mary
land was founded 300 years ago, and
it has been a very useful little com
monwealth, from Lord Calvert down
to H . L. Mencken, but we hadn't ex
pected to go to all the trouble red 3
cent stamps can make just on Mary
land's account. f
:o:
The Boston Transcript says a good
many of President Roosevelt's advis
ers remind one of old King Canute's
courtiers who assured that monarch
the tide .wouldn't dare to. disregard ,
his commands. The record indicates,!
however, that even Canute's courtiers
were convinced, after one erperiment. '
:o:
"All women are squirrels," says
Edna Ferber, "because they instinc
tively hide things." It would be all
right if they hid only things that be
longed to them, but when they hide
everything of the menfolk's from
their spring neckties to the keys to
the family car, no mere explanation
of squirrelity i3 going to answer.

Europ is reconciled to the failure
of disarmament. It should also re
concile itself to the failure of the
next war to settle anything.
. :o:
Many a poker player who has seen
dawn cramp his winning would like
to be on the Byrd expedition. In the
Antarctic it will be night from now
until next fall.
:o:
Perhaps one cause of the depres
sion, is that in the old days mother
made undies for herself and the
girls from flour sacks. Lately she
buys silk for all of them.
:o: -
A string of New York orange drink
stands has been sold in bankruptcy
court. The new owner, we trust, will
continue to operate the stands, as this
is no time to turn a crew of red
hpaded cirls out upon a distressed
world.
. :o:
By getting a new office in the de
partment of agriculture Professor
Tugwell will manage a 25 per cent
increase in salary for himself. Now,
if he will manage as well for the
farmprs whom he has taken under
his care, that will be something.
:o:
Short skirts may be coming back
as the fashion sharks predict, but
the chanse will have less influence
upon .women's ready-to-wear bust
ness than when long skirts succeed
Pfl short. Tho eirls can take the
scissors and make a short one out of
a long one.
:o:
A f.irmrr writes that he will be
the gladdest person in Nebraska when
the denressio nis finally over. Not
that he's hard pressed personally
but his daughter brought her bus
band back to the farm to live until
things got better, and he's an effi
ciency expert.
:o:
General Johnson assures the "lit
tle fellows" who imagine they have
been injured by NRA regulations
that they are just seeing things. Lit
tle fellows who have trouble meet
ing their pay roll3 might pay in scrip
with one of the general's speeches
printed on the back.
:o:
II. L. Mencken speaking of the
"brain trust" says: "Go back to
teaching sophomores to be ashamed
of their fathers." lie might have
made that statement a little more
effective, had he said: Go back to
teaching sophomores -so.. their fathers
may -De asi1raed of them.
:o:
A California man was convicted
the other day of first degree murder
on two counts for killing his wife
and another man. The jury imposed
the death penalty only in the mur
der of his wife, however. Probably
a light fine will settle the other mat
ter. At any rate, we see that the
ends of justice arc whittled down
to a pretty fine point nowadays, es
pecially in California.
Our opinion is that June Roble'3
return home would have been a happy
event even without those two "ones"
on her grade card.
:o:
Movie actress, denying that she's
to marry Max Baer, says she doesn't
even know him. As if that had any
thing to do with it.
:o:
It appears now that some of the
sins of boom time parents are going
to be visited upon their children in
the form of bond issues.
:o:
It's nice to hear the old songs.
and educational, too in the case of
many which prove to be not nearly
bo good as we once thought they
were.
:o:
A good place to put one's trouble's,
says somebody, is in your pocket
which is full of holes but say! Some
troubles are too big to slip through
the holes.
. :o:
Too bad the health authorities
didn't discover dandelion greens be
fore they did spinach. Tho annual
lawn menace might have been done
away with.
:o:
Recent strong south winds may
have bscn caused by the whispering
campaigns in Oklahoma, where there
are more than 1,200 candidates for
state office.
:o:
Tardy appreciation of one who ap
pears to be quite an artist: Indiana
has raised her reward, offered for
the capture of John Dillinger, from
$25 to $1,000.
-:o:-
We noticed an old-timer examin
ing the fixtures in a beer place the
other day. He remarked, "These
light boards they use now may be all
right, but in my day they needed 2
by 12's."
;o:
Business really is much easier than
it was. Two years ago it wasn't pos
sible to go a block along Main street
without having four persons tell you
the priceless things Amos and Andy
said the night before.
:o:
The record of the 50-yard sprint
at Vassar which had stood for fifty
years was broken the other day by
the daughter 'of the girl who set it.
If Vassar were in Kentucky, a new
futuritv race micht crow out of
this. .... .
- -rr ':o: :
Great Britain announces a trade
war with Ja'pan, but adds that it
will be entirely on a friendly basis.
Indeed, somewhat like the trade wars
the bootleggers and beer runners used
to nut on in our bis cities before
repeal.
:o:
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat won
ders what the heathen think about
us when they see us in the movies,
and wonders also why one of them
doesn't write a book about it. Per
haps, because he is a heathen, he is
too polite to'-w?press an opinion.
:o:
The Yemeni army is reported to
have retreated toward Sana, after
the fall of the seaport town, Hodei
dah. This, says Eddihix, should not
be confused "with the battle of hi-
de-ho, which Helen Kane, the boop
oon-a-doon cirl. lost in the courts
last week.
:o:
"Jim" Reed is against the new
deal. So arc many others. But on
one point he does an injustice to our
favorite- congressman. Reed predi
cates his candidacy on the promise
that "somebody ought to tell the peo
ple what i3 happening." In heaven's
name where has he ben that he hasn't
heard of Dr. Wirt and Congressman
McGugin?
:o:-
A PARADISAIC DREAM
I'm singing the praise of a dish
that's fit
For the board of an epicure
Whose savor and odor on mortal
taste
Yields an almost magical lure.
With lots of good gravy and
rich pie crust.
And seasoned until just right,
You'll find nothing else on the
bill of fare
That so tempts human appetite.
A whiff of its fragrance as you
lift the lid
Is a dream of Arcady's shore;;
And a sense of Elysian food
greets the taste
That has never been met with
before.
You'll feast for the nonce in
Paradise,
And dine on repasts of the blest.
As your soul soars aloft ia
realms of blias,
Till your Jaded maw craves
rest.
Then you'll get back to earth
with its sordid careB
And awake with a long drawn
g j er Y ,
Yet memory will dwell cn the
taanna you ate
When you absorbed that chick-
en pie. K-
An observer says the receivership
of bankrupt concerns in Chicago has
developed into a "pure, simple rack
et." Pure in the sense of being un
adulterated, we presume.

A new kind of soap which leaves
no ring in the bathtub is ready for
the market. Now for the ringless
telephone, and the bath wil be a few
moments of uninterrupted pleasure.

Pyromanlac motorists who scatter
burning cigarette stubs along coun
try highways might enjoy their pleas
ure trins more if they stopped to
watch the prairie and forest fires they
start.
