LEAGUE OF NATIONS
HEAVILY BOMBARDED
WITH CRANK LETTERS
tBy Associated Press,

GENEVA. Nov. 2-The general
offices of the League of Nations re-
.ceive daily an enormous number of let
tiers from pretty well all over the
world, and in these contributions the
crank is well represented. The mail
clerks are busy individuals, for theirs
is the duty Of sorting and redirecting.
Countries outside the league produce
the largest number of correspondents
The United States is far in the lead,
and the cranks in America who feel
called upon to tell the league what
1t should do are seemingly without
number.
But Germany and Soviet Russia also
aid generously in keeping the mail
clerks occupied. Africans and Asiat.
les, as well as Europeans and Ameri-
cans, find the most extraordinary ex,
cuses for communicating with the
league, showing there is a worldwide
mis-conception as to what the league
is and what it was set up to do
The Secretariat gets vast amount
of mail matter that ought to go to the
foreign Office of different governments,
and it receives also a greater numbe-
of suggestions, applications and petit
tons that ought to go nowhere. Men
and women bring to the league in al;
languages of the world their heart
aches. their headaches, and the ach
ing voids in their pocketbooks.
Asked Many Questions
The Secretariat is asked for the ad-
dresses of reliable doctors; begged to
find lost husbands, and appealed to to
settle domestic as well as other quar-
rels. The requests for funds come
along in a steady stream The leagu
has not even been immune from the
beguilements of the confidence mer,
several Americans of this species hav.
ing tried to use the Secretariat to help
them out with their passport troubles
Among the most frequent appeals
are these: that the league makes the
world bone dry. that it suppress to-
bacco as well as all drugs and drinks:
that 1t institute a universal religion
that 1t reform the calendar. that it
adopt a universal language; and that
1t give votes to women the world over
The suggestions are mostly for the
cure of the worlds economic and finan-
cial ills. but some correspondents wan
to show the league how universal
peace can be restored through the gen.
eral adoption OF their particular re
ligion, want, to design a new world
flag, or make the league all over again
after their fashion
The league is often asked to settle
strikes and to pacify divided families
The latest curious demand was from
a romancer who wanted material tc
write an exciting novel about the
league he was referred to the Near
East section.

LAUGHING JAckAss
"NARY GRAHAM BOWER


Billie Brownie went a-calling ON
some of his friends at the zoo.
Hello, Laughing Jackass," he said
to big bird of the Kingfisher Bird
'amily.
Hello" said the Laughing Jackass.
You're not laughing" said Billie
Brownie.
NO" said the Laughing Jackass,
i've been trying to laugh for some
time, but I've heard nothing to laugh
it."
"1n fact, jokes have been becoming
'ery scarce of late. Very scarce"
You don't always wait for Jokes,
10 your" asked Billie Brownie. Don't
you laugh at times Just for the sake
of laughing?"
"Of course" said the Laughing

"And L laugh at night, for 1t seems

"At times laugh for other reasons,

II speak as though they went about

'erhaps I'll laugh at that.
II did hear funny expression or
;aying the other day. Someone said
hat she couldn't make head or tail Of
certain thing. And 1t seems that she
| meant she couldn't understand this
:ertain thing at all.
81 thought that was rather funny.
You see, she felt that when she said
she couldn't make head or tail Of 1t
she was very clear in showing that
ihe had not been able to understand it.
"And there Is sense to that, too. For
he head is at one end of a creature
and the tail Is at the other end, and
f one can't understand anything from
,ne farthest point to the other far
hest point, 1t is pretty good express
sion to speak like that.
"Yet people haven't tails, and so

A FEELING OF SECURITY

You naturally feel secure when yos
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every bot
tie of Swamp-Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
It is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and bladder
troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp.
Root.
If you need medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
