Old Cushion Well Stuffed

Hundred thousand franc notes
futtered out from an old cushion
cast Off by auctioneers, in Paris,
France, when two idle employees
began to play with it. The money
amounting to $4,000, was collect
ed and put into a safe. The pur-
chaser of the furniture, Of which
the cushion was a part, experienced
life's darkest moment when he
found out what had happened. for
1t was he who had told the auc-
tioneer to throw the pillow away,
as it was unworthy his taking home.

Plan Of Fort StePhenso
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON

n A park q short distance from the
center of the city Of Fremont, Ohio,
stands a tall monument which does
not differ enough from the usual Civil
war memorials, found In hundreds Of
towns throughout the United States,
to stop the passing motorist and cause
him TO read the inscription thereon.
But nearby there is something which
is quite likely TO halt him before he
speeds on his way. II is little cannon,

She Was Piqued and Puzzled.
Miss Gimpey, for the first time in
her brief Career, as a high-voltage
Vamp, found herself In the Pres
ence of Male who did not fall
for the Shoulder Action and a very
superior line Of Work with the Eyes
She was piqued and puzzled and
to be Literary for the Nonce, one
might almost say that she was In
trigued. She was accustomed to
see them curl up like Bacon in a
Skillet.
She said to herself that this Bud.
die might be hard one to upset
but it was her experience that the
longer they held out the harder
they fell. So she began to throw
at him Everything she had, little
Suspecting that Saint Anthony, who
withstood the Twelve Temptations,
had an easy time of it as compared
with Mr.. Frappey, the bogus Wom-
an-Hater.
She carried the Battle to him and
let him have Volley after Volley of
Soft Sighs and coy Chances. One
Evening, when it seemed as if she
had lost, he wrapped his muscular
Right Fin around her supple Waist
and reverted to Type. He began to
gurgle all the incoherent and idiotic
Platltudes Of conventional Court
ship. He wanted her to marry him
early next Morning.
After she got back to her Room
and Strengthened her Bob, she real
lied that Sir Launcelot was just an
ordinary Dub and would be an Aw-
full Thing to have around the House
She knew that If he repulsed her
and continued to treat her as q
Silly Child, she might have wor-
SHIPPED him throughout Eeternity
and even beyond. AS 1t was, she
sent curt note, in which she ex-
planned that she would always en-
tertain a certain Respect for him
but she was dead sure they never
could hit 1t off as Man and Wife,
because their Natures were not
compatible. In a very nice and
diplomatic way she dropped him
from a Fourth Story Window onto
the hard Concrete.
When he read her note by the
Morning Light Of Cold Philosophy
he was much relieved. He knew
that she had trlcked him by having
a Battery concealed somewhere on
her Person. Being once more un-
der Restraint he was more than
ever convinced that a Mas is a
Chump to give way to any natural
Impulse or recognize the Existence
Of what Is sometimes known as the
Opposite Sex.
She told everybody about it but
no one believed her.

N-AMERICAN ART

Julian Peabody, Architect, Ex.

A Pan-American atmosphere is In
evidence at the Corcoran Gallery Of
Art by reason Of two special exhibi-
tions at this time on display therein.
These are the series of water colors
by Eliot O'Hara, result of his recent
South American tour, and an exhibi-
ton composed largely Of Central Amer

Peabody of New York. Both artists
have used the same medium, but the
two separate exhibits are distinct in
spirit and treatment
Mr.. Peabody's collection consists Of
"A small paintings installed in the

hall, spot necessarily passed by every
visitor to the gallery. These have
ELECTED special interest. both because
Of the subject matter and also their
treatment, but q third interesting cir.
cumstance, unknown to most who view
them, is the fact that Mr.. Peabody is,
by profession, an architect. As is often
the case with other architects, his sec

OF number Of the paintings are struc-
lures of some sort, ranging from cathe-
drals and Mayan ruins to thatched
huts, they and their natural surround
ings are painted with great freedom
and give the beholder the impression
Of thorough enjoyment on the part of
the artist.
OF interest in this connection, 1t u
pointed out, Is the recollection OF other
architects who have found o welcome
avocation In painting. Charles A. Plat,
for example, in addition to his OUT
standing reputation in his profession,
= both an etcher and painter. Man
tas. Fielding, another eminent archi-
tect, is an authority on early American
portraits, having performed invaluable
work in connection with the recent
Washington Bicentennial art exhibits
The warm light Of tropical and semi
tropical scenes apparently are espe-
ctally appealing to Mr.. Peabody. In
addition to Central American, the COL
orful aspect Of such localities as Tahiti,
New Mexico and st. Jean de Luz have
furnished him with inspiration for pic
lures. A coincidence in the present
exhibit ts the fact that the cases in
which his pictures are displayed were
specially designed for the gallery by
Charles A. Platt, brother architect.

SlC IN Jur1eS. H A"OOAH>0O1>
What's your reaction to
that? Do you agree? Many
will. They'll say:
Women aren't reasoning
creatures, anyway. Men go
at things intelligently. Women
go at things emotionally. They
can't be impersonal. Women
have no more right to be on
the jury than children. They
judge like children; decide &C.
cording to their prejudices.
Why, knew a woman juror
once who"-
Then will follow amazing
yet perfectly authentic stories
of the woman Juror who re-
fused to condemn a notorious
young criminal because "he
was such a lovely looking
boy" that she "just knew he
couldn't be really bad"-
And of another woman who
furiously demanded conviction
because the prisoner had ad-
mitted he was a Socialist and
"a person who believed in So
cialism wouldn't stop at any
crime"
Eyes, sir" they say in con-
clusion, that Idaho legisla-
ture was right. You just can't
trust women to use their
brains in public affairs. They
aren't geared up for work like
that"
However, there's another
group who conceded that wom-
en- have brains-plenty Of
'em-but who also believe
they shouldn't serve on juries.
Women are too fine and
sensitive for work like that"
they protest. "It hurts and
hardens a woman to know
about the seamy side of life.
Let the men do it; they can
stand it. But women should
be protected"
And then there are those
who believe that Women Are
People and quite as well fitted
to cope with current conditions
as males.
"PrOtected9 POohI" they CRY.
The Washington times., 1933-03-15

why should a modern woman
need protection? She grows
up with men; competes with
them in sports; works for them,
and frequently is their much
more successful business rival.
mot kno7 her world? That's
nonsense! Women deal with
the world as much as men;
often, more. In many cases
the wife supports the family
while the husband is unem-
ployed. She's actually the
head of the house, doing every
thing the husband used to do.
Then why deny her jury duty?
"And as for men jurors
are THEY chosen because of
their intelligence and expert
ence? Look them over! Some
of them have the brains Of six
year-olds. And as for prejudices,
you'll find just as many fool
notions among men as you'll
ever find among women!"
So there you have public
opinion, pro and con, on the
question Of women jurors.
And your vote is-What?
