Each national committee has tried
to outvie its rival in extending the
glad hand of welcome to the women.
The republicans have admitted them
to membership on all important sub

tirely of women to cooperate with
them.

both national conventions, regularly
elected by primaries or state conven-
tions, and there will be scores OF
woman alternates. Women Will un-

VS.. AMUSEMENT

this ball game. Well when you go to a
ball game between the Pathetics and
who ever IS trying not to beat them.
why, according to Tiny you half TO
So no sooner had the game started when
I noticed that they was a bug In the
upper deck that had broughten phono-
graph with him. Well the minute the
game started he put on a record and
Tiny said that the advantage Of that
system was that II the record didn't go
very good why the guy could put on a
new needle and 1t would probably work,
whereas IL Connie Mack put in a new
pitcher he probably wouldn't.
So said to Tiny:
81 think this guy has got a good idear,
namely, that when he goes to a place
that he has got to pay to get in but he
don't think he is going to get whole
lot of entertainment out of it. why he
brings along his own entertainment in
case the entertainment he paid for don't
live up the expectations.
So I and Tiny agreed to recommend
this system to different people that goes
out trying to enjoy themselves and some
times they come homo saying that they
had a rotten time, but II they use this
system why they can't have rotten
time, as follows:
1. Well when you go to a football
game VS.. Yale and Princeton expecting
to enjoy yourself and you been reading
in the paper for weeks and wks. and
weeks about the different stars on both
mines and you finely get out there and
you can't tell 1 man from the other.
why bring along a ouija board and try
and make II find out who is running
with the ball or fumbling it as the case
may be.
2. Well, suppose you was going to a
vaudeville show Well. they's an Old
Age" and when the comedians is out
there you can read that, and they's
also an old music book called ''klavier
werke" or elementary exercises for the
hands witch goes pretty good as read
ing matter when you don't like the
music acts.
8. Well, suppose you was going to
dance and you finely got one with
lad that you didn't know very well or
else you had knew her so long that you
had talked each other out. well. theys
a book called speech and Manners"
with whole lot Of good dialogue in II
that Is also easy to hold in one hand
and read it out loud and dance with the
other.
funeral and the flowers didn't prove
very amusing, why it's whole lot
safer to take along a couple OF daffodiiss
or whatever is your favortte floral piece
and try and enjoy them and not pay no
tension to the regular gifts that was
sent in.

Difficulties Of TranspaeiAc All

According to Brig. Gen. William
Mitchell. Signal Corps. head of the
aviation section. the projected trans
pacific air flight will be the most diff
fcult feat ever attempted by aircraft
and the men who succeed in crossing
the Pacific by air will indeed have
won the highest place In aeronautical
annals" He says that the shortest
route possible would be somewhat
similar to the great circle route, but
would cut the Aleutian islands, pass
ing north Of the center of the group.

Inalaska. Presumins that the aviator

possible route to Yokohama, Gen.
Mitchell says. he would have to travel
