tea with Queen Mary at Buckingham
palace, served in the queens private
apartments, that few American women
have seen. Nobody knows what was
said by the two most estimable grand
mothers.
No doubt Mrs Roosevelt told Queen
Mary a great deal about 'the most
wonderful son in the world" Franklin
Delano. Mrs. Roosevelt might have
said truly to the wife of the British
king and emperor, my son has more
power, and uses more power, than
any ruler on earth, not excepting your
fine husband, King George"
On the Far Rockaway branch of
the Long Island railroad, passengers
saw a small dog touch the highly
charged third rail" and rise yelping
into the air. Indignant, the dog
rushed back at the rail, biting it.
More yelping. A third time the dog
returned to the attack. Even third
shock did not kill, and he went else
where.
AS the small dog treated the third
rail so civilized" nations treat the
highly charged war danger. But, un-
fortunately, they don't know enough
to stay away after three tries. Half
the nations in Europe, and some in
Asia, may be back biting that same
old third war rail in q short time.
The death of James Wedell, flyer
who held the worlds record for flying,
means serious loss to this country.
When only boy, Wedell bought an
old, broken-down plane sold as junk,
repaired it, few to army headquarters
seeking chance to fight and fly in
France. Told "You can't possibly fly.
because you have only one eye" he
replied, "Why can't I? How do you
suppose got hereT'
He was an airplane designer of real
genius, skillful builder, as well as
one of the greatest pilots in the world.
His land plane record was 306 miles
an hour, and when he died he was
working on machine with which he
hoped to win the London-to-Melbourne
race next October.
Moscow newspapers accuse Japan Of
arousing hatred against Russia, men
tioning an anti-Soviet film called 1.-THE
Supreme WILL" displayed in Japanese
theaters. The picture shows Russian
airplanes attacking Tokyo, and men,
tons the fact that 100000 Japanese
Titled in the Russo-Japanese war
have not been sufficiently avenged"
The important Russian newspaper
Pravda says: Japanese imperial
ism does not hesitate to use dirty
methods to SANDER the Soviet Union"
That is fighting language.
In New York, a chauffeur asked
his boss to find job for the chauf-
feur's brother. A job was found at
$25 week driving truck. The job
less brother said Indignantly:
What! Drive a truck for S25 a
week when I can get SIS week from
the government for doing nothing?
No, thank you"
That can last long time If the
government Is willing to print the
money. 1t may last not quite so long,
but several years, If the government
continues its present asinine course
OF Initiating with bonds, doubling its
debt by payment of interest.
If nudist foolishness last long
enough, and foolish nudists have money
enough, Mr.. Maurice Allard, who has
made himself president of the INA.
lures Recreative association" intends
to take hundred and sixty nudists to
lovely Wanna Wanna island in the South
seas. 1t will cost each nudist 81 900 to
go there, and, for the sake Of peace.
they must all be married and take
their wives.
Being married and taking their wives
along under nudist conditions NAV not
mean absolute peace. That remains to
be seen.
At a recent sale of old coins, some
body paid 800 for "brass dollar" of
the time Of Franklin, that dollar hay-
ing stamped on it the words, mind
your business"
If that dollar could make this conn
try take that advice, it would be cheap
at $1O0,OO0,000. Failing to mind our
business has cost the United States
many tens Of billions, and will cost
more in the future.
