Hobby Shéw the Employee Activities Group sored at the 740 8. Alabama 81. plant, took the chill that I carried tor_several years hobbies.

to look at his collection of tle caps in the first place escapes me at the’ moment. I'm’ sure

the word bottle had something to do with it:

He had milk bottle ‘caps from every state In ‘the union and Canada. Two. hours, hours they , of bottle caps convinced me that any man hobby shauld have his head examined. ! Individuals with bottle caps in their possession ‘should ‘be “taken away.” For years the word hobby would send me to the" ‘nearest coal bin where I would spend anywhere from two » ‘three Buty, getting back my composure, .

The Spoiled Pup

' NEW YORK, Apr. 26—A long time ago I did 8 story gbout a dachshund named Moss Rose, a cantankerous little beast who had delusions of being a composite John Dillinger and John L. Lewis. I have recently visited Mossy, and Se Lewis likeness is even more strikingly apparent. The publicity has gone to Mossy’s little snaky head. Eve sites he got, His 24s in the papers, Je has become increasingly ° a ® God-complex now; not unlike Mr. Lewis’, -in-addi--tion to_his other defects of personality. Mossy thinks he’s got beyond a cuff on the tail, ‘We have observed, by our handling of Old _Bramblebrow—as evinced by the indefinite post- " ponement of his civil contempt penalties at government order—that a steady diet of whim-driven power is a dangerous thing.

An Indian Smiles

WASHINGTON, Apr. 26—If you don’t think Congress is a deliberative body, just ask a Navajo ndian. He'll tell you that the lawmakers are starting to think; exactly 80 years late; about beginning to keep some of the promises they made in 1868. That was the year.that the government signed a treaty with the Navajos. They agreed to move to a reservation in New Mexico; the Congress in turn promised to start them on the road to Amer“Yean citizenship in fact as well as in theory. As of today 80 per cent of the Navajos can't even speak English, , Last winter, you may remember, so many

. of them came so near. to starving that the Gov-

ernment and the Red Cross had to rush_in relief shipments of féod and clothing. Tbat may have been a break for the patient Red men-—at that. Congress at. long, long last was conscience stricken. And so it J" ‘that the Senate has -before it a bill which would spend $90 million in the next 10 years orf Navajo roads, schools and other essentials the rest of us take as a matter of course.

Only one looked like an Indian is supposed to look in the pictyre magazines. He was an elderly Citizen and a little portly in a grass-colored suit, a deep red shirt, a pink bow tie and ear-rings of turquoise dangling from his pierced ear-lobes. His hair was long and clasped neatly at the back of his head in what 1 believe the ladies call a barette of silver.
