WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Joseph 7. Robinson Of Arkansas, AL
Smiths running mate, isn't one of
those super-methodical individuals

Any watch that was regulated ac-
cording to Joe Robinson's schedule
would be a very unreliable timepiece,
because his schedule varies like
everything.
Some nights he turns in much
later than he does other nights. That
invariably makes him later than
usual getting up the next morning
and correspondingly late for break
fast. He catches his other meals
whenever the opportunity offers-his
luncheon some time in the course Of
the afternoon-dinner whenever it's
ready, and he is. Then that night.

Hat Makers Are
To Play Aztecas
Here on Sunday

Strengthened by five new players
OF merit. the Palmer Hat Makers nine
will play the San Benito Aztecas
here at $3.50 p. m. Sunday on the
Victoria Heights school diamond.
A good game is foreseen as both
teams are on an edge following lop-
sided wins last Sunday. The Hat
Makers soundly trounced the Bear
cats Of Harrington here while the Az
tecas piled up n large score against
tho Weslaco Slugger nine at San
Benito. Sunday before last the Az
tecas took the Browns lie Tigers in
camp with q ninth inning rally that
Melted six runs.
The Palmer boys will no doubt
make a strenuous effort as they are
tentatively slated to play the Tigers
the coming Sunday. "A defeat would
deter from the box office pulling
power of a Tiger-Hat Maker clash
and they may be relied upon to pre-
vent this IL possible.
The new players, some Of whom are
former Tigers, are Johnny Champion,
Joe King, Tomas Torres and two 9TH

Quill Pens

Many young men and women
who think they can write and who
would like to write, put off real
work because they dislike the
manual toll that writing demands.
Even the most modern and smooth
running typewriter becomes a
wearisome machine. Pushing a
pencil or a pen is even more tire
some. Few can dictate as well as
they can write, even if they can
afford the luxury of a secretary.
What is needed, in the face of such
trifling discouragements, is more
downright energy and less laziness.
Remember that Charles Dickens
once wrote whole book with a
single quill pen. But Dickens did
not suffer from the commonest
complaint of the young person

JeDish Funerals Simple

No flowers are used at Jewish
funerals because the Jewish law
requires that a funeral be as sim
pie and democratic as possible.
Jews use plain pine boxes and
plain linen shrouds. They have no
music and no flowers. There must
be no distinction between the rich
man and poor man.
