but they served TO arouse new
apprehension in Rumania, whose

THE last train goes from Qua
dalaJara to the City of Mexico
by night.
We decided that we wanted to
see the country and the people.
So we took the day train-an
accommodation train and the most
excessively polite and accommo-
dating train you ever saw or heard
about.
In the United States an ac-
commodation train stops not only
at all the big stations but at all
the little stations too.
But in Mexico 1t stops ut every
small village whether there Is
station there or not and at every
hacienda and at every house that
looks like 1t might contain q pos
sibIe passenger and at every cross
roads and sometimes hopefully
where there is merely peon
asleep In the cool shade OF a
spreading tree.
Once we stopped where there
was nothing TO be seen but a
rooster chasing a hen.
Doubtless the engineer wanted
TO know whether or not the
rooster caught up with the hen.
These Mexicans are such a
romantic people.
IN OUR more prudish and prosaic
country there would have 10 be
some real reason for even an ac-
commOdation train TO stop at a
minor way station.
On one occasion Addison Miz-
ner, Bohemian and bon vivant,
provided the reason.
Miner was a tall and wide and
roomy person full of good humor
and good nature-and also gener-
ally OF good food and drink.
He heartily enjoyed good
dinner a. one where you sit down
three or four inches away from
the table and eat until you touch.
Addison often ate such n good
dinner as he described - often
drank one too.
He was a delightfully."- irrespon-
sible individual.
He enjoyed his irresponsibility
and 80 did his friends.
You know IT takes personality
to no pleasingly irresponsible and
Heaven endowed genius TO be ir-
responsibility successful.
Most of us are serious and
sedate. regular and reliable be-
cause We have TO be.
We do not get up early In the
morning and hurry through break
fast and dash TO the office. upset

MIR. Arthur Lake in the photoplay
of Blonde, because we want TO but
because we have 10.
Reliability, like honesty, Is the
best policy, 1t gets and holds opr
jobs. r.
Let US fatter ourselves too that
we are the useful members OF
society and not merely the orna-
mental and superficial ones.

for a job the boss should ask It's

I'm. I'm. Let us draw n curtain

country where he was visiting.
The sign at the station read

It ts reported that Senator Danaher ard his father, State Labor CommIs. sioner Cornelius J. Danaher, may support Edward J. Ryan of Thomas ton for the nomination. Opposi- ton of the state organization to any such move is certain. MT.

 Ex-Governor Baldwin made his first public declaration of stand against isolationism only recently. He and MT. Pryor have been close to MT. Willkie ever since the days Of the Republican national convention at Philadelphia in 1940. 'sn
 Feeling against Senator DanaKer has been running high in some Re- publican ranks for many months.
