Highly Unusual

EL PASO, Tex., Mar. 24—The leaves turn funny colors and the fish are dying and the oysters are sick. People ‘see strange shapes in the sky?® the weather is horrible, and frankly, I am not feeling so good, either, I think my molecules have been disarranged. I have recently lived through a couple of days of Texas sand storm which the natives say is highly unusual. It isn’t unusual at all. Somebody just told the sand, and the wind that I was coming to town, and they set to work immediately. This has been a great trip, so far. It seems to me that the object of my quest, when I departed New York a couple of months back, was to see if the sun had been totally destroyed. I was going to say goodby to snow; I was going to chuckle selfishly as I journeyed, ostensibly to labor, but really to get warm. ' Let me see. T went to Chapel Hill; N. C., and during the week 'I was there it snowed 14 inches. People said it was highly unusual. It didn’t snow in Birmingham, Ala., although the weather man kept saying it was supposed to snow. It just rained. And blew, And rained some more. And a friend of mine, with whom I was riding, got arrested for reckless driving. The cop was in a bad temper and said riding along at 18 miles an hour in the rain and fog constituted reckless driving. That was highly unusual, too.

A Friend Tipped Me Off

NOTHING MUCH. happened in Mississippi except it rained and the typewriter quit under fire. The bell boy took it to the repair shop and forgot to go after it before the shop closed. He said he would send it to me in New Orleans, where I was headed. Except I went to Memphis. This is what comes of trusting bell boys. The one that put my bags on the train said sure, this train went to New Orleans but the engineer didn’t hear him. The engineer was busy driving the train to Chicago, and the only reason I didn’t go to New Orleans from Mississippi by way of Chicago is that some kind friend tipped me off. I suppose Memphis Is all right, but it sure is lonesome in the middle of a cold night. Login

steering of loose eggs. Oh, I'm a cad, all right. I'remember one woman in particular. She was following some joker who wasn’t paying any attention to what was in front of him. He rolled over with a terrible crunch. The woman driver, in a much older model, was next. I fully expected a couple of fenders to fall off. The baling wire must have been new.

The look that came over the woman's face] §

was good enough for “The Picture of the Week” in Life, I don’t know what went through her mind but I'll bet she thought her wheels came off. The Sunday driver was good for a lot of laughs, too. Can you imagine the feeling you get when your whole family has its eye teeth shaken loose and you have to restrain yourself? ; Trolley drivers soon became pretty cagey. They’d either go down the middle of the road or ease the trolley over the spots. What a time you could have with a candid mike. A few weeks ago, building blocks were tamped into place. The benefits from that effort lasted fully four days. Then I was back in my old spot, morning and evening, watching for expressions)

on people’s faces. Also, counting the many reasons| #

why I was better off not owning an automobile. To give you an idea of how hard some drivers smacked the chuckhole, one man lost a hub cap. True, a situation like that ceases to be amusing. At the present prices dealers are asking for new cars, there’s no use hurrying “old faithful” to the junkyard. v All in all, T have Mr. Carter's word for it that concrete will flow into the ditches. Since I live right around the corner, I'm go to keep a close) check on the project. I think two months of watching a couple of chuckholes is enough. How about it, you drivers on N. Pennsylvania?

Albuquerque was great. It only snowed three or four times in one week—highly unusual weather —and I didn’t get gored by any livestock. I mention this because I almost got et up by a tame bull in Houston. At least the man who owned him said

I asked him why he climbed the fence so fast, if the bull was tame.

You Mine the Atmosphere

WHICH BRINGS us to El Paso, the City of Sunshine. El Paso has been having a rough time. It snowed on New Year's Day and the Mayor threatened to jump off the bridge into the Rio Grande. And now they have sand storms. A sand storm is the Texas equivalent to April shower, and it means you have to mine the atmosphere with a pick before you can breathe. Highly unusual, tho

I t a watch here. Prettiest watch you ever did see. The only thing wrong with it is that the hands run backward. This means that the only time I get even with Father Time is at noon and midnight. Highly unusual watch. .

To date I have been appointed an bonorary\:

Texan and an assistant mayor and, I think, a colonel in New Mexico. I have had sinus and only the slightest touch of food poisoning. The pegs are coming through the soles of my solid platinum cowboy boots, I have begun to moult my musatche and my wife went to Mexico and won't come home because she says she doesn’t want to bring foot and mouth disease into the United States and they have inflation in Mexico, too. It seems to me I have had about enough of this sun-chasing and gay adventure on the open road. After stop off in New Orleans to look for my typewriter and find out how the sick oysters are coming along, I think I will go back to New York for a spell. But one thing I will bet you: It will be snowing when I step off the plane—provided,

' “And we try to inject just a little bit of humor in all these courses,” Mr. Marks continued, showing the Senators colored cartoons of citizens stumbling on torn carpets, slipping on shiny floors, and falling off of shaky scaffoldings. As I say, Mr. Marks talked fast. It is my personal opinion that he put up a persuasive argument, but then I'm not a member of the Appropriations Committee. Those Senators, led by Sen. William F.
