Material and Immaterial
A prominent society woman of New
York recently returned from Europe
with leopard skin coat and carrying
a young leopard to match the coat
We sincerely hope that this fad viii
not become general as it would be
rather inconvenient for one having
a calf skin coat TO be carrying around
a live calf to match Ditto a skunk
coat.
A candy manufacturer in writing TO
the Cornstalk Products Company re-
garding the making of paper from
cornStalks said that in his line Of bus
mess he was paying out more Tor pa
per than for sugar, peanuts, syrup or
any other material except chocolate
coating Much of the candy sold now
days is in the form of sc and 10c bars
and it has been the familiar impress
sion among candy eaters that alto
gether too much attention has been
paid to the wrapper, in fact In many
cases, all there was TO the bar was a
highly colored wrapper, high sound
ing name and an infinitismal amount
of CONNECTION hid among the abund-
ance of wrapper.
That Capone boy after getting out
of Chicago ran into a hornets nest
when he went to Philadelphia. The
police there picked him up and the
judge gave him year in prison for
carrying concealed weapons. In Chi
cago he could have used the weapon
on some rival and he would have been
hailed as a hero. While "Philly" is
considered too slow by many there is
a growing suspicion that Chicago is
altogether too fast.
In screaming headlines we learn
that President Hoover has a black eye.
Nothing new in this. All red-blooded
he-men have such an adornment in
the several stages Of life. The causes
vary. Hoover got his while fishing
while with the most of us it would be
something else again The results are
the same. The eye is black
The Boston Transcript says that
REV. Harry Wilson of this city left
today for Chicago. The Baptist church
of which he is pastor will hold prayer
services tonight" Will he need it?
Those who are compelled to keep
their nose on the grindstone in order
to make both ends meet will probably
be highly elated over the long hours
put in by the United States Supreme
Court. We notice by the papers that
a week ago the court did not sit at all
and on Monday of last week it filed
into the court room at noon and out
again at two o'clock after announcing
that the next sitting would be the fol-
lowing Monday at noon. Notwithstand-
ing, the court is there ready for bust
ness and we presume that there was
none, which, of course, speaks well for
the lower courts Of the country.
New York bricklayers are to receive
a raise of nearly four million dol
lars. They need it and this raise will
enable them to keep up with the two
cars for family idea and also with
the Jones family.
My husband is awarded thirty-sev-
en- cents" said the will of an eastern
lady of means. How she arrived at
the exact figures the will failed to
state.
It is to be hoped tnat the Hoban
and Smith cases will be pushed until
it is ascertained without shadow Of
a doubt who the higher-ups are that
were interested in the extortion
charges TO which Hoban pleaded guilty
and to the narcotics mess to which
Smith plead guilty in q. S. court Mon
day. q. S. Attorney Drill is showing
the proper spirit when he says he will
get at the bottom Of the case and both
Smith and Hoban. whose sentences
were deferred until later in the sum-
mer, aver that they will do all in
their power to get" those who en-
gineered the deals and who afterwards
left these two worthless to their fate.
The moral is plain. When you monkey
with mud, you are bound to get dirty.
Under the head Of unnecessary &C.
equations comes the job of pushing a
peanut UP Pixies Peak with your nose.
The flagpole sitter, the marathon
doncer, the saurkraut eater and the
coffee drinking champions should look
well to their laureis lest they be dis
