He finds a people very much at
war, a people in which practically
every family seems to be repre-
sented in the armed forces.
Slang Is Picturesque.
The broadbrimmed cowboy"
hats of the Aussie soldier are seen
everywhere. Australians are on the
average somewhat shorter than
Americans, contrary to the popular
belief that all Aussies are lanky fel
lows. They are a wiry. tough race
of men, and wonderful fighters.
WAAAFS (Womans Australian
Auxiliary Air Force, AWAS (Aus-
tralian Woman's Army Service and
WRANS (Woman's Royal Austria
liam Naval Service) are seen at every
turn. Australian women. as much
as possible, replace men in war and
service jobs at home About half
of the tram conductors are women.
A large number of other jobs, such
as truck driving, messenger service
and factory occupations, have been
taken over by women.
Australian slang (the speech
sounds very similar to the English
Cockney accent to American ears)
is vivid and plentiful. Here are
some of the words Yanks have
gotten used to: Pub, barroom; cob
ber, friend; dinkum-truth, good; !;
fair, denotes emphasis, as fair
dinkum," or very good bloke, joker,
man; argue the toss, dispute; crook,
bad, as Il feel fair crook today;
digger, Australian soldier; biscuit,
cookie or cracker; flicks, motion
pictures; sheila, girl; mark. unpleas-
ant person; petrol, gasoline; POM
mie, Englishman; wowser, temper
ance advocate or spoil-sport; shout,
to buy some one something, usually
a drink.
Traffic to the Left.
Traffic is always to the left, as Is
pedestrian traffic on the sidewalks,
or "footpaths,' as they are called
here. A curb is a kerb and tyre is
that scarce article, an auto tire.

MAKING MURDER ATTRACTIVE
Long Prarie Leader)

The state pardon board commuted
last week the sentence of Mime
apolis murderer, Harold Segal, from
life to ''seven to thirty years." The
effect of the communication is to make
Segal eligible to parole and if he
has any luck with the parole board,
he will soon be out and in circula-
ton again as he has already served
the seven years.
The case calls attention again to
our pardon system and is of par
ticular interest to Long Prairie peo-
pie following as it does the Bierney
McTague case. Segal is a worthless
young squirt who stole a car one
night in 1885, drove out to neigh
borhood grocery, held it up and when
the proprietor, Oscar Odean, did not
get his hands up quickly enough, cold
bloodedly shot and killed him. The
crime was deliberate and without ex-
tenuating circumstances of any kind
The only reason Segal was not hanged
upon being found guilty, was that
hanging is forbidden in Minnesota.
Now, after seven years of ease, with
better food and lodging at the state
prison than many citizens are able
to afford and have, he is to be turned
loose.
Great system we have in Mime
sofa.

DECISION LIKELY TO STAND

"Judge A. P. Stolberg put crimp
in law passed by the late legis-
lature and that body should take to
heart the lesson contained in his
memorandum" says the Springfield
Advance Press. ''For years the legis-
lature has been enacting special legis-
lation contrary to the constitution by
pretending to phrase the act in gen.
eral terms. In this case the legis-
lative enactment provided that in 'all'
counties having population be-
tween 10000 and 27,500 and having
between as and 49 townships the
county board should have certain
powers over salaries of county Of
ficers. The judge checked up and
found that 'all' counties meant only
Pine county. He promptly labeled it
special legislation and declared it
unconstitutional. That decision isn't
likely to be disturbed"

SORRY RECORD
Editor ASkov American:

Editor Askov American:
The first six months of the 18th
Congress scuttled every New Deal
proposal for successful prosecution
of the war and for effective rehabili-
tation after. 1t gave nothing in re-
turn.
The issue as between going for
ward and backing up was involved
in 18 Senate and 20 House roll calls.
They included the anti-racketeering
and anti-strike bills, the $4,000 sal
aries limit, Federal income tax, in
centive payments to farmers, crop in
surance, home owners loans, rural
electrification and price roll back
which you howl about every time you
buy groceries.
Of the II Minnesota members Sen
ator Joe Ball stands high in sup
porting the administration. He has
10 votes for, against, absent.
'Loan Wolf" Shipstead has 7 for,
9 against, absent, one paired against.
In the House the record is sor-
ry one. On 20 issues the nine Rep
resentatives voted pro and anti as
follows:
Andersen, first district, II nays,
Q yeas, paired once. (To be paired
is to "duck" committaD. O'Hare,
