MOST newspapers are extremely shy
Az about printing the names Of peo-
pie who work for other journals, un-
less the item happens to be cheerfully
uncomplimentary Overcoming this
bashfulness. We do not hesitate to tell
you story about Dudley Harmon, a
fair young lady who writes for the
Post, our rival on only one day week
AS you know, flying in large trans
port plane on a quiet day, one does not
have the sensations Of motion that ac-
company train and motor travel
There are no whizzing telephone poles,
no screeching brakes to supply the
sense OF speed and adventure. You
merely fy, and probably go to sleep.
Miss Harmon was up in a big pas
senger plane not long ago and chanced
to gaze out the window. Below she
saw smaller airShip, in which some
men were busy taking pictures Of her
craft. She watched the little mono
plane for moment as her conveyance
passed over and beyond it, then said
reflectively, mostly to herself: Re
markable. isn't it? never knew air
planes could fly backward that way!"
BAIT.
ATEST, most refined form Of tor
ture invented by a democratic
Government Is reported by an inform

fairs at sea Cor are they?) He says
that among those who receive quite

BONER.
A FTER attending her first diplomatic
function Of a lifetime last week,
q young lady Of our acquaintance is
wondering whether she should give up
champagne, diplomats, or both.
Thing that impressed her most at
this reception was the elegant array
of uniforms, or the array of elegant
uniforms, maybe. Seeing one peacock
ish gentleman after another stalk by.
she quaffed liquids from the flowing
bowl, thought how wonderful it all
was
When she could contain her reflec-
tlons no longer, she started a con-
versation with an especially glorious
young man, asking him where in heck
did he get all the gilt trimmings. Eel
low explained that the gorgeous raj
ment had been purchased for a spe-
cial occasion-his wedding-l5 years
ago. The noise of small talk was great
during this revelation, but they chatted
on while afterward, more or less
hearing what they said to each other,
AS she was departing, however, our
lady turned to the diplomat and said.
And hope the suit will last you Is
years more"
Fifteen years." he said, vaguely.
"Oh, yes. of course"
She was almost out the door when
he realized what went on. He dashed
over, Listen" he said Il think YOU
misunderstood. It is the boss who has
the 15-year-old suit. I am a secretary
and was in grammar school Is wears
ago. This suit I bought last week
Just for this party"
