Hello Everybody:
Did Santa Claus bring you the
present, the you" that you were
looking for? I'll guarantee if he
did you haven't been down to ex-
change 1T yet. And now come the
New Years resolutions that we all
so bravely make and never keep.
And one Minneapolis bachelor
couldn't quite keep his last years
resolutions until the end of the
year for we hear he was out Christ
mas Eve painting the town red at
one of our popular taverns. whats
he doing, slipping?) Tut! Tut!
What Minneapolis gal who lost
her engagement ring this summer
was presented with another one
(frOm the same boy, of cOurse) for
Christmas? -. LOUIS CASON of
Fisk University seems to be kinda
interested in what party on Gin
ton Avenue? Whom did you say
JIMMIE GRIFFIN is interested
in? Really? Since when? (By the
way, met Jimmie's mother, LO-
RENA HARRIS, and husband from
Kalamazoo, Mich, the other eve
ming. Glad to see them looking so
well.) .. What st. Paul gal, dur
ing this gay festive season, is torn
between two loves? Cher present
love and the Out-Of-tOwn student
IOve.) ANDY NEAL is back
in town now. l know whose heart
is fluttering. The Three Iowa
Musketeers are back in st. Paul,
too, causing some more hearts to
fiutter. Their motto is one for all
and all for one. Don't get me
wrong. / don't mean all for one
gal, thought -. BYRON DOTY
is looking well these days. We
bet DOty could play the piano in
his sleep he's SO good. What
popular Minneapolis gal is quite
lonely these days? You know
why? Her current sweety pie has
gone home for the holidays.
(Maybe love amt so grand after
all. You can't prove it by me.) -.
For different gals who believe in
the ball and chain theory, Chat
means claiming your b. f. when
you take him to a dance), we'd
suggest any of the downtown de-
partment stores. We hear all the
big stores have a bargain on hand,
during the holidays, only $3.50, the
whole outfit complete. Guaranteed
to last one whole year, Sal
wants to thank some of her readers
for the lovely Christmas cards
they sent her. Thanks loads. She
really appreciated them. We
hear quite a few Twin Citians are
going to attend the Credjafawn's
New Year Eve dance at the st.
Paul auditorium.
Have you heard the rumOr that
one of Minneapolis most prominent
business men is planning to take
a trip to the altar in the spring?

Leaves Of the Passion Flower

The three leaves that grow in q
cluster in the passion flower repre-
sent the Father, Son and Holy
Ghost. The tendrils are the thongs
with which Christ was bound. The
various parts of the flower-sta-

resent the crown of thorns, the three
nail prints, the five wounds, the
three spears, the two clubs and

BaSques Solved Caste Question
The Basques are one of the oldest
peoples in Europe and have lived in
their mountain home in northern
Spain and southwestern France
from pre-Aryan times, and their
language, peculiar to itself, is said
to be older than any Aryan tongues.
They early solved the question Of
caste by declaring every Basque a
noble, and, although they acknowl-
edged the king of Spain as their
ruler, they regarded him only as
an equal. Before they would &C.
knowledge him it was necessary for
him to come into their country and
swear under their sacred oak tree
to abide by their ancient rights, or
'fueros." Even then they gave him
no title. Their king might be the
Holy Roman Emperor, but to them
he was just plain "senor."

S. r. T.: There is a former
sweetheart that l am about to
make a confession to and / want
to have your advice before l carry
out these plans?
Ans: Don't do it you owe
him no confession. Don't you re-
alize the more a party knows about
you the less they appear to be in
terested. Keep yourself mystery
to them and they will want to go
with you, but when they can read
you like a book, there is no attrac-
ton.

My Newspaper
Page Five

Il find her weekly at my doors,
This Haunting, haunting hussy-
welcome guest in idle hours,
A bore when one is fussy.
She prizes and peers, she sobs and sneers,
She has an ear for tattle
She pirates of petty offerings
Or tells tall tales of battle
"You court her favors and she sulks
You flee her and she follows,
Her faith is weak when truth you speak,
The lies she always swallows.
Il sometimes try to put her by,
But yet Il must confess it,
grumble with, pine without
My newspaper. God bless i'll"

love me and will he kill me if l
should leave him?
Ans: Yes he loves you and
you know it, too. He will make
things mighty ''hot" for you if you
move out on him. When you de-
eide on making this change it will
be necessary for you to get entirely
out of his sight for he can be pretty
tough when he wants to be.

better selection when you do de-
eide to marry.

Wifeto Blame
For Gehriig' S
HoId0ut
BY DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, March 9-Cherchez
Ia femmel Find the woman, say
the philosophers when confronted
with trouble and-voila
Col. Jacob Rupert, who wouldn't
know a philosopher from a fra
ternity grip, thinks he has found
her. Anyhow, understand today
that the belief of the New York
organization is that the trouble
with Lou Gehrig is Mrs. Lou Geh-
rig. She's doing the holding out,
they say, for $4,000 a year and
as a first baseman, she isn't
worth it.
The colonel made none of these
statements personally today. He
did Sputter a bit and foam and
froth, not unlike one Of his own
beer taps that have been opened
too quickly when the pressure is
high. But when you combed the
head off it, this was what was
left:
He came in here and said
ne wanted $4,000. 1 said he
couldn't have it. He told me this
was his final word, then turned
on his heel and walked out,
Well, at $50, 900, he can stay out
for all of me. my, my Colonel.
The top blew off that one all
down your vest).
And I'd like to add that I'd
like to work for $35, 900 myself"
The colonel didn't say who
would pay him the $4,000, but
that's the cross he has to bear.
The poor fellows so rich, he has
to pay himself.
incidentally, the colonel tipped
his hole card with that inadverent
blat about $4,000, the inference
being that this is either the offer
Gehrig walked out on or the one
the colonel'S prepared to make,
provided he can find his first base.
man. OF course, the colone's
been saying all along that he
didn't want Gehrig or Di Maggie
or Ruffing in the training camp,
if unsigned, which was a little un.
fortunate, because about all he has
right now is the training camp.
Moreover, by a show of initia.
tive, was able to obtain an ex-
{ elusive statement from Gehrig: in
fact, two. They are as follows:
"What is your next mOve?"

I said it was.
"Then," said he, II will say
nothing"
"And off the record, Mr..
Gehrig?" brightly.
He muttered something to the
effect that then he would do moth.

The way things have been going

to think we've all been left out in

Williams Draws
With Nader

Charles Hobo" Williams, Alex
andria middleweight, and the high
ly favored Eddie Nader fought an
eight-round draw last night in
Turner's Arena.
Referee Denny Hughes and
Judge Bob Eller voted for a draw,
and Judge o. U. Singer voted for
Williams. Many at the ringside
felt that the Alexandrian should
have been given the verdict over
the much-touted Nader.
Williams, obviously the heavier
puncher Of the two, was effective
when he carried the fight to his
adversary, but looked none too
good when ne permitted Nader to
force the issue.
The fight-a regular cut-throat
affair-witneSsed the elimination
of practically all ring rules, with
the two fighters using plenty Of
foul tactics.
In other bouts, Clarence Sloat,
Baltimore, knocked out Charley

Baltimore; OSsie Stewart, Pitts.

pearance here last year. Lewis
took q runout and was suspended
by the National Boxing ASSocia-
tion for not carrying out his agree
ment with Mcdonald.
AS matters now stand, Lewis will
be placed back in good standing as
soon as Edward B. Foster, execu-
tive secretary of the N. B. A.,
sees a copy Of a cable from Eng
land which will be accepted as an
evidence of good faith on the part
Of Lewis in not going through with
his agreement to appear here last

Under the agreement reached at
