DRESS SUIT TALK
 NICKNAMED STATE
Missourian Who Had to Be
 "Sh0Yn" Started JOkeSterS

Columbia, Mo, March 21 UP)- Those who use the show me" quo- tation probably never paused to won der how that catch phrase, which has made the state of Missouri ia nous and which has been repeated countless times in many lands, orig mated. So popular has the phrase become that it IS now used as state slogan, a title for the newest humor publication at the Missouri Univers- ity, and is carried in the banner of q state National Guard.
 Colonel Willard D. Eandver, a Nirginian by birth, but AIissourian at heart, is accredited for this bit of often-used original humor Thirty one years ago Colonel Nandiver was a member of a Naval Committee in- specting the naval yard at Philadcl- phia. After the inspection, the naval committee was invited to stay for a banquet being given that evening by the Five O'Clock Club of the city.
 "Now," said Colonel Nandiver, "I had no idea of attending a banquet, so I forgot to bring along my dress suit, and so did Governor Hull Of Iowa, who WAS member Of tho Mil itary Committee. We were the only ones who did not have dress suits, so we planned to go to the banquet without them.
 But when l arrived later I found Hull had rented one, and that l was the nnlV bC m r6f for the occasion. During the toasts, Governor Hull was called upon and he eulogized Philadelphia, even dc claring that the tailors there had made him q dress suit on only I5 minutes notice.
 T was called on next. and didn't know whether to crawl on top Of the table or under it. I finally decided to make my speech the mcancst one possible"
 Colonel Nandiver abused the city roundly and then turned on Hull to repay him for the embarrassment he had caused him, ending his speech with these words: His talk about your hospitality is all bunk; he wants - stHOtilCi Iceu. TIC lcllS NOu tildl tIic tailors, finding that he was without a dress suit. made him one on 15 minutes notice. You heard him say that he came here without one, and you sec him now with one that does : mt fit him. That is the reason you see him with one and me without one. l came from a state that raises / corn, cockleburs, and Democrats; l am from Missouri. You've got 10 show mel
 Colonel Vandiver did not know at that time he had nicked d-named q state and had spoken what was to be 9. world famous slogan.

BOY PAWN IN SUIT
 AFTER CLINIC FIRE
Question Over Percentage Ties Up st @,000 Estate

Akron, O., March al- X chubby little two-year- boy known as Carl Long. Jr., is the center of one of the strangest lawsuits ever heard in the Ohio courts-a lawsuit that dates back to the Cleveland Clinic disaster of last May, when more than 100 persons died in a fire and explo- sion.
 Mir. and Mrs. Carl w Long both pershed in the tragedy. They left an estate valued at approximately s4o0o0. Two knotty legal questions have arisen.
 First: Was little Carl the natural son of the Longs, or was he--as one side asserts-the son of Lorella Rush, 20. of Barberton?
 Second; Did Mir. Long or Mrs, Long die first in the Clinic tragedy?
 If the court decides that Carl is the Longs son. he will inherit most of the estate. Testimony shows Mrs. Long, in February of 1928, laid in stock of baby clothes; and a phy- sician has testified that he helped
  the Barberton girl insists Carl is her child, whom she turned over to Mrs. Long at birth and for whom she received S1oo from Mrs. Long for medical expenses.
 If Carl is ruled not to he the Longs child, the question which died first is important. If Long died first +l- T Long. If she died first, his heirs would inherit it.
 Cleveland police and hospital rec ords have been scanned for evidence. It has been shown that Longs body was received at the county morguc before Mrs. Longs, but the confusion attending the fire at the clinic may keep this evidence from being con- elusive.

Mental Equality Urged
AS Marriage Essential

CHICAGO, Jan. II. Mental
and social inequality of husband
and wife is an invariable cause
Of domestic discord.
This is the conclusion of Mrs.
Byrd Arnold Smith, Evanston,
psychologist at Northwestern Uni
verSity'S medical clinic. She has
made a study of so homes Of
varying strata.
When a woman marries a man
who is not her mental or social
equal her tendency is to become
slovenly. her husbands to become
dissatisfied, and her children's to
fail to adjust themselves to school
and later to adult life," she said.
The Washington times., 1930-01-17

"The city Of Washington was
in q rather disgraceful condition
up to q year ago, or up to this
last spring." he said.
Mosquitoes were everywhere
IN Washington, in the White
House, the Treasury Department,
the State, War and Navy and
other buildings, and nearly every
body was bothered with them.
One or two Of our people. investi.
gated 1t and they found that the
breeding places were in some of
the public buildings and in the
catch basins along our streets. I
think that trouble has been elm

have two victories under their wing
and one defeat at the hands OF
