WHAT WERE THEY THERE FOR
Reporters Seemingly superfiuous
Question as to Happenings at
Cabinet Meetings.

Postmaster General Meyer is of a
serious turn of mind, but he has bit
of humor In his makeup. nevertheless.
Being looked upon as the shrewdest
politician in the presidents cabinet, he
is the objective point for newspaper
correspondents on cabinet days.
Last week as Mr.. Meyer emerged
from the White House a newspaper
man asked:
"Mr. Postmaster General, can't you
give us some news about the cabinet
meetings."
There really is nothing to say" re-
piled the cabinet officer. I'VE dis
cussed nothing of especial impor-
lance"
do you mean to say you did not
discuss politics?" the newspaper man
queried.
The postmaster general burst into
laughter. When he recovered his u.s.
ual serenity he said:
do you suppose we were all muz-
zled?"

What is a grasshopper? The latest
definition comes from western Aus
tralia. Domestic servants are almost
unprocurable there, and wives have to
do nearly all their own household
work. The consequence is that they
are compelled to recuperate at the sea-
side in summer. In their absence the
husbands have to prepare their own
meals and do domestic duty generally.
Husbands SO engaged have come to be
locally known as 'grasshoppers." No
doubt the word is the husband OF the
more familiar grass widow. Lon

The majors may draft but one
