Rieksha~ Men Abound

One Il the many things which at
tracted our attention in the city Of
Durham were the native 'rickshaw men
lust as YOU find them in China or
Japan. SO here in South Africa. the
man turns himself into beast Of
burden. Instead Of row Of motor
taNieabs along one side Of the public
square. one sees row of 'rickshaMs
with Enthusiastically dressed native men.
whiting for patrons Many have a
pair Of great. spreading cattle horns
tied 10 their heads and feather head
dress arranged arount them. which. in
some eases looks for all the world like
the spresd tail Of peacock. Most Of
them wear white suit trimmed with
red. jacket and shorts.

There is no crime wave In Viz

the recent statement OF thc Federal
Commissioner or Prohibition shows
that the prohibition laws are as we'll.
II not better. enforced in Virginia
than in other States.
This constant effort" the Cover
nor said, to picture Virginia as a
!aw!css state for the fur;hcrance of
partisan ends should bring upon her
iraducers the condemnation OF all
patriotic and law-ab!ding citizens"
In conclusion Governor Davis said
The statement that have made it
difficult to enforce the prohibition
law is false. as is the statement, TO
which have just replied, that have
embarrassed prohibition enforcement,
by the granting OF pardons. or every

We've all heard OF the clown who
reads Chaucer. Oh yes, the busy lit
tie fellows ahead of the circus have
seen to that. As a matter OF TACT.
there aren't any clowns who read
Chauccr They read about politics
and base ball; and the way they go
after current events Tor ideas upon
which to frame their acts is lesson
to direct action.
Clowns are rot, as has SO often
been stated, exceptionally moody
chaps when out of the ring. In fact
they are just ordinary fellows, much
the same as you anc ]. Some OF
them are well read, Of course, and
we'll educated. "Poodles' Hannc-

almost all of them high school grad
yates, some of them college men, but
they're not high brows.'
But whether clown is able to talk
smart dinner patter or not, he must
be versatile in funmaking. All but
the biggest stars of the laughter bri-
gadc must play in the clown band,
of which Art Borello, the noted
american funster, is leader. Spader
Johnson, billed for years as the
funniest man in the world when
out of makeup looks like all ag-
gressivc man of big business. At
that, he is, in a way, for he is veal
thy, with plenty Of commercial at
fairs on his hands.
"Poodles" Hanneford, who is only
70, looks like bank clerk, when
lie is not thrilling and convulsing
