"And I'm not afraid, but we can't

In Tin-Pan Alley the choice morsel
of gossip concerns a wellknown or
chestra conductor whose mail is
full of "crush" notes. He is as much
favorite among the ladies as any
matinee idol. He makes "big money
and spends it in large way. He
lives in great style at a hotel. The
story goes that he has been married
Tor years and has child almost in
its teens and that he seldom sizes
either his wife or child, having left
orders at the hotel that they are not
to be admitted to his rooms. Not so

New York's subway is city unto
itself. At almost every station there
is a newsstand. At most of them,
confectionery stands. Fastened to
posts are gum and candy-vending ma
chimes. So through the day there are
scores at work who have nothing to
do with the maintenance of the trans
portation systems.
Men collect pennies from the slot
machines and fill the empty slots
while collectors empty coin boxes of
telephones. Others are cleaning up
refuse left by passengers. Others
are posting bills upon the boards
that line the stations. r
Without leaving the subway level
one can buy meal, get shoe-shine

in the easements of large department

the spending of another nickel if the
shopper re-enters the subway.

Used to Long Distances
Operators of Shipping Board boats
announce it has. been computed that
California provides much more than
its share, in proportion to popula-
ton, of foreign travel, even across
the Atlantic.
Naturally. Californians are born
wanderers.
Every Californian either came
long journey to get to California, or
is the near descendant of some one
who did.
Their wandeflust is. the product
of natural selection. And in Cali,
fornia, distances are long. $,
People who, inside the state. think
nothing of travelling the 500 miles
from San Francisco to Los Angeles
to meet dinner engagement or to
"see man." and who, if they
travel outside the state, must cross
the whole great inter- mountain re-,
gion before they come to another
thickly populated district, are not
going to shrink from. Europe, Asia,
Africa, or the islands of the sea.
Nature May Beat Congress
If Congress debates long enough
what to do for the farmers, nature
will have come to their relief before
there is any decision.
The farmer comes out all right, in
+, the long run, regardless of anybody's
help.
The only trouble is the longness
of the "run." And many an ndi-
vidual farmer cannot outlast the
wait.
He is pressed into the growing
army of renters or laborers, and
ceases to be, politically, part of
the farm problem.
So Congress can wait, while it con-
siders whether, in helping this
farmer. it is necessary to cinch any
body else.
Farming, too, just as an abstrac-
tion, can wait. Its problems get
solved, sooner or later.
The only one who cannot wait is
the human, individual, personal
farmer himself. He is, after all,
the one that counts.
But politics does not seem to know

British Hunter Bags
Tiqer With Bod Record

The man-eating tiger Of Kodu, Bur-
ma, said to have killed 100 human be-
ings has been slain, says Cappers
Weekly. The natives called him Tiger
with Mans Brain" because of his cum
ming and boldness.
At first the tiger attacked natives
in the jungle, then came into the vii
lagos even in daylight. The terrorized
villagers. built shelves in their homes
and high platforms, but couldn't escape
that way. Believing the brute led u
charmed life, the people nearest MS
lair finally fled to other settlements.
A British hunter took up the trail.
Finding a half-eaten native, the nunt-
or hid in a tree, as it was the ami
mails habit to return to his vlctlms.
When the tiger came, one shot through
the beast killed him. The BEAST was
ten feet long. The natives look upon
the Britisher as a supernatural being
sent by their gods.

Safety or Disaster
Matter of Speculation

An amusing story is told illustrating
the comforts of sea travel of a genera
zion or so ago. 1t concerns nervous
old lady who booked a passage aboard
a tramp steamer bound from an east
African port to Karachi.
After a few days at sea terrific
storm broke, and the ramshackle
tramp steamer began to reel and
plunge violently. Clutching her way
along the deck, the passenger presently
reached the captains cabin, where
she found that worthy mariner
porting over a dirty piece of parch-
ment.
Are we safer" she gasped.
Madame" replied the skipper, you
see this 'er thing I ave in front of
me. Well, it is chart of the Indian
ocean. On it you will observe there is
q lot of little black dots. Now, madam,
If those dots is dirt we're all right
But if they're rocks, madam, we're
bound for Kingdom Come"
