A ROUND
MX AND
-TIL BOUT
With
Sarah Louise Meyer
Few indeed are the satisfactions
of columning, but occasionally one
hears of a reader, at which news
the average columnist seeks refuge
in long draughts of tUVi most con
venient restorative. Once in a
while even the reader noticed what
be read.
Our one sure reader, to date,
we understand, is in the psychol
ogy department. He was aroused
by our mentioning an Austrian
psychologist who got for himself
a chunk of publicity by telling
about the dogs' personalities. Our
local psychologist sez, "How can
that guy say dogs have personali
ties when we don't even know
whether people have them or not?"
At which point we recall various
crossroads bromides involving the
relative desirability of knowing
certain dogs to knowing certain
people.

I never did, I never did, I never
DID like "Now take care, dear!"
I never did, I never did. I never
DID want "Hold my hand."
I nc-v?r did, I never did, I never
DID think much of "Not up there,
dear."

Overheard: Thetas discussing the
"soul kissing." (Our kiss depart
ment reports no official file of this
particular gesture on record.)
Our "Dolly Dialogue'' for today:
"What I can't make out is why
women don't fall in love with me.
I'm all a man should be, and a rea
sonable number of things he
Shouldn't be."
Having been beaten to the draw
on this patlicular event, we go oil
to add to the Rag's society col
umn's account of the peregrina
tions of John Groth's fraternity
pin. It was reported on Carol
Emery, but what was not report
ed was that it traveled from her
to Mark Owens, who returned it
to Herr Groth.
Bob Pierce Just walked into the
Rag office, looked around at the
dozen or so neophytes crouched
over typewriters hammering away
at Kosmet Klub manuscripts,
and exploded, "I feel like Julius
Caesar or somebody."
Anent newspaper work: Wool
cott in an Afterward on Mary
White
"Newspaper work, like acting
and singing, is perishable. That is
the conventional thing to say
about it. It is high time someone
also said that, like acting and
singing, it is profoundly modest. I
count it a high honor to belong to
a trade in which the good men
write each piece, each paragraph,
each sentence, as painstakingly
and lovingly as any Addison, and
do do so in the full knowledge that
by noon next day it will have
been used to light a fire or saved,
if at all, to line a shelf."
(We recall having seen a by
line of ours enclosing mother's
garbage).
Our favorite newspaper story
concerns a newsboy. The big
story of the day concerned a
shooting in which a man had en
tered his office that morning, shot
and mortally wounded his part
ner, shot and superficially wound
ed a young man working in the
office, and then turned tho gun
on himself. As passersby hurried
past to their lunches that noon,
the boy chanted drearily, "One
dead, another dying, another
scared to death!"
By way of starting something
we don't intend to even try to
finish, we offer a partial list of

was started some time ago, and
we're tired of it already, but it
fills space).
DEMOCRAT BLACK
REFUTES SPEECH
PALO ALTO SAGE
(Continued from Page 1).
chairman of the senate investigate
ing committee reflected a pitiful
picture of ore-Rooseveltian condi
tions all over the nation through
brief newspaper sketches of chil
dren fainting in classrooms for
want of food, and urban starvlings
burrowing in the garbage cans
while the farmer burned his harv
est for fuel. In conjunction with
the relating of the incidents he
vividly turned to the program of
the inactive administration from
1928 to 1932 and showed that they
had done nothing to prevent the
suffering.
As the orator progressed he
shifted from his "argumentum ad
populum" to an attack on the per
sonality of the California states'
man. Referring to Mr. Hoover as
the tool of the Liberty league and
moneyed interests he quoted him
as stating that "in June, 1932, the
backbone of the depression had
been broken and all would have
been well if the budget had been
balanced."
In response to the assumption
that the nation was on the upward
trend in the year preceding the
coming out or the present ad
ministration, Mr. Black cited
scores of figures taken from head
lines in Chicago and New York
newspapers from which he built
his case. Citations relating the
failure of holding companies and
the folding up of business enter
prises led to the southern sena
tor's portrayal of starving and
suffering widows and children.
In concluding his repertoire of
Business failures and of the billions
of dollars lost thru bank closures,
Senator Black drew a hearty ap
plause from the meager audience
with a dramatic finale of "Blessed
are the youth of the nation for
they shall inherit the national
debt," as taken from Mr. Hoover's
recent appeal to anti-new dealers.
And after sufficiently reflecting
the plight of the Nebraska farmer
prior to 1933, Senator Black turned
to the present day farmer as
viewed after three years of the
new deal.
"The farmers income in Ne
braska in 1935 increased over 28
over the average agricultural in
come in 1932," the democratic
champion stated. "According to
Mr. Hoover it is 'sad' that the total
farm income increased from $165,
533,000 in 1932, to $183,000,000 in
1933, and to $234,594,000 in 1933,"
he continued.
In answer to the charge that the
present economy was an economy
of scarcity, Mr. Black cited fig
ures proving that in 1932 the farm
production had increased 64 over
1923, and in 1935 it had increased
over 90 over that of 1923. He
further charged that farmers
under the present administration
were producing at a smaller ex
pense than ever before for a great
er compensation.
Senator Black, who is author of
the Black Labor Bill and was one
of the big forces that contributed
to the passage of the TVA dem
onstrated confidence that the pres
ent administration would come
thru the approaching election with
flying colors. In conclusion he
stated that as long as the people
maintained their economic stabil
ity, they need not fear the loss of
liberty.
The Number 1 gentleman friend
smokes a pipe, uses no conscious
line, dances well, drinks only in
moderation, doesn't try to get a
date at the last minute and re
strains his rampant emotion.
