By the PINE PHILOSOPHER

Remember the licking we got for
galloping the horse. Now the kid
comes in and says, dad l want a new
Ford. Mine will only do fifty-six and
Bill can get sixty-three out of his,
easy" You come to with a start and

One offense o. o. Mcintyre hasn't
committed. He hasn't 'columned'
Lindy yet as the Minnesota boy who
made good in New York.
Sometimes think there is too much
LAW and not enough Justice but
there are exceptions when the mills
of the Gods grind according to the
times. For instance, the other day,
one of the state patrolmen was pur-
suing a drunken driver. The drunk
was in such a hurry to get away that
he ran into another car. When the
cop drew up he found the drunk he
was pursuing had run into another
drunk. Result. Two stiff fines to pay,
two lessons learned and me-thinks
the Goddess of Justice must have set
the scales down, peeked under the
blind fold and then smiled to think
the way she could still handle the
sword.
Here is one thing us country folks
had to be thankful for that we per-

THE SUNNY SIDE
All American.
BY LARRY HO, Jr.
Human Laughter is the Lullaby of This Weary World.

At this time of the year, football
experts and those interested in the
greatest of college sports are argu-
ing the merits of certain groups of
eleven players whom they believe de-
serve places on the mythical ALL
American team. This team supposed
ly represents the best traditions of
the field as evidenced by accomplish
ments on the gridiron.
In common with these experts, we
have chosen a group we believe de-
serving Of All-American recognition
our choices being:
LE-The man who did his Christmas
shopping early this year.
LT-One of several rare personali-
ties who hold on to their position
in life through bumps and bruises
and onslaughts, never complaining
to the referee to ease the plays
over him.
LG-The man who never cussed the
government for doing or not doing
this, that or the other thing. Of
any.
CIThe man who is not jealous of
his neighbours success but willing
ly continues to cooperate in fur
Their achievements for the general
good.
RG-The politician who didn't claim
the country would go to ruin un-
less he was elected.
RT-The automobile driver who new
er hurries when he is going no.
where in particular.
RE-The absent-minded neighbor who
goes beyond his own property line
onto your lot when cutting the
grass, or helps you with his snow
shovel when your sidewalk is piled
high.
QB-An officer of the law who is
kindly courteous and considerate
of the public 365 days of the year
LH-The poet who loves his fellow
men so well he never publishes his
verses.
RH-The bootlegger who accepts
o. us.
FB-A red-blooded American wht
never selected an All-Americar
| team.
Head COach-A back seat driver wht
suffers.
Assistants-Yourb bridge partner, ant
a deaf and dumb barber.
Our advisers may have overlooked
a few worthy of All-American men
ton, such as the man who claims hi
wife understands him or the fellow
who reports he always gets his tele
phone number with the first attempt
yet, we believe, this is representative
authentic, and challenges all othe
lAll-American teams of the season.

When the Snow Comes.


It's a sad time when the snow comes,
And the skies put on their first gray
frowns
AS silently. like vagrant thoughts,
the great flakes fall.
Roofs are whitewashed with tiny
crystals,
Streets are shiny wet,
Arc-lights show the flakes as falling
diaphonous lace
A great veil spread down from the
stars.
The snow beats a faint tattoo on the
dry leaves.
A flute obligato to the coming SYM
phony of winter.
The impatient horns await their score
To shock us when they roar and blow
their passion of torrent and sound,
And the farthest rafters will re-echo
the theme;
Winter! Cold! Frost! Loneliness!
Winter!"
The first SHOWS augur of greater gusts
to come,
And whisper of many fireside nights
When memory, like a cat, will purr
and curl her back before the logs,
As the old battalion of friends mar
shall against the coming frosts-
There will be our favorite pipe; an
unfinished book; the undreamed
dreams
To welcome us
When Winter comes.

Carter Won't Allow Apprentices to
Prepare for Professions After
Working Hours.

Beginning next Fall, printer APP
prentices at the Government Printing
ONCE will not be permitted to study
any of the professions after working
hours, it was announced today at the
Office of George Carter, public printer.
1--WE feel here that study of subjects
mot definitely related to their appren-
ticeship interferes with their work in
this Office" Mr.. Carter told The Star.
THE Government is paying money to
teach them to be printers. and nothing
else, and We feel that when they put
their time on other subjects the Gov
eminent money for their apprentice
ship is not being wisely spent. So be-
ginning next year they will not be al
lowed to study any of the other pro-
fessions, as some of them are doing
now"
Mr.. Carter said that his verbal order
concerning the professional study by
young printers does not conflict with
his former order urging night school
study. That study, he explained, is to
broaden education of the young en-
ployeS and still Is encouraged.

PRESIDENT LEADS
ARM|ST|CE RITES
Tributes to World War Dead
Paid at Capitol, Arlington
and in Many Functions.

President Hoover joined in the ARMS
tice day pilgrimage to Arlington Ma
tional Cemetery early today and in the
name of l20,000,00O American citizens
placed a wreath on the tomb Of the
Unknown Soldier of the World War.
The Presidents simple tribute, SYM
bolic of the reverence which nation
holds for those who gave 1t their lives,
was but one Of many such acts of de-
votion paid by representative citizens
today as the National Capital led in the
twelfth annual observance of the
agreement that silenced the guns in
France.
Accompanied by Mrs. Hoover, Secre-
tary of War Patrick j. Hurley, Secre-
tary Of the Navy Charles Francis Adams
and Gen. Charles P. Summerall, chief
of staff of the Army with their aides,
the presidential party motored to
Arlington shortly before 10 o'clock. The
President was attended by his naval
aide, Capt. Russell Train and his mill
tary aid, Lieut.. Col. Campbell Hodges.
Mrs. Hoover Places Bouquet.
Arriving at the kn1pitheater, the
members OF the Presidents party paused
as the Army Band played THE Star
Spangled Banner" The Army, Navy
and Marine guard at the tomb stood at
attention as the President stepped for
ward and placed at its base a huge
wreath of yellow chrysanthemums. As
he stepped back Mrs. Hoover placed on
the tomb a smaller bouquet of three
chrysanthemums.
Mrs. Calvin Coolidge during her days
in the White House inaugurated this
custom, which Mrs. Hoover has con-
tinued. The former mistress of the
White House placed single white rose
on the tomb, but last year, as this
Armistice day, Mrs. Hoover brought
with her to the cemetery a small bou-
quet Of flowers.
The ceremony at the cemetery &C.
cupied about three minutes and the
presidential party Immediately drove
back to the White House in time for the
President to deliver his Armistice day
address before the World Alliance in the
Washington Auditorium.
After Mr. Hoover's visit to Arlington,
the chaplains who participated in the
religious exercises at the interment of
the Unknown Soldier paid their an
nual tribute at the Tomb.
