Don't Argue With L0uO'

When will people such as R..
S. learn not to argue with the
law? You should never question
their actions. Put yourself in a
car on the inside lane Of traffic
moving at about 20 miles per
hour. You see a car up the street
about a half block on the inside
lane that looks as If it has stop
ped.
You start to put out your
hand to swerve around it. You
take a quick glance arou1. d and
see a seemingly endless line of
traffic. Then you say, "That
dumb cluck ought to be locked
up just as an example"
In getting in that other line
Of traffic you may cause an ac-
cident. Then you would say, eff
people were not allowed to stop
like that in a congested area,
this would not have happened"
The officers stony silence is
accounted for by the fact that
he deals with many, many cases
Of your type and he treats them
allsthe same. You would, too, if
you ever knew the amount Of
trouble this case can cause.

imagine there are a number
of supple and beauteous young
things in Washington who would
just love to fold up like water
lilies at Sundown at the feet Of
the little Scotch lassie whom
George Of York made his wife
and Edward of Windsor made
Queen-by his abdicat1on. And
I am sure, on the other hand,
that there are many charming

dread the possibility of the

through an act Of Congress,

Now, Lindbergh has a Ger

It does not seem possible to
me that one man can wear both
of these decorations. In fact
the Bible says:
mo man can serve two mas

Lindbergh should be called
upon to choose, and give up one
or the other Of these medals.
And it really doesn't matter
which he gives up, for he has
lost the respect of all real Amer

blood-stained Nazi decoration.

Music For the Mob

The symphony concerts are
soon to start, and I, like many
others, would like to attend,
but can't afford the prices.
Why would it not be possible
for the Government to give
money to the symphony to set
aside seats that could be sold
at a low price to those who
want to go but can not afford
to? Such a thing would bring
great Joy to many persons.

Let's Get Happy

Let us make friends with the
whole world, and get away from
all this talk of war.
We have too much wheat here
in this country. Italy has not
enough wheat. Then wouldn't
it be the kind, generous, Chris
tian thing to do to make gift
of some of our wheat to the
hungry Italians?
That would make an everlaSt-
ing impression on those people,
and would do much to make the
world a happier and better place
to live in.
There is too much war talk and
not enough brotherhood in the

and happiness, understanding

baronetcy during the visit Of
their majesties. Distribution of
honorS is the usual thing dur
ing royal tours and I know all
phases of society in Washington
would be for once a solid unit in
pleasure over such gesture Of
approval from the King Of Eng
land to his beSt-known and best
liked subject in this country.
Indeed, George might make Bill
a baron-in which case I suggest
the title, Lord Lewis of wilkins.
In Rome do as the Romans
do" doomed Sir Wilmott at me
when I posed the question. The
British Embassy, of course, is
regarded as British soil, but
George and Elizabeth are people
who have always in mind the
outlook, the styles and the Gus
toms of the people of those coun-
tries which they may be visiting.
Both Of tn m, as everybody
knows, are thoroughly demo
cratic. J am quite sure neither
of them will want any needless
curtseying. OF course, If some
lady takes it into her head to
curtsey when she comes before
their majeSties there will be
nothing the King or Queen can
do about it."
So that's that-on the word
of one who should know. AS for
myself my experiences with roy"
atty are extremely limited-and
one of them was tragic. At the
age of 7 I was patted on the
shoulder by the Duke Of Con-
naught, brother Of King Edward
the Seventh. A short time later
I learned that knighthood was
conferred by royalty Through q
tap on the shoulder" For three
days, until cruelty diSillusioned,
I had other little boys address
ing me as "Sir William"
T HAVE great hopes that little
L Queen Elizabeth'S very pleas
ing voice will have something to
do with driving out Of usage
this horrible broad-A Hollywood
imitation of a cultured English
accent. The over-emphasiS, as
it comes from the studios to
apparently-all grades of society
is as nasty on the ears as the
accents Of the London coster-
onger. Dramatically "a and
laugh at that statement IL you
want to, but check with voice
experts-we are not suited to
the broad-A except in seaboard
portions of New England.
Ladies being the copycats
they are, I think all of them
will want to talk as Queen Eliza
beth talks. Being Scotch-of
the upper class-she has a soft
voice with just the slightest
trace Of a burr. Listening to
her without knowing who she
is, you would take her foe a
Canadian or even an American.
And the voice that the American
climate, plus a decent education,
gives US is the most pleasing in
tonation of English that there
is in the world. So maybe after
the Queen goes home the girls
will be talking their own Ian
guage again.
