parlor.
 The star of the proceedings was Susy Prin1, and I don't know whe- ther she was funny or not. I could understand not one word of hers. I got an eyeful, though, and can re- port that she is a blonde of about the heft and shape of Mae West, has the same come-hither look in the big blue eyes, and the same clip of the hip.
 There were perhaps 50 girls in the chorus, mostly pretty and in general goose-pimply. Half the time they wore no undershirts and . quarter of the time they wore nothing at all. In one scene they wore coats of cold cream which made them glisten as they danced on Q flight of stairs.
 Indigestion Comes Easy
 So I didn't get my dinner until after midnight in a restaurant known as Du Castel, which had been highly recommended.
 The food wasn't bad, either, but q stripteaSeroo came with the soup, and @ small riot with the veal steak. When the chaf1telise began to sing, customers dog started to howl. She insisted the hound be elected. The proprietor of the dog said over his dead body. Things went on from there.
 I had indigestion the rest of the night.

 Boswell Van Dsisefi was the owner and editor of the Morning Chief.
 He was a very nice fellow.
 He always spoke well of every body.
 MS wifes name was Myrtle. That is hll we have to say about Mrs. Van Dusen.
 Boswell Van Dusen's motto for the Morning Chief was, If you can't boost, don't knock.
 He was Q great believer in sweet ness and light. He had shaved off his mustache and he didn't have much hair on his head. He claimed there was some good in everybody. He always wrote nice things about everybody in the Morning Chief. He never had Q bad word for anyone.
 Boswell Van Dusen had Q tough time making ends meet with the Morning Chief.
 The business men in our town advertised in 1t when they felt like it. Generally, they didn't feel like it. They knew Boswell Van Dusen wouldn't bother them in the Morfl- ing Chief.
 Nobody paid much attention to him or his paper, because every body understood that Boswell Van Dusen was @ kind man and very harmless, and would give anybody who got married nice notice, and anybody who died 8 lovely obitu- &ry, and would keep anything out of the paper that anybody wanted kept out.
 Then one day Boswell Van Du- sen got to thinking things over He realized that the Morning Chie1 was dying the death of a rag baby and that he himself was in danger Of starving.
 He said to himself, To hell with sweetness and light, 1t ain't no good He began knocking the brains out of everybody.
 He called the politicians liars, an6 thieves, and cutthroats.
 He said half the people in Oul TOwr ought to be in jail.
 Everybody felt that this state. ment was a slight exaggeration or Boswell Van Dusen's part.
 Everybody said the number wal only one-third, at most.
 There was some talk of killing Boswell Van Dusen. He said he didn't care, he would just as soon be killed as starve to death.
 He wouldn't keep anything out ot the paper any more. He began printing news about the leading men in Our Town.
 This was very embarrassing tc them. They began putting ads in the Morning Chief.
 The politicians commenced think. ing of Boswell Van Dllsen when they were cutting anything up.

International Group lon Airlines Proposed

Washington, May 7.-(UP)-Bri- tain proposed during the Bermuda Aviation Conference that an in- ternational company be formed to run airlines in Germany and Aus tria.
 The previously undisclosed pro- posal is recorded in the same se- cret document whose section on a Trans World Airline-Italian con- tract irtitated some senators.
 The Anglo-American committee which discussed the British proposal decided 1t should be considered in Berlin by United States, British, Russian and French authorities.
 The document reveals conclu- sion that should Russia prevent Big q agreement on German and Austrian aviation, the other coun- tries should devise their own policy and apply it in their zones.
 A State Department official said the document represented the re- suits of an exchange of views but not an agreement since 1t was not adopted by the conference.

 By Dispotchers

Chicago, May 7-(UP)-Amer1can train dtspatcherS today asked the railroads for a six-hour day.
 O. H. Braese, president of the American Train Dispatchers Asso- citation, said c six-horlr day was needed because of occupational mental strain among dispatchers.
 '~Train dispatchers direct the movement of all trains operated by the nations railroads and are re- sponsible for the safety of the oper- ations," Braese said.
 He said dispatchers now are com pelled to perform the highly impor- tant work for eight hours a day and that during the last two hours they work in "a mentally fatigued state which is bad for the safety of the traveling public"
 Representatives of eastern, vest ern and southeastern railroads con- ferred on the demands yesterday and negotiations between manage ment and the association will be opened today, he said.

Cushing Urges
 Peace in L-obor ByArbitrotion

Boston, May 7-(UP) = Urging that neither management nor labor attempt to dictate the nations economy, Archbishop Richard J. Gushing has warned that unless peaceful discussion can be utilized to settle labor disputes by arHbitra- tion. the State may be forced to enter the field.
 Speaking ct the annual labor Mass at Holy Gross Cathedral Sunday, the Catholic prelate said the state would have to step in'so as to secure national prosperity and promote na- tional welfare, if arbitration failed.
 America has no love for dictators and 1t would be . tragic calamity If either labor or management ate tempt to Arrogate itself the dicta- torial right to life and death over American industry" he added.
 The diocesan leader called for team-play from labor and manage fnent, declaring that by strife they leave both sides exhausted losers, handing over industrial victory to foreign competition.

Priest Boosts
 |HeoIth Plan For Nation

Washington, May T-(UP)-The Rev. R. A. McGowan, director of the National Catholic welfare Con- ference social action department, said that universal public health program would deter the growth of Communism and Socialism.
 He told the Senate Education and Labor Committee that Communism and Socialism thrive on poverty. He said proper and universal medical care would reduce poverty. The committee is considering @ bill em- bodying President 1.rumans pro- posed compulsory national health insurance program.
 McGowan said his organization favors e national health system supplemented by Government funds. But, he advocated changes in the bill drafted by Sen. James E. Mur- ray, (D.-Mont.), to eliminate "com- plicated administration" and 'tex- cessive government control oyer the health services which are to be pro- vided."
 John H. Hayes of New oYrk, pres- ident-elect of the American HoSpi- tal Association, indorsed the theory of Federa1-state programs to pro- vide disqualification and health care for the needy. But, he vigorously op- posed g section of the bill which he said would place the Federal 0ov- ernment in such Q dominant posi- ton in the health field as to lead inevitably to federal control. :"
 Partial endorsements, with rec orlinendations for changes to de- centrali1e Federal control, also came from the Rev. Alphonse M. Schwd- talla, g. J., president of the Cath olic Hospital Association, and the Rev. John c. Martin, Newark, N. J, past president of the American Protestant Hospital Association.

Evefypooy In Our Town Q very proud of the Morning Chief.
 Everybody says Boswell Van Due sen is Q great editor, even if he doesn't ever have . kind word for anyone.
 Amy Vederman was Q homely girl. She was the homeliest girl in Our Town. Tn fact, she wAs the honle- Hest girl in our county.
 Some said she was the homeliest girl in our State.
 Jack Moroso, the gambler, offered to take c price that she was the homeliest girl west of the Missis- sippi, bar Iowa.
 Jack Moroso came from Iowa.
 But in spite of being homely. Amy vederman had the happiest dispoSi- tion of any girl in Our Town.
 She was happy about everything. She knew she was homely, but she did not worry about 1t. She was happy sine had her health. She was happy she had enough to eat. She was happy she was alive.
 Amy Vederman'S father was Vin- cent J. Vederman, who had a nice wholesale furniture business. He was able to give Amy everything she wanted. She moved in good cir- cles. She went to all the dances ct the Country Club, although nobody ever danced with her because she was so homely.
 She was a wallflower from in- fancy.
 She was born to be an old maid.
 But she was happy just the same.
 She was so happy that everybody said 1t was Q sin and . shame she was not better looking. Many of the prettiest girls in Our Town had terrible dispositions, but they al- ways got attention.
 When Amy Vederman was about 26 years old, there was a big dance at the Country Club, and Billy Chairs got the idea of making Amy Veder- man the belle of the evening with out her knowing 1t. | Billy Chairs was Q handsome young fellow who worked in the StockgrowerS' National Bank. He was very popular with ali the girls and had kind heart. He said that a girl as happy as Amy vederman deserved more enjoyment in life, SC he took all the girls and boys in the Country Club bunch to help out in his idea.
 The girls did not mind. Amy Ved- erman, she was so honely.
 So the night of the dance, Amy Vederman found herself constantly the center of an admiring group of young fellows, while the other girls sat on the sidelines.
 She had . partner for every dance. The boys waited on her, hand and foot, and took her out under the trees for strolls between dances, and in general made her feel like she was the queen of the occasion.
 They thought they were doing e good deed and adding to Amy Ved- erman's happiness, but before the dance was over, she was barely nod ding to the other girls.
 She thought 1t was all on the level, and she got so swelled up that I nobody could get near enough to hand her a ripe apple. She never learned it was all put-up job. Amy Vederman is now 43 years old, and, is the tinhappiest woman in the whole United States.
 She never knew another happy moment from the night of the dance because she has never been able to enjoy another triumph like that.
 Everybody in Our Town always said that Billy Chairs was a mean fellow for doing such a thing to Amy Veder7nan.
