NUTMEG JOkES
IN NITNLGlA

We Nutmeggers are supposed %
dislike Jokes about Connecticut nut
megs. 1t IS news to US. hut We have
it upon the authority Of the New
York World. which says hat seven
years ago tho-e was a protest
against Connecticut nutmeg jokes in
the moyt"s-said protest having been
registered in Now Hareu-and since
that time the movie mosuls have
been careful TO avoid anything in
their product TO rifle our disposition
about nu'megs.
Instead Of feeling this way about
it. we rise 10 protest against tho
elimination Of nutmeg Jokes in the
movies the talEics, Or the legitimate
stage. Rather than being something
to grow angry about. We regard this
as good advertising. The native Of
Arizona, seeing a movie or a taIhje,
and noting a reference or joke 70
Connecticut nutnIogs. is not likely
TO take the Joke seriously, and al
least is impressed with he TACT that
Connecticut. where the wooden nut
mess came from. is st1l on the map.
For further evidence he can find il
when he handles his trusty Colt
and by the way this doesn't refer to
a young horse. but 10 his steadIas'
companion attached 10 his belt.
The idea that Connecticut is or
posed to nutmces jokes IS one Of the
follies Of New York lily. as eX-
empIified in the World statement. If
nitwits in New Haven once protest
ed against nutmeg jokes they did il
minus the conniyance Of the re-
mainder Of the state. The true Nut

scription upon learning that some

protest: and We would have paid M

3 ON SLEDS KILLED
Two Brothers at Peru Are
Among Victims.
By United Press

Three children we're killed, and
three injured in Indiana Wednes-
day night, due to automobile-sled
accidents.
Edward and John Bauer, brothers,
were killed at Peru when two sleds
on which they we're coasting crashed
into an automobile driven by Frank
Vance, a salesman. Edward was
killed instantly and John died after
being taken to a hospital. The
boys heads we're crushed. Vance
was not arrested.
At South Bend, Willard Beck, II,
was killed and his sisters, Mildred,
6, and Margaret, 10, we're injured
seriously when their sled struck the
front of a street car.
Rudy Erts, motorman, said he ap-
piled brakes as soon as he saw the
children, but was unable to stop his
car until one of the Sleds had struck
its side and the other run under it.
More than ten persons have been
killed in sled accidents in Indiana
since December.

WASHINGTON, Feb. ID. - The

financially, because of the deSertion
of old members and inability to at
tract new recruits to its unhooded
program, it was learned today, with
the result that Imperial Wizard
Hiram M. Evans has ordered sharp
curtailment of field and clerical
forces in both state and nation.
The counter attack launched in
the south an its campaign against
Ex-Governor Smith during the presi-
Dental campaign has had it's effect.
Prominent men denounced the khan
up and down many southern and
middle western states.
Last year the supreme court of the
United States held constitutional
the New York law requiring the khan
to file it's roster with the secretary
of state.
Scandals within the organization
itself, including the sentence to
prison for life of D. G. Stephenson
of Indiana, shocked many members
who had joined because of its
highly-touted patriotic program.
General belief that prohibition
will be more effectively enforced
under Herbert Hoover also has
robbed the khan Of one of its chief
selling points.

Henry Leach and Frederick
Chapman, trappers, brought the
animal here after it was killed
by their large collie dog after a

The zoology department OF the

identify the animal, but inclineS
to a belief that it is a pika, al
though that species is not believed
existent except in mountains of

The animal has short legs It's

tusks in the mouth which we're
used with telling effect in the

Black said if two amendments he

The first proposed that emergency

of which we're encruSted with
green corrosion. formed the heart
of a natural radio set. An cleo
trical conduit which carried the
lighting wires for the house hung
loosely and touched one OF the
corroded pipes. On lifting thu
conduit. the ghost music stopped.
Himoe explains that the conduit
acted as the antenna, the water
pipes as the ground wire and the
corrosion on the pipe as crystal
rectifier.
The water served as a condenser
and the dining room floor, actuat-
ed by the vibrations in the pipe,
