LONDON, April 30. (UP) -
British ships were ordered to-
night to take the Cape of Good
Hope route around Africa to the
Far East and keep out of the

One Way To DO It

One Way To DO It
Bill Reed tired everything he
could think of to change his luck
He put handkerchief on his head
circled his chair three times and
was even considering calling in a
black cat because mis- luck in a
bridge game at the Legion Hall got
WorSer and Worser. He scarcely had
bid all evening until someone
handed him a new deck of cards:
Here, try this deck. 1t may help
you"
Still discouraged, Reed dealt the
hand and his eyes popped out when
he saw his own carts He counted
so much honor count that he
couldn't believe it was possible and
happily announced:
-Four no trump
About that time one of the other
players, scoWling declared:
Something's pnony here. I've got
four queens, all in the same Suit!''
1t was a pinochle deck.

On the subject of who first
squaWked about the condition OF
the crossing at Main street and
the railway:
it wrote a letter about April Is and
will offer proof.
RR claims the first gun was fired
in this column a couple of weeks
before that.
Mayor Bob Hatton announces:

about six months ago.
A Bike Rack
While still fired with zeal for
the public veal, how about a bicycle
rack for the public library? Mon
day afternoon there were a half
dozen bikes parked on their sides
on the walk in front of the library
door. Their presence caused library
goers to endulge in little broken
field walking to keep from trodding
on spokes A rack in the rear
should solve it.
Now don't tell us that's been
thought Of before!

You would never guess it to look
at him, but Bill Clements frame
is equipped with speed that shames
Nurmi and Cunningham. Just the
other day Bill did something in the
line of speed that is more Spectac-
ular than anything those two FAM
Gus runners ever did. Bill ran down
a jackrabbt.
1T was really nothing Bill ex-
planned modeStly. The jack was
only half grown and SO it wasn't
quite fair
Sam Marshall and Bert Lemons,
who were present when the feat
was accomplished, hint that Bill
ran through a few barbed wire
fences before he captured the quar-
ry, tearing his trousers consider
ably. Bill denies this.
Trousers or no trousers, Bill def
initely is a runner! If a full grown
jack can run 40 miles an hour,
then a half grown jack would,
logically be able to log about halt
tnat or 20 miles an hour Which
means Bill can amble at least 81
miles an hour, with or without
pants.
On the other hand, if age takes
It's toll from rabbits as it does from
humans, then the younger jack
would be the faster . which would
mean that Bill can run about =.
oh, nuts, you figure it out.
