That same day the New York Dali

the celebration:
The morning was ushered in by
the ringing of bells and discharge

Uncle Phil q
Says: AM
Better Improve the Other Foot

DeTIer improve me OTner root
Put your best foot forward, of
course, but that doesn't conceal
the defects in the other one; it's
got to come, too.
Meeting sudden emergencies
makes one hardboiled. Look at
war and after-dinner speaking.
"Travel is brOadening;;" it
makes one more resigned to the
nuisanceS at home.
Civilization may not be doomed,
but it may be doomed to a good
many dark ages in which brains
are flouted.
Is Your Help Wanted7
Some people get sore if you try
to tighten their burdens-unless
they ask you to.
One of the greatest of mistakes
is to stop man on the street to
point out an error he has made.
A man may pull down his char
acter in an effort to build up his
reputation.
People dress handsomely to
please themselves more than to
impress others.

Privileges of NazidOm.

THE German commoner may b,
l. shy on the food rations and have
some awkward moments unless he
conforms to the new Nazi religion.
But he enjoys complete freedom of
the press-or rather, complete free
dom from the press. And lately an
other precious privilege has been
accorded him.
He may fight duels. Heretofore,
this inestimable boon was exclusive
ly reserved for the highborn. But
now he may 60 forth and carve and
be carved until the field OF honor
looks like somebody had been clean
ing fish.
This increase in his blessings
makes me recall tale that Charley
Russell, the cowboy artist, used to
tell:
1.-The boys were fixing to hang
horse thief" Charley said. He only
weighed about ninety pounds, but
for his heft he was the champion
horse thief of Montana. The rope
was swung from the roof Of barn.
Then they balanced long board
out of the loft window, and the con-
demned was out at the far end Of it,
ready for the drop, when stranger
busted in.
Everybody thought he craved to
pray, but that unknown hunanita-
rian had a better notion than that.
In less'n minute he came inching
out on that plank and there wasn't
a dry eye in the crowd as he edged
up behind the poor trembling wretch
and slipped an anvil in the seat Of
his pants

Safeguarding

valuable service is safeguarding
our medicine cabinets. Advertis-

Friendly French Visitors.


IT SEEMS we were cruelty wrong
in ascribing mercenary motives
to those French fnanciers who've
been dropping in on us lately. They
came only to establish more cordial
relations. OF course, there's new
French bond issue to be floated. but
these visits were purely friendly
and altruistic.
Still and all, / can't help thinking
ofMr. Pincus. who invaded the east
side to invite his old neighbor. Mr..
Ginsburg, whom he hadn't seen in
years. to be a guest at Mrs. Pincus'
birthday party.
He gave full directions for travel
ing uptown, then added:

with mementoes of the days of '76.
About it hovers the best tradi-
tions of American patriotism. Other
walls have rung with patriotic dec
laration, with impassioned oratory
and bold defiance, but nowhere has
loyalty to country and earnest de-
votion to the cause of liberty found
such deathless expression as was
voiced in that Declaration of Inde-
pendence announced by the ancient
Liberty bell in the cupola overhead
on that memorable Fourth Of July
so many years ago.
Doubtless more loving care has
been lavished upon this old building
than upon any other in America. It
stands today virtually as it was in
'76.
Here the Declaration of Independ-
ence was adopted on July 4, 1776.

What's more, every one Of these

early Carillos were pure Spanish,
but / insist there must have been a
strong strain of Belgian hare in the
stock. When it came to progeny,
the strain was to the Pacific coast
what the Potomac shad has been

than a fanily-it's a species.
And a mighty noble breed it is

still ruled and a naturally kindly
people had time to be mannerly and
the instinct to be both simple and

CONGRESS- FIRST SITTING

THERE were two reasons why
L the Constitution trainers pro-
vided for such a long lapse Of
time between election of a con-
gress and its first sitting. The
chief reason was that the franz
ers believed it unwise to have
Legislators take Office soon after
election because of the danger Of
hasty action. 1t was felt that
time should be allowed for the
heat of the contest to cool. The
secondary reason was that con-
siderable time was required for
members to travel from distant
parts.
