Well Up On the Answers
AFTER THE first ptich, a quiz was held and you'd be surprised how well children knew the answers. A lot of their ety knowledge came from home, you could tell that. When the subject of a talking police car was brought up many laughed and giggled but were
as the car sald “Hello, boys and girls,” there was magic in the air. The talking police car impressed them some more with simple, plain stories of safety in the streets. The children promised the talking police car to be careful all the time. They also invited the police car to come back. About the same thing was

Don’t Buy a Cow
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27—1It is a good thing that Clarabelle, the Othman cow, can’t read the financial pages. She: would. be a ‘discontented Guernsey. - When we bought her and put her in a field.of clover, the best butter cost $1.10 per pound at the corner. grocer’s.: Clarabelle immediately ‘went to work, turning the clover into milk, which my bride and an electric churn turned into butter, which maybe cost $9 per pound, counting labor, amortization, high-protein feed and other hidden charges. Now, six months later, dollar butter is only a horrid memory. Same can be bought in most groceries at 75 cents, the future trend seems downward, and poor Clarabelle has become what the financiers call an uneconomic installation. If butter gets down to 60 cents a pound retail, as seems entirely possible, then the only logical fate for Clarabelle is beefsteaks. She is, however, a cow with personality. She also is scheduled to become a eugenic mother in the sprifg, providing the Fairfax County Artificial Breeders’ Association, Inc.,, made no mistakes. So logic doesn’t apply. I love that cow. As long as I can I zhall support her in the luxury to which she has become accustomed.
Maybe, We'll Have to Eat Margarine

This wholesome, nutritious product, which is made largely of soybean and cotton seed oil, used to gell for around 40 cents a pound. It still does, for reasons which I don't rightly understand.

ALL THE BIG trouble in ‘Berlin began during one of the political conventions—I1 disremember which—in Philadelphia, and the crisis: had heen full-blown for a week before most people discovered it. Reason: Speeches by Clare Luce or somebody hogged the major sections of the news. Nobody was reading anything but yarns about how hot ‘and stupid it was in Philadelphia.

We have become so blunted, so overstuffed with dripping red meat that we purposely flee to the past simplicities.
