HOOVER WILL BROWN ON K. K. K.

It is whispered about Washington that ac- quesence in the Hoover plan to have a simple inauguration without parade or ball was ac- celerated by the discovery of an itching on the part of the K. K. K. to get into the parade in large numbers. If there is anything that President-elect Hoover does not want it is for the people to associate him and his administra- tion in any way with that organization, 1t is contended. MT Hoover's friends say that his contempt for the K. K. K. is fixed and deep seated. They say it was increased by the ef- frontery of prominent member of the order, one of the owners of it's Fellowship Forum, when he joined in Virginia the Hoover invasion of the Solid South. It is said that MT. Hoover expects to make it clear that he holds nothing against the Catholic Church and will have at least one member of the Church in his Cabinet.
 At least, the K. K K, it is said, will find no welcome at the White House during the Hoover incumbeney.
 Thus writes the Washington representative of well known news syndicate.

Crying Need of the Nation.
(New I ork Times ]

What this country needs, according to Fred Nibo, is a good cry. In his experience movie director. he has found that after tragic scene calling for tears, the actors enjoy beneficial relaxation and the general tone of their work improves. He therefore recommends widespread application of ''the philosophy of tears.'
 It has long been accepted theory that it is all wrong for great deal of nervous energy to be stored up and then allowed legitimate outlet. There is the oft-cted case of theatre- goers who worked up to noble resolves by fine play. but who do finer deed on leaving the playhouse than to order taxi to take them home. Those unrepressed persons who weep profusely at the heroine's misfortunes are en- toying at least partial release of their pent-up emotions.
 Since there is official "wailing wall" for Americans, there is small chance of the nation weeping whole But let each man weep when he feels it will do him most good. If the telephone operator offers four wrong numbers in succession if the last train out is missed by la hairbreadth, if the. engine dies in the middle lof Fifth Avenue, the thing to do is just to have good cry
 Perhaps much of the bitterness and invective lof the recent political campaign was simply another form of the "catharsis" of tears But now that November is safely past neigh bors who nearly came to blows in the heat of partisan zeal settling down to a peaceful happy Winter of bridge playing.

 If father agrees with mother that daughter is foolish to marry for love when she can get a rich man it's probably because he hates to think of any other poor sucker spending his life listening to the growing about lack of mon ey the way he has.
