1t Amt Hot Here
Now and then, on the leased
wire, the United Press lads in Los
Angeles and Phoenix hit a dull
spot-and the result is long dis
tance gossip back and forth. A bit
of it came through Ell Centre Mon

where climate is concerned.
Said Los Angeles to Phoenix
Hows' the old mercury acting over
there?
Said Phoenix: Oh, it's bubbling
around 11O. Not SO bad. just can't
breathe.
Los Angeles: You have my SYM
pathy. I'd melt down to a mere
180 or SO.
Phoenix: l weigh 1890 you
can see what it's doing to me.
Los Angeles: Take care, or a good
strong wind will come along and
we'll be looking for you out in the
desert against some cactus bush.
Phoenix; I hope it's seaward
wind.
Los Angeles: That would help.
Then we could send a navy patrol
bomber to pull you down.
Phoenix: But l don't wanna go
down, pal. Haws about a navy
patrol to pull me outa this heat?

Speaking of Weather
Mrs Bob Simpson, wife of the

to sue Somebody-but the trouble is
he hasn't decided yet who to sue
he's from Hollywood, which seemed
- excuse enough to put him on q
horse at Imperial t'other day. II

whether to sue Hollywood for mis-
representing horses, or to sue his
