They Wonder

The boys wondered last Sunday
about all these days honoring fathers,
mothers, etc.
"Why is it," said Johnny, chat
fathers and mothers get presents on
Fathers Day and Mothers Day, but
on Children's Day, we always have to
do something at the church,"
We ended up by getting them some
candy. That was easier than explain
ing.
An expert at scrambling words has
discovered that if you take the name
Adolf Hitler, you can get this list:
liar, dolt, thief, toad, loafer, dirt,
fear, rat, hate, fail, die, daft, tail,
frail, fall, rid, tear, drat, flat, all and
oaf. And no doubt many others, but
that ought to be enough.

From a Draftee
Walter Killius, of Mt. Lake Park,
one of. the local draftees, now sta
toned at Fort Sam Houston, Texas,
writes an interesting note to a friend
at the Park telling about his army
life.
"There were five of us Garrett
countians exiled here in this sun baked
land of tamales, Mexicans and dying
COW boy songs" he writes. "Only two
of us are from near Oakland, myself
and Elmer Tichnell Tichnell is is the
18th Field Artillery battalion, a unit
of the Second Division here in Fort
Sam; and for myself Pm in Post
Headquarters, living the life of Riley
without the pay, and practically dying
! for look at mountains and just one
good breath of some of that fresh
mountain air. | believe that | could
stand a couple of those nights up
there also, just to catch up on some
needed sleep. 1t is almost too warm
here to sleep at nights and such q
high humidity that comfort is some
thing unknown.
Being news sleuth, it may interest
you to know that here in Texas the
Civil War is still not over-we're still
damn Yankees, not hardly fit to mingle
with the white folk of the south Ir
all it isn't bad life, not too bad, but
l sure will be only too glad to gel
back there when this one year is over.

1On0 OF IL IN tne TWO Gays Since
1t was written. The difficulty is
finding something to put under it.
That title is harder to follow than
Gaudsmith's Dogs.
You couldn't write q column
about Hollywood and call it In
the Temporary Absence of San
ity." That is, YOU could, but
certainly couldn't. Hollywood Is
altogether too sane these days
anyway. Everybody's working
hard on next years pictures, and
In between times playing bene-
fits for the U. S. o. or knittin'
for Britain or visiting canton

Perhaps there might be a coll

Is very popular in Washington;
several thousand Washingtonians
already have signed a proclama-
ton giving him the title OF
"Washington's Adopted Son" But
that brings us right back to
titles again-and that's where the
trouble lies.
How about column on
"Charley's Aunt? That would
give me an opportunity to men
ton that the picture opens today
at Loew's Palace. There's an
anecdote about Jack Benny which
would fit in, too.
A few years ago, when Jack
was visiting Washington, sad,
droopy and dirty little dog mot
a cocker spanieD approached
him.
Scratch that dogs back said
Benny, pointing to the sorry
looking hound, land I bet you
would find all of IS old jokes"
OF course, the whole story is
pointless If we don't mention the
name of the other comedian, and
If we did mention his name, we
might stir up some unpleasant
ness or start a feud or some
thing. So we had better drop
the whole thing.
So-well, we still have a title.
1t might be safer to talk about
pictures on the horizon. which
seems like a silly place to have
pictures. (Or are they just
mirages?-EdD There's a swell
musical coming along from
Twentieth Century-Fox called

end up with one of those old

be worse than no column at all,
There's an idea.
A column is liable to just end
up in an old non seQaiter any
how. So Why not Just run the

Jimmy is raven. Of $50 trained

Whenever the movies need bird to
do anything, Jim gets the Job. He's

Twyford works Jim by word and
gesture. When Curley says, "fiy up
on that mans shoulder" Jim does
it. Shake hands" and Jim extends
a claw.
Curley trained Jimmy by talking
to him constantly. Whenever Curley
saw Jimmy pick ~up anything, he'd
