a cakewalk for the Giants, while,
as they stand now, they should still
be able to squeeze home in very,

THE
GHOST COLUMN

An interesting bit of information
came to us last week concerning
the eternal triangle. It . possible
that in going around you might
have heard about it. In the case
that you haven't, it concerns none
other than a certain 18th Avenue
business man with distinct eau
casian proclivities and pianist
with decided Ethiopic traits who
have evidently turned the tables
on the Grant husband of said pi-
anist. We are rejoicing, however.
in that the old musket did not
come into play as was reported in
another triangular mix-up.
About triangles, well AL Hall
seems to be in his usual tough
spot AL, why not fool everyone
and marry? And then stop all of
this 'dilly-dallying.
Just what has happened to sll
of those mushroom clubs? The
Young Voters Club, the Sterling
Club, that pulled such a complete
flop a few months ago, We Mod
ems Club, the Lancelots Club, the
Comrades Club and others. To
top everything a group of waitress
ses evidently couldn't think of an
other name so they decided on the
name already used by another
group.
Then there's the bridegroom
who seemed to be somewhat in
furiated over the mention of his
name in the column well, all we
can say is that he had better hold
his tongue because if we hear of
another peep out of him, Wen
really write something to make
his blood boil.
Cecil and Ellen are seen romano
ing--don't let your heart go wrong
again, Cecil.
A certain popular dentist and
his new love seem to be trying to
make the best of a bad situation.
They used to say that one could
MT have ones cake and eat it too,
well, in this case it seems as if
the said doctor has his cake and
had better eat it, or else.
Where is Vernice Miller Carter's
husband, or was there ever such
an animal?
Now that the Night Clubs are
closed, entertainers and other help
have lost mich of their glanor,
and are rather pathetic figures
when seen strolling up and down
Jackson Street these cold snowy
days.
When the Walter Jones of 9th
Avenue give party, they really

of the party. Yeh! Man! The
party lasted until wee hours of the
morning.

But if you have any appre-
tensions that this is really q
secret filibuster against the
Presidents reorganization bill
(Which is the only other pending
business, such suspicious should
be relieved by the following
somewhat amazing explanation
of what happened on the inside
to bring about the peculiar situa,
ton:
1t seems Leader Barkley made
a secret poll on the reorganiza-
ton bill and found he actually
did not have enough votes to
bring it up in preference to the
anti-lynching bill.
He will never admit it and
may deny 1t because it was a
bitter blow to the Presidents
reorganization plan. Wisely he
decided not to let the White
House take a defeat at the out
set of the session. He dropped
the reorganization bill and pur-
posely let the anti-lynching fill
buster fun develop.
Thus, while he and the other
White House leaders are still
smiling, they are only trying to
cover up their predicament.

THE dental situation Of the

dent is developing aspects of a
major political move.
When the v. P. Mr.. Garner

day that Mr.. r. had one yanked
out, political observers were
Stumped. 1t could not be that
Garner was trying to out-do the
President. Perhaps it was just
another example Of perfect in
side timing. The only thing
sure, was that Congress was
not responsible, because the pain
was in their teeth.
The real inside story of it is
now being related in the Con.

an authority than Senator Min
ton, good friend of Garner. Ac-
cording to him, the v. P. per-
Sonality let it out through his
swollen jaw tthe one that has
been locked since spring. in per-
Sonal conversation. Minton

Note-It may be necessary to
tell those who came in late at

that Mr.. Garner is not always
serious, even with a swollen jaw.
