big hurry to get nowhere in particular.
Just why an ordinary, intelligent
citizen becomes obsessed with desire to
.set record when he puts his hands on
a steering wheel is puzzle. the solution
of which will decrease highway fatalities

Ode to the Bombers

Our dashing Pranksters for to
barter
Their Civil Service for a charter
Did vent their jubilation
BY rending defamation.

Was chosen for their bombing

In front of their coniving den
Quite near The Key West Citizen

And their thoughts become more

Goodness, gracious, how they'll

When the Council can't produce
the dollar.
Adios,

Speaking in the irritation of defeat,
President Roosevelt said that if Congress
had given him the three billions he asked,
the money would have shown itself in the
form of better business conditions in from
60 to 90 days. That's correct; but the
better business would have been artificial,
and how about the time when the loans
would have to be repaid?
