DDS FISH!

The world is full of trouble, each hour some
grief begins, and every ache is double, and every
woe is twins. The rouhles are earning don't
pay us for our toll, the gasoline we're burning
is mostly castor OIL Two cylinders are missing
the battery is lame; a byword and kissing is
life, the dismal game. And yet the folks seem
cheerful as they pursue their grina; the fellow
who is fearful is rather hard to find. hear the
people chatting and joshing as they pass, l hear
my neighbors laughing while hoeing garden sass;
| cannot understand it, such mirth all vain ap-
pears; this life does not demand tit rather
calls for tears. There's sorrow on the ocean,
there's sorrow on the shore; my rheumatism po-
ton relieves the pain more; woe like stream
meanders through life, and never quits; my horse
has got the glanders my cat is throwing fits
My skies are always clouded, for me no sun will
shine, in sackcloth am shrouded, in ashes re-
cline. My soul is torn by teasles, my days are
gray and grim, my hens have got the measles,
my ducks can't learn to swim; and yet / see men
grinning as though the world were fine; such
merriment seems shining when l am shedding
brine.

THE TULSA AFFAIR?

What is the truth about the Tulsa riot? News
dispatches tell just enough to whet curiosity. The
only outstanding features are that the races clashed,
a large number were slain and whole residence
section--ien blocks enc report says-was wiped
out by FIRE.
Such things disgrace our civilization The re-
port of such an affair coming from Russia, or Tur-
key, Or anywhere abroad, would be heralded as
indisputaole evidence Of the hopeless savagery of
those countries And we may be sure that when
foreigners read the story of Tulsa they draw un-
favorable contrasts between its butchery and our
fine precnsions of moral and spiritual leadership
in the world
The reports do not show which side was to
blame, exactly how it started, why The torch was
invoked, nor what attitude the legal authorities
ac taking toward the tragedy This silence IS
more eloquent than words. 1t is explainabe only
en- the hypothesis that the reporter for the Asso-
ciated Press felt that it would not be safe to be
specific. To that extent, his judgment was prob
ably correct. 1t is practically impossible that
such battle could be staged in city of that size
without gross official misconduct and shameless
abandonment to fury and prejudice on the part of
the citizens
Perhaps there is no part of this country in
which the law enjoys such undisputed sway as
to entitle Ii 10 call other sections to order But
decent citizens in every locality have a right to
demand better conditions and condemn awlessness
wherever it is practced. Responsibility for the
Tulsa riot should be placed directly upon the
shoulders CT the city authorities and the inAu-
entail citizens Of that city, and held there until
clear and complete abb is established

 So you see, gentle reader. that Miss Hawley is right. Her fluffy blonde looks and the amazing pulchritude of her looks often make a much more lasting impression than her most ser iouS opinions.

 -But my people believed in an al1- state university. where I enrolled for the regular arts course, carrying my music on the side. What good did those studies do me in the long run, you ask?

 Fortunately, I could act, a little. I had appeared in numerous amateur dramatic stunts during my school another thing education does for one it helps discover 1atant abilities.

You May THINK She's Fluffy But She ISN'T!I

Judge not, that he be not judged Or words to that effect That's the advice and request. of Miss Wanda Hawley. the clever young Realar, star.

 'Whatdya mean, handicap?" stut- tered the interviewer trying not to stare too boldly and admiringly at the blonde resses of the little lady. Well" explained Miss Hawley. penslVely, If your hair is light, and ffuHy, no matter how serious you real iy are by nature and inclination, mo- oody takes you seriously. They think light, fluffy mind. They never credit you with one single solemn thought, nor one single serious aspir- ation.
 q really think blondes, especially small blondes, are the most misunder- stood class in the world. Everybody thinks your one and only thought in fife must be to amuse and be amused. We are considered sort of /animat- ed doll, the kind of person to decor ate a musical comedy or a revue, but never the sort of person to hold seri- ous discussions with
 "Er-what's your idea of a serious discussion?"
 
 in all sorts of things" began Miss Haw1ey, briskly. First, last and all the time, I love music, possibly more than anything else in the whole wide world. and I am always glad to talk music to anyb ody who knows any thing about it-and credits me with enough sense to know something about it also! You see, I planned to he a professional musician and it was only because a serious illness perma- nently impaired my singing voice that I became an actress.
 She Likes Art.
 Then I am interested in literature and art-or perhaps I should state it more simply. and say that I love books, pictures. furniture, fabrics, and things like that. I read all I have time to, and I really like a serious disu cssion of modern tenden- cies in novels and the drama And I am interested in higher education, especially for women, because I was a. college girl myself at the State University of Washington, and am colleges reach the splendid end ment funds they have set for their goals.
 "One reason I believe in higher education for girls is that belieSe it makes them more self-reliant, more resourceful, in meeting the big and difficult problems of life. Take my own case, for example. People used to say to my parents, Why send her to college when she's going to be a

At the Palace.

Some of natures own harmony,
perfected by the guidance and di-
rection of a man, was one of the
most pleasing acts on the Palace
bilr for the first half of the week. A
triple sextet of canary birds, trill-
ing in tune to the accompaniment
of man-made instruments proved a
delightful novelty. The work of
the leader Of the act, Belmont, the
trainer, in initiating the tones of
the birds notes proved good.
The grandeur of Old South, with
its charming girls and gallant gen.
tlemen is always basis for an at
tractive act. One, the Offering Of
Forest and Church, in song and
dance ace in a southern setting
and costumed in the pretty simple
ness of the southland, brought
three encores.
THE Devil in Possession" was
the one act drama-comedy OF the
husband unsatisfied with his old
fashioned wife. That she was up
to-date when she wished but pleas
ed him more as the "Old Fashioned
Girl" was theme to the sketch and
the wife proved to the husbands
entire satisfaction that he was NOT
particularly keen about the mod.
ern, stylish, poetic, sentimental and
withal hysterical wife Of the day.
