~ days--because it is of interest
to Indianapolis - and the subject
will be sawed off. It concerns Mer-
edith Nicholson, down in Caracas,
Venezuela.
1t seems that the Latin American
meat and game situation is not
everything it should be for festive
occasions Meredith didn't say so,
but another Hoosier who has been
in South America reports that get
ting used to a tropical diet is half
the battle of living for Northerners
there. Well, Meredith. his wife and
guests observed the holidays in true
American style by sending to New
York for a brace of turkeys and
barrel of oysters. While that spirit
prevails who can imagine that the
United States ever will be con-
quered?

u EGINALD Sullivan's committee
IN on the Presidents Birthday
ball in Indianapolis is a collection
of energetic men and women. Look
ing in on the first meeting the
other day I listened with deep in
terest to speeches and motions in
favor of giving the 70 per cent of
the proceeds, which may be retain
ed locally, to further the work of
the therapeutic pool at Riley Hos
pital.
DR.. Carleton B. McCulloch ex-
planned that the hospital can af-
ford only one therapist; that she
is overworked and that two assist
ants are needed so that the crippled
children can be supervised and
given the necessary manipulation
in the water.
Last year the profits were only
about $1,000 on the six balls held
here. hope readers of this column
will interest themselves and their
friends in running up higher
profit on Jan. 80 so that the chill
dren at Riley will get much more
Of the care they need.
THE articles on the New Deal in
L Brown County now appearing
in the Saturday Evening Post are
not friendly to the Administration
but they give that famous Indiana
playground some free national adj
vertising that probably will increase
the number Of visitors when touring
time comes again.

l. Republican presidential nomin-
alton prospects and runs photo
graphs of the men with a chance.
Among the pictures is that of Ber-

I recall solemnly escorting
young lady to Detroit for dinner
and an evening at the theater and
ordering artichoke, which I had
never seen, to impress her with my
worldliness. Neither one of us knew
how to eat it when it arrived and
neither would break down and adj
NIT it. I also ordered some foreign
cheese, quizzing the waiter as to it's
freshness. He assured me it was
fresh. Years later, in a book, I read
that that cheese was not edible I'M
til it was two or three years old.
Talk about your man-about- town!

THE Pleas Greenlee Incl de n t
\ must have reminded many of
what somebody said about the es-
sential difference between RepubK-
cans and Democrats. The latter
wash their linen right out in public
while the Republicans prefer pri-
vacy. The Democrats have their
fights on the convention floor. The
Republicans like to transact their
business in hotel rooms.
