~ "ERICH BRANDEIS It’s too hot today to bo sensible, so here g , K' s for a lot of nonsense. As part of the 150-year anniversary of the Oity of Burton, Ohio, residents have been askc 1 to write their honest opinior. about their neighbors and put the.n in sealed envelopes. These envelopes will be put in a metal box whieh will be buriro and is not to be opened for a hundred years. I do hope that Burtonian wii! get at that box while whatever neighbor about whom he or she expressed an opinion is sl'il alive. Otherwise, there may not be a single Burtonian left long before the hundred years are up. (By the way, to show you how up-to-date this column is. I just found the clipping of this item in one of my ‘idea folder i.’

It is dated June 14. 194S Which shews you that I am only a yea- behind in my news.) In the City of Boston, Mass., a law has been proposed that for the first violation of an automobile ordinance a fifty-cent fine is to be imposed. That fine is to be doubled with every offense. Thus, the twenty-second fine would bo $1,048,570. A mere trifle to rich people .,r.ch as you and I. Here is another year-old item I hat I got out of that folder. Last year about this time, a bill was introduced in Congress providing for the better care of elephants. The bill declared that many elephants being shipped here from India arrived in Winter, "partieally unprotected from the icy salt-waves which broke over them." The elephants, the bill said, "were white with salt, shivering and moaning and very neadeath." , I don’t know what was done about it. But if it got the same Congressional treatment ns a lot of bills for the protection of us humans who are “shivering and moaning’ ’over high taxes and such, it is probably burled somewhere and will never be passed.

A London England magistrate decided some time ago that it is perfectly peimissible for a husband to chastise a recalcL - ant wife, provided tne cane louses is “no thicker than a man’.i little finger.” A London cane amr umbrella merchant tolu a reporter recently that there has been no demand for suitable canes sine, the magistrate's decision, although lie pig in a plentiful stock and advertised "canes legal for uxorial punishment." That same type of canes, h-' added, have been used for years by farmers for the herding of lattle and in schools for the disciplining of pupils.

Their second g’hanee for a Broadway show came shortly aft -rwards, and they took It. It was a show for The Elks of Shelhy ville, located on Broadway Street. Most remeinliered show was Bloomington where people stayed away lit hig crowds . . .
