American millionaire, who went

to whom her uncle, Pope Leo

her marriage and changed his
name to Pecci-Blunt and became

Have Police Dogs

Another household which is
accustomed to the presence OF
several dogs is that of Senator
and Mrs. Key Pittman. Some
few years ago they had five fine
police dogs. Now they have two,
Black Shadow and Gray Wolf,
who stay at "Ridgelands" during
their masters and mistress alb
8ence.
Mrs. William Nuckles Doak,
widow of the former Secretary
of Labor, has Margie and Billy,
her Snowwhite collies, for COM
pany at "Notre Mid" Sometimes
there are as many as five or six
collie puppies running around
and the tender-hearted Emily
can't make up her mind which
one she loves the most, but one
thing she always does is to see
that whoever she gives them to
loves them as much as she does.
Another "two-dog" household
Is that of former Senator and
Mrs. Harry B. Hawes, where the
Kerry Blue is called Roughly"
and the wire-haired terrier an
swers to the name of "Pooch."
Roughly is an imp. He snug
giles a bone or ball in the big
dusty mop Of hair which covers
his mouth out of the house and
then drops it hopefully at his
mistress feet, sure she will
throw it far for him to chase.

But to go back to the Supply
Corps invitations, they began
with the number Z and the
phrase alongside, "All hands"
and then showed a sketch of q
very sleepy person being awak-
ened. The next sketch was a
man holding three cards on
which was printed, "Rheuma-
tism, Bad Cold, Bum Leg" and
alongside that, was the phrase,
Polish All Alibis."
The rest of the invitation was
just as clever but a bit too long
for this space. Capt. Cecil c.
Baker, was master of ceremo-
nieS and because he Is witty
and extremely good at extern
poraneous stuff, delighted every
body at this dinner. There were
three admirals as honoreds
guests, Adm. Charles C. Conard.
Paymaster General Of the Navy;
Rear Adm. C. j. Peoples and
Adm. ]. j. Cheatham and when
the Skits began after dinner,
the first thing that was pre-
Sented to these three admirals
were individual gas masks.
Capt. Smith HempStOne did
a grand job as an amateur actor
and put on the most amusing
skit, to do with typical Navy
examining board. AS far as the
possession of the priced trophy
for the golf match went. the
entire thing ended in a tie be-
tween Comdr. E. D. Foster,
Lieut.. j. K. Chisholm and Lieut..

gentlemen intend, and very soon.

put in a hurried call to the fam

come to her house at once.

a certain prominent official in

official during the war, was a
captain and was ordered to
move 5000 soldiers from one
area in France to another and
ordered to move them at once.
When the troops arrived, plus
the captain, guards Of the area
informed him that the soldiers
could not enter there. After
much whoop to do, the captain
having accomplished nothing,
decided to take a side car into

Don't Let Enthusiasm Die
The secret of success of our

down before they are ready to
act to remedy a situation that is

your definition of the word 'toler-
ated.'
Yesterday at Virgins, Mississ-
ippi, the seventh lynching since
Congress adjourned last June,
during which session a six-week
filibuster costing the American
taxpayer $460,0O0 prevented an
overwhelming majority of the Sen
ate from voting for federal anti
lynching legislation, took place.
Not one member of any of the
seven mobs has even been arrested
much less punished Since 1882,
5,120 lynchings have disgraced A
merica. According to such unim-
peachable sources as Professor ].
H. Chadbourn of the University of
North Carolina, and DR.. Arthur
Raper of the Commission on In
terracial Cooperation at Atlanta,
Georgia, convictions of lynchers
have occurred in less than eight
tenths of one per cent. Ninety
nine and two-tenths per cent of
the lynchers have gone scot free
though tens of thousands of per-
sons have staged these lynchings
and their identity was known to
the officials and to the general
public in a vast majority of cases.
If this is not liberation of lynch
ing, l frankly do not know what
is.
More in sadness than in wrath
do we write you. 1t is dishearten-
ing when great leader of a great
church can be guilty of attempt
ing to cast out the Nazi mote in
eyes across the sea and ignore
beams in American eyes. Partic-
ularly is this to be deplored when
your statement is contrasted with
that of the Woman's Missionary
Council of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, which for four years
has unanimously voted for a reso-
luton urging passage of a federal
law to end the crime of lynching.

The Olympic Peninsula
BY j. R. Thomnson

BY j. Is. thompson
Nature made the Olympics steep
and tall
With pines and frs to cover
them all,
Made the snow-peaked glaciers far
and near,
Made the antlered elk and made
the deer;
Made the lynx cat, too, with tas-
sled ears,
The bob cat Sinking with cum
ming leers,
Made the snarling cougar and the
bear
And the lodes of precious metals
rare.
These lodes she filled with crystals
fine
And left them there for men to
mine.
With carving knife she cut ravines
Then filled them with cleaning
icy streams.
She made little rivulets all about
Full of cleaning speckled noun
tain trout.
Trickling into the great North
Fork they flow
Down the giant staircase far be-
low.
Step by step down each steep and
rocky flight
On the way to Lake Cushman
to generate light.
Then rising they splash in silvery
spray
Plunging over and down the
giant spillway.
To the wide plateaus they lazily
glide,
Winding on through the flower
clad valley wide.
Slowly more slowly the waters
creep
To Hood Canal so wide and deep
And at last to rest in Union Bay
Done is the work of the rivulets
gay,
This the Olympic Peninsula fair
AS Nature made it and left ii
there.
