DEAR ABBY: My child
made q low grade on a test at
school and the teacher wrote
across his paper-"THIS IS
A D1SGRACE!" Abby, I
want to ask you is it a dis
grace to get a low grade?
Do you suppose the teacher
knows the meaning Of the
word "DISGRACE?"
My child is deeply hurt.
To the extent Of not wanting
to continue school. I am
heartsick. I've talked with
some people about it and
they said I should report her
to the principal. But I'm
afraid he will call the teach
er on the carpet and she will
be harder on my child.
How should we handle this
problem?

FAMOUS FABLES

BY E. E. EDGAR

WAR MING: Baseball
Slugger Hack Wilson's career
was shortened by his drink
ing. a fact which he realized
better than anyone else. To
other players. especially the
youngsters coming up, he
preached the evils of liquor.
One night, when he was
rooming with q rookie, he
staggered into the hotel room
in a sorry condition. He
thrust a bottle of whisky into
the rockies hand and said:
Have a drink, sonny"
mo thanks. Mr.. Wilson,"
said the rookie. II don't
drink"
II said have a drink"
ordered Wilson.
The rookie took one look at
Wilson's bullying biceps and
decided to play along with
him. He lifted the bottle to
his lips. AS he did so Wilson
knocked it out of his hand.
Didn't I tell you to lay
off that stuff" he growled.
Don't ever let me catch you
doing that again!"

The rare first edition, first
issue, Of Daniel Defoe's
classic Robinson Crusoe"
offers an interesting example
how rare book values some
times fluctuate.
In general. important
books tend to gradually in

years. Collecting fads, how
ever, can result in sudden
and startling price increases
and declines.
The market behavior of

such an erratic pattern. The
first edition reached its peak
in the sale of Jerome Kern's
library in 1929, when it
brought $11,500. More close

THE LYONS DEN
Baby, It's Cold Up There
By LEONARD LYONS

NEW YORK.-When the late
Sen. Neuberger was an Army
captain, serving in northern
Alaska, he wrote me about the
weather there: "They told me
when the shaving lotion freezes,
it's 80 below; when the anti
septic solution freezes, it's so
below; when scotch freezes, it's
65 below and the anti-freeze
mixture freezes at 70 below. I
asked at what point gasoline
freezes, and the man said, at
81. But don't worry about that;
because you freeze at IL"
In describing his first day IN
the US. Senate he said to his
wife: Everything was the dis
tinguished this and the illus
trious that. It's like when you
buy olives at the supermarket;
even the tiniest olive is referred
to as colossal"
I first met him 18 years ago.
when a friend from Oregon
wrote me that Neuberger was
coming to New York and asked
that I show him some of the
city sights. I took the. visitor
from the Northwest on a tour
of the night clubs, from mid
night till dawn. Neuberger said:
