WHERE DUNK. COMES FROM

A great many Of the speeches made in Congress and
in state legislatures bunk This is particularly true in
election year We often the term 'bunk' without
realizing where it FROM although most of realize
what it means
Back in 1920 the pro-slavery and the anti-slavery
factions in the House of Representatives after long and
bitter argument had reached satisfactory compromise
concerning the entry of Missouri State in the Union
This was accomplished through the passage of the Mis-
souri, Compromise which provided that Missouri might
enter the Union slave state but that future states
formed above the line Of Missours southern boundary
should be free-soil states
All of the members of the House wanted an imme-
date vote with exception little known Congress

asked him to allow vote to be TAKEN
After that speech, every time legislator made a

'Buncombe' As time went the term shortened to

"Sonny" Murray Davidson, pro
prietor of Sloppy Joe's Bar, gave
me a rational explanation of why
bar owners wish to remain open
after two o'clock. had asked him
about the 20 per cent tax.
1--WE absorb the 20 per cent ex-
| else tax that the government levies
on places who furnish entertain
ment up until two o'clock. The tax
doesn't apply after that hour. Thus
in the late hours, we're able to
| make back some of the profits
which in the early part of the even
ing went toward these taxes"
Davidson is smart. When a guy
starts talking about his taxes, he
automatically gets the sympathy OF
any listener. Everytime you turn
around nowadays you are slap
ped In the face with a new tax.
After listening to the grouE
known as Monroe County Liquor
Dealers Association, I'm convinced
that. they have seen the hand-writ
ing on the wall. They win do theil
best to police their activities in the
future.
It certainly wouldn't be fair to
pass an ordinance which arbitrarily
forced a man to lose thousands OF
dollars overnight. Many of the local
bar owners have contracts which
they must honor. The contracts
were made with the expectation
that it would continue to remain
legal to stay open after 2 o'clock.
Of course, if a mans business is
run so rottenly as to make it ne.
cessary to close him up, then this
consideration can be forgotten. In
that case, however, the license of
the operator should be revoked en-
tirely not merely regulated as
to hours.
We have a police force.
If they are capable of handling
the local situation up until 2
o'clock in the morning, they GER
tainly should be able to handle the
smaller number of people who con-
tinue to drink after that hour.
The guy who is going to get drunk
and cause trouble can do just as
good a job at three in the after
noon as he can at three in the
morning.
No one In Key West has backed
the churches more than I have.
But in this instance, I think they
are wrong.
I've knocked around this old
world in quite few places and
I'm yet to see guy gets anymore
than he asked for when he entered
a place that sells whiskey. The
best of lounges can get rough -
depending on the patron The
worst of them viii offer . quiet
corner where a fellow can commit
suicide gradually by pouring the
extract OF rotten grain or fruit
down his throat.

Two More
Women Held
In Probe

NEW YORK R- Two more
women, their identities mystery,
had roles here in a widening cafe
society vice probe which officials
say may bring more arrests and
involve more s'big Names"
The women - one blonde, the
other brunette, and both young =
were questioned Monday night at
the district attorneys office in the
investigation which already has
shared young heir, a wealthy
dress manufacturer, a self-styled
actor, and others.
After the two women left the
office early today accompanied by
a patrolman. Assistant District At
torney Anthony j. Liebler declined
to disclose their names.
He said they were "new to the
case" and that immediate an
nouncement of their identities
might ruin something we are
working on"
Both women hid their faces be-
hind newspapers with peep holes
cut to see through.
It was not known where they
were taken.
Questioning of the two women
climaxed day during which a
grand jury began to examine the
separate vice cases against Minot
F. Jelke, %, heir to an oleomar-
garine fortune, and against Sam
uel Chapman, Sc, dress manufac-
turer and ex husband OF noted
designer Cell Chapman.
% The day also saw the arrest Of
self styled movie actor. Rich
ard Short, 80, on charges of liv-
ing off the earnings of "a pros
titute known as Pat Thompson. !"
A % year old blonde named
Pat Thompson had been questioned
over most of the weekend and fl
nally was held in $4,000 bail as
a material witness.
''In their arrangement Of con
venience, in exchange for love and
affection from him, she gave him
at least $500 weekly" the prose-
cutor's office said.
Liebler said last week that call
girls involved in the cases had fees
ranging up to $500 a night.
Short, also known as Richard
Wallace, claimed he had played in
the Danny Kaye movie, "The Kid
from Brooklyn" But the produc-
ers of the film said they had no
record of Short.
Chapman, arrested Saturday
night and free in 5000 bail, was
charged with procuring prostitutes,
without fee to himself, as a favor
to business and cafe society
friends. He also was charged with
possessing a Topographic art col
lection. His case is not connected
with Jelke's.
Both Chapman and Jelke have
denounced the charges as silly"

HAL
BOYLE
SAYS
sv HAL BOYLE

BY HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK R-Every Ameri-
can boy has a chance to grow up
to be President of the United
States.
And many a doting mother would
like to help her offspring get the
job.
s'But how" she asks herself,
despairingly. "How can I rear my
boy to be PRESIDENT"
She knows how to train him to
become a doctor or a mechanic.
But what every mother ought to
know she doesn't know--how to
train him for the White House.
And If she sets out unguided
she can waste a lot of time and
effort. She might, for example, GO
to the trouble of getting him born
in a log cabin, when this is no
longer politically necessary. As a
matter of fact, the average voter
today is downright suspicious of a
candidate who was born in a log
cabin. He thinks that is carrying
the whole thing too far.
What a wise mother can do, is
to try as much as possible to make
junior an All-America boy who
appeals to all sections of the
country. She might arrange to have
him born in the rural area of a
big farm state such as Illinois,
spend his boyhood in California,
and begin his career in New York.
He should be educated in the
South, say at the University Of
North Carolina, and then take a
low decree from Harvard Univer-
sity. His vacations should be spent
WORKING at different job.
in different states OF
ranch In Wyoming, in an auto
factory in Michigan, aboard a
shrimp boat of Louisiana.
Early in life she should teach
junior how to talk with his
mouth full of pebbles, how
to fish, and how to play some
musical instrument. The best one
is the tuba, as every man would
like to be able to blow a tuba.
Junior also ought to always have
a dog as pet, to show his love
of animals, and made to marry
girl who likes cats.
A wise mother will see that junior
does fairly well in school, but not
too well. The voters are uneasy
about a candidate who is too in
telligent, and contemptuous Of one
! who is too dumb.
The careful mother viii also be
aware of ''the doctrine of prophetic
remarks" This is the theory that
all Presidents, even as boys, fore
saw the grave problems of the
future.
AS the biggest problem likely to
face most Americans in the next
generation is where to park their
motor car, the thoughtful mother
could well have junior, as lisp
ing lad of five. look at q traffic
jam and repeat after her:
"Some day ! am going to strike
a real blow at all this"
This will make a wonderful
anecdote for his campaign bio
graphy.
Now all the mother must do
before launching junior into poll.
tics is to have him enlist for three
years as an Army private, then
finance him in a small but success
full business that makes a modest
profit and gives its employees nine
weeks vacation a year and a bonus
at Christmas.
How can junior escape the
presidency now? Everybody will
love him-fishermen, farmers,
laborers, capitalists, war veterans,
=. eanciers, dog collectors, hobby
insists Fasteners Westerners,
10. sneners, Southerners.
No, there is one thing more.
Junior will have to learn how to
cook. It's manly today. And no
housewife Is likely to vote to send
q man to the White House that
wouldn't know his way around the
kitchen.
