We approve much of the man who said that
he was eagerly awaiting the day when all saxa-
phone players should become finished players.

Maybe the Bud Stillman-Lena Wilson mar

So frequent are masculine permanents and
marcels becoming that many women are serious
ly thinking of wearing their hair perfectly
straight. Waves have really become so very
mannish, m'dear!
This is the time Of year when many jams
are made. The easiest and quickest of all is the
traffic jam. Stand on the corner of Washing

Vernon Ewing, north woods apostle of silent
prayer, waited in St. Paul sand pit Monday
for some manifestation of divine power After
ten minutes of silent waiting Mr.. Ewing packed
up his paraphernalia and dismissed his audience
nothing of startling nature having occurred to
prove that God was aware of the fact that the
north woods apostle was awaiting a demonstra-
ton. Meanwhile, had Mr.. Ewing chosen to look
about him, he could have seen in the sand at his
feet the basis material from which automobile
windshields are wrought; in the trees that bord-
cred his meeting" ground he could have observ-
ed the wood pulp on which modern day newspa-
pers are printed and the lumber with which
beautiful homes are erected Looking upward
his eyes would have caught the rays of a fiery
planet that radiates its heat and light to every
corner of the universe and transforms barren
soil into waving grain fields and nutritious veg
citation. But he wanted something more than
this, in proof of invisible divinity; something
more than the infinite wonders of nature, Gods
own unfathomable handwork. Just what, one
wonders, would be proof enough to satisfy an in
dvidual like this Hastings Gazette

Edward Howe of The Atchison Globe wrote |
about Main Street before Sinclair Lewis was
born. He called his book "The Story of !,
Country Town." In it he beat the present-day
school of backyard fictionists to their favorite |
motif by margin of forty years, wrote Jay E. /
House in The New York Times Of that book he
'nce said to friend: 'There is tired man and |
4 suffering kerosene lamp in every line of it. !
wrote it at night and far into the night, after
| hard and harassing day downtown" The auth
n sent the manuscript Of "The Story of a Coun |
ry Town." to two of the leading publishers of |
hat day. Both publishers returned it without
hanks. Then he had it "set up" and he printed !
page at time on a job press in the office of |
he Globe. Gathered together, fixed between
msy paper covers, the pages were delivered to |
nonchalant world In time copy Of the book |
reached the desk of William Dean Howells, then
he most significant figure in American letters. |
Mr.. Howells wrote a kindly apprecative notice
If it. Mark Twain read the book and enthusiast
ically added his praise to that sounded by How.
Ills. George w. Cable and Charles Dudley War
Ter contributed to the tumult and the shouting. |
Forthwith 'The Story Of Country Town" ac-
luired vogue that lasted for years. And the |
book still sells.

year ago, Gertrude Ederle arrived
at Cape Griz Nez, France, began to eat
many an egg, many a steak. Later, as
everyone knows she swan the English
channel while the band on her tug boat
played Barney Google" etc.
New York city's welcome in her
honor was runner-up to the recent Lind
bergh carnival But the vaudeville and
cinema contracts in her honor were not
as fat as admirers expected. Her law
yer, Dudley Field Malone of Manhat-
tan, finally allowed her to accept a con-
tract which required that she perform
