From where’ I sit. . . Joe Marsh

Imst Saturday ninht we were settin’ around Jeb Crowell's house, and from upstairs we hear the squawks those Crowell youngsters put up while their Ma was dunkin' ’em in soap and water. Causes Jeb to romment: "Just shows how times change. Used to he a law here in America that nobody could take a bath without a doctor’s prescription!”

Then we got talking about the funny laws some people have put through in this rountry—like the state where they made it against the law to wake a man up if he’s sleeping on the railroad tracks. ''Railroad law I once heard about," says Basil Strobe, the stationmaster, “said when two trains meet at an intersection, neither can proceed until the other one

has gone abend.’’ “How could that asks Pete Swnnson. don’t make sense.”

he a law?” “That just

hold for tolerance and understanding. And yet it wasn’t so long ago we hnd a law of Prohibition. Account for that, if you ran."

Well, he had us there. Hereto America—where we set bo much store on seein’ the other fellow’s point of view—havin’ such a law. Vow that it’s all over, it’a hard to realize how people put up with a law like that, even as long as they did.

From where 1 sit, a man's got every right to enjoy a aatjsfyin' glass of beer when he wrfnts to iiuench his thirst. Beer’s a friendlf drink. H’a a drink of moderation, too. And most folks—even the ones that ion'l drink beer themselvea— ore tolerant enough, nowadays, to respect the rights of folks who do. I reckon Jeb was right —we’vte bad some mighty strange lews in this rountry.

F. D. R. Economy Tip: Take Your Pay in a Check WASHINGTON, Oct 21 (API President Rcoscvelt, who has had some experience with finances, offers this economy hint: Take your salary in check, not in cash. The President explained to a press conference yesterday that when he was a navy department executive in 1914, he took his pay in cash, put it in his pocket and later did not know where it went

Complaints began to i ise tit homo about paying the grocery bills, he added, so he began taking his salary in check and depositing it in the bank. He withdrew about $5 for his own use each week. Furthermore, the President added, the person getting paid by c>.ck is more likely to buy War bonds than one who gets his salary in cash.
