| defeat. This announcement is
good news for the turkeys.
The reason for attempting tt
change Thanksgiving was thai
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas
came too close together and the
business people needed more dis
tance between them. But for ov
er hundred years they had been
close together and business got
along very well. When a thing Is
working very well it is best to lei
well-enough alone.
POSSIBLY THE REASON
We see where some authority
states that women are more fas
cinated by horrors than are men
which possibly explains why some
women marry the men they do.
JUDGES AND JURiES
Two times in one week two jur.
les received seedlings by two
Judges because they refused to
return a verdict on a drunk-driv-
ing charge. 1t seems these drunk
drivers cause a lot of trouble and
cost the county a lot of money
to try them.
But the same week another
drunk-driving case, in which the
death of a child occurred, was
freed. The court stated that the
man was not a drinking man" al
tho he was intoxicated when the
accident occurred.
Possibly this probation case in
fluenced the jurymen in the other
two cases.

Lindbergh is against our going

stay out of war.

American Theater and for years a

the Eastern Seaboard, have COM
pleted their second week at the
Alabama Theater Cafe where they
are headlining an all star show for
Curtis Mosby and his successful

MoSby assured the patrons when
he opened the Theater Cafe that
he would bring the best of talent to
Central Avenue and in Butter

word to them. This famed team has
been laying the patrons in the
aisleS with their comic routines and
at last Los Angeles is able to see
why they have been a success in
the theater so long.
The Four Tone, coming quartet
of the Pacific Coast are also in the
show at the Alabam Theater Cafe.
They returned to their old stomp
ing grounds after a successful en-
gagement at the Rhumboogie, Hol-
