BROADWAY BALLAD q will go ever crying down the
 winds
 With slender songs that stir old
 ghosts from sleep, Hoping that in the darkness some-
 one minds ....
 And stays a bit to listen and to
 weep.
 ( will pluck magic from the silver
 strings
 That form the fragile lute of
 memory .... ( will go searching for forgotten
 Springs, When love was fresh and grief
 was yet to be. I will find lanes that ever twist
 and turn,
 I will find Inns that beckon in
 the night,
 [ will go seeking where the torches
 burn,
 And where the moonmist turns
 my pathway white. And If my fate is good, my fortune Somehow, feel I will find you
 there.
 | DON VAIN. Remember It! Bob Dunn won- ders if we ever heard about the late Jim Thornton, the vaudeville star, when he was teamed with Gentle man Jim Corbett. MT. Thornton was an elbow-bender, and whenever he went on a spree, an act was carl- celled. It happened at the Palace T'heater.
 Corbett went looking for his partner and located him in a saloon with terrible looking bum. Corbett bawled him out and refused to give him money for one more drink. To which Thorn ton, in regal tones said to the bum: MT. Russell, this is MT. Corbett. Throw a louSe on him!" Heheheh: Lee Shubert, the thea ter magnate, was complaining of a sore throat.
 That's what you get" scolded a wag, flor counting your money out loud"
 Mail This to Someone: We saw it in Coronet. It should be handed to people who cash in their War Bonds. A man scheduled for induc- ton the next day decided, before going to sleep. to cash in his Bond the next a. m.
 That night he dreamt he was in a fox-hole fighting Japs. One Jap charged at him with a bayonet. Sighting his own rifle, our hero was about to save himself by pull ing the trigger, when his sergeant tapped him on the shoulder and said: "Sorry, but the man who paid for your rifle wants 1t back"
 Ho. Hum: The editor of Fort Wayne paper says: "As John ODonnell has written, We Ameri- cans will be a bit confused over whether the initials W. w. stand for Woodrow Wilson or Wendell WilIkie'."
 Or Walter Wanger.
 The Morning Mail: Dear Wal ter" writes Maurice Rocco. Tt must be on an oldie, but 1t still gets the biggest laugh wherever gamblers gather. About the wife who (going through her grooms pockets) found slip of paper on which was meno'd Ruth She asked him: Whats this mean?' Oh he oh'd, that's a horse played today Then the phone rang. She picked up the receiver, Darling said the Mrs, your horse wants to talk to you"
 Sock in the Nose Dept: From an editorial page: We don't believe this country is willing to deprive the boys (who march into battle) of the vote, and at the same time ex- tend the privilege to those who walk out in strikes"
 Memo from Girl Friday: The office of Congressman A. G. Klein phoned to say it was i-onical that MT. Klein inserted ito the Record the Presidents message on Brother hood Week on the very day Con. Rankin tried to belttle you.
 said: That's fine. But why didn't MT. Klein or Cong. Dick stein or Cong. Cellar get up and say something to Herr Rankin? I sure do think 1t is ironical - that 1t remained for fighting Irish man named Sheridan to be the only one to get up and challenge Ram kin for any facts. Incidentally wonder what Herr Rankin has to : say about It. Col. Mellnik, one of the very few to escape and bring the Jap atrocities story back homer"
