These two sentences are, of course, in

more than $4,000 columns, 1000 sets Of verse,
upward of 1000 magazine articles-plus
what he termed radio outbursts for 80

ironing! So say the ladies. bless them:
we would all be dirty savages without
them.
Before his bus came, Templeton Jones
had time to think the following
thoughts:
That what is the matter with the
world today is not the bombs. as ter
rible as they are, or radio waves, or
other outward influences.
No, what has happened is that the
worst features of the human animal
have had in this century their first OPP
portunity to come to the fore.
With what results, is plain to all.
From juvenile delinquency. to wars and
threats of wars. the human war world
is feeling its oats, to use the plain
old country saying.
There have been ages before when
the same thing happened, in q lesser
degree. After many years. the whole
shook down. at least for a time. to a
more stable and more sensible state
Of things.
We are going through such a period
now.
What is happening is bigger than
any one person, larger than any group
Of persons.
AS for the individual, he is lost.
except for his hold on the eternal
verities.
His sun may seem. at times. in
the wrong place. but 1t is stu there.

The American public. generally speak
ing, may be considered motley collec-
ton of infantile boobs. Faced with
rising coffee prices. the boob does not
turn to tea or milk. but continues to
pay high prices for an unnecessary
luxury. Coffee prices continue to rise.
Faced with irresponsible or deliberately
dishonest answers from the Air Force
in regard to flying saucers, the boob
continues to believe the Air Force.
Faced with the trouble making Of a
rabble rouser from Wisconsin. the boob
continues to believe that this Napoleon
will lead us out of the wilderness. even
though it means the destruction Of
our Government and the shelving of
our Constitution.
Although never consulted, the Ameri-
can boob feels that American partici-
patton in the Indo- China war is ac-
ceptable. because the enemy is OF
darker skin and has a different kind
of government and religion. The boob
doesn't want to see Japs move into
Alaska or the West Coast but he feels
it is all right for Americans to move
into Indo-China. especially since the
Americans are paid well for moving in
and squeezing the natives out. The

perch are to be distinguished, Of course, from
the fish that disappear during both the day and
night as far as some fishermen are concerned)
The ocean perch problem is primarily a
New England one in the sense that they are
caught in the Atlantic waters of that area But
there are comparably strange and unexplained
behavior patterns among other fish-in the Pa

idea Of some Government financed research
The legislative proposal is to divert 30 per cent
of the annual customs receipts on fish imports
to finance a. study of these problems by the
Interior Department It is estimated that about
81 million would be available under this for
mula. If it should come back to the consumer
taxpayers in the form of price savings, it isn't
such bad idea.

Symbols on Cunul Locks

1t may be helpful to Col. D. H. Gill
lette, assistant executive director Of
the Commission on the Renovation of
the Executive Mansion, and to others
interested in tracing the origin and
meaning of the symbols found at the
Great Falls locks and in White House
masonry to know that the original
stone for both of these projects came
from the same quarries.
Our records show that the White
House and the canal locks, as we'll as
many other early Washington struc-
lures. were built of stone from our
quarries on Aqua Creek, Stafford
County, Virginia, approximately 80
miles below the District. Perhaps the
symbols originated at our quarries in
stead of directly at each of the two
projects as was suggested in your ar
ticle. 1t is probable that the stone was
carved at the quarries before being sent
by boat up the Potomac to Washing
ton, and that the Washington masons
set the stone without doing any carving
as Col. Gillette believes.

men do not want to work any more

Must be the bomb" said Jones to
himself
If he had varied his time. as many
persons do, he would not have known
just where the old sun should have
been.
Jones is sort of minuteman.
You can set your clock by his COM
ings and goings, and no doubt many
persons do.
There goes that man with the big
ears" says the lady behind the lace
curtains. 1T must be exactly 1880
o'clock"
What is wrong with the next to last
sentence?
Simply. that there are no more lace
curtains. The old-fashioned sort, that
is. Now home with 80 windows takes
fortune to curtain it.
The very latest in 'tie-backs' is this.
strictly for our lady readers:
You don't iron them.
Expressions Of horror. What, you
don't iron them?"
No. indeed. Just put them up un-
ironed, they look just as good, and you
save lot of time and work.
Ironing. after all, is the worst Of all
household work. according to some
sentiments Templeton Jones hears.
