IN BIRD LAND Owls display no skill in nestmaking. In North America, north of the Rio Grande, 800 distinct species of birds have been recorded. To save its finest game birds from extinction, Texas has declared a five-year closed season. GOOD RULES The following rules on how to get along with people are guaranteed to work—if really followed: Be careful of the other fellow’s feelings. Preserve an open mind on all subjects. Discuss, but never argue. Make very few promises but keep those you make, no matter the cost. Be cheerful and hide your own worries. Be able to enjoy and tell a good story. Always say less than you think, also say it in a low voice. How you say it often means more than what you say. Let your virtues speak for themselves and do not speak of another’s vices. Say nothing of another unless it is something good. Never pass up an opportunity to say a kind or encouraging thing. Never criticize spitefully. T s you criticize, do it helpfully. Be interested in others and all oi their interests. Let everyone you meet feel as though you regard him as a person of importance.—Hoard’s Dairyman.

S.LoH about Our National Bird. LAS VEGAS, NEV. — Those folks back East who’re agitating to make the turkey our national bird are late. Benjamin Franklin had the same notion 150 years ago. Old Ben pointed out that the eagle was a robber and a tyrant and was the emblem of va- I

rio u s European monarchies, whereas the turkey was not only our largest and gamest wild bird, but a native of America. To be sure, young turkeys aren’t so smart. They love to get their feet wet so they may die from it. In dry sections, young turkeys have

been known to jump down an artesian well 90 feet deep in order to get their feet wet. But the adult turkey is wise and wily, a noble spectacle in the woods and popular in a cooked state, owing to his magnificent bust development and his capacity for holding stuffing or insertion, and his superiority when worked over into turkey hash. But if we are going to make a change in emblems, why not choose the worm—the humble, dumb, unresisting worm—as typical of most of the present populace? It could be a one-sided worm, too, which would save costs in modeling, because so many of us are the kinds of worms that never turn. • • • The Sucker Crop. PARLIAMENT, next month, will * pass statutes to curb stock market tricksters, fly-by-night brokers, and bucket shop operators who, it’s estimated, are fleecing the British public to the tune of $25,000,000 annually. We’ve tried it and it doesn’t work. As Barnum stated, a sucker is born every minute — and sometimes twins. But the crooks who prey on the sucker crop, like the Dionne quintuplets, come along in batches. That breed spawn close to shore and the young all survive. Thus is the rule of supply and demand balanced. In good times, there are just enough suckers to go around. In hard times, the suckers grow scarce, but, when one comes along, the crooks raffle him off and the winner takes all. Anyhow, legislation won’t save a sucker from himself—at least not in this country. He’ll break through the law in order to prove he’s a sucker in good standing in the suckers’ lodge. By the way, brother-member, how many degrees have you taken? • * • Restrained Statements. A WAYFARER in Oklahoma, who claimed to have starved himself for forty-one days, on being asked how he felt, replied that he felt sort of hungry. Investigation showed the stranger had been cheating now and then to the extent of a clandestine beef stew or a surreptitious stack of wheats, but wasn’t it a magnificently restrained statement? For underemphasis, I can think of but a single instance to match it. In my youth, we had a policeman in our town with a nervous mannerism of killing folks. One night, I was passing Uncle Tom Emery’s saloon and snackstand for colored only. A group of subdued-looking customers fetched out the limp remains of a dark person who had been bored thrice through the heart. “Uncle Tom,’’ I inquired of the proprietor, “isn’t that Monkey John?” “Sho’ is suh.” “How did it happen?” I asked. “Well, suh,” said Uncle Tom, “It seem like he musta antagonized Mr. Buck Evitts.” • • • Smoked Glasses for Snakes. ON THE way here, I attended this year’s snake dance. The snake dance has become indeed a strange sight—for the» snakes. If the tourists don’t modify their wardrobes by next year, I expect to see the snakes wearing smoked glasses. Veteran snakes that have taken part during past seasons are showing signs of the strain. The bull snakes still hiss—as who could blame them? —but the rattlers no longer rattle freely, evidently fearing it might be mistaken for applause. The commissioner of Indian affairs wants the Navajoes to grow fewer goats. The Navajoes are balking. Goat hair is a profitable crop; goat meat makes good eating—for an aborigine stomach, anyhow—and goat smell is agreeable for Navajo noses. It seems to neutralize some of the other perfumes noticed during shopping hour in a reservation trading post. IRVIN S. COBB ©—WNU Service.

vv w /H i J/a National Topics Interpreted by William Bruckart National Press Building Washington, D. C.

Washington.—Wall Street and the securities market generally have been undergoing a Baa Case of bad case of the Jitters jitters. It has been several years since those dealing in money and shares of stock have been so uncertain as to the future and this uncertainty obviously is the cause of I the jitters among all people who dabble in the stock market, whether the dabbling be small or large, on margin or for cash. It seems a proper time, therefore, to exarrfine the picture and try to see what lies beneath. And, let me hasten to say at the very outset that anyone who makes a positive statement about the securities market these days must be either a fool or a superman—and thus far the supermen who have lived on this earth number only one. But that fact does not destroy the value of an examination of a condition which exists as a fact. Indeed, I think a review of the various factors and influences at work now can provide a clarification of general conditions even though it may fail utterly to show why men and women act as they do with respect to stock market investments. First, it should be said that Wall Street, as the term is commonly used, is not unanimous within itself. The violent fluctuation of market securities in the last several weeks might easily be said to be due to the war crises in Europe and in the Far East. Only, those fluctuI ations are not traceable to war coni ditions. Rather, the war conditions are used by some individuals as an excuse—an alibi to themselves because they fail to fathom the various influences and factors now at work. I said that Wall Street lacked unanimity within itself. That is true because within Wall Street there are all kinds of selfish groups operating. For example, an influence like inflation is highly pleasing to the brokers and dealers in shares while the same influence frightens bankers and likewise gives a sickening feeling to those who must buy raw products. Bankers and sound investors as well as tax payers generally would be quite happy to see the Federal Treasury’s budget balanced because if that were done there would be a much greater sense of security, of safety for those investments. • • • A dozen other illustrations could be given to thus illustrate the point and show why Black Case WaU street canInvolved not agree. They do not show, however, why there is so much uncertainty and why the bulls or the bears have been unable to adjust themselves to the future probabilities. The reasons, therefore, must lie deeper. It is possible that the appointment of Hugo Black of Alabama as an associate justice of the Supreme court of the United States has had more effect on the business world than any of us realize. I have heard a number of corporation executives say that they hope they will never be involved in litigation which will carry their corporations before the court on which Mr. Black sits. If they entertained that fear before, undoubtedly the fear is deeper-seated and more widespread now that Mr. Justice Black has been publicly accused of holding a life membership in the Ku Klux Klan. Certainly the expose of the typhoon that is swirling around the head of the new associate justice cannot have any soothing effect upon the minds of those business men who, as corporation executives, are trustees of vast sums of the people’s money. Undoubtedly, unless Mr. Black can prove that he is not affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, few litigants will feel safe before the Supreme court. Then, there comes the resignation of James M. Landis as chairman of the securities and exchange commission which regulates operations of the great stock exchanges. Mr. Landis has been regarded as rather fair, rather just, in his dealings relating to stock market operations. His retirement to return to a professorship in Harvard, of course, opens up the question as to his successor. This is to say that most of the financial world is hoping and praying that the new chairman will not go off at a tangent; that he will avoid extreme radicalism and that he will not blame the whole financial structure for the crookedness of a part of it. Thus, it becomes easy to see how this minor factor may have weight with some individuals dealing in corporate shares and bonds. William O. Douglas, a member of the commission, has been slated to become chairman but developments in recent weeks give considerable doubt over that result. Mr. Douglas is recorded as being a radical. Bankers and investors in many parts of the country fear that if he is made chairman he will become not unlike the famous bull in a china cabinet. But, according to the undercurrent of gossip around Washington Mr. Douglas has done something to offend Postmaster General Farley, and no man can draw an appointment as important as the chairmanship of a great commission without Mr. Farley’s approval. Aside from personalities, various phases of President Roosevelt’s monetary policies continue to be disturbing and in addition to these there is the certainty that new taxes must be levied. That is, new taxes must be levied if we are ever going to balance the federal budget and begin paying off the gigantic national debt which now amounts to more than 38 billion. With a debt at the

Irvin S. Cobb

highest point our United States ever has known, a great many people, including bankers, have become fearful of what they might get for United States bonds that they now hold. It is obvious that this influence adds to the general uncertainty although it is difficult to measure the exact influence of this condition, or to see whether it is a major or a minor factor. • • • Having enumerated a few of the influences known to be at work, we come now to that Business condition which Conditions heretofore always has been basic. I refer to general business conditions. New Deal press agents have tried valiantly to make it appear that business is booming; that prosperity is here instead of around the corner; and that the country has nothing to fear. Careful examination of official figures, however, show the prosperity statements to be true only in parts. The official statistics disclose very definitely how some lines of business are enjoying a volume of trade or production higher even than 1929. They show on the other hand a vast number of failures, an increasing number of big businesses which are barely getting by—which can continue providing their present volume of business is maintained. If the volume of business slips, however, that category of business is going into a tailspin as sure as the sun shines. If a part of the business of the country begins to sink—well, a part of it began to sink in August, 1929, and within two years the whole structure had fallen like a house of cards. I am not saying that we are confronted with another depression. I do say, however, that we are facing a condition that is not at all satisfactory—a condition that can lead to a depression as easily as it can lead to sound prosperity in commerce and industry. Astute observers and business men in the larger centers decide their courses upon the outlook for the whole country, not for any particular line of business or any particular section. The number of individuals who see the picture I have attempted to outline in the above paragraph is increasing. As that number increases obviously the wave of uncertainty expands. As the uncertainty expands, there develops logically and naturally a reluctance on the part of these trustees of money to take any chances that will cause them to lose the money of the people who have invested their savings in business shares or business ventures. So, if one is compelled to make a guess why Wall Street is so concerned or so jittery, it would seem that the explanation must lie in the combination of circumstances. No one of them, except possibly the adverse business outlook, could accomplish as much doubt about the future. Anyone talking with a hundred different individuals will hear these various factors and influences mentioned. He will hear different weight given by each individual tc each factor. I think no one has the gift or the power to calculate the relationship of the various factors completely but that does not alter my definite conviction or feeling that caution must be exercised among government officials as well as among those in private life if we are to avoid a repetition of the crash of 1929. • • • We have been dealing with causes. Let us look at possible effects. It will be rememNow, as bered how Presito Effects dent Hoover was blamed for the depression. He and the Republican party were punished on ♦» at account and badly licked in the elections. It ought to be said in Mr. Hoover’s behalf that the conditions which led to the depression had their beginning long before he was elected President. Indeed, they had their real beginning in the World war. President Roosevelt came into office as a result. He started doing things and gaining the confidence of the country to such an extent that he was re-elected last year. Probably he was re-elected largely because of the bulk of the voters feeling he was restoring prosperity. I doubt, however, that Mr. Roosevelt was any more responsible for the return of a superficial prosperity than Mr. Hoover was responsible for the depression. But we are coming to another election. If conditions should become worse and business should decline perceptibly again, Mr. Roosevelt will be held responsible just as definitely as was Mr. Hoover. He will be charged with having made a mess of government and any attempt on his part to prove the condition was natural will be regarded as an alibi. The whole thing seems to be in the lap of the gods and no amount of political strategy or attempts to amend the law of supply and demand will alter events. © Western Newspaper Union.

ADVENTURERS’ CLUB HEADLINES FROM THE LIVES OF PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF! “White Prairie Death' 1 By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter TTELLO EVERYBODY: A * You know, boys and girls, this Adventurers’ Club of ours shows signs of spreading all over the cockeyed world. Just a few weeks ago we enrolled a native boy from Java, and today here comes one from Sweetwater, way up in British Columbia. Bill Simpson is his name, and he is a homesteader in a country where farmhouses are few and far between. But in 1908 Bill was doing his homesteading in Saskatchewan, and up there, at that time you were lucky if you saw a farmhouse in ten miles of travel. That’s the section Bill is going to tell us about today. He’s going to tell us the story of the horse that knew more than a man. And Bill has the genuine eye-witness lowdown on that story, too. You see. Bill was the man. It was just a few days before Christmas. Bill and his closest neighbor—a fellow named Barney—had driven into town, a distance of forty miles, to lay in a supply of groceries. It’s hard to imagine a place that’s forty miles away from the nearest grocery store. But it’s a fact, nevertheless. And Bill and Barney drove that forty miles, not over roads, but on a rough trail over the virgin prairie—a winding route picked out by the horse himself, as he skirted around w’et places and alkali spots, trying to find where the going was easiest. Caught in a Prairie Blizzard. It was over that sort of a road that Bill and Barney started back for home. They planned to drive twenty miles, spend the night at the homestead of a man they knew along the way, and drive the other twenty miles ,on the following day. They had covered sixteen of those first twenty ■ miles when a blizzard broke over their heads. A prairie blizzard is a thing you can’t fight. The snow comes pelting down with such force that it is impossible to face and travel against it. You’ve just got to travel in the direction in which the wind is blowing. i The snow comes down so thick that you can hardly see two feet ahead of you. And that’s the sort of storm that Bill and Barney were up against. “The temperature dropped,” says Bill, “until the sleigh runners screamed as they passed over the cold snow. The wind rose, driving snow particles at us with stinging force. The cold penetrated our bodies, and before we had gone half a mile we were performing the craziest-looking acrobatics you ever saw in an effort to keep warm. “For a mile or so after the storm broke we were able to keep the horse headed along the trail. But every vestige of the trail was soon obliterated and we had to trust to luck as we headed for our destination. It began to The Horse Stopped at a Huge Mound of Snow. dawn on us then that, though it was only a few more miles to the homestead of our friend, we would probably never find it in that blizzard—that we would drive on and on until we froze to death. “Even then we were not far from freezing. Barney, who was superstitious. kept crying over and over again, *Oh, me poor mother. I’ll never see her again. The storm devils will get me,’ and many times in the next couple hours I felt myself becoming numb and drowsy. I just wanted to take a short nap—just a short nap. That’s what I was telling myself. But I knew in my heart that if I ever lay down I would never wake up again.” Beat Barney to Save His Life. So Bill forced himself to beat his arms about and rub his face W’ith snow to keep himself awake. After one of those sleepy attacks of his he turned to speak to Barney—and found him peacefully asleep in the bottom of the sleigh box. He had to beat him unmercifully with a blackI snake whip before he could get him awake again. “And as I beat him,” he says, “the exertion brought with it a feeling of warmth that may have saved my own life.” By that time Bill had lost his bearings and even his sense of direction. He gave the horse a free rein, trusting in his instinct instead. On they went. The snow, by that time, was falling in such a dense curtain that it was impossible to see even as far as the horse’s head. There isn’t a man in the world who wouldn’t have been lost in such a storm. But the horse showed no hesitancy. He plodded on. Then, all at once he began to slow down. A few paces farther on he came to a stop before what looked like a huge mound of snow. Had he, too, lost his sense of direction? Bill shouted, “Get up” at him. The horse didn’t budge. Bill was about to take the ship when the thought came to ’ him to investigate that mound of snow. । Luckily the Horse Kept His Bearings. He climbed down from the wagon. The mound was round and strangely shaped—for a snow-pile. Bill thrust his hand into it—and then realized that the horse knew things that he didn’t. That mound was a I snow-covered pile of straw that had been left there by threshers in the fall. “I pulled the wagon up into the shelter of the pile,” says Bill, . “and was preparing to pull out some of the straw to make a fire, when I saw what looked like a star off toward tne horizon. j But I knew there was no possibility of seeing a star through such a storm and realized to my unbounded joy that it must be a light gleaming in the house of our friend with whom we planned to spend the night.” . Bill headed the horse toward that light and drove him on. It was I the house all right, but they were coming up to it from the opposite di- . rection from which they should have approached it. “We had almost [ passed it,” says Bill, “and if we had, we would have gone on to our [ deaths in the howling wind and deepening snow. The only thing that ; saved us from doing so was—the horse.” . | Bill and Barney spent the night at that homestead, and went on home , the next morning after the storm was over. In later years, Bill never » passed that place without remembering his battle with the elements—t and the horse that kept his bearings when Bill and Barney had both ; lost theirs. ’ i ©—WNU Service.

Sense of Humor Dr. A. A. Roback, psychologist, of I Harvard university, after much ; study of the sense of humor, says: “Certainly the sense of humor is not to be gauged by the intensity or frequency of laughter. In fact, from observation one might come to the conclusion that he who laughs loudest and oftenest has a sense of humor not unlike that of the laughing | hyena or braying ass.” Dr. Roback says intelligence is an important factor in humor, and that the sense of humor is an ability to perceive possible incongruities in situations, | even where we ourselves are involved. He says subjective people have less humor than objective peo- ; pie, who are more able to laugh even at themselves.
