Ozzie Meets Debs


Earlier in the afternoon, War

Nelson, favorite of the air waves,
and the maestro who is riding to
glory with the duckman, Joe
Penner.
It was all quite social. At the
Racquet Club, if you please, and
everywhere you went you were met
by pretty debutante. Dave
Greene, who runs the ritzy May
fair dances at the Ritz-Carlton in
New York, served as grand mar
shall.
With all the charm and allure
Of the society buds, Harriet Hill

band and who was tired after a
week of one-night stands, can

Going on Radio

Jimmy pauses in the midst Of

he is going on the radio for %

following Eddie Cantor. Do I
think he will be a success? Well,
why not. Others with much less
natural talent have become ma
tional air favorites. He likes to
be reassured, for it's easy to see
that, like all who get the big
chance at the loud speaker, he is
secretly worried to death.
Will he go over to the May
flower and greet the Kiwanis
Club and their ladies? Certainly.
And he does. Ed Hill is making
q speech when he arrives, but
cuts it short. Joe Harris is de-
lighted at having nabbed an
other headliner. Cleland Mac
Dewitt is all smiles and his wife
Martha, a lovely platinum blonde,
invited me to sit at the table
while Jimmy performs.

Uniform Postage Rates

Agitation for a uniform and cheap
rate of postage between countries led
to conference at Berne, Switzerland,
where on October 9, 1874, the General
Postal union was created. This union
included, besides most of the Euro
pean countries, the United States, and
succeeded in lowering the average rate
from 30 to 5 cents. A second confer
ence met at Paris in 1878, changed the
name to the Universal Postal union,
and adopted a code known as the
"Convention of Paris" Nearly all
civilized countries are now MEMBERS
In 1924 Switzerland issued special
stamps to commemorate the fiftieth an
niversary OF the signing Of the code
The stamps show the building in which
the 1874 conference met. Switzerland
occupies peculiar position in the
union, for the government Of the Swiss
confederation is the chief executive
of the u. p. u.

Word "Yankee" Believed
to Be of Indian Oripin

The exact origin Of the word "Yan-
kee" is vague, but since the early Eng
lish Colonists of Massachusetts were
first called that it is commonly ac-
cepted that Yankees, or Yenghees was
the Indians effort to pronounce ENG
lish," says Pathfinder Magazine. 9th
ers say it was the Indian corruption
Of "Anglais," the French word for
English" If the latter Is the case
the name must have originated with
the Canadian Indians, since they were
the first to come in contact with the
French. The word was used by the
British soldiers about 1775 as a term
of contempt for the New Englanders.
During the Civil war the southerners
applied 1t generally to all northern
people, while In Europe 1t is quite
common to refer to all Americans as
Yankees. Properly speaking, it ap-
plies only to citizen Of the New Eng
land states.

MEMS BIBLE CLASS
AGAIN AT RIALTO

The Hamilton Mems Bible Glass is
again holding it's regular Sunday
morning sessions in the Rialto the
tre. For the past three years the
class has been meeting in common
pleas court room in the court house.
This was through the courtesy of the
county commissioners. Previous to
this time, during the pastorate of
Rev. Frank Sayers at the First Bap-
tist Church, the meetings had been
held at the Rialto.
The change back to the theatre was
made necessary because of the great
growth in membership of the class
the past several months. The first
meeting at the theatre was held Sun
day, and was largely attended.

Hurricanes Not Called
Cyclones at Beginning

Hurricanes originate In the tropics.
If they become large enough, hurri-
canes become cyclones. But the term
cyclone seldom is used, because peo-
pie In areas usually visited by destruc-
tive storms have become accustomed
to needing the hurricane warnings
and would be confused, and possibly
lulled into a feeling Of security, II
the less ominous term Of cyclone were
used in describing the approach Of a
storm.
A tornado is In the cyclone family,
however, because all Of the destruc-
tive windstorms begin with high tenn
peratures and areas Of low pressure,
which start the circulation Of air.
Thereafter, the fury Of the storm Is
cumulative.
Tropical cyclones generate and rage
In the Caribbean sea near the West
Indies, in the China sea and in waters
near the Philippine islands. The Fill
pinos know such storms as baguios,
while similar storm on the China
sea is known all over the world as a
typhoon. The wind direction in all
such storms is horizontal and circular.
In tornadoes, water spouts and twist.
ers, the motion is vertical and circu-
lar.
Weather experts, aided by traditions
Of the sea and actual observation,
have found the center Of hurricane
origin as "the doldrums." The dol
drums was the prison Of many a ship
in the days Of sailing vessels. It Is
a spot in the sea off the northeast
coast of South American which be-
comes calm In late August or early
In September.
