But what’s time to a Communist? “These.” complained the druggist’s son to his new bride, “are not like the l»es that father used to make.” Corset factories are humming. The B d’ped-in waist will enable some of the imigij- manufacturers to let out their belts. "e understand that anything above ’ the seventv-tifth floor in New York’s I new superskyscrapers is considered ■ upstate. T requently the most serious hin- ! France to success the reformer meets : is his own incapacity to be moderate i and reasonable. A musician in Chicago actually lost i a bass drum, in a taxicab. Not only I that; we see where a receiver of a ■ New York cab company lost 24 taxi- ' cabs. The direct-by-mail technique is so highly developed nowadays that the typed greeting looks so much like the body of the letter it all seems mimeographed. We told the last young man who was । working his way through one of our i large universities that we were signed j up till 1970 on all the magazines we i cared for. We encountered a barber not long since who seemed to have dunked the hair-cutting course in barber college, but certainly rated an A in public speaking. Somebody has been awarded the O. Henry prize for the year’s best short story. Imagine, just getting a 10 cent candy bar for a tine piece of literature. The city of Elkhorn, Wis., has so much money in its treasury, the disposal of the surplus is a problem. Elkhorn is too far from Chicago, it seems, to be annexed. Clog dancing tends to break down the fatty tissues around the ankles, says a medical writer. We remember a case, in an apartment, where it broke a lease. We feel quite a bit refreshed since a European scientist lias undertaken to list the few physicists who understand the Einstein theories, and omits Doctor Einstein. “China revolt ended.” Good news, if true; but the Chinese have been fighting in a circle for so long that it is doubtful if they have discovered away of squaring it. In the gradual process of making a new household appliance silent, ordinarily taking about five years, there comes an interlude when it sounds like a crooning band leader. A Harvard astronomer has measured an electron less than a millionth of a millionth of an inch in diameter. The next thing is to find some one to engrave the Lord's Prayer on the head of it. Motor speed laws, says an eastern authority, are broken most often by doctors, ministers and traveling salesmen. A slight like this must be very humiliating to all drivers of U. S. mail trucks. A banker writing in the American Magazine says “a college education sets a man back three or four years.” Why speak vaguely of “a man"? Why not come out frankly, and say “Fa ther”? It’s a sort of tradition of the trade that cobblers are poorly shod and that tailors are nd always natty. We thought of this recently, when meeting a proprietor of one of the beauty sepv- I icc stations. Among the typographical errorwhich appreciably to the gayety of the sport pages, none is more effective i than “fat' when “fast" was intended. I unless the writer has polo in mind, and it comes out “pool.” The National Radi< institute denies i that there is any overproduction of ra i dins or that the saturation point is in ] sight.
