Signs Of Change

DUT we are coming out of it.
- Only two members of Presi-
cent Hoover'S cabinet are dry.
What was the score three years ago?
Even Senator Robinson thinks we
might do worse than send an am
bassador to Moscow. What did we
think in 1928?
General Charles G. Dawes de-
scribeS operations on the New York
Stock Exchange as picayunish and
as magnif1ed out of all proper
ton to legitimate business activi-
ties. How would such a statement
have been received during the
boom?

the chosen people, did perform
miracles.
No such things can be done by
our government. Therefore, the
tunctioning of a government crea-
ted organization such as the Re-
construction Finance Corporation,
can proceed only along natural lines.
If the corporation succeeds in do
ing things for which it was created,
It shall have worked to the satisfac-
ton OF the great mass of the Ameri.
can people.

1T SEEMS TO ME BY H FR0z}S

distinguished cluster of white
around each temple is matter of
artifice.
In rebuttal I would argue that no
man let's nature take its course and
leave him iron gray if he knows any
better way to improve his condition.
My hair, both in it's texture and
color, may be a poor thing, but I
insist it is my own, and if a COM
nlittee of three will step up from
the audience I feel certain that I
can convince them of that fact.
n
The Heavy Hand of Time
XXTHEN first noticed a sparse
w spot no bigger than q dime,
I took this sign of advancing years
to heart and rubbed in lotions so
potent and self-revelatory that my
best friends had no hesitation in
telling me.
But about this time I read a COM
forting book by doctor who de-
clared that badness was wholly
matter of heredity and that If one
were doomed that way there was no
escape in any form of oil or paste
or benef1cent suggestion.
This saved great deal of time
and trouble, and the dime grew
to a silver dollar. Indeed, have
given up all hope of ever returning
to the gold standard. BY and large
it matters very little. Since I am
six feet three, my deficiency is OBJ
vious only to those in the first and
second balconies.
While 1 was stage struck, this
worried me, but having now re-
conciled myself to private life, not
even the opinion of those In the
orchestra can take a cubit from
my stature.
Yet I would have no one think
that am resting solely from lack
Of opportunity. It is a sacrifice
which I have made for the sake of
journalism and the good will of my
employer.
Only month ago an enterpris-
ing manager offered me a job as
master of ceremonies in a revue
about to go upon the road. In
modest way which use to be in
gratiating I answered him and said,
But, sir, do not think that I
would be very funny"
You don't quite get the idea"
explained the manager. "You don't
have to be funny. We just play
one day in each town and then
move on"

COLLIE is HERO
IN DOG RESCUE
Saves Companion Trapped
in Icy Water.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WINNIPEG, Dec. 16.-This story
of dog bravery and reasoning is
vouched for by John Wood of this
city.
Il was watching with my field
glasses from the east side of the
river" Wood said. THE river there
is about 600 feet across.
"On my side I saw a big police
dog barking his head off at three
dogs running along the opposite
bank. The big fellow started across
the ice.
About thirty feet from the shore.
the ice gave way, and he was trapped
in small patch OF water that was
free Of ice"
"A big collie, with amazing abil-
ity, tried to get near his strug-
Cling companion. He crawled care
fully to the water trap, leaned over,
and with his teeth in the scruff of
