"WPA Is Clamoring for More Gil
ents," was the way a headline read
in the Sunday Sun, 1t also stated,
puzzled by the relatively small num-
Der of persons on work relief in Mary
land as compared with other states,
officials of the Works Progress Ad-
ministration have been urging city
and state relief authorities to refer
them all persons in need"
To our way of thinking, that logic
is most astounding. State and Fed
eral WPA officials actually invite peo-
pie to get on relief; they want to give
out more of our taxpayers money,
they want their employees in different
counties to go out and hunt for peo-
pie to whom they can give money, for
leaning on shovel.
Instead of wanting to reduce relief
they want to increase it. Pretty soon,
at this rate, they will be sending
around the sheriff ordering US to get
on relief or else go to jail. At this
rate, as long as the New Deal is in
Washington, there will never be any
attempt to overcome this depression,
borrowing will continue, and this ma
ton will go bankrupt, initiation will be
major disaster, and President Roose-
welt will blame it all on the business
men.
Can't we do something about this in
November, and two years from now?
If we don't do it then, we might all
just as we'll quit working and let the
government support US on money that
he's been draining from the poor, mis-
guided people who have always
worked for a living.
DEAR, DUMB DAD
My Father, poor, misguided gent,
Wasted his life; life misspent
By working hard, and working late
Trying to gather pieces of eight.
Poor Dad; He'd fuss and fret and toll
And burn the blooming midnight oil
For nothing but little cash
To buy the daily beans and hash.
Poor Dad: He was so mild and meek
He'd work six days in every week
And fourteen hours most every day
To try to keep the wolf away.

Amassed a rather tidy sum,
In fact the future held no fears
For him in his declining years.
Then came the NEW DEAL: Simple
Dad,
Who worked so hard for all he had,
Awoke one morn to find that he
Was now a public enemy.
A louise, a scrooge, a national cyst,
An economic royalist;
So Dad, industrious, but dumb,
Is now the source from which will
come
The coin to buy the gasoline
For some poor underdog's machine.
To bring THE MORE ABUNDANT
LIFE
To every loafer and his wife,
From Dad will be extracted sums
For radios to ease the hells
Of all the chronic Ne'er-do-wells;
For booze, so labor's little Nell
Can tell the boss to go to HI.
Poor Dad, a faithful, trustful COON,
Was born just 80 years too soon.
I'm VEPITE
A moral turks along the hail.
In all this fancy fol-de-rol,
And it is this: That any cheat
Who says you ought to work to eat,
Is simply nuts, out of his head,
Sit on your tail, or stay in bed,
The government will see, by CAD,
That you get yours from chunps like
Dad.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

Yowler the Bobcat had come to
the Green Forest by chance. His
home had been among certain
lodges on the Great Mountain. When
he left it he had no idea of staying
away. Such an idea didn't enter his
head. He simply started out hunt
ing, just as usual. But hunt as he
would he could obtain nothing on
his usual hunting grounds. So he
wandered farther and farther down
toward the Green Forest until he
came to the edge Of it. There he
hesitated. He was tempted to go
on and he was inclined to 60 back.

Green Forest.
He caught mice enough to keep
him from going hungry and some
times by day and sometimes by night
he prowled about, soft-footed,
stealthy, studying the signs OF his
neighbors, trying to learn their
habits. 1t didn't take him long to
discover that the Grouse family lived
in the Green Forest, but a greater
discovery was that the Gobbler FAM
lily lived there. The first glimpse he
got of Big Tom Gobbler put all
thoughts of Paddy the Beaver and
al the others out Of his head. Just

He stretched and yawned and
then as silently as shadow he
trotted over to the pond of Paddy
the Beaver for q drink. It was
while he was drinking that he saw
Paddy for the first time. Paddy was
big. He looked fat. The mere sight
of him made Yowler's mouth water.

was very busy getting his supply of

Yowler discovered that in order to
get this, Paddy had to 60 on shore.
He studied Paddy's way of working,

arrival, he started forth. Hardly

'Merrily We Live" the Hal
Roach-MGM successor to TOP
per-" one Of last seasons daffi-
est comedies, opens Friday at
the Columbia Theater for a re-
peat engagement, with Con-
stance Bennett once again cast
in a comedy portrayal, this time
costarred with Brian Aherne.
The new picture. based on a
screen play by Eddie Moran and
Jack Jevne, was directed by
Norman z. Mcleod, director Of

ceSses, and its supporting cast
includes Billie Burke, Alan Now
bray, Patsy Kelly, Ann Dvorak,
Tom Brown, Bonita Granville,
Marjorie Rambeau, Phillip Reed,
Clarence Kolb and Marjorie
Kane.
The action of "Merrily We
Live" revolves around the antics
of the Kilbourne family, as mad,
fantastic and carefree a group
as were ever assembled under
one roof.
Each is a rugged individualist,
but together they present q
united front that is bewildering
to their sedate and conservative
suburban neighborS. The new
picture marks the first costar-

the current Snow White and
the Seven Dwarfs."
Katharine Hepburn and Cary
Grant, principals in the novel
love affair, set a dozen new
precedents, though for the aver
age couple most of these are
not recommended.
The romantic initiative is
taken by Miss Hepburn, and the
unsuccessful fleeing by Grant.
The methods Miss Hepburn uses
to bag her quarry are Singularly
unique. Her first trick consists
of enlisting Grants aid to trans
port a leopard from New York to
Connecticut. Later, she en-
ployS a dog to hold Grants at
tention while she hides his
clothes to prevent his return to
the city to carry out his original
plan of marrying Virginia
Walker, his secretary.
Each time Grant seems on the
point of escaping, Miss Hep
burn conceives a new scheme
to hold him, and before the pic
ture reaches its happy conclu-
sion the two have landed in
jail, stolen an automobile,
stoned an innocent man, posed
as circus entertainers and met
with dozens of other madcap ad-
ventures.
Charlie Ruggles, May Robson,
Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Cat
lett and Fritz Field also figure
prominently in these escapes,
with a large sporting cast to
help pile up the merriment.
Howard Hawks produced and
directed the film for Radio. The
story is from a magazine yarn
by Hagar Wilde, with the
screen play by Miss Wilde and
Dudley Nichols.
