4. That pretty girl he is with
is stuck on the coach of his
alma nanny. All she knows
about football is, the coach is
good-looking.
5. They charge him one dol
lar to park a mile away from the
Stadium. He could park by q
fire plug for two.
6. If he stands up to cheer an
exciting play everybody hollers
for him to fold up. When he
sits down they all jump up.
7. He is always getting in an
argument with a big mug who
weighs $50 gentle pounds and
who is drinking sweet spirits of
turpentine out of q thermoS
bottle. The big mug finally pins
the All-American spectator down
with, What did you do for your
Alma Marc-ly?" The A. A. Spec
finally admits he was in the col
leg band. When the band
spelled out Orsinux the A. A. S.
was the dot over the ST."
8. He has learned through
the years to cheer Orsinux in
the huddle because they never
do a thing when they come out
of it.
9. They charge him Is cents
for a souvenir program, Is for
a hot dog and sell him a red
feather for a half-dollar. He's
got to buy everything because
the man stands in front of him
and won't let him see the game.
The minute he buys, the man
goes away. And comes back
with something else.
10. At the end of the season
he is invited to the varsity
smoker where the star athletes
are each awarded a big, fat o.
II. He finally gets a break.
The good-looking coach has been
married all the time. And does
the All-American Spec marry
the pretty girl he takes out to
the footballgame? He does
not. He has been married him
self longer than the cookbook
ing coach. His wife nails him
down like a window in a hen
house. And the next game he
not only has a miserable time
but his old lady is there to help
him enjoy it.

THE Spanish war has not been
i noted for any Alphonse-G Gas
ton gestures before air raids. In
the orient, however, the number
of "a and 48-hour warnings given
by the Japanese before bomb
inss, would make a right fair
sized pamphlet. These at times
have annoyed, among other for
eigners in China, the British, to
the extent Of causing sharp
notes Of protest from London to
Tokyo.
If the Northwest frontier ma

Joy of NesO York

THIS is what Mr.. Cochran Is
i trying to bring to Wash
lngton and I hope everyone will
get strongly behind him and
help him in his enterprise.
When you stop to consider
that our great capital has only
one professional theater in it
for legitimate plays, even dur.
ing the winter, it is really an
appalling condition.
That is one Of the greatest
joys about New York to me.
You can slip off night after
night and see a new and won
derfully acted play without even
troubling to. dress up for it,
but here in Washington it is
only once q week and to me
this is really a pathetic shame.

World Of Make-RelieUe

TT Is remarkable how any
L play, concert or book that
Is truly and beautifully done
can make people forget their
daily numdrum lives, the great
tragedies we all have to live
through, and take them com.
pletely into another world.
Don't talk to me about dying.
We don't have to stop breath
ing to do this. Each and every
one Of us dies q thousand deaths
right on this earth and, like our
bodies, we re-make ourselves
every seven years.
We keep passing on from one
experience to another. II we
could only learn how to accept
and to use our many expert
enceS, how much better off We
would be. The tragedy Of the
human race Is that so many,
many Of US repeat our mistakes
over and over. At least I know
I do, but I suppose that is Just
because I am plain dumb and
nothing ever will teach me:
It is men like Steve Cochran
and leaders Of the great orches-
traS and the great authors who,
through their untiring work
and devotion to their art, give
every one of MS 4 world into
which we can escape, and when
the curtain Is lowered or the
concert is finished we go back
to- our own problems and trou-
bleS with infinitely more cour-
age and hope to carry on.

tomac were going to be held
again this year. Now, while ]
cannot understand this music,
there'i Is q great deal Of til truly
love, and good music never has
hurt ANYBODY. In fact, 1t has
been great consolation and in
spiration to many, many thou
sands Of people.
I will never forget one Of the
nights I went down to the Ma
tional symphony concert at the
Water Gate and sat there lis
tening to the beautiful melodies
drifting In from the water and
watching the people around me.
They interested me even more
than the music.
When the concert started
their faces were worried, they
fidgeted, and many around me
seemed sad and depressed. But
as one piece Of music followed
another they slowly relaxed,
their faces sEnoethed out, the
little children went to sleep
peacefully in their mothers
arms, and you could see what
peace and contentment were
being brought to these people
as they gazed out over the
beautiful moonlit water and
heard the soft strains Of the
orchestra rising and swelling
around them. It was really Q
heart-touching sight.
Here were hundreds of people
sitting in absolute silence on
this hot summer night and get
ting the rest and peace which
they so richly deserved. r.:
