Go west young man! Jimmie
Roosevelt, son of the President, did
and has he made good? Newspaper
announcements from Hollywood, mec-
ca of movie stars and large incomes
| tell us that Jimmie has recently re-
ceived a $15,000-per-year raise in a
new three-year contract from Samuel
Goldwyn, Inc, movie producers.
Jimmie has been in his capacity as
vice president of Goldwyn for just six
months and from reported salary
of $35, 900 per year he has jumped
to $4,000. l don't see why he signed
three-year contract, for according
to his present rate of making good
he will at the end of that time, be
considerably short of what he could
have made.
You know there must be something
in the kid after all, for in short
period of six months he has risen
to a salary point of two-thirds OF
what his dad is getting T.. and look
at the money HE handles.
see the Republicans are using a
slogan in their early campaign ma
terial which reads, "For JOB vote
COP" -. that's what we are afraid
of; you know the Democrats should
get good civil service system started
first.
In some of Paul v. McNutt's presi-
dental campaign material appears a
story about how he, when school
boy, embarrassed his teacher by being
a party to turning on the water in a
school fountain which flooded class
room. You know, don't believe il
would be we'll for us to have his kind
in the White House for he might
puncture some of the dams . and
bubbles his predecessor has built i.
and what splash that would make
One thing about McNutt, though;
he has travelled so much in his polit-
ical rise that he possibly is tired and
will be willing to stay home if he
should become president . don't
know whether he fishes or not.
Reports from New York state that
schism developed in the ranks OF
the American Youth Congress which
was in session the first of this week
in that city. The split was caused
when the Congress voted down reso-
luton denouncing Com m u n S m
Twenty-three of the 1875 organiza-
tons at the meeting bolted. Com
munism, like death, seems to take
no holiday.
There are some who state that the
Youth movement is not Communist
controlled i. if it isn't, Communism
or its sympathizers certainly con-
trolled that vote and we often speak
of majority vote in legislative halls
being controlled by certain faction
see where Douglas Corrigan will
wed his childhood friend. Well, by
golly, no one will begrudge the cou-
pie of their happiness seeing as how
he won his spurs at solo flying before
trying a flight with a companion.
Papa Dionne sues DR.. Dafoe, says
a headline. The reason, says the
world-beater father, is that he pro-
fits from the famous CUNTS. The rich
shall get richer and the poor shall
get poorer, it seems. Five years age
neither Dionne nor Dafoe could have
raised the necessary fees to 60 to
court, but the little girls have been
good money makers :. there would
seem to be enough for all.
The famous papa seems to be &C.
counting for every cent of money
which surrounds the CUNTS, like g
certain little boy for instance, whose
business acumen marked him as g
future millionaire. Being seen on the
street with litter of puppies, lady
inquired: "How much are those pup
pies worth, little boy?" "a dollar
apiece, except that one, and he's g

One of the tragedies of life is the
fact that no one gives a dinner ir
our honor until we don't need it.
