 CONSISTENT
 Whatever else he may be, Sena- tor Lynn J. Frazier is consistent. Unlike several colleagues, he is not one to talk economy and then vote to spend.
 The massive, bold North Da- kotan is a firm believer in govern ment spending and he has never been known to vote against 1t. That's his credo and he makes no bones about 1t.
 In fact, SO staunch an advocate of spending is Frazier that, like charity, he believes it should be-

 WELCOME HARBINGER OF COOL WEATHER
 The perspiring cliff dwellers of Gotham are facing the ther- mometer these days with new courage and contempt. The happy news has come across the Hudson from the Palisades. -
 The katydid has been heard.
 The katydid's repetitious mes sage has sounded on the ragged cliffs opposite New York, and folk are cooling off by merely thinking about it. The katydid, hamburger of frost, is the most welcome wis., itor to these parts at this season of the year. When he drones a changeless, monotonous Katy did, Katy-did," it is not for us to question what Katy did, but to be content that winter is on the wing
 It is amazing how many sky scraper-bound Manhattanites are conversant with the katydid's really popular fellow around Gotham at the height of the sum- mer heat.
 So now that he's here, a Happy Thanksgiving to you all, when ever it happens to fall by Presi- dential decree.

 Davis is considering it, though the racket-busting Dewey will have to approve of such exhibi- Q tionism before the notorious ex- lawyer can accept.
 Here is a phase of the show business which is energetically piled by few entrepeneurs who specialize in the sensational and macabre.
