TRY TO DISCREDIT CASTLE
AS A VETERAN.

Proposal to change the name OF
Vernon Castle Boulevard to "Boule.
ward" in Fort Worth, Texas, has
raised storm of protest from local
veterans. Residents of the street
have petitioned the city commission
to make the change. The fact that
Castle, killed in plane crash in
Fort Worth, during the war, was
dancer before he entered the SER
viee,is said to be the principal reason
the change is desired.
Veterans contend that Castle
should be honored as soldier in
action, and that he died for his
country teaching it's defenders how
how to fly and fight in the air after
he himself had served overseas.

The table on the left is modern
adaptation--but very good and use
full. The handles on each end make
it possible for one to carry it about
as tray. 1t has a steady base,
tho small, SO may be tucked in be-
tween chairs and used as tea
table.
The table on the right is also an
adapted design which savors of the
Empire style. The solid board ends
make it most substantial. The drop
leaves on each end increase the sur
face use and the drawer adds an
other useful feature. 1t might be
used as a serving table in the din
ing room, the drawer for silver or
linen, or as a sewing table. 1t
would also be useful in living

useful to hold cards, bridge scores

WHY THEY HOOTED DEMPSEY

Reports of the -Firpo
fight are unanimous in remarking
the attitude of the more than $4,000
spectators at the end of the first
round. Every available account of
the proceeding cites sudden, spon-
taneous clamor from all corners of
the field that the South American
polish off the champion after a ter
rifle right to the jaw had catapul-
ated Dempsey out of the ring.
The great "Boo!" which swept the
stand at the finish of that round
was directed at the champion.
There was more to this state of
mind than the curious human inn
pulse to howl anathema on the god
in the process of tumbling from
Olympus. 1t was born of deeper
impulse in which the personality of
Dempsey no less than the imperson-
al status of champion was a major
element.
The truth is, that clothed in the
misty aura of champion for four
years, the real American has never
forgotten the Dempsey behind the
cloak of greatness. He has never
lost sight of the Dempsey who fore
swore the respect of every American
by his course in another conflict in
which four million men with no
fraction of his physical endowment,
many of them with wives and child
rem and dependent kin, enlisted will
lingly and in full consciousness of
their sacrifice in war which cost
the lives of more than $4,000 of
their number in foreign fields.-De-

THE TOWN RAT AND THE
COUNTRY MOUSE

Once upon time the Town Rat
came to visit the Country Mouse.
The Town Rat used lip stick, but
the Country Mouse used wash rag.
You'll never catch a Sheik with
that outfit" said the Town Rat
with sheer. But the Country
Mouse only blushed and said nothing.
That night they went TO 'par-
ty." The Small Town Sheiks fell
for the Town Rat like a ton of
brick. But they decided the taste
of the Town Rats lipstick was not
as attractive as the Country Mouse's
homemade pies, so the Town Rat
returned to her hole in the wall
without single heart to gnaw on.
But the Country Mouse soon had a
Love Nest and three squares a day.
MORAL: She who bushes nat
nrally bushes longest.

of rival schools of the banana cult,

THE converse will not always

by anticipation for the ethnologist
who some day will argue that the
inhabitants of the United States, in
one of the critical periods of their

lived exclusively on bananas for
breakfast, luncheon and dinner, and
not on twenty-seven varieties of
that staple. but on single, invar-
liable species.

much more in consonance with the

would lead all the countries in the
