Then a special ceremony is fol-
lowed. The gypsy musicians, led
by the fellow who plays the
balalaika or guitar, approach
the guests one by one, with a
glass of champagne on a tray.
The guest, if properly reSpon.

All, well! Slowly, the gay and
pleasing customs of the worm
out old world are penetrating
the self-consciousness of this
brisk young hemisphere.

watamie Chapter D. A. R. of
Gary, Indiana, will remain
faithful to the dear doctor with
their last patriotic breath. They
so wrote Senator Robinson of
Indiana in heartfelt tones.
"The POttawatOmie Chapter
regrets the evident attempt on
the part of certain officials in
Washington to make light of the
charges made by DIR. w. A.
Writ of the cOmmunistic tenden-
cieS of the present executive de-
partment of the Government Of
the United States.

wish to assure you that DIR. w.

thinker who would not make
ridiculous and unsubstantiated
charges" .
enator Robinson, deeply
moved by such affection, asked
to have the letter inserted in the
Congressional Record. Where
upon, up jumped little Senator
Bob La Toilette, and asked that
a dubious editorial encourage
ment from the Capital Times Of
Madison, Wisconsin, be likewise
inserted in the immemorial re-
cord. Here are a few of the
best phrases of the editorial:
To DIR. William A. Writ,
President, Writ Witchsniffery,.
Inc, Gary, Ind.
MY Dear DIR. Writ: Every
loyal citizen is with you in your
tremendous One-man drive to
prevent the Roosevelt "brain
trust" from delivering the United
States, plainly wrapped in cello
phane, to Soviet Russia.
Your discoveries of "brain
trust" rascality are not only
mOmentOus, but miraculous. You
have, magician that you are,'
pulled Russian wOlfhOund out
of the Presidents top hat!
But you have not gone far
enough! The COmmuniStic
scheming of the ''brain trust"
fades to insignificance before
the gigantic plot being hatched
by the super brain trust!
1 have full proof of this amaz-
ing conspiracy, DR.. Writ, and
when the proper time comes 1
will submit. it to your witch
sniffery factory for chemical
analysis by your experts on
bOgeys and hObgObIins. know
that the story of this plot is
true because it was told me in
confidence by a side show
barker, who got it from the
tattOOed man, who learned it
from a Harlem night club piano
player, who has flat feet and
has never been known to play
parchesi after 9 o'clock on
Thursday. This circumstance
alone, DIR. Writ, throws a sim
lister light on the whole nefari-
Gus plot.
The super "brain trust" sir,
is led by none other than DR..
Albert EinStein, the eminent
mathematician! And it pro-
poses at a given signal to have
the radical supreme court de.
clare unconstitutional the law
of gravity and thus with satanic
cunning have our world an.
nexed by the Interstellar Soviet
Republic of the Fourth Di-
o DIR. Writ, we look to you
for leadership in saving our ma.
tiOn from the super brain
trust" which would reduce us
rugged individuals to the status
of pOllywOggleS in the milky
way.
