Scores Intelligence of
A Lot of People

Editor, Times:
I did not have the pleasure
of reading Ann Tenna's con-
tribution to your paper, but 1
did read Versus so-called reply
to it. What I read in Versus
letter was enough to convince
me that Ann Tenna is a per
son of extraordinary intel
ligence and good sense.
While I have no inclination
to listen to such a crooked and
corrupt exhibition as horse
race, anything at all that
would serve to eliminate Amos
and Andy from the radio pro-
gram would be a blessing. AS
Ann Tenna so aptly stated, the
nightly broadcast of those two
buffoons is absolute drivel.
More than that it is the most
senseless drivel on the air, with
the exception of the late Uncle
Abe and David, whose idiocies
defied description without the
use of profanity.
AS Versus says, it is a fact
that many people do listen to
Amos and Andy, but it is a sad
fact, and does not speak we'll
for the intelligence of the
American people that they can
be amused by two such
bunglers.
It is gratifying to note, how
ever, that time has brought
about an appreciable decline in
the numbers who listen to
Amos and Andy. Those who
still gather around the radio
at 6 p. M, can be classified as
either illiterate fanatics with
a preposterous obsession for
such balderdash, or people who
are definitely below normal
intelligence. The time will
come when Amos and Andy
will cease to be a novelty, and
will fall in the general category
of such has-beens as cross word

nately, for every sincere searcher
there are 10000 takers. And
these takers Immediately per-
ceived that here was the grand"
est opportunity for graft in
human history.
The Big Chance
All about them were mobS Of
humans, just bursting to talk
about themselves. They had
exhausted the patience of their
families and friends. Nobody
cared to hear about their symp-
toms. Nobody believed their
alibis. But here at last was a
chance to cash in on human
vanity by putting these Symp-
toms and alibis on a Scien-
tific basis. Thanks to Messrs.
Freud, Adler and Jung, laziness
could now be called an "inhibl-
ton. .cowardice uld be
classified as a pain barrier" -.
and millions of spineless citi-
zens would gladly pay you S. a
throw for doing so. Whoopee-
il was better than a gold
strike! Immediately all our
classier streets became lined
with psychiatric hide-aways
where, for a consideration,
Fretty Flossie and Fluttering
Fred could talk and talk about
themselves until the COWS came
home. Or the cash gave out.
The Inside Dope
Little or no training is needed
to qualify as a Mental Medicine
Man. A smattering knowledge
of psychiatric methods. an easy
familiarity with psychological
terms, a deep, dark look and
sympathetic manner-and the
trick is done.
And what good do such con-
fessions do? In the case of sim
cere scientists, they sometimes
do great good. For having un-
covered the root of the trouble,
the real psychiatrist permits no
further dallying. 1t is then up
to the patient to. get busy and
show results. But dallying is
exactly what the fake analyst is
after and the best thing the
average neurotic likes! So on
goes the game-with Flossie and
Freddie digging up new symp-
toms, and getting a big bang
therefrom-and ye analyst lis
tening and urging them on.
A grand racket. Wish I'd
taken il up instead of journal
ism.

Mothers Seek Aid
In Rat Menace
By T. E. Powers

Editor, Times:
After reading how a rat bit
a baby here in the city. many
of us mothers are continually
upset and worried, for it is
true that the whole section in
the vicinity of the market is
overrun with rats. Several moth
ers have talked it over, and I
was appointed to write The
Times as to our opinions.
We heartily indorse poisoning
the rats, and if the Govern
ment will give us. or sell us
some of this poison, know a
great many people will gladly
use it. We are living within
10 blocks of the old market
site, yet, lately, the places here
are overrun with rats.
They eat our soap, food,
sometimes our clothes. I speak
from experience.
AS many mothers are worried
about this sudden rat invasion,
please print this letter and we
will be hoping for speedy results
to rid the city of these horried
little germ-ridden pests.
Every night, three of us are
afraid to go to sleep, but lie
awake trying to keep watch
over our babies as they sleep,
until we are just worn out.
In the name of our children.
upon whom the country's fu-
ture hangs, we ask help to
save them from the rats!

ONCE-OVERS
On That Handshake

On IhaC HandShaKe
1t is we'll to show that you
are pleased and to be courteous
when you are introduced to a
person.
It is not so good to be over
enthusiastic or servile in ef-
feet.
To be unduly pleased when
presented to an individual is a
sort of intimation that you feel
something is to be gained by
the contact.
Those who have money nat
urally think you want pecu-
mary aid or something like that
and the impression that you
have created for yourself is not
to your advantage.
Every person with a spark
of genuine human nature is
more or less gratified to meet
another who presents a posi-
bility Of common interests.
But a too effusive manner
and vise-like hand grip is
going to meet a suddenly cold
and hardened exterior by way
of recognition.
Those who have no personal
gain in mind usually acknowl-
edge an introduction with de-
corum.
They don't give strangers the
idea that they are accepted on
an equal basis until they know
more about them.
If you believe that an undue
display of affability, good spir-
its and desire for that partic-
ular companionship are win
ming, you have an erroneous
idea and your actions SAVIOR of
artificiality.
