1.-THE first step in this appalling
conspiracy would be the abduction
of the president during his Sleep"
he wrote, ''at first blush this would
appear to be a difficult IL not inn
possible escapade, because the
president is carefully guarded at
all hours of the day and night.
"Neverthele the conspirators
hit upon scheme for surmount-
ing the obstacle. They decided to
inveigle the president into attend
ing speech by Representative
Hamilton Fish, of New York-a
sedative so powerful that 1t has
heretofore triu.nphed over the
most persistent cases Of insomnia.
"Then, after the betrayed presi-
dent had been spirited away to a
secret hiding place (said to be the
same spot where j. p. Morgan and
Charlie Mitchell have kept their
incomes since 1890, the conspira-
tors would set up q triumvirate of
dictatOrs, consisting of the senator
from Ohio, Mr. Fess; the senator
from Iowa. Mr. Dickinson, and the
senator from Indiana, Mr. Robin
son. The theory behind this move
Is that after about two weeks of
this dictatorship the American peo-
pie would either turn to bolshevism
or turn on the gas. AS you will see,
the traitors are thoroughgoing
realists, intimately acquainted with
public sentiment.
1.-THE person from whom I OBJ
tanned these narrowing facts is a
noted educator. It was he who
first taught ostriches to run back
ward in order to keep the sand
out of their eyes. He also excels
in many other lines. He introduced
America to the popular sport Of
wrestling on horseback; he per-
fected the left-hand monkey
wrench, and even now he is work
ing on a device whereby eggs may
be fried on the upper, or republic
can side, before they are fried on
the under, or democratic side"
although you have doubtless
guessed his name by this time,
think I should state it, for the
record, together with his address,
so that he may be available for
the official investigations which
seem to be inevitable. allude, o.
course, to DIR Hilbert J. Squirrel

BAN OF HITLER

New York, April 2-(UP)-Rev-
elation in the annual report of the
Carnegie Endowment for Interna-
tional Peace that it's education pro-
gram in Germany was suddenly
cancelled in February, 1898,
brought the explanation to-day
that the Hitler government caused
the suspension.
A spokesman for the endowment
explained that the reason for the
bar presumably was that the or
ganization's insistence on free dis
cussion of international relations
was contrary to the aims of the
NaZi regime.

 Hockey records, of course, do not impress the average U. s. sports ob- server as do baseball figures, al- though the reverse is true in Can ada.
 However, it may be said broadly that averaging between 30 and 40 points during the hockey season of A games is equivalent to a baseball batting average of 300 to .350. Bill Cook, in II consecutive seasons Of big league hockey, has collected AS points, including playoffs, for an average of 40 per season. The Ranger captain topped the Nation al League scorers in 1927 and 1883. His high mark for one year-thc equivalent of batting over 400 in baseball-was 59 goals in 1929-3O

words:
"The electric workers had complete
victory. The parade became victory march. The
mere threat of general strike had won partial
victory. BY Sunday the Auto-Lite workers had
cracked through with victory on their own ac-
count"
THE strikers found something different Only 96
were hired and these we're not given their old
jobs back Another special union meeting was held
where the workers voted for strike again and mass
picketng on Wednesday morning. Ramsey be-
coming excited, rushed over to see Taft, but over
200 strikers, led by the rank and file militants
marched through the streets to the Commodore
Perry Hotel where Taft and Ramsey were closeted.
The Communist Party and Unemployment Council
again issued leaflets showing the role of Ramsey,
etc. in putting over this sell-out and giving line
of action to the workers Wednesday morning over
800 workers in front Of Auto-Lite refusing to
go in unless they all got their jobs back. After
more conferences between Ramsey and Mininger
it was announced that all those working before

spending number of scabs fired. The rank and
file insisted upon all or none. A vote resulted in
100 taking this position but the others decided to
accept the compromise. The scabs supposed to be
laid off merely went out one door and re-entered
another. This increased the workers and al who
