The April Fool Joke

1t is no longer customary to tie
up the bottom of Fathers trous-
ers on the morning Of April /, so
he can not draw on these gar
ments. Nor to place on the walk
brick tied into nice looking
package, so someone will pick it
up and thing it is a valuable par
GEL Yet the April First spirit of
obtaining enjoyment out of the
embarrassment of other people
still lives, and is likely to survive
for a long time.
A verse of poetry was once
written, which raised the question
whether the one who is fooled by
such a joke, or the one who does
the fooling, is the greater simple
ton. The wise man may look
foolish when he has bitten into
wool dough-nut But the mind
that can get satisfaction out of
giving him that doughnut shows
less wisdom.
Still, life should not be a too
solemn occasion. The Young
world has learned from the ex-
periences Of April l that things
are seldom what they seem. After
the youth has travelled all over
town inquiring for a left-handed
screw driver he is perhaps better
fitted to mingle in world full Of
receptions.
With some folks it is April /
all the year around. When they
see somebody approaching the
first idea is to apply some Joke
to them. That kind of people
may be tiresome for regular com
panions, yet laughter is called
good medicine.

HOaC old Is Your Minds?

In olden times there existed
great fears of epidemics and
eclipses. Short distances seemed
far away to most people. The
tales Of ancient mariners return
ing from their long voyages
sounded like fairy tales. If our
own North and South had known
one another as they do in our
present times where scientific
means of transportation have
brought them into intimate con-
tact the Civil War would have
been impossible.
Now, everybody knows his dis
tances" and messages go around
the World with little regard for
minutes or seconds.
The popular philosopher-scien-
fist Charles F. Kettering regards
types of minds as the real keys to
progress. Celebrating on the
"old" and young" type Of mind
he estimates the ratio to be
about 10000 to 1 in favor Of the
"old'' mind.
Throughout the generations a

Speediest Things

Some interesting observations
on speed are made in a bulletin of
the National Geographic, Society
which names an insect. the deer
bot fly, as the fastest moving
thing in the world, flying at the
rate of about 1900 feet per Sec
ond. as timed with a camera
shutter.
AS sound travels only about
100 feet per second, the bot fly
travelling at full speed would be
going too fast to hear the buzz
of its own wings-theoretically,
at least. And if it could sustain
this maximum speed it could go
around the world in about thirty
hours.
Among birds. the speediest is
the duck hawk. The falcon. swift
eagle and vulture, are also among
the fast flyers. The cheetah, a
member of the cat family, is the
fleetest of quadrupeds, while also
noted for their speed are the an.
telope, gazelle, deer, giraffe and
others. The ostrich, however. is
the fastest creature that travels
on foot.

The Hunter
BY Judge Van Der Veer

I try to pity the hunter
AS / would pity the blind.
He goes into the woods
With a dark mind.
He cannot see the beauty
OF life in a deer,
He goes to deal death,
And pain and fear.
He cannot see how beauty,
Fades from the eyes
OF the wounded one
That drops and dies.
He cannot truly know,
Or take deep delight
In the wild beauty
Of swift flight.

He concluded with the assertion

Ralph H. Campbell. attorney for the

OF Oregon, the Unemployment Com

ployers of the State"
He estimated that if the EMPLOYERS
were forced to pay the full Federal
tax they would be billed each wear
for about $8,000,OOO. He read a letter
from Gov.-elect Charles Sprague
saying he would ask the Legislature
at its next session to remove all
features of the States Unemplov-
ment Compensation Act which might
prevent its certification by the So
clal Security Board.
AT this point, Mr., Padway re-
marked that several labor organiza-

already were boycotting Oregon
products because of the new restric-
tlons on picketing.

Security Board 10 Rule
Soon on Oregon Law
.Curbing Union Actions
Fist Decision on Act to
Decide Whether JobIess
Aid Is lnvuIiduted

The initial decision bearing on the
validity of Oregon's widely publi-
cized anti-labor referendum will be
issued by the Social Security Board
within the next 10 days, it was
promised tentatively by the board
after hearing yesterday on how
the initiative affects the States un-
employment compensation law.
Although it is not the function of
the board to pass judgment on the
wisdom or the legality of the pro-
vision adopted by Oregon voters
last month, its ruling on whether
the provision removes the State un-
employment compensation law from
an approved status will mark the
end of the first round in long legal
bout in store for the initiative.
Specifically, the issue before the
board IS whether the very re-
stricted definition of labor dis
pute" as contained in the proposal
approved by the Oregon voters does
not conflict with that intended by
Congress in connection with un-
employment compensation. If such
is found to be the case, the Oregon
law might lose it's certification by
the Federal board Administrative
grants to the State then would be
withheld and Oregon employers
would be denied credit by the Fed
eral Government for unemployment
taxes paid into their State fund.
Labor Factions Unite in Fight.
At the hearing yesterday attor-
neys for the rival wings of organized
labor joined in fighting the new
Oregon provision and asking the
board to withdraw certification of
the compensation law Much of
their opposition was on grounds
broader than the specific concern
of the board.

Richard Bradley of Porterville, who
filed suit October 20 against Nc

today he began an attempt two
years ago to have the management

Mr.. Bradley said his $l25OOO
damage suit was preceded by two
years of investigating the firm
headed by the man unmasked last

Swindler.
The suit contended Coster-Musica
violated the firms bylaws in a

two men approached him in that
city in November. 1887, with an
offer to sell the Mexican government
