that thousands Of people viii no doubt
play and even go so far as to imagine
they're having good time, but as for
me nothing is ferther from my in
clinations and intentions. To state
the case in the plain unequivocal
language of blunt man, q thousand
times no, he said.
Being the same way he genrelly
feels about bridge, and ma said, Well,
I suppose it's wonderful thing to
know your own mind. I ony wish
I knew my own just as emfatically

not and why so and maybe. mean

who knows not ony what he doesn't
want to do but also what he does
want to do, pop said. Shall I go
around to Peets for few hours of
carefree bowling, or shall I cerl up in
my bedroom slippers and commune
through the still mite with one of the
master minds of itterture, such as
the fellow that wrote Merder in the
Parsonage? I could proberly finish
that book tonite If start rite after
supper, but on the other hand I
haven't bowled for 3 mites. and who
am I to expect to be perfeck without

Wich just then the doorbell rang
and ma said, o my goodness that

they said they were coming early.

II all were lust alike IN taste.
Old Mother Nature.
TwO 8dd-looking cousins were sit
tinG under a bush in Farmer
Browns yard. They were Old
u Mr. Toad and Stickytoes the
Tree Toad\ They were alike, yet un-
like That rs to say. they were enough
alike in app&arance for any one, seeing
them for the first time, to know that
thew were rSlated. But in many re-
spects they Here quite different. Old
Mr.. Toad ws6 squat and homely. He
was covered Rwith warts. There was
nothing beauk kiful about him, except
ing his eyes These were beautiful
enough to ma Ike up for whatever else
he lacked in& good looks.
StickytoesE on the other hand, was
smaller andN less clumsy looking, al
though he tsWas fat and also rather
SQUAT. He dAdn't have warts like Old
Mr.. Toad, bSst his skin wasn't smooth
like that Of irandfather Frog. The
most surprising difference was in
the fingers and toes. Each finger and
each toe of Btickytoes ended in q
little round dix and these little disks
were sticky. Now you can guess
where he got his name.
at isn't Bitten I see you on the
ground" said Old Mr.. Toad.

wanted ta pass the time of day with

NO" said Old Mr.. Toad, "I never
do. I couldn't if I wanted to. and
most of the time don't want to. 1t
is only onc& in while that feel as
if would Nike to know what it is
like to be up OF the ground"

Enthusiastically. 81 reallN don't feel at

all right for those who, like it, but

That wouldn't do for {ne," said
Old Mr.. Toad. You know I'm not
much on jumping. Aren't }you ever
afraid of falling when you lgo jump
ing around up there in a tre%?"
Not a Bit" replied Shtckytoes.
That's what comes of having sticky
toes. Just let me catch hold bf any
thing and I can hold on. Nc1W your
fingers and toes wouldn't do }at all
up in a tree"
Old Mr.. Toad looked at his fingers
and toes. II guess they wouldn't"
said he, but they are mighty ffandy
on the ground. Yes, sir, they are so.
I don't think I'd like fingers and toes
like yours down here"
As they set there comparing notes.
q ray of sunshine had crept through
the branches and finally fell full on
Stickytoes. Suddenly Old Mr.. Toad
began staring at his cousin in a most
Impolite manner.
It hope you see me-" said Sticky
toes, who was little put out at being

demanded Old Mr.. Toad.

TN ENGLAND after the war. the
= &tudents at oxford made the world
conscious of an unusual fashion, the
famous oxford bags. English sports
menl and country gentlemen took up
this fashion, whence it spread to
Princeton and Yale and, later, the
American sporting set. In their ex-
aggerhted form oxford bags did not
last. MANY OF their qualities, how
ever, were too excellent to be lost
and they survive, in modified version,
as gray flannel slaeks. These slacks
are entirely appropriate for general
knockabput wear with add jackets
and sport clothes in the country and
must be rated as an important rcr-
manent fashion.

OartwFiuht

THE origin Of this surname prop
- erly comes under the name of
Wright-the source which gave so
many families their cognomen. The
Anglo-Saxon word "wyrhta" signified
in the broadeSt sense workman,
but more specifically an artif1cer in
hard materials. The name smith"
was given to a worker in metals and
wright was the trade name applied
to one who worked in wood materials.
Consequently, the name wright came
to be used in connection with a car
penter, and smith was called black
smith-the "black" coming from the
smoke and the SCOT from the Smithy's
furnace.
From the trade name wright" we
get many variations Of names to which
wright is usually sufix. Such names
as Cartwright, a maker of carts or
wagons; Boatwright, Wainwright,
Shipwright, Shoewright, Glasswright
and dozens of others are we'll known
in America as well as in Great Britain
and various countries of Europe
The accompanying cost of arms is
accredited to Thomas Cartwright Of
Newark, N. j., where he was living in
the year 1882. He was descended from
the Cartwrights of County North
ampton, England. The arms are
blazoned: argent, on a fess azure,
two Catherine wheels Of the first.
Crest, lions head argent charged on
the neck with Catherine wheel
sable"
In this coat armor the Catherine
wheel" is the symbol of the wright's
trade, although the wheel itself was
originally used as an instrument Of
torture.

The Old Gardener Says ::

An astonishing number Of
new tulips appeared in gardens
this year. as many amateur
growers have no doubt noticed.
The advance in tulip culture has
put this lovely flower in the
front rank and the time to make
up planting lists is now, when
memories Of the present season
are still clear. The Darwins re-
main at the top, Of course but
double Darwins are new, and so
are the Triumph tulips, which
constitute q new race created by
crossing early and late varieties.
Another new race called Tulipa
grullemanni was produced by
crossing Darwins with Kauf-
mans tulip. q species which is
commonly used in rock gardens.
There are Mendel tulips, too,
and parrot tulips, including the
beautiful Phantasy, lily lowered
tulips, Alaska being among the
best, and many others with
which garden makers should be-
come acquainted.

Who Should Pay for
Unemployment!

Where will the money come from for the
Workers Unemployment, Old Age and Social
Insurance bill?" House Bill 12S will cost
too much. 1t will take more money than can
possibly be raised"
Such questions and arguments fly thick

ment insurance wakes hot
Such questions miss the MAIN POINT.
They are allied to the idea that the effects of
unemployment are not paid for today. They
are part of an academic approach, of an adding
machine analysis.
The full burden of unemployment is PAID
FOR today. BUT 1T is NOT PAID FOR IN
MONEY BY THE BANKERS. 1T IS PAID
FOR BY THE PEOPLE IN HUNGER, IN
SUFFERING IN SICKNESS, IN SHODDY
CLOTHES, IN SACRIFICE, DESPAIR, starry

Dear Editor:
Recently a threatening not on
the life of Max Farrar was receiv-
ed through the mails. We have
discovered the identity of one OF
the parties who wrote the note.
Complete evidence for violating
the federal mails has been turned
in to the prosecutor. But it looks
very much as though nothing will
be done about it.
The person who sent this let
ter is being paid by the welfare
to snoop on Max FarraI and the
family with whom he is staying.
This person is an ex-prison guard
from Leavenworth.

We have proof Of where the
note was typewriter and the
typewriter it was written on. We
also have two carbon copies of the
same note.
The note stated that xxx was
after Max; that If he did not
leave he would be taken for a ride
from which he would not return.

War Wanted Again

In 1916 Hearst, having failed
in his attempts to draw us into
war with Mexico, pleaded for
war with Japan. The reason? At
that precise time the Japanese
imperialists were getting a pow
erful hold on Chinese markets
the imperialist objective of the
ROckefellers, and their press
king ally, Hearst. During these
very months the Morgan interests
were driving toward war with
Germany, because they had made
huge loans to England and an
English defeat would have been
bad for them. For reasons of
publicity and circulation increase
Hearst was shouting against 60
ing to war in aid of England.
When the other imperialist
forces proved stronger than his
and declared war on Germany
early in 1917, Hearst-over night
changed his tune from hymn of
hate into a hymn of praise for
the English people.
The same sort of back-flip
took place in 1894. Up to that
time the Hearst press had no
special interest in Nazi Germany
and often printed the more obvi-
Gus facts about Nazi atrocities.
One day last fall it ended. Hearst
went to Germany, paid visit to
Hitler and his aides.
Madame Hitler's Money
At once, the truth about Ger
many was stricken from the pages
of the Hearst papers. Hearst had
reached an understanding with
the Nazis whereby Germany's
newspapers were to buy all their
foreign news from Hearst's press
service, and Hearst was to re-
.ceive at least one million marks
a year for it-and Hearst was to
print only favOra BILE news about
NaZi Germany.
But not only is Hearst the
paid agent of Hitler in America
to the tune Of a million marks
a year, he is also building up
his own little fascist organiza-
tion in the U. s., eagerly await
ing the day when he can launch
a leader" on a large white
horse-such as he and his pals
planned for Smedley Butler,
but which Butler turned down
and made public.
These are some of the amazing
facts brought forth in the Daily
Worker expose of Willie Hearst's
drive toward a fascist America.
Watch the Voice of Action for fur
ther revelations on this topic of
great interest to all working
men, women and youth.
