"JIGGERS"

No doubt you have always known
that James Buchanan has been the
only bachelor President of the United
States.
Experts tell US one of the lowest
priced cars, if it was necessary to
make it all by hand, would cost US
about $4,000.
In seventeenth century England,
when tobacco was still somewhat of
novelty, professors of Smoking" did
brisque business. They hung out
shingles advertising their ability to
teach novices to smoke, inhale and
blow rings.
Mary Kathryn Duffy, Brotherhood
office employe, will tell you that
skating is dangerous business. She
is now attempting some one-hand
typing while sling supports broken
wrist suffered in a nasty fall last
Wednesday night in front of her house
while on the way to the rink.
With the spring training season
coming on at fast rate, none of the
other fifteen teams playing major
league ball seems to have strengthen
ed itself sufficiently to challenge the
supremacy of the blasting Yanks.
Perhaps overconfdence will beat them
this year, but it is hard to believe.
Boston should be hard club to beat
out, however.
Remember last year when East Liv-
erpool fans thought they were going
to be right in the center Of things
about World Series time, what with
the Indians and Pirates looking good?

Strange, but a girl in the office and
the Minerva Leader both wanted to
know the seven authentic wonders Of
the world last week. The Leader was
little better than the girl, however,
in that it could answer its own Ques-
ton. We pass them on: the statue Of
Jupiter Olympus, the Pyramid Of
khefren, the Hanging Gardens Of
Babylon, Temple of Diana at Ephesus.
the Pharos of Alexandria, the Colossus
of Rhodes and The Tomb erected by
Queen Artemisia in honor of her hus-
band, Mausolus.
The Leader also informs US that this
imposing list was compiled by the
poet, Antipator of Sidon, a rimester
of $50 B. c.

Dear Greenbelt:
We're long way from you folks, our train being
about fifty miles from San Francisco, but I still
think Of the poor "push cart" pushers at the New
York Worlds Fair. The day cold and blistery,
people who might have patroni zed a push about the
grounds in those rolling chairs had to walk, or
hole up in their favorite exhibit, keep warm. So
there those poor fellows their heads protected
from the non-evident by f1imsy helmets, and
only few of the less hardy made-for-
sumner uniforms with top-ooats. All day long they
pushed those empty oars about those almost empty
grounds. When the wi nd at it's worst they bumped
their bodies over that their faces rested the
handle bars Of their carts. and their sun helmets
became wind helmets, and they trudged on. blind1y,
unprofitab1y, for1orn1y.
What were their thoughts they trudged along7
Not very profound thoughts certainly. Even those
whose jobs meant veritable salvation for themse
and their families must have had their minds be-
n1mbed. even they must have been aware Of nothing
but the long minutes that must pass before their
release from their days job. Certainly the Fair
had little glamour for them.
But the glamour is there, and don't forget that
either. Within the boundaries Of those grounds is
displayed world Of human achi evement that
help but stir with wonder and pride, end give
daNming hope that may have future other
than that Of warriors after all. Worlds Fair,
even at glance, leaves you a broader vi sion, and
is therefore highly worthwhile.
As ever yours,
Howard c. Custer

City Council Met In Special Ses-
sion Monday Evening

At special meeting of the Mayor
and Town Council of Oakland on Mon
day evening DR.. E. l. Baumgartner
was sworn in as a member of Council,
thus completing the membership of
six. He fills the vacancy created when
|. R. Rudy, acting postmaster, re-
signed. The appointment of DIR. Baum
gartner had been made at a previous
meeting of Council held the week be-
fore.
Council also took steps to widen
Third street, between Alder and Oak
streets by planning to narrow the side
walk approximately three feet on the
west side. This would make the street
and sidewalk in that block the same as
those in the block between Green and
Alder streets, and according to men,
bers of Council would eliminate traffic
congestion at the corner Of Third and
Alder streets.
All property owners along this part
of Third street have agreed that the
proposed change in the sidewalk width
be made, it was stated. For this work
Council has planned a WPA project.
