Appetizer

Park police were somewhat
perturbed recently when they
took a Great Dane into GUS
tody because of difficulty in
satiating his appetite.
They should talk to Miss
Jean Dempster.
Some time ago Admiral
Byrd presented her with a
husky, "Klondike of Nome,
who has considerable size and
considerable appetite.
The other day Miss Dempster
took the dog walking.
He saw a squirrel.
He ran. Miss Dempster
couldn't hold him.
He reached the squirrel az
that small animal was about
to climb a tree.
The squirrel disappeared. He
was just one bite for "Klondike
of Nome"

Horse Sense

Admiral Cary Grayson, known
throughout the country as an
ardent horseman, visited the
Capitol the other day.
To interested listeners he
began to expostulate on horses,
their qualities and their rec
ordS.
In the audience was Senator
Nathan Bachman, of Tennessee.
He Joined in the discussion.
Soon it became apparent that
Senator Bachman was Just as
ardent a horseman as Admiral
GraySon.
They made two decisions.
One was that mares are greater
race horses than males. And
there are plenty of horsemen
who will disagree as to that
decision.
The second argument was:
which was the greatest
race horse of all time?"
Both agreed it was Man O.
War;.

AROUND THE CAPITAL
By JOHN SNURE. JR.

Like the motorists, George
Brazelton violated a traffic
regulation or two not long ago.
He was taken into custody
and held at a police station
until he could put up two dol
lars collateral.
Like most other persons,
George was embarrassed finan-
cially at the time.
He had one dollar and ninety
cents in his pocket.
But the dime, necessary to
make collateral, was missing.
Rather than attempt to bor-
row a dime from a copper he
sat in the police station.
For three hours he waited
until his brother arrived with
the needed 10 cents.

Some of the Finest Gentlemen
DWeU in the Wilderness

these loud hoorays! After a
long period of waiting, at last
we once more come face to
face with a true gentleman.
You will hardly ask me to
define that word gentleman"
There are so many definitions
and none of them seems to
quite cover the case. Therefore
let me approach the problem
from a different angle. What
you have done seems to indi-
cate that your soul reacts very
delicately and very accurately
to very fine sense of proper.
ton. And when all is said and
done. isn't that the highest
achievement for mere mortal
man-to have a true sense of
the eternal proportions?
That sense of proportions
was long since thrown over
board by those responsible for
our present state of civilization.
They misread the Constitution.
In their hurry to get at prac-
tical results they skipped those
words which insist that all men
are born equal before the
law" They flattered the multi
tudes by telling them that they
were born equal in every other
respect of the word, and then
the trouble began.
For bad taste is like bad
money, and invariably it. will
drive out good taste, and good
taste on the part of the masses
is a phenomenon which up to
the hour of publishing has
never yet made itself manifest
to the eyes of even the most
careful observers.
PERSPECTIVE
Now it is one OF the main
characteristics of bad taste to
attach undue Importance to the
wrong thing. A bad musician
will invariably put the accent
on the wrong note. A bad
painter will throw a picture out
of gear by smearing a tiny bit
of red or yellow just where it
does not belong. And so on,
all along the line.
Since for the moment there
were no channel swimmers or
flag pole sitters or other heroes
upon whom the multitude
could bestow it's favors, the
quintuplets were dragged in to
give a little relief to lives that
otherwise would have expired
from sheer boredom. Next the
little darlings were promoted
to a status of Importance that
bore no relation whatsoever to
the actual facts. Next they
would have pushed everything
else from the front page in an
orgy of sluShy Sentimentality.
Next they would have become
the greatest historical event
since Columbus failed to dis
cover Asia.
And then you came along
and you set us all straight
again.
Thank you, doctor. Thank
you most cordially and SINGER
ely. And come again, and the
next time we shall just treat
you as a human being and
not as a rival of the cat that
eats cucumbers.
