THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Mr.. and Mrs. Templeton Jones
thought they would take Mary Louise
out to the Zoo.
It wasn't very often they had a
chance to take her, she was only an
occasional visitor at their home, but
it was an opportunity not to be
missed.
Besides giving the adolescent an
opportunity of seeing the elephants
and things, including the monkeys
which children always like, the visit
would give the Jones chance to view
the tropical fish collections.
The Jones home looked more like
q pet store than residence, since
Jones had taken up the tropical fish
hobby.
There were tanks on the book
cases, in all the windows, even an
overflow Of them upstairs. This ar
rangement made feeding somewhat OF
a task, what with running up and
down, and spilling fishfood on the
rugs.
Ten-year-old Mary Louise showed
no particular enthusiasm about going
1t would have been just as enter
tanning to her to stay all morning al
the Jones home, where she was In
stalled for several days.
She was having a great time, eating
apricot mousse for breakfast.
Ice cream for breakfast! Certainly
when you were visiting the Temple
ton Jones!
Anything went, everything went.
There were a multitude Of fine
books to read, and Mary Louise coulo
have got through one. at least In the
time required to plod dutifully
through the rather damp geological

"You'd like to see the big elephant
wouldn't you?" asked Mrs. Jones.
"Uh, huh," sighed Mary.
There were many animals down 1r
the country, where she came from, ar
elephant more or less couldn't make
much difference.
"And there are bears, and monkeys
and lions and things"
Mary shut her book.
"All right, let's CO.

could not figure out. 1t was much

1,056 Kinds of Stamps
Counted by Magazine.
La Opinion, Santo Domingo How
many different kinds of postage
stamps are there? This is a ques-
tion which the profane and uninitiated
often ask the collectors, and which
the last in general do not know how
to answer. However, there really need
be no further uncertainty about the
matter, for South American peri
odical devoted to the art, science or
obsession, whichever you prefer to
call it, of collecting postage stamps,
the Brasil Philatelico, has taken the
trouble to gather all available statis-
tics upon this important subject.
The editors have ascertained be-
yond any likelihood of serious error
that from the date of the first issue
of postage stamps until the first Of
July, in 1882, exactly 61,056 different
varieties have been published OF
these, 1886 were originated in Eu-
rope, 1929 in America, including the
northern and southern continents;
1882 in Africa, COLT in Asia and
3,082 in Oceania.
The countries which have been
most lavish in a diversity of issues
are Nicaragua, with 1888 distinct
types; Colombia, with 1,062, and Tur-
key, with 1,o57. The countries re-
markable for the fewest issues are
King Edward VII Land, which has
circulated but one, and South Vic
toria Land, which has published two.
Both these latter regions are in Ant
arctica, where there are very few
persons to use the mails.

at the same time, 1t seemed to Jones,
but one was enough.
The driver said he would be de-
lighted to take such charming per-
son as Mary Louise to the Zoo. OF
course, he didn't put it exactly that
way, nor did Mary herself take 1t that
way, but the Templeton Jones did.
Mary seated herself on the small
seat looking backward.
She held on with her right hand to
the door.
Riding in automobiles OF any sort
was to her terrific bore.
She did not care for their own car
at home, and certainly she wasn't
going to get enthusiastic about a taxi
She had rather be reading about
Tarzan and the Golden Lion, any
way.
"Just put us down at the entrance, >
said Jones.
Take you right to the Lion House, >
smiled the driver.
Mary Louise brushed back a few
locks Of her golden hair with a weary
left hand.
She had seen Garbo use that ges-
ture, and it seemed to be good, even
If one were only 10 years old.
The taxi drove along the curvine
drive, past the ponds where the water
fowl congregated in good weather
They were doing precious little con.
gregating today.

thought, as they stepped on to the
board floor, which has echoed to the
footsteps Of heaven knows how many

tors.
The lions were just getting theil
dinner.
One old fellow was crouched down
chewing away, his eyes clear and un-
defiant, as if food were the last
| thought in his life. He reminded
Jones of a dowager he had seen at 6
tea, once, and never forgotten. If the
lion had said: Yes, my dear" hi
would not have been surprised in tht
least.
"And now,' said Jones, blithely
lets go see the monkeys"
Jaw, I don't want to see the mon.
keys" replied Mary.
What, not want to see the monkeys.
Templeton Jones found it difficult t.
see the monks.
You wait until you see 'em. you'll
like 'em."
But Mary Louise wandered wearil,
through the monkey house.
An old baboon interested he
mildly, but she kept inquiring abou
the fishes.
Finally the caravan went to tht
| house where the tanks are kept. Mos
of them, at this particular visit, wer'
filled with giant turtles with moss OF
their backs. The tropical fish displa!
was not SO hot, as the young folks say
Jones had better one at home.
Mary surveyed the elephant witt
apathy.
Try and throw peanut into hi
trunk" suggested Templeton Jones
recalling his own l0-year age.
Well, sir, it worked like magic. Mar.
Louise was an athlete, and her frs
toss landed a peanut squarely in tn
elephants mouth.
He didn't even have to scurr,
around with his trunk, every toss wen
straight.
Watch me, now"
And in would go another peanut.
1t was a grand finale to a visit t,
the Zoo.

Criticism.
When you find a fond delusion
That has made a friend believe
That, by means Of his intrusion,
All the world will cease to grieve,
If you should go boldly to it
You can show it's not the fact,
But you really shouldn't do it.
1t would only spoil the act.

Is to hynotize the crowd
Drifts into a wrong position.
Never bawl him out aloud.
For his friends and his relations
Praise his wisdom and his tact.
If you voice your condemnations.
You might only spoil the act.
Now this world Is histrionic,
The philosopher has said.

Do not speak of what he lacked.
If his fault you demonstrated.

T A SUISSE, Geneva Though
Uncle Sam is said to be in
the disagreeable position of
- not being able to buy any
thing else in particular, he is
at present very active in his pur-
chases of gold. wherever this most
precious commodity is for sale, wheth-
er at home or abroad. President
Roosevelt is reportedly the instigator
Of this new monetary experiment and
in fact is generally credited with the
inception of every fresh effort to
surmount the depression which has
been attempted in America. This
whole hearted acknowledgment of his
initiative is not without its disadvan-
tages, for while he is praised for every
expedient which produces acceptable
results, he Is likewise eXcoriated for
every debacle in the reconstruction
trend. Thus Mr.. Roosevelt finds HIM
self in the ambiguous position of
botn saint and sinner in the eyes Of
his compatriots, according as the is
sues of his endeavors prove profitable
to them or the reverse. The average
Americans idea Of heaven is plenty
of money in his pockets; without that
safeguard and consolation he is a be-
ing helpless and detected.
Such mental reaction is particu-
larly strange when we recall that
when the United States was at the
apex Of her prosperity probably more
strife and discord ragged in that land
than in the darkest period of the
crisis. Somehow that gold now so
eagerly desired, but then possessed in
greater or less measure by practically
every citizen, did not avert calami-
ties nor alleviate miseries, though
perhaps they were of a different sort.
It is not likely that whether 1000, 900
or 100000 men are employed again
under the recovery program the final
state of America will be any better
than that which so recently preceded,
and from which the declension was
so facile and so precipitate.
Meanwhile, however, the search for
gold does not cease in the United
States. Thousands Of men out of
work are leaving the cities to try their
luck in regions supposed to be aurif-
erous-chiehy, it is told, in the State
of Colorado. These certainly display
concrete evidence of their repugnance
to imitation.

LABOR PRAISES
Halter RULING
BY U. S. BOARD
Danbury Decision CenSureS
Boycott of Worker
Election.

BIZ Scripps- HoiCdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Nov pa Sec
ond Danbury Hatters decision, this
one by the national labor relations
board, is expected by labor men to
plug one of the possible loopholes
left by the Houde majority rule de-
cision.
The first Danbury Hatters case,
dragging from 1902 to 1915, ended
with the supreme courts famous de-
cision that labor boycott of nom
union products violated the anti
trust laws.
In the new case, a company union
boycotted an election of collective
bargaining representatives super
vised by the NLRB. The board has
given the Danbuy & Bethel Fur Co..
hat makers in the Matchmaking
center, until Wednesday to recog-
nize a union of the United Hat Fur
Workers.
This union got nineteen of twenty
six votes cast in the election Aug. II
A few hours prior to the vote, a
meeting of the shop union had voted
seventy to twenty-six against par
ticipating.
The labor board reported that
President Pizetsky of the company
started the shop union in July at
the end of general two-month
strike of Danbury matters. The
United union charged, and the
boards decision supports the charge
that workers were offered their old
jobs back, at that time, on condition
that they join a company union.
The NLRB ruled that the COM
rany violated the collective bar
gaining guarantee of Section IA.
Labor men consider this valua-
BILE supplement to the Houde de-
cision, in which the board ruled that
majority may designate the COL
lective- bargaining representatives to
negotiate for the whole unit-plant
company, craft or department.
