In chirping on the cabinet situation, Senator Adenoids said: "America
is a democracy. A man should be able to sleep with his shoes on." The
senator was elected to congress on the crest of the prohibition wave, which
dried up America last summer.
The senator used to guzzle some

Senator Adenoids continued: "The senate is with Mr. Lansing to a

"Each day. Woody sends the peace treaty over to the senate and each
day we clip some of its tail'off. There is no chance of a democratic presi
dent next year. I would describe this year as the best administration that
the republicans ever had. That's a fine cabinet pudding that Woodrow
has cooked up. If it wasn't for the reading of the peace treaty each day,
I would never grab any sleep. The treaty might be described as the sena
torial lullabv. .
"They say that the world is safe for democracy, but I notice that every

even chain up the soap. They never chain np the hotel rates. They run

The senator was the gent who discovered that a United States senator
didn't have to pay fare on the railroads. He took advantage of the laun
dry franking privilege by wearing his laundry on all trips and franking
himself all over the world.

In spite of the senator's sarcasm, the United States is still a democ
racy. Every American boy has a chance of firing a cabinet some day.
In the old days of beer checks, a cabinet position was considered a
fairly permanent job. F'our years was a long time, especially in a town
like Washington, where even the sparrows can't fly fast enough to build a
nest in a century plant. Now, the cabinet guys get fired so often that they
are always one jump ahead of their last mailing address. The guy who
starts a cigar as secretary of the interior, generally finishes the smoke as
.secretary of the exterior. The secretary of agriculture is harvested long
before the other crops. Whoever is nominated secretary of state doesn't
bother about taking his hat off when he takes the job. It's lost motion.
Bryan had that job once and brought his dinner pail along. He admits
this was his only political mistake. It's only a breakfast jobv
The cabinet is just like one big family. Always fighting.
A new job has just been created in Woody's cabinet. It's secretary of
the gate with the oiled hinges. Whenever another secretary shows symp
toms of developrrtg a personal pronoun, the secretary of tlie gate returns
Woody's wink and another good man crashes the exit.

The cabinet meetings are very formal. All the secretaries are stove-lcague-ing
it around a big table, thinking of Woody and trying to keep
warm. " That's a tough job when you're- thinking of the boss. But as
soon as Woody steps into the room the' cabinet breaks out into a rash of
formality. '
When Woodrow waltzes into the room all the secretaries iumo to

The American Legion's athletic

that isn't the feature event of the

The telephone is more than a mere machine. Back of it are human
hands guiding, the very intricate mechanism which furnishes you serv-
ice.
In Omaha alone there
More than 380,000 telephone calls are made in Omaha every day.
This number was greatly increased during the recent influenza epi
demic, at a time when we were greatly handicapped by from 15 to 20
per cent of our operators at home on account of sickness.
The service rendered by your telephone is the only known service
that is measured in seconds. You often wait at a bank or store several
minutes while people are served in the line ahead of you. But when
several telephone calls come in ahead of yours and you have to wait, you
become anxious.
Today conditions are far from normal, but telephone service is
still measured by seconds and the telephone people are making every
effort to cut those seconds to the shortest possible number.
t
We believe the telephone could better serve you if you knew it bet
terif you understood the maze of delicate equipment and finely ad
justed machinery with which the operators have to deal in furnishing
you service.
It would be helpful to you and to us if you would visit one of our
central offices and see the heart and brain of your telephone. You
could see where your line comes into the switchboard and you could
watch the operators at work and see that the girls are doing their very
best to furnish you accurate and dependable telephone service.
You can make arrangements at the telephone company's business
office to go through any of the central offices at any time, and we shall
be glad to have you. There you will see the congestion that sometimes
slows down the service and there you will witness the efforts of loyal
and cheevful telephone operators who help furnish you service under
conditions which will make you marvel that the service is as good as it is.

The Clearing House has dozens of
promising players in its files. Any
manager in need of a player in any
position would do well to select 6m.
from the Clearing House. After a
tryout the selection may prove just
what he wants.
Out-of-town managers have a
good opportunity to line up good
material before the men are all
"sorted" and the best ones takui.
No charge for Clearing House serv
ice. Players not yet connected with

list their names in the Clearing
House free of charge.
