Tuesday May Have Been Worse
By IRVTN S. COBB
OUT JN Australia two Cockneys were sentenced to die for an atrocious
murder. As the date for execution drew nearer the nerves of both
of them became more and more shaken. Dawn of the fatal morning
found them in a state of terrific funk.
As they sat in the condemned cell waiting the summons to march
to the gallows one of the pair said:
"Me mind's all in a whirl. I carn't seem to remember anything
I carn't even remember what dye of the week it is."
"It's Monday," stated his companion in misfortune.
Ow!" said the first one, "wot a rotton wye to start the week!"
KANSAN WANTS SCHOOL
DANCE IN CURRICULUM
TOPEKA, Kas. (UP) The art of
dancing, which once was banned from
Kansas schools as sinful, is back in
such favor that State Sen. Payne
II. Ratner of Parsons wants it rec
ognized as an important part of the
curriculum.
Ratner's efforts are being made
as part of a campaign to exempt
extra-curricular activities from the
state's sales tax. Ratner argued be
fore the Kansas Supreme Court that
a youth must learn to dance to boast
of an education.
The state senator seeks the exemp
tion of student dance tickets from
the sales tax and also wants football
game tickets similarily exempted. The
Hollon, Kas., school board has refus
ed to pay the tax on its school events
and the state tax commission has
begun mandamus proceedings to force
this payment.
"The boy or girl who isn't educat
ed in dancing goes into the world
under a great handicap," Ratner aid
"and may not be able to hold his own
with the youngsters of other states."
At one time in Kansas when Miss
Lorraine Elizabeth Wcoster was state
school superintendent, a campaign to
eliminate dancing from school build
ings was conducted.
SEEK FUNDS FOR SICK
OMAHA, Nov. 9 (UP) The plan
of 430 "insurg-ent" members of the
American Medical association to ob
tain federal funds for the care of the
indigent sick has found a defender
today in Dr. C. W. M. Pointer, dean
of University of Nebraska medical
school here.
The plan is no more "state medi
cine" than is the government's policy
of providing jobs for jobless "state
labor" said Dr. Pointer.
The plan is meeting with the op
position of the medical association
and will be discussed at a meeting:
of the board in Chicago November 18
according: to Dr. Morris Fishbein,
editor of the association's official pub
lication. "This is the first I have heard of
J.he so-called insurgent movement"
oaid Dr. Pointer. "I have always
been against state medicine but I
have also always maintained that the
poor are entilted to medicial care no
matter where it comes from."
