New York. April 4-(UP)-Fel- lows who run columns sometimes have lazy spells. You never can tell when one of these lazy spells is going to arrive for, they have a way of sneaking up on guy very tip-toe like. Some columnists have that tired feeling about once a month; others get run down often as once a week. But once week or once a month the remedy is all ways the same-reach for the top right hand drawer, pull out a mess of letters and let the customers do the work.
 I'm tired as all get out to-day. Why. don't know, for I've been drinking my milk regularly, pedal ing around Central park on a bicy- cle every morning, and getting to bed by 7:5O, at the very latest, ev- cry evening.
