We have come to the con-

PRICES
Modern business methods
have made some startling
changes. For instance, it has
made it possible to put $40
worth of groceries in a peck
sack.
JAIL
Prisoners are about the
most courteous persons you'll
find anywhere. Hardly a day
goes by that they don't say
Pardon me-" (and to which
the warden usually answers
mot at all.")
EDUCATION
AS further proof that john
ny can't read, we offer this
testimony. one high school
graduate asked, Father will
you read my diploma to fne ?"
TOYS
Toys are big business. Max
ers expect to sell ST, 10000
600 worth this year and bill
lion dollars worth of toys is
lot of toys even at these
prices. If Old Santa is a busi-
ness man we can't understand
why he doesn't move from the

VIEWPOINT
Tyranny results from the
willingness of the people to
hire government to do the job
for which they themselves
should be responsible.
LIVING
The best things in life are
free. but it takes about fif-
ey years and forty thousand
dollars to learn this simple
fact.
SPACE
Time changes everything.
Nowadays when one gun
singer tells another to get out
of Texas by sundown he can
do it,

about the husband who hadn't
had a vacation alone for over
twenty years. he couldn't

SCIENCE
The Scientists tell us that

PEEVE
One of our pet peeves is the
person who, when you ask
him how he is, tells us.

The only familiar sights OF
athe Nations Capita. in the
Nations Capital this week will
be it's marble buildings.
The halls of Congress will
be empty: the Executive Man
sion will be a headless house,
and the Government depart
mentS will be operating quietly
without their chiefs.
Any one wishing to wheel or
deal with the United States
Government would do better to
go to California this week be-
cause that is where the Ameri-
can leaders will be at some
time or other.
President and Mrs. Eisen-
hover will leave for San Fran
cisco on Wednesday. AS plans
stand now they will spend that

Mr.. Samuel F. B. Morse of
the famous Morse code family.
Just when the Eisenhowers

fact that the President will
not take an extended holiday
has. AS plans stand now, Mrs.

Now 80, Durando was floored
early in the round as Defends

furry of punches. Ernie got up
at seven, took the automatic
eight-count, then ran straight
into a hard right from the
Brooklyn youngster that dropped
him fiat on his face. He was
counted out at 2:37.
Angelo now shows a record of
II victories. one loss and a draw
