HUMAN NATURE

Not all, alas. have pulchritude In woman's lovely race; The symmetry of some is crude In figure and or face. Alaek. not every man Is strong, With rippling muscles blessed And buttons busting off along His proud, expanding chest. For Adams crew-and that of Eve Has secrets none should tell Beneath the trouser-leg and sleeve And shoulder padded well. To appetite, too many pawnS Are moving on this earth, And, hence, of envied paragons There Is constant dearth. Yet imperfectlons that we note Tn features, muscles, pelts, The flaws on which we're prone to

Inverchape| Disc|aim,
British Link With
Grand Mufti' 5 Escape

The British government is 'in no
way connected" with the reported
return of the Grand Mutt of Je-
rusalem to the Middle East, whence
he was exiled in 1887 for anti
British activities, according to Lord
1nverchapel, new British Ambas-
sador to the United States.
! Describing the spiritual leader of
Palestines Moslems as "a very
stormy fellow indeed" the envoy
said he could not but deplore" the
incident in which the Grand Multi
escaped to Syria from France,
where he had recently been re-
ported under close surveillance.
We had absolutely nothing to
do with it." he asserted.
The Multi, Lord Inverchapel said.
appears to have Travelled by air
craft" He added the British gov
eminent did not yet know how the
flight was accomplished but would
make suitable inquiries"
After this official announcement
the Ambassador cautiously felt his
way through his first full-dress
Washington press conference,
bringing his Scotch wit into full
play as he parted a few embarrass-
ing questions which reporters had
been saving up for the occasion.
Why is Russia mad at the Ca
nadlans for prosecuting Canadians
who admittedly sold official secrets
to the Russians?" he was asked.
L don't know" Lord Inverchapel
said. Il was only in Russia four
Years, you see. Perhaps there is a
Tass RUSSIAN news agency repre-
sentative here"
Yes" said Tass' Lawrence Todd
of Kansas, there is"
Perhaps you would enlighten
these gentlemen" the Ambassador
suggested.
IT," said Mr.. Todd, am only 4
gatherer of news"

 A special committee of the Chamber of Commerce, consist ing of Edward M. Seidenverg, A. Polet, John FultS, Chris Roust, Carrie McLain and Col. J. Bodle, met with MT.
