Crosswords Not Lottery
 By British Court Ruling

LONDON, May 21.--A crossword puzzle is not lottery, it has been ruled here in dismissing a charge brought against newspaper which offered S10,000 in prizes for solu- tions of set of lbrain-teasers.
 The prosecutor based his case on the fact that there were many words which offered alternatives, making it matter of extreme luck if anyone guessed them all right.
 The possible solution of the many alternative words involved a sum of geometrical proportions running into six figures.

MAYSVILLE, Okla, August IL
The common folk Of a countryside too
drab for adventurous Wiley Post left
their fields and came to Main street
tonight to talk over the times when
their hero Of the skies returned home
Just as one Of the boys at the corner
drug store.
Saturday is always a big day in
Maysville, just as 1t is in all isolated
farming community centers, but the
little groups around the bank and the
hardware. dry goods and drug stores
were solemn tonight. Maysville has
been a town Of long faces since the
news came of the Alaskan plane crash
which killed Post and Will Rogers, the
philosopher -humorist.

Berry, pointing to a corner of his
auto-dealer's office. land told me all

said. He'd just stand around the
streets or up against tree. grinning,
and talk like one Of the boys. He
never forgot his people That's why
we saw him after he got big. but being
big didn't change him"
Knowing that Posts gray-haired
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Post,
wished to be alone in their sorrow,
townspeople remained away from the
little 80-acre farm, two miles across
the Ashita River
The funeral will be held here, with
burial in Oklahoma City, but plans
were indefinite. The elder Post said:
"It would be nice to have it here, back
home, so all the people that knew
him could come"
From a rocker inside the house the
broken mother sent word that she
could not bear to live there another
day If Wiley were brought back home.
Then the father suggested that it
might be nicer" in Oklahoma City
and maybe it would be better to bury
him there, where his grave would al
ways be cared for"

Q Amt PETER was standing up there by the Gate
With lot of Old Timers, all there to await
} The haSty arrival, by fast-fyng freight
- OF boy we all knew as Will Rogers.
And Saint Peter stretched out his kindly old hand
AS he welcomed this lad to the long promised land,
To a seat at the top of the Golden Grandstand-
That boy we all knew as viii Rogers.
Say, WILL" the saint said before the big throng
why have you put off this visit so long,
While we've been awaiting your rollicking song
. You kinda signed up with the dodgers!
A-Scattering wisdom, philosophy mirth
It's time you came here where there's often dearth
Of wisecracks like those of Will Rogers"
Old Will, with that comcal nod of his head
Went chewing his gum, and his face bushng red,
Took a look at Saint Peter Just sideways, and said,
Here I am-to begin cuttin capers;
But this place is new one, Saint Peter, to me,
And I'll never get started until can
It's an old Rogers custom, as old as can be
What the boys have to say in the papers"
$50 that's what you want" old Saint Peter said then
And he sent for corps OF trained newspaper men;
But he couldn't find one who was working, at ten,
They were all out at night burning tapers.
So Will pulled a fast one and started press
OF his own, with actors and gag g-men who jes'
Gathered items OF news causing Will to express,
All I know s what read in the papers"
The first news he read was the way people love
A man who Is blessed by the heavens above
With gift of fair humor soft dove
When he dwells with the earth'S fellow dodgers;
He cracked his wit without hurting soul.
He bounced l.any quips in conVival bowl
And never once took heart-break as his toll
The man we all knew as Will Rogers.
