Congressional BOldnesS.

WARNING to pet lovers: If you
w own guinea pigs or tame rab-
bits or trained seals or such-like
gentle creatures, try to keep the
word from them that some of the
majority members of the lower
branch of congress actually threat
ened to defy their masters voice.
The senate always has been
known as the worlds greatest delib-
erative body-and, week by week
and month by month don't those
elder statesmen know how to delib-
crate! But these last few years the
house has earned the reputation Of
being the most docile legislative
outfit since Aesop's King Stork ruled
over the synod of the frogs.
So should the news ever spread
among the lesser creatures, hither-
to so placid and biddable, that an
example had been set at Washington,
there's no telling when the Bel
gian hares will start rampaging and
the singing mice will begin acting
up rough and the grubworms will
gang against the big old woodpeck-
er.

Professional Orators.

WE HAVE in Southern califor-
w MIA a professional orator who
long ago discovered that the most
dulcet music on earth was the sound
of his own voice. He'll speak any
where at the drop of the hat and
provide the hat.
What's worse, this coast-defender
of ours labors under the delusion
that, if he shouts at the top of his
voice, his eloquence will be all the
more forceful. The only way to
avoid meeting him at dinner is to
eat at an owl wagon. But the other
night, at an important banquet, he
strangely was missing from the ar
ray of speakers at the head table.
One guest turned in anazement to
his neighbor:
Where's Blank" he inquired,
naming the absentee.
Didn't you hear?" answered the
other. He busted couple of ear
drums"
"Whose?" said the first fellow.

Foes of NaZidOm.

THE veteran Rabbi Stephen Wise
l. of New York has been reason
ably outspoken in his views on Nazi
treatment of his own co-religionists
and the practitioners of other faiths
as well. And one of the most ven
cradle prelates CT the Catholic
church in Europe, while discussing
the same subject, hasn't exactly
pulled his punches, either.
So what? A friend just back from
abroad tells me that in Berlin he
heard a high government officer
fercely denounce these two distin-
guished men. About the mildest
thing the speaker said about them
was that both were senile. Some
how or other, the speech wasn't
printed in the German papers
maybe by orders from on high.
Well, far be it from this inno-
cent bystander to get into religious
arguments and besides l have no
first-hand knowledge as to the Chris
tan clergyman state Of health, al
though, judging by his utterances,
there's nothing particularly wrong
with his mind. But I do know Rab-
bi Wise, and, if he's in his dotage,
so is Shirley Temple. And I risk
the assertion that he would be per-
fectly willing to have one foot in the
grave if he could have the other
on Herr Hitler's neck.
