The Japanese beetle is candidly recognized as a thing of beauty; but It is no joy forever. It is getting so an endurance flight lasts as long as a 12-pmjnd baked ham in a family of three. We guess will power is where yon resist the impulse to take a course in developing the will power. We are still suspicious when actresses and society women report the j theft of expensive jewelry. Steamship pilots speak of speed in terms of a few hundred miles. And aviators smile superciliously. ‘‘Tampa, Fla., is now seeking new names for 400 streets.” Don't any pull man cars come into Tampa? The man who had his motorless airplane stolen will sympathize with the fellow who mislaid his bass drum. When the doctor told the Office Skeptic to say ••Ah!” he asked. “Why? Have you done something wonderful?" Dora says Just as her big brother was about to get into the big money they reduced the size of the dollar bills. A breed of chickens without wings has been evolved, and the next thing . will be to raise one with built-in stuf- i ting. Learn a new thing a day: The first man to climb Mt. Washington (altitude 6.288 feet) in the winter was a sheriff serving a writ. “Ride a bicycle,” says an ad in a British weekly, "aml see the country." Or ride a high bicycle and meet the people upstairs. It Is anhealthy, says a Chicago doctor, to suppress a laugh. It is very healthy to work for a boss who never < tells anecdotes. A Rochester engraver has written 4,000 words on a postal card. Our rates I for reading such a postal card aloud would be prohibitive. “1 think I see a shark!” cried the ocean flyer to his worried companion. “Uh, huh? Well —call me when you think you see a cow.” There are horrors of war yet to be recounted: So far. no writer has described hot coffee in the United States army noninsulated canteen cup. In Paris they are talking about lengthening women’s skirts to the shoe tops. But Paris may find that its man dates no longer operate in America. In 1931: “Charles D. Gadget, twen-ty-two, who dropped out of sight seven weeks ago. was found today to have been engaged in an air endurance flight." Next to sitting down in a strange bathtub on a magnetized tin fish, per- ; hays the hollowest sensation is step- i ping on a whistling pig in a darkened j hallway. We should like to be advised whether the New York preacher who thinks ' there was more dignity in the old-time j courting ever fell out of an old-time hammock. “An African explorer found an American typewriter in the council : house of a jungle chief.” It is not said which of his favorite wives was ; wearing the ribbon “A New York jewel house is dis- ; playing a necklace of square-cut dia- ; monds and emeralds, priced at $650,000.” But we weren't even windowshopping for one. In 1940: “A statesman in Washing- I ton finds himself in an amusing qnan dary. He is a member of two govern- I meat commissions which are invest!- I gating one another.” After years of experiment, an Omaha poultry fancier has evolved a new type of chicken without wings, which means that father will have to go without h's en<tomarv portion. A boy in a New York school has been expelled, his teachers claiming he is incapable of te'ling the truth. This is unfortunate: A future writer of biographies needs some education. We don't know, at that, hut what we would rather have been the hero who ate the first oyster than the one who tested the first parachute. A household advisor suggests boiling new clothespins before putting them into use. We are afraid though, this would result in asparagus. A “music typewriter” for the tran- ! scription of notes has been perfected. Will “Now is the time for ail good men to come to the aid of the party” । become a campaign song? The world moves ahead, in spite <.f all. and It has been all of three months since we heard anyone even try to talk like the Two Black (.'rows. Overheard on the bus: "Yeah he’s the kind of a fellow who would be out looking for four leaf clovers when opportunity knocked at the door.” An argument i< on in th. Now YorkTimes as to whe' .er t o southern “you-all” Is singula i oi plural. A Southerner has uikbn hi Hu it is the same as Ilie New York use."
