OTHER OPINION

I think a balanced Federal budget
with least possible delay is essential
to the preservation of the public
credit, and therefore essential to
national recovery itself. Courage
Gus economy without deserving
essential relief and courageous
taxation can do it. The people viii
accept the latter if the government
will practice the former.

For all the wispy, unborn poems
That hover close to earth;
Too beautiful for rhyme or words,
Too fanciful for birth.
I wish this little wish for them
That they remain q CLEAN;
A misty substance and light,
A rapture and a dream.

After they had been seated at a
table in the main dining room,
"Marse Henry" said to himself
Now here is this Will Rogers who
has gotten a good joke on practi-
cally every important person in the
country-I am going to watch him
carefully and see if I can get some
thing on him. If I am able to I
will publish it in my paper when l
get back to Louisville and will, per-
haps, shine in reflected glory"
Finally, "Marse Henry" thought
that he saw a good opening because
he noticed that Will Rogers was
eating oatmeal. After one swallow
had gone down, "Marse Henry"
cleared his throat in order to make
Will look up and said in very sar-
castle tone of voice:
"Mr. Rogers, I notice that you
people down here in Oklahoma eat
oats; now back in Kentucky, where
1 come from, we feed oats to our
horses"
Will Rogers sort of chewed that
over for a second, and then re-
piled:
well, sir, I expect that is the
reason Kentucky has the best horses
and Oklahoma the best men,"

HNE of these days I must run
~ up to see a farmer named Her
man in Freelandville, Ind. He's
Dutch and frugal. He bought a
wagon once, and as he was hitch
ing up the team he had walked to
town to get it began to rain. He
left the wagon and walked the team
home. Too much mud for a new
wagon.
Then he bought a car. Several
years later ne decided he would like
to trade 1t in. He produced the car.
It shone as it did the day it was
bought.

= So printers aren't grouchy old
guys? They don't badger you I'M
necessarily. and make your life
miserable with incessant queries on
addresses and names? And sone-
times they don't go off the deep
end to catch a fellow up?
Well, I just heard this about the
Union Printers Home, Colorado
Springs. A great number of aged
printers are gathered there
through with work and the grind OF
forever keeping editors straight.
But they aren't allowed to have
pencils in the library. Why? Be-
cause authorities have found that
when they do have pencils they
spend their time sitting around cor
recting the books of some of our
very best authors for punctuation
and style. All around are signs
reading PLEASE don't read proof
on books"
They say some of the penciled
corrections are pretty good, though!
VOU don't remember when the
l. Old Steam Mill was built. be-
cause it was back in 1881. But at
that time it created quite a to-do.
One historian of the time says:
"One hundred men worked two
days in raising its heavy frame, and
no LIQUOR was used, a fact which ex-
cited much comment at the time.
for serious doubts had been enter
tanned whether so large building
could be raised without the aid of
whisky"

AUTO FIRMS PUSH
USED CAR SALES.
Intensive Drive Continues
as Output Registers
Moderate Decline.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, January 30.-A moder-
ate decline in new-car productlon,
along with q renewed drive for the
clearing out Of used cars, has marked
developments in the motor car IN
dustry since the first Of the year.
Through newspaper. billboard and
radio advertising, the distribution divi-
sion has been able to move large
number Of older models, although this
admittedly has been accomplished to
q large degree at the expense OF new
car sales.
Many producers and distributors
agreed that January and possibly Feb
ruary would show a decline in new-
car distribution following the intro
duction Of the newer types in the late
Fall months. Much Of the January
and February absorption OF new
cars in previous years, of course, has
been due to the demands of dealers
for floor stocks.
The industry managed to get all
dealers we'll supplied with 1886 models
before the turn of the year and the
tapering off now being experienced
was expected. The industry, however,
is apparently agreed that the Fall
introduction of new models has de-
sirable advantages and has announced
plans to repeat the undertaking next
November.
Conceding that the accumulation of
used vehicles is causing considerable
discomfort to large as well as small
dealers, production heads point out
that the aggregate of these older We
hicles now In the hands of dealers
is little, if any. larger than it was in
the weeks shortly following the jan
uary introduction of 1885 cars.
;. Some intimation of the seriousness
Of the used-car situation at the mo-
snent is given in advertisements that
offer older models for as little as $25.
There are not many of this type. of
course. because the dealers generally
have been particular in their accept
ance of used vehicles. In most in
stances these units represent cars for
which considerably more was allowed
in the original transaction, but must
be cleared out because of storage ex-
pense.

 When asked about how the solo flight felt, Bettinger said it was swell but just before the ducking doubted if it was worth the plunge into the chilly waters of Gastineau Channel
 Chuck's size is such that the mem bers experienced difficulty in throw ing him in so he relieved them by diving, and in addition did several minutes swimming before clmb- ing onto the ramp again.
