Capital Capers
-BY GEORGE ABELL

DATIENT DR.. LEO ROWE, director general
i of the Pan-American Union, is growing a
trlfie bored with the long, often futile, sessions
of the Pan-American Union governing board.
So Leo determined to grease the wheels OF
progress and have the sessions run smoothly and
efficiently to a happy conclusion. AT this weeks
meeting he had the various business before the
board neatly typewriter.
Each diplomat, as he arrived, found before
him a sheet of paper with everything spelled for
him in black and white. That-thought Leo
ought to make things clear.
It worked beautifully at first. Then Am
bassador Felipe ESpil of Argentina suddenly dis
covered that efficient Leo had not been efficient
enough In fact, he had omitted to furnish the
text of an important and highly technical ques-
ton.
IRON that time on, things went from bad to
L worse First, DR.. Rowe had to find the
missing text, which he finally did-under heap
of papers
Then, erudite Minister Alfaro of Panama
stood Up and talked for an hour about the queS-
ton.
Colleagues began to yawn discreetly f1dget,
glance at their watches and wonder how long he
would go on.
At last amid applause (either for the we'll
delivered speech or its conclusion), Envoy Al
faro sat down. The meeting was about to ad-
journ-only an hour late
Mr.. Chairman" began voice
Minister Gonzales of Costa RIGA was already
on his feet. He grated for another hour on the
necessity of American schools teaching more
Spanish and Portuguese.
Gonzales pleaded that if any money was left
over from the publication of the Pan-American
bulletin, these funds should be diverted to the
cause of teaching Spanish here. Since publica-
ton of the bulletin invariably results in deficit
this plan seems doomed to defeat.
The session broke up hours late.
DR.. Rowe has about decided to give up his
idea of greasing the wheels of progress. Any
how, he has the faculty of withdrawing into
himself.

MOTORING PRACTICE OF
POLICE RAPED
RY Miss N. r.

By Miss N. r.
Here is a little incident that hap
pened when I was coming home
from work that I would like to re-
port.
The time was $3.50 in the after
noon. The Shelby street car stopped
at a street corner, where there isn't
a safety zone. A police squad car
was following the car. Instead of
stopping, the officers drove OH. A
woman was getting off. She had to
wait until the police got by-if she
had stepped down, she would have
been hit.
I think if the police would begin
to arrest each other it would be a
good idea. They are more reckless
than the ones they arrest.

AGITATION WITHOUT
PAID ORGANIZER

BY Times Reader.
Some of us in the filling station
union local No. 1890, are getting
a big kick out of the Associated
Business Builders articles on paid
organizers and agitators. AS far
as our union is concerned the build
ers are all wet and are barking up
the wrong tree, as we have no Or
ganizers.
A paid rganizer-a gitator is as
useless to JUS as a swimming suit is
for Byrd in his isolated ice hut.
Whenever we need to agitate the
boys we just remind them of the
long hours, small pay, shortage,
quotas, ETC., that they were COM
PEELED to abide by before the NRA
and they get agitated quick enough.

This Is one Of the predictions
