Portrait OF Man
Picking at a Portable
The N. ]. governments dispos-
sessing of the German-American
Bund (from the state) sent the blood
racing through my veins What
a victory for all of us who have
been taking their insolence all these
years! Why the N. Y. press
doesn't campaign for similar action
/ wish I knew I'd enjoy print
ing his cap and car numbers-f |
didn't think his employers would
scold him for being human D.. Any
way, he stopped his Broadway troll
ley the other afternoon to unload
some passengers and saw blind
man on the other corner He
left his trolley-and escorted the
blind one by the wing to the other
side of the congested street
Then he dang-danged his bell and
went on.
For the life of me 1 cannot figure
out why "Amapola" is so popular.
It has the corniest tune of them all
And when "Intermezzo' is
played a la Beguine l feel like yell
ing: "Stop!!!" Why do they
always try to improve on master
pieces, anyhow? The Com
modify Research Bureaus 1941 Year
Book shows that the Presidents
Emergency Proclamation means in
creasingly strict rationing of vital
war materials. We're getting invis-
ible ration cards now My idea
of delicacy is the peppery red cab
bage at Moore's.
When read that the authorities
say mo sabotage" as in that huge
Jersey fire, I wonder-do the en-
forcement agents know that in York
vile they brag: "That was our an
swer to the closing of Camp Nord-
land" If the fire is due to
negligence, the insurance companies
do not have to pay off. But if it is
sabotage, they have to pay immedi-
ately Mr.. Oman Hoover told
me that the stories about the fire
were inaccurate at first. That in
stead of the damage being Is mil
lions, it was only two That
there wasn't thing there of de-
tense nature-or for Britain-and
that no sabotage had been detect
ed In short, colyumists are
not alone when it comes to getting
wrong steers-even newspaper edl-
tors fall hard for them now and
then-like we ordinary people
l know, I know. I'm not journal
list I'm merely jeernalist.
Tch, tch, tch.
The story of the week most I'M
likely to be confirmed: Japanese
propagandists in the U. S. have just
released the following flash That
''the Chinese invaded California in
500 A. D." Something to worry
about, huh? 1t must be won
derful to be an out-of-towner and
visit the Big Street for the first
time and see those lights 1t
seems wonderful to me, who has
lived among them so long-and 1
get belt, too, out of watching
watchers watch them.
1 see news here and there and
hear it, too, that Washington, D. c.,
is getting so crowded with people
that it has become the nations boom
town. And that Broadway shewmen
and others are seriously thinking of
opening night clubs there to cash in
quickly But they would be the
suckers if they did Apparently
they do not know that Washington is
still an early town, and that on Satur-
day night the bars must close by
midnight 1t is not place
where they stay up late-since near
ly all of them must be up early
with the other worms The
numerous parties given by the elite
and officials there-almost nightly
consume all the best customers, any
way-and that's on-the-cuff.
