Before marriage a man yearns, and after marriage the "y" is silent. :o: Another thing that is hurting this country is that no one seems to know what it is all about. j :o: No wonder the new dealers are a bit touchy about the Hoover articles. It seems the ex-President won't even admit they're the liberals they think they are. :o: The consenss at or luncheon table yesterday was that the Morro Castle disaster was bad enough without the Ward line's clumsy efforts to make it look better. :o: : Finland is the only nation which has paid her war debts in full and on time. Does anybody remember, by the way, which side Finland was cn in the Great War? :o: "Government statistics have been improved somewhat," says l New Vork editor. That's so often one of the troubles with statistics. No body wants to let them tell the story in their own way. i :o: Some one with a flair for statistics hops up with the comforting intelli gence that crooners have a bigger chest expansion than football play ers. Maybe Ohio State could beat Michigan with a glee club. :o: Will Rogers has been visiting in Vienna, where, he says, the next world war is expected to begin. He also should drop in cn the playing fields of Eton, and thus have the next year pretty well covered in ad vance. :o: Modern dancing i3 just enough walking to make an excuse forb hold ing a girl in one's arms, declares the dancing master who teaches West Pointers their steps. Isn't that a good enough excuse for any kind of dancing? :o: The reason General Johnson's sal ary was so low the first year of the NRA was that he was so busy he wouldn't have had time to spend more. Now that his duties are being lightened, he has to have more money to support his leisure. One Hitler says Germany is 90 per cent pure. If it was Just a little purer it would float. . :o: Wall Street broker's joke: "Yeah, one of my boys is working in Wall Street, and the other one can't make a living, either." :o: Al Smith's crowd is trying to save democracy from the Democrats. Mr. Hoover is trying to rescure liberty from the liberals. :o: "A Chicago Gangster Dies Penni less." Thus far, all to the good. Now if there were ome way of getting it away from the lawyer who got it away from the gangster :o: It is perhaps a little early, but we haven't read any stories from Big Six debate coaches as to whether they have been successful in lining up promising freshman material. . :o: Training activities for the latest welterweight championship fight fail ed to arouse much interest in one local man who is now getting him self in codition for the furnace stoking season. :o: A college professor has perfected a device by means of which he can take samples of a person's breath and tell whether cr not he has had enough liquor to make him drunk. If you think there is any doubt about it, better hold your breath. :o: Why do child psychiatrists make so many debatable statements? One of them was quoted the other day as saying that if the child wants a saxophone, the parent should buy it, because it is better than buying him a- revolver. . :o: A Washington Observer says more rescues might have been made from the Morro Castle if a 17-knot coast guard cutter hadn't been sent off up to Greenland to fetch Ruth Bryan Owen heme, leaving the coast patrol to a cutter which made only nine knots an hour. May we hasten to the defense of Mrs. Owen by saying that even if she did borrow the coast guard's fastest cutter, she probably didn't know the Morro Castle was going to catch on fire? Form of Inflation We AH Do Without Although those whom he called upon during his eastern trip have said little, it seems certain that Up ton Sinclair is going to get his fed eral aid. :o: Some folks are cf the opinion that Huey Long is entitled to a little credit (or not cloaking his state pro gram with the pretention that it will promote recovery. :o: Twenty unemployed men were en gaged recently to watch Loch Ness and see if the monster were still there. They reported having seen it twenty-one times, which indicates they like the work and wish to con tinue. :o: It will be some time before such a problem confronts movie executives, but what they will do after they have used up the phrase, "at last we have found the perfect romantic team," by costarring every masculine actor with every actress of note. :o: Asbury Park, N. J., wants to buy the charred hull of the Morro Castle as a museum or resort attraction. It would seem that any community so desperately in need of attractions as to want the Morro Castle should not be charged real money for it. :o: Parents in a certain Arkansas town who recently named their twins William Dyess and Floyd Sharp, in honor of some FERA officials, were taken off the relief rolls after an in vestigation by case workers. And now the children's names have been shortened to plain Bill and Floyd. :o: - Wasn't his name Antaeus, the my thical giant whose strength was mul tiplied every time ho was thrown to the besom of Mother Earth? Some thing similar to the process, appar ently, by which Upton Sinclair's Democracy is tripled whenever he leans on the bosom of Jim Farley. :o: Harry L. Hopkins, Democrat, di rector of federal relief, is very much humiliated to learn that his brother in Tacoma, Wash., is running foi coroner on the Rspublican ticket. Still, the brother may be elected and then one Republican will be re moved from Mr. Hopkins's relief roll. :o: What dreams must a resigned di rector of the budget have after leav ing his desk in the whirlwind of Washington. Up to- thefee4 posts, along tho foot of the bed, over the covers, smirking and grimacing, would inarch the army of dollar signs,, decimals, commas and per centage marks. And at the door, the poor old budget, too large to get in side and pursued by a pack of gents in cutaways and silk hats, would stretch out his arms and scream for help. :o:- Journal ads bring you news ot timely bargains.
