A Curb Hopper.


Last night about 9 o'clock:

down Thirteenth knocked MN

1.-THE Dodge man said he backed
out a little quicker than usual,
because he'd looked up Thirteenth
and didn't see anyone coming.
The way he was looking, the only
thing he could see was a boudoil

The court: 1.-THE law says that
you must signal your intention to
pull away from the curb, whether
you're in, hurry or not. The
man in the Ford may have been
in hurry, too. Have YOU got
$4O?"

wrong side and cost me so cents
worth of brake lining.
The Silver Lining.
1.-THE lady on the front seat

outrageous, she said, that people

Mr. Brown urged furtherance of
the ideals Of Rotary:

in its right place and every nail
driven true, remembering as we do
the fundamentals Of its founders
and keeping in mind it is better to
grow slow and safe than fast and

How the Rotary international Is
spreading through out the world, ana
cementing international friendships,
was told 10 the Ninth district Rotary
conference by Benjamin {. Brown OF
New Orleans. director of Rotary In
telnutional. this morning.
1T IS Rotary, not tor Rotarian' 5
sake, but Rotary for the world's
sake" said Mr.. Brown. Rotary is
striving to turn the wheel against
the old Idea that business Is bust
ness or let the buyer beware and
II is part of our obligation as Ro-
tariaus not only 20 preach it, but to
demonstrate il in our daily lives.
No doctrine however high, however
true, can make men happy unless 1t
Is translated INTO action.
In England, the land that is
bound by tradition of hundreds of
years the Rotarians there are now
calling each other by their first
names This Is something unknown
in the British Isles 1t has broken
d, wn the reserve between men and
brought them into Il greater degree
OF brotherhood
Changes iewpOints
Rotary has changed the viewpoint
OF men. 1t has taught them to know
that cooperation is not impossible
when tied with competition. There
Is no reason just because men are in
the same lines of business that they
be enemies. Acts remember nothing
is accomplished without work and
persistence. 1t is our duty TO be
successful and it is no disgrace to
make million dollars if YOU can.
provided you do it honestly"
Rotary had clubs in Uruguay and
Porto Rico in 1918, in Argentina,
China, India, Panama. and the Phi
lirpine Islands IN 1919, in the Canal
Zone and Japan IN 1870, IN Australia
Denmark, France, Mexico and New
Zealand in 1927 and in Holland and
Brazil in 1922, he said
FAlthough,' said Mr.. Brown,
I'VE now have AZ clubs in these coun-
tries speaking nine different langu
ages and twenty-five of the clubs
were organized in the last two years
1t is significant that these clubs
arc chiefly composed of the nationals
OF the countries in which they are
located. We must realize the imporI
lance of reaching the native business
and professional man in each nation
and establishing Rotary on such &
basis as will command his respect
and merit his membership"
