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.
