A New York corporation is to exploit
the airplane with a loud speaker of
enormous carrying power, to fly over
cities and Shrek messages to the in
habitantS. Great chance for adver-
tising. Send a flyer over Jerusalem
righ away with a ballyhoo for picked
pigs feet. You CAN turn the
radio off, but the only way to silence
tie racket about Stumbleoff's Special
arch support pingpong shoes is to
place an anti-aircraft gun on the roof.
It'll be a great comfort in the
middle of the night to hear "All's
well with those whose breakfast will
be DR.. Jorgenson'S Alfalfa"
It'll soon be SO that a man won't be
able to sneak in at some wee small
hour at all. Well, he can always stay
with some stricken friend.
When the next congress assemblies
something ought to be done about the

Most of them had come from con-

he had to send men home

"If we were to have a free election
today, Moncada could not help but

the marines are more likely to keep

WASHINGTON presidency Of
Nicaragua, which has caused the
American government so much con-
Germ and expense in the last year, may
next be voted to none other than Cen
eral Jose M. Moncada, who threw up
the sponge as commander of the lib
eral army when he was threatened
with the power of the United States
marines.
The Moncadistas say that Moncada
is the most popular man in Nicaragua
today, and what is more important,
that his election would have the con-
sent if not the blessing of the Ameri-
can department of state.
MOncada A Hero
Word of Moncada's popularity is en-
phasized by Evarista Caraso-MoraleS,

his recent return to Nicaragua upon
the death of his mother, CaraSo-Mo-
rales was asked to represent Moncada
in this country.
"NIoncada became national hero
when he crossed the country from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, bringing his
army through the jungle" explained
Morales, who has just returned to a
Washington university to complete

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE
POCKETS

If you believe lad of ten
Has got a reasoning mind,
Turn out his pockets now and then
And probably you'll find
A dozen shingle nails, top,
A roll of frazzled string
A somewhat humid lemon drop,
A battered napkin ring,
An angle worm, extremely dead
Some bits of broken rock.
A knife, a spool of dirty thread
And fragments of clock.
If you believe in woman's chance
To rival men in brains,
Just through her handbag cast a
glance;
1t probably contains:
A letter, six or eight weeks old,
A postage stamp or two, HsE
Some scraps of dress goods, tightly
rolled,
Of many modiSh hue,
A makeup box, novelette,,
A bill for last weeks gas,
A tiny manicuing set,
Six buttons, and glass.
To prove that man is wise and bright
And keen in intellect
Just turn his pockets out some night
And shortly you'll collect:
A fountain pen, completely dry,
A knife that will not cut
A recipe for Scotch and Rye,
A book called "How to Putt"
Four keys to locks long gone to rust,
Five crumpled dollar bills
A handkerchief, extremely mussed
And seven pepsin pills!

business men. This does not
mean that YOU should have
whole or half or even quarter
page ad. in each issue OF the
