WASHINGTON. - The capital city
is all of a-twitter over rumors that
Senator j. Boomboom McWhorter has
contracted a case of presidential ra-
bieS.
The local union of the Political
Wiseacres Union, at its bi-weekly
meeting, voted almost unanimously
that there we're grounds for such a
rumor and the rumor was promul-
gated with union label.
Hardly any other construction, it is
generally agreed, can be placed upon
Senator McWhorter'S ringing declar-
alton of war against calfS-foot jelly.
Senator McWhorter came out flat
footedly He denounced calf's-foot
jelly in such scathing terms that he
stamped himself as one of the most
advanced drys in public life
When the nation first heard of
Senator McWhotrer's opposition to
calf's-foot jelly, the question was at
once asked why Senator McWhorter
didn't direct his ammunition against
picked pigs feet Many substantial
persons expressed the opinion that
picked pigs feet should be abolished
first and that calf's-foot jelly could
wait. Senator McWhorter, however,
soon enlightened them in the follow
ing public statement:

LETTER SKI
By RODNEY DUTCHER, NEA Service writer.

After copious research and consul
tation with the best authorities,
believe that it is now fitting to de-
clare myself upon one of the gravest
issues that confronts our times
What is it that wiggles today like
great octopus Turing our children to
their destruction? What insidious in
stitution guides them out upon the
primrose path which leads first TO
the speak easy, then to the gutter
and then to the grave?
What wolf in sleeps clothing leers
at them under the guise of harmless
delicacy and beckons them toward
the debauch of Backus?
"You will be astounded, my good
people, when I tell you that I refer
to none other than calfs-foot jelly
the great menace which now con-
fronts not only our youth, but many
Of our silly grownups, who believe
that they can play with fire. and still
not be singed or worse.
81 take this opportunity to make
solemn vow, by every principle which
hold dear, to let not the grass
grow under my feet until this smelly
jelly is all shipped back to Moscow
where it belongs"
Observers here agree that candi-
date must go far to prove himself
drier than Senator McWhorter.

More Truth Than Poetry
HOME LIFE I'M THE FUTuRE
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE


We don't need to go to the plays
any more,
We don't need to go to the park
TO hear the brass band play the
"Bam Bammy Shore"
While the crowd sits around in the
dark
We're as free from temptation to
jazz round at night
AS were Brutus and Cassius in Rome
We even can take in a heavyweight
fight
And never stir out OF the home.
We can learn all the popular ditties
by heart,
We can see all the popular shows,
We can sample the best of the Vau-
deville's art
While de lounge in domestic repose
And if ever the need of improving
the mind
Should rouse us to efforts some day
Abundance of uplift we know we may
find
In the things that the lecturers say
We need only to look at the living
room screen,
Or to switch on the radio set,
And then on luxurious divans to
lean
All the latest amusements to get.
No need to go forth mid the chill
tempest'S roar
In search of the thrills that we
crave
And the children can dance on the
sun parlor floor
When they can't make their ankles
behave.
We can get entertainment and also
our rest
AS we sit by the bright swapping
fire
That is ever aglow in the little home
nest,
From the waves which come in on
the wire.
Yet the hearth has for long been
deserted and cold
With the ashes unwarmed by a
flame,
For all Of the family, young ones
and old,
Are out every night, just the same.

"LITTLE BROWN JUG"
IS NOT MAIN STAKE
BY the Associated Press.


ANN ARBOR, Mich, November 16.
Minnesota bruising foot ball team,
led by Capt. Herb Joesting, All-Ameri'
can fullback, renews an ancient grid
iron enmity with Michigan here Sat
urday.
Down through the years the Michi-
an-Minnesota struggle has been con-
sidered one of the most interesting
srudge fights of the gridiron.
There is the traditional Little
Brown Jug" which is neither little
nor brown, at stake. but, more i'm
portant this year. the game may mean
lot to the Gophers' Western Confer
ence standing.
Minnesota was tied by Indiana, but
It's Big Ten escutcheon is not marred
by a defeat. Michigan has one loss
marked up against 1t, Illinois turning
the trick, 40.
The Little Brown jug is an ordi.
nary sarthen water receptacle Of more
or less heroic proportions, and 1t has
been presented to the winner Of the
Michigan-Minnesota game with con-
siderable pomp since 1908.
The relentless Joesting will carry
much of Minnesota's hope to defeat
Michigan, and the game should be a
battle of stars. The cagy Bennie
Oosterbaan and Louis Gilbert, with
their great passing combination. have
clawed defeat out of the air several
times this season for Michigan, and
the Illinois defeat came with Gilbert
impotent from injuries on the side
lines.

men. Harold Shorty Almquist, quar-
terback, and Harold Hanson. guard,

Eastern today is tied with Tech at
three wins and one loss for first place
in the public high school foot ball
championship race. and Central is In
second place with two victories
against one defeat.
A smashing $50 triumph over Cen.
trail yesterday for Eastern brought
about the shake.up in the title battle.
1t was Eastern's last series game.
Central has only Western to play and
must trim the Georgetown schoolboys
to tie Eastern and Tech for the lead.
Eastern's victory over Central WAS
an upset. the big score being especially
surprising. The Lincoln Park com.
bination had shown sturdily in recent
performances: but Mike kelieys
proteges had recently swept aside
Tech. regarded then as their chief
obstacle i'm the path to the title, and
the Blue and White was favored IN
most quarters to take the measure
of Eastern though it was conceded
that the latter was no puShover for
any high school team,
However, Guyon's stalwarts OUT
played Central virtually all the way.
With Charlie Millar and Capt. Possum
Holland gaining consistently and Jim
Munro and Tom Nally playing in
stellar style on the line, the Lincoln
Parkers, ably directed by Reeves at
quarterback, carried the fight to their
Columbia Heights opponents from the
outset.
Central, with George Mehler, sturdy
guard, forced 10 the hospital as the
result of being struck on the head
during a mix up on the first play. and
Everett Cross, back, out with an
injury. held the hard-hitting Eastern
erns off during the early moments.
But as the first period progressed
Eastern was opening great holes in
the Blue and White line, and as the
quarter ended Guyon's boys had
crashed their way to Central's 4-yard
line.
On the first play of the second
period Capt. Holland picked up
Monro's bad pass and dashed around
end for the first touchdown. Eastern
threatened again shortly afterward
when Miles recovered Boyd's tumble
on Central's 4.yard line, but kelley's
charges made a gallant stand and held
on the 2-foot mark.
Eastern was not TO be denied. how
ever. and after Simmons short punt
from behind his goal and u 1S-yard
emu sweep Dy f1Oliduu, MHidT went
over fer the second tally. Central
here rallied its attack momentarily
and gained some dozen yards on a
mixed offensive. The drive was
ended abruptly, however, when Millar
intercepted a forward pass and scored
on a dazzling 6S.yard run.
In the third period Central rallied
desperately and gained considerable
yardage by the overhead route. but
the Eastern goal was not menaced.
Munro counted the final touchdown
in the fourth quarter when he inter
cepted an alien pass and ran 20
yards.
