NOSE STRUTS

Here he is, folks!

Here he is, folks!
Old Nose, of the Galapagos
Islands in the South Seas, has
consented to give up the home
where he lived for a hundred
years so WaShingtonians can
view his shell back and horny
legs at the Zoo.
Nose is too old to make good
turtle soup-and even if he
weren't there isn't pot big
enough to hold him. He hasn't
the speed of Omaha, but he gets
there just the same.

The Supreme Court decision

movement Of "hot" oil met with
varying reaction among New

Donald R. Richberg, No&

warned today against jumping
at any conclusions that the court,
by its action, implied the whole
NRA structure might be held
invalid in future cases.

Forest Hills Citizens Association,
meeting last night in Ben Murch

a resolution by Mrs. Leslie B.
Wright, opposing any congressional
legislation that would place the
board of education under the juris-
diction of District Commissioners
as being not to the best interest
of the public school system.
After long debate the associa,

King, chairman of the Senate Dis,

lots better in 1935-including the
return of the nickel schooner of

High Federal and State taxes
were blamed for inability to give
the nation what it most needs
next to the proverbial scent cigar.
Colonel Rupert said:

justify tax reduction in 1885 and

She turned slowly, looked at the big

she had only 10 minutes in which to

Charles Robson, Nancy's middle

he had become more and more i'm

It had been this neglect of her that

Today she had made up her mind

ever so many things that she didn't
