LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson

THEMSELVES JUST AS 1
WAS.
I feel the confusion that lies
behind their hard, young smart
ness-the dreams that Waver
behind their derision.
AND I KNOW THAT THESE
YOUNG PEOPLE, IN THE
FACE OF THEIR OWN FURY
AND FALTERING, STILL Be
LIEVE IN THEMSELVES. E.
AND THAT FAITH IS JUSTI-
FLED.
For every human that was
ever worth shucks went through
just what they are going
through. Look as I said before
what happened to me. If
there ever was hopeless mess,
I was it, and yet I'm drawing
regular wages today, MIGOSH,
IF LIFE COULD MAKE A
RESPECTABLE CITIZEN OUT
OF ME, THEN ANYONE HAS
A CHANCE. AND I'M ALL
FOR GIVING THE KIDS A
HAND!

Closest Call

But-the Chinese boy who
was carrying the old box
stumbled and dropped it. The
jar knocked loose the rotten
bottom. In a second the king
cobra was out and coiled, rear
ing its head three feet in the
air and spreading it's greenish-
brown hood. Frank Buck was
caught in a blind alley-piled
up animal cages in front Of
him and to the right and left,
and the wall of a shed be-
hind him. No possible escape.
The cobra saw him and
struck with binding speed. It's
fang whizZed by Frank Bucks
leg and missed by not an inch.
He leaped back and flattened
himself against the wall. He
was cold with terror-sick with
it. AS the cobra coiled again,
he looked about desperately
for a weapon. There was moth
ing. Only his bare hands
against this living death, that
would attack as long as it had
life in it.
Frantically, he slipped out Of
his white duck coat, wrapped
it around his right hand and
arm, and then, as the cobra
lunged again, Frank Buck
threw himself upon it.
His whole weight fell upon its
head and steely neck, flattenlng
head and neck to the cement
floor, and he bore down With
desperate eagerness. screaming
for his boys, who were CULVER
ing with fright to come from
their perches on top of the
animal cages.
And there for five terrible
minutes he lay upon the writh-
ing, lashing, 12-foot horror,
until his Chinese boy heard his
shouts, came running to the
rescue, and while Frank Buck
kept the cobra pinned to the
floor, grasped it firmly and Sc
curely just behind the deadly
head.
That giant king cobra, Rex,
was the prize exhibit Of the
Reptile House of the New York
Zoo until 1929, when it died.
Mounted and lifelike, it can be
seen today in the American
Museum of Natural History.
But Frank Buck can't look at it
without his heart missing q full
beat.

Session and Recess

Nor are these janissaries of
"the invisible government" as
the aggregation of lobbyists
and the special interests they
represent have been described,
idle during the recess of Con-
gresS.
When Congress is not in ses-
sion, these sappers at the foun-
dation of free government
transfer their underestimate ac-
tivities to the executive branch
of the Government and seek to
influence it's decisions by the
same unconstitutional methods
that they employ under the
dome of the Capitol.
Flagrant example of the
lobbyists who operate when
Congress is not in session is to
be found in the greedy activities
of a group of lobbyists in the
hire of certain cordage COM
panies of this country.
The cordage lobbyists were
one of the most notorious allies
of the sugar lobbyists who put
through the Seventy-second
Congress the disgraceful Hare.
HaWes- Cutting bill which broke
every promise the American
people ever made to the
Philippine people.
One of the most Infamous
jokers in that legislative
monstrosity was inserted by the
evil Vaccinations of the cordage
lobby.
The history of this joker is
interesting because it illustrates
the way a tricky lobbyist oper-
ates.

Death Turks

He takes few unnecessary
risks, but when a man goes
into the jungle to meet savage
beasts on their own ground, he
doesn't have to look for trouble.
Death springs from the trees or
slithers from the bush and looks
him in the eye. When a man
earns his living shifting raging
Bengal tigers from pits into a
cage, or switching a murderous
king cobra from a crude and
shaky native container to a
modern snake box, gray hairs
sprout quickly among the black.
Set this stocky, pleasant
spoken, black-eyed gentleman
down in a comfortable chair,
and he'll tell you stories that
will make every individual hair
stand up on your poll and
cold chills go ripping up your
back.
There was the time when he
trapped in Jahore-one of the
five Malay states-the greatest
king cobra that ever glared
through the glass walls Of a
cage. DR.. Raymond L. Dit
mars, of the New York Zoo.
earnestly yearned for a king
cobra, and while he was at it
he yearned for a champion. So
Frank Buck got the assign
ment, and out to the Malay
states he went. He trapped
the father of all evil-the big
gest and wickedest king cobra
he had ever seen, IL feet 6
inches Of sheer ferocity, NOV
ing With the speed of a light
ming flash. I have seen that
cobra myself, and ran from
him, with terror in my heart,
one way when he got loose
in the New York Zoo.

Government By LObbieS
Sapping Confidence
By James T. Williams, Jr.-

If the Roosevelt Administra-
tion is to lay firm the founda-
ton of "the New Deal" which
it has pledged to the American
people, it must drive from the
Federal City at least some of
the lobbyists that are sapping
public confidence in the in.
tegrity of the Government of
the Constitution.
Under the leadership of the
late Senator Caraway of Ar
kansas, a special committee of
the Senate investigated the
lobby evil several years ago.
Extensive hearings were held.
A mass of astounding evidence
was adduced. But the hearings
were never printed. The evi-
dence was pigeon-holed. The
evils of the lobby continue to
plague and pollute the proc
eSses of popular government.

I often think of that when I
hear people criticizing the

Appenzell

Almost every woman visiting
Switzerland tries to arrange her
itinerary so that she can take a
peep at Appenzell, home of
those tiny handkerchiefs rich
with lovely embroidery that
have brought such fame to the
tiny village tucked away in the
far northeast OF the country.

Appenzell and a few other little
villages, famous for fine hand
work. st. Gall itself is we'll

came when he started to trans
fer the king cobra from a
native-made, wicker cage into
a fine, modern, teakwood box
with a glass cover. Buck was
all ready to make the transfer
by placing the old box over
the new and knocking out the
bottom of the old. It looked
easy. The big killer would
drop through and one quick
slide of the plateglass top
would imprison him securely.

and say "Cock-a-d -doodledo."
Other men may listen to his
troubles, but only woman who
loves him will actually ENJOY
listening when he talks about
his triumphs.
Somehow, the more money a
young married couple start out
with, the more things they seem
to find to quarrel about. After
the butcher, the grocer and the
landlord have been paid, there
isn't much left of a thirty-dol-
lar salary to Wrangle over.
Love, like a common cold,
simply can't be diagnosed or
accounted for, because no two
people, who mention "love," are
speaking of the same emotion.
Women are going feminine
but they have a long way to
go. Clothes may make the
woman-but they don't make
her feminine if she has a hard
shell manner, a husky stride
and a cold-boiled laugh.
The only women who seem to
remember what romantic love
was like are those who remem-
ber what buttonhooks, rolling
pins and hatpins were for.
If an actress can have an
understudy and a writer can use
a ghost" why can't a married
woman occasionally have some
body to Sub" for her on the
24-hour job of being good,
devoted wife?
A woman wants her wedding
and her funeral to be beautiful
and impressive, but a man
never bothers about his, prob
ably because he knows that he'll
be totally unconscious at both
of them.
