Cornell?"
Mention of Red Grange, whose
exploits on the gridiron thrilled the
nation decade ago, reminded -Four
Eyes O'Goofty that somebody had
recently seen Lincoin's ghost in the
White House.
Guess he was getting ready to
take walk with Al Smith, eh?"
laughed Pete the Waiter as he but
toned new foamy collar on all
the glasses.
They Back AL
A number of members of the
Foul Ball Social Club are from the
lower East Side and they think Al
Smith is an all right gee on any
kind of track. They have no pa
tience with those who charge AL
has got his noodle measured for the
high topper.
People are saying AL has moved
up town because he don't say
rad-dio no more. That's a joke.
He's just improved his speech. Is
there any law against that? The
radios improved too, amt it?"
This latter contention did not
strengthen the position of the pro-
Smithians because it seemed to be
the sense Of the majority that if
radio improvement was to be
measured by amateur hours, jug
blowers and hog callers there could
be little to boast about.
In this connection Nosey McNibbs
recalled that the housewives of
Baltimore had put the blast on Gov
Talmadge, the wild man of Sugar
Creek, because he used what they
thought was abusive language on
the air.
Tune In at Your Own Risk
And I think 1 know how those
danes feel" went on Nosey. Il
tuned in on Talmadge myself,
thinking I might get a laugh any
way, but all 1 got was very con-
spicuous pain in the neck. Tai
madge wasn't as abusive as he was
Furnishing. They have danger sig
mails at grade crossings and quar-
antine laws against contagious
disease but in these political erup-
tons you turn the dial at your own
risk, and if you get nothing but
static you are lucky. From now on
I'm going to take vanilla"
The news that President RooSe-
welt had become camera shy and
would permit only posed pictures to
be taken of him in the future moved
the boys to scattered comment. so
this means they can't take no more
action pictures of him, eh?" said
Pete the Waiter who was back with
more neck pieces for the glasses.
Well that leaves him wide open
for a swiftly from those Liberty
Leaguers. Like this; 'Whaddayou-
mean. No more action pictures! Say,
the Supreme Court took all the ac-
ton out of him a month ago. Pete
laughed. He is an excellent audi
ence.
Why He Went Hepburn
The President didn't go Hepburn
on the camera men without cause.
One of them snapped an informal
picture with his glasses off and his
left hand pressed against his eyes.
1t suggested an attitude of detection,
whereas it was merely a character
istic pose of a gentleman massaging
the upper part of his face. Some of
the newspaper captions over the pic
ture suggested in effect he was about
to retire from the heavyweight
tournament before the first blow
was struck.
Well if he's going to pose for his
pictures in the future" grumbled
Dead Heat Dave, II wish he'd fetch
that mysterious gaffer named pros
perity from around that corner and
pose with him. I just blowed an
other flve-horse parlay and even if
everything was ali right with the
country I'd still say. give it back to
the Indians" 1t should be stated
Dead Heat Dave never had much
