NEWCOM EhS 6AhhED
There will be no new war million
aires, David Dachs informs us.
The veteran millionaires of World
War l have called family reunion
and voted to exclude outsiders.
Certain states are modelling laws
upon the precedent set by the Japa-
nese diet when it went on record
against dangerous thoughts"
These laws will be hardest upon
those who think the Brooklyn Dodgers
will win the pennant.
LITTLE LUTHER
Luther" said Mr.. Dillworth, 81
have been reading in the public press
about some very interesting educa-
tional experiments"
"You mean censoring the school
books, father?"
Nov, Luther! Nobody is trying to
censor any books. The Natl Assn.
of Manufacturers merely wants to see
that the proper facts are properly
presented. What l am referring to
is a demonstration of an incendiary
bomb before a group of students, and
an experiment in establishing a die
tatorship for one day at another In
yes, father?"
These experiments, my boy, strike
me as realistic effort to acquaint the
younger generation with some of the
hard facts of life Too many of our
boys and girls leave school with no
for the sterner realities"
Say, father! We ought to. get
some real training at our SCHOOL,"
Luther, | wholly agree. And as a
of the board of education,
shall bring up the matter at our next
well, I'm going to ask the econom-
les teacher If we can't go on the |
picket line at that factory down by
The river"
Luther If you don't stop talking
such nonsense, | shall have to cut off
your allowance. You stick to your
textbooks. There's enough In them
70 keep you occupied. Err II
Luther, how did you hear about that.
+. er picket line? Did that |
new economics teacher say anything
about it?"
mo, father. | just happened to
cad about 1t in the newspaper. The
,apers are reporting all of the strikes
low"
