She's easier.” But no one is going to Miss Whoosis’' class. That's the un fortunate part of the first day of} school. And the rest that follow. Junior is trapped by a system Everyone knows the system is for the best but try and tell Junior. Miss Whatsis tells the class what she expects from every student, how she conducts her classes, the books ‘that will be required, and last but not least, “We can all have fun while That's it. By the time Miss Whatsis is through talking every little head in the classroom is wondering if she'll dismiss the class soon. ' Just oné more afternoon at the park with the baseball and Shep and the gang. Oh, to have the summer just beginning instead of ending.

She Has a Job to Do MISS WHATSIS doesn't let the class off that easy. She has a job to do. What better way to get acquainted wtih her charges than having them write a theme, “Now class we're going to write a short paper. I trust you all have paper and pencils, All those who haven't, raise your hands. Oh, my goodness. Well, we'll see that you all get pencils and paper. Let me remind you to have your own after this.” Nineteen years ago in a similar situation I was handed a short pencil without an eraser and three sheets of theme paper. My buddies, “Hack, “Jenkins,” and “Smitty” also reached for supplies. We were all sitting close together. But tomorrow, when teacher would seat the class alphabetically, we'd be scattered all over the room. Hand signals and spitballs would be the only fheans of keeping in touch with each other. “Write won anything you: particularly enjoyed during vacation,” teacher said. “Write about a trip you took with *your family or sometihng you did which stands out in your mind.

Miracle in Style

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—My bride came home wearing an embarrassed expression and a new-style dress. Poor gal. A ‘Her frock was a plack satin job, with a ruMy business down the front, _twists of cloth something like

"knots in the region of the hips, and a long skirt. She

wore it with black stockings, high-heeled shoes, and a trick black hat I won't attempt to describe. She looked different, all right. But truth is truth. I thought she also looked pret-/ ty doggone pretty. And there she stood, apologizing. Said she knew she looked funny. Bit her lip. Stared in the mirror. Offered to take her new dress back to tHe store if I believed she looked like (her word) a frump. * Fellow husbands, I was honest about it. I told her it was one of the nicest dresses she'd ever bought, kissed her on the nose, put my arm around her shoulders and—hey—a miracle happened. That was woman I felt under the satin; not sponge rubber or quilted horse~hair. No shoulder pads.

A Pleasant Shock : THIS WAS a pleasant shock. Almost as long as I can remember her shoulders have felt like a stuffed elk’s. And looked like they belonged on the Notre Dame backfield. If this style catches on, gentlemen, it’s going to be a pleasure to put your arms around your wives,

Noiseless Popcorn Bag

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8.—San Francisco has three famous world wonders today—its two colossal bridges and a noiseless popcorn bag for movie theater patrons.

I made a quick flying trip from Hollywood to pre-,

view what I think is the greatest film entertainment invention since talkies. The noiseless popcorn bag was sensational, For the first time in years people will be-able to hear what Clark Gable is saying to Lana Turner, instead of missing it all because of fhe deafening crackle of popcorn bags. I made the trip despite Abe Burrows’ crack at the airport: “A noiseless popcorn bag? Hooéy. Tell 'em to make ’em noisier. I can still hear the dialog.”

Greatest Since Sound BUT ABE is a fellow who doesn't like popcorn, anyway, so I just ignored him. Millions of people do like popcorn, and apparently they only like Yt- when the Misters Gable, Flynn or Power are whispering things into a lovely lady's ear. Some day I'm going to ask a psychiatrist about that. The greatest invention since sound~the noiseless popcorn bag—was discovered by a fellow named Irving M. Levin, district manager for an independent San Francisco theater chain. I found Mr. Levin—my nomination for the man of the year—in the lobby of the Balboa theater in

In Nashville, one of the hardware stores is operated by a retired metropolitan newspaper editor. Ralph Burkholder, former editor of The Indianapolis Times, sald he didn’t think land prices had risen in Brown County any more than anywhere else in Indiana.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Approach of $1 a dozen eggs finds the government still owning 138 million dozen in dried and frozen form. It purchased them during the spring and early summer te keep prices to farmers up to 33 and 35 cents a dozen. Agriculture department officials say they gradually may pour back the 48 million dozen frozen eggs they hold into the domestic trade at no loss. They are reluctant to say flatly what they'll do with these eggs for fear of jarring the frozen-egg market. Dumping these eggs, they say, would not help the city consumer by driving prices down, because it would not affect the shell-egg market, It would only harm processors and dealers who have paid high prices for frozen eggs.

Frozen eggs are used chiefly by bakers. The, gov-

ernment’s frozen eggs are broken and packed in 31-pound containers. As compared to last year, the trade this year is short of frozen eggs by an amount approximately the same as that held by the government.

Officials Not Worried :

DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS say they are not worried either about disposing of the 90 million dozen

__ eggs in powdered form, which they hold.

Although the British have stopped buying, our

accept them. Numerous surveys have indicated that, | but none was conducted when shell eggs were ap-| proaching the $1 mark. The dried eggs also would not be cheap if they | were placed on the domestic market because, under | the law, the department cannot sell them at less than 100 per cent of “parity. Latest parity on eggs was 51 cents a dozen. This would make dried eggs sell for well over $1.50 a pound, counting the retailer's markup. Three dozen shell eggs make a pound of dried eggs.

Had Looked fo England

THE DEPARTMENT BOUGHT most of its sup-port-purchased eggs in dried form because it expected to dispose of the entire surplus to Britain as it did last year when Britain bought over 300 million dozen. But Britain stopped buying this year after it got only 114 million dozen. An additional 24 million dozen support-purchased eggs have been disposed of through the school-lunch program. This Jot is to be used only in cooking. Next year the department expects to buy mostly shell eggs in its support operations. ® The government is required by law to buy eggs in large enough ‘amounts to keep prices to farmers up fo.at. least 90 per cent of parity. This law expires Dec. 31, 1948, and the Republican congress next year will have to decide whether to retain government support of eggs| and mostPother farm commodities. | : Before it stopped buying in July, the government had purchased 277 million dozen eggs this year to, support prices.
