The funniest scandal of all has

He hasn't said Il word about 1t. hut
the new tires on his car were so
conspicuous next day that somebody
noticed it and he shOpped around
until he got some old tires that
wouldn't attract attention and call
for explanations.
"Stop." exclaimed the Bank
Clerk. Il merely asked for morsel
of scandal and YOU have served Inc
a barrel full; if half what you tell
me il true. our town is morally sick

Elizabeth City carries 10 men on

move rubbish and garbage. Twelve
men could do mere work at less eX-

the reputation of being one OF the

This is only part of the equip

administrations Nicaraugan war.

iu- the Warren lead. subsequently
offered IN amendment to give the
iebauchcd woman an extra SlH.
with the apologies of the United
States government.
Here are Warren remarks when
he reserved the right to object to
passage of the bill:
Il call the attention of the House
To the fact that this is bill grow
Ing out of President Cnolid.e'S and
Secretary KelIOgG'S war with Mica
raura. II seems that two drunken
Marines. sent down there on the
present expedition of occupation.
hrutally assaulted II pregnant Near
augan woman. her husband and her
child. 81 that they all had to have
medical attention. OF course. ii i
obvious that if the marines had not
been down there. this outrage would
not have occurred.
Il think | ought to congratulate
the Secretary of the Navy for the
splendid and hard bargain he has
driven i'm this case. He has sent il
bill up here approving the eXpendi-
ture of So 30 to pay for the medical
attention of these three people and
Sc. for damages to the torn dress of
the woman. In other words, We
are mendin" you up in the hospital,

"AlSo. there is Il bit of irony in the
report which thing ought to
