COMPROMISE
INTRODUCED
BY HARRISON

Continued from PAGE >
committee from further conSidera-
ton OF his bill to pay the bonus with
$2.2O0000. 900 in new currency.
Rep. Hamilton Fish, Jr., R.. N. Y.
opposed the motion because il
meant deferring for two weeks any
floor action on the Patman proposal.
He forced a roll call vote on the mo-
ton to recall. but the motion was
carried. 229 to 100.
Patman explained delay in house
consideration of his measure would
give two weeks in which to watch
developments" on the bonus situa-
ton. He said he would place his
measure on the calendar for later
consideration. Patman supported
the united front bill. passed by the
house 356 to SO, which provided no
means of bonus payment. He reserv-
ed the right to press his inflationary
proposal later, but did not desire the
test to come Immediately.
Move Blocked
With the bill taken out of the
committees hands, Fish attempted
again to call up the measure for
immediate consideration, but was
blocked when Speaker Joseph w.
Byrns ruled only a signer of the
Patman petition could call the bill
mp. Fish was not one of the 218
signers of the Patman petition.
The provision allowing cashing of
the bonds in whole or in part was
devised to ease the drain on the
treasury. Sponsors believed cashIng
OF the bonds would be spread out
over period Of years, thereby al
lowing the treasury to absorb the
financially gradually and without
need for new currency.
A spokesman for the American
Legion said all the veterans organ
izations would support the Harrison
bill.

Despite opinions that a reprieve
would be illegal, Gov. Hoffman
indicated that he may order one.

The model cuts quickly and easily,

armholes to discourage amateur
dressmakers, as the sleeves and
shoulder line belong to "one family"
and a slim waistline is assured the
minute you insert the back darts.

Man-Made Mesas

A FTER Paul Bunyan finished his
L A work logging off the Pacific
Northwest he decided he'd become
an oil-driller. First thing he did
was to go down into New Mexico
and begin drilling well on top
of a mountain which was made up
Of alternate layers of thin rock and
dry sand.
One night a windstorm came up.
And how she did blow! The next
morning when Paul woke up he
looked out of the window of his
shack and such a sight as met his
eyes! There was his hole, standing
straight up in the air as high as he
could see. The wind had blown all
the sandy layers away from it but
the layers of rock were hanging
around it like washers pushed
around drill stem.
Paul was pretty mad about it but
he didn't waste any time standing
around cuSsing. He just took a
sledge and climbed up to the top. He
began pounding the hole down into
the ground again. AS he did so the
layers of rock began to come to-
gether and made a mesa.
That sort of thing happened time
after time and that's why New Mex
leo is so full of mesas. They're per-
petual monuments to Paul Bunyan's
unsuccessful oil-drilling operations
there.

AS Told to:
Blondy by a Tongue!

DlOl1dJ Ny q O4ASu uC.
,VXIAY back in 1S92-said the
w old turfman-I owned a
beautiful racing mare whose name
was Blondy because of her color.
My other possession was a farm
but it had a plaster" of $4,000.
Bad luck cut between me and the
purses although Niger Jim, my
trainer, would get her cream-colored
body in the pink before every race.
We taught Blondy lot of tricks,
between losing races. One was to
make a face. Niger Jim or I
would hold an apple or carrot so
she had to stretch her neck and
put out her tongue for it. And she
got so she would do this whenever
we told her "make a face"
We entered the mare in a claim
ing race at Churchill Downs the
spring of '92. 1t was May Is, to be
exact. The mortgage on the farm
was due May 16. Niger Jim had
Blondy in great form for the 11s
mile race. But the bookies were
laying 20 to 1 against our nag. 1
scared up a thousand berries and
placed the whole roll at 20 to 1. 1t
was win the race or lose the farm.
The horses were away evenly but
100 yards from the start Blondy
stumbled and lost stride. Then she
winged away, regaining lost ground
at every jump. Then a horse cut
in front Of her. 1t was Dixie Dude,
and she had to be pulled.
Down the back stretch and around
the turn they came. Blondy was
moving up on the outside. When
they hit the stretch she and Dixie
Dude were running head and head.
1t looked like a certain dead heat
but at the last jump or two Niger
Jim, hanging on the rail, yelled
"Make face, Yo' Blondy! Make
facet" Thank God! Blondy heard,
Strengthened her neck, shot out her
tongue across the finish line and
won the race.

The Squalling Squonk

COME cold, winter night, as you
~ sit before a roaring fire in
hunting lodge or in the bunkhouse
of a lumber camp in the North
Woods you're certain to hear out
side a long -drawn-out moaning. You
might think it's the wind in the
bare branches of the trees, but it's
a squonk, mourning because it has
a warty, ill-ftting skin.
That's all a squOnk ever does
just goes wandering among the
hemlock trees, weeping and sobbing
bitterly because it's skin doesn't fit.
When the thermometer is down to
nine degrees above zero, you can
follow it by the little glObules of
ice it leaves behind-the squonk's
trail of frozen tears.
Because it is such a shy, noctur-
nal animal few men have ever seen
a squonk. But once a lumberjack,
by initiating its cries, lured one into
his cabin. When he shut the little
beast up in a wicker basket, it be-
gan to sob and moan.
This went on for hours, then died
down. The lumberjack peeked into
the basket to see if the squonk had
cried itself to sleep. But all he
found was salt water and a few
bubbles. The SquOnk had dissolved
itself in its own tears. Il mighta
known better" said the lumberjack,
as he added one of his own tears to
the collection, than to have shut
him up in a basket made from
branches of a weeping willow tree"
