JUST A LITTLE TIP, PROF.

Everybody, of course is in favor of giving the
new weather administration fair chance, but
Right after Prof. Marvin took charge of the
Weather Service the town of Washington right under
his nose, came near being blown off, shocked off, and
washed off the map by most unmanageable meteor
ologic disturbance. -
And ever since that the whole country has been
suffering from drought that threatens the integrity
of the Great American Corn Crop.
Of course we don't think Prof. Marvin means
anything vicious but take friendly tip: The corn
crop is worth more even than an inaugural parade.

lapids. Bragg in charge of the life
saving corps, noted his companions pre-
dicament, as he was swept down stream.
Kelly's arms were cramped, and he
was unable to get a foothold on the slip
perry stones beneath him, and was car
ried by the current. without hesitation,
Bragg jumped into the torrent, and in
few seconds had Kelly safely in tow.
After few moments on shore, he was
again in sound condition, for he had
not swallowed any water, and was only
suffering from exhaustion. =

While Bragg took the matter Of the
rescue quietly he admitted that he
would like to get one OF the Carnegie
hero scholarships.
I've not had as much chance for an
education as | wish / had he told the
writer. 'Of course. I'd help a pal any
