Most pedestrians have little cause
to fear the discomforts of old age.
When someone thinks up an origi

Most folks would gladly join the
"Buy Now" campaign if they could

genius written a nice jazzy tune

We read that America has about
200 dialects. Radio announcers seem
to have mastered them all.
Nearly everyone has some claim to
distinction. A neighbor of ours brags
? a lot about his tough beard.
Now a lot oT people will be bored
stiff by neighbors who tell of things
they saw at the Century of Progress.
Emil Hurgia, new Interior Depart
ment assistant, is doing a bit of talk-1

Metaphorically speaking, a recent

Those Frenchmen are natural born

Professor Tugwell declares that the

was somewhat mythical. m
READING TRASH
Reading of the kind of novels in
which most persons indulge for re
creation bf time-killing is bad for tho
mentality, according to LafCadio
Heam, author and critic, who com
pares the habit to that of drinking or
opium-smoking.
; Reading merely for amusement, he
says, helps to pass the time, but
keeps up a perpetual condition of
dreaming that eventually destroys
the capacity for thought.
It may be that Heam rather over
states the case, but it must be admit -
t(Mi that those whose sole object in
reading is to be entertained never
develops any great mental abilities.
This does not mean that novel -
Teading is in any way detrimental if
indulged in moderation, or as a re
laxation from serious study or appli
cation. Many if not most of the
greatest thirjkers and doers have
found mental relief in the reading of
fiction.
But there are novels and novels.
And those who spend all their spare
time in dovouring ono commonplace
novel after another thereby give evi
dence of a lazy and shallow intellect.
In order to develop, the brain must
have exercise in thinking, and that
wholesome exercise is not provided
by the kind of novels that most con
firmed novel-readers read.
One of the strangest onmw of its
kind la that of Miss Patricia Maguiro
of Oak Park, 111., who has slept for
a year and a half. She wan at first
fed through the nose, but lately has
been fed through the mouth, her
liquid diet corvaiating of orange juice,
fnilk and eggnogs. Since her long
sleep, began her weight has increased
from 125 to 165 pound*.
Another of life's ironies is seen in
the recent death of Allen P. Winslow,
famed war aoe, reputed to have been
the flret American to bring down a
German plane during the war. He was
killed by a fall from a third atory
hotel window in Ottawa, Canada.
CONSTITUTION DAY
September 17 marks the 144th an
niversaryof the adoption of the Con
niversary of the adoption of the Con-,
constitutional convention In Philadel
phia after nearly four months of de
liberation#.
In recent years Constitution Day
has been widely observed through
suitable exercises by schools, clubs
and patriotic societies. It is only the
truth to say that the average Amer
ican is by no means as familiar with
this great document as he ought to
be. The wisdom and foresight of its
authors hav? been amply vindicated
throughout the life of the nation.
One of the highest tributes ever
paid the CcrffSTitution was by the emi
nent British statesman, Viscount
James Bryce, who in his American
Commonwealth said:
"The Constitution deserves the
veneration with which Americans
have, been accustomed to regard it.
It ranks above every other written
constitution for the intrinsic excell-|
ence of it? scheme, its adaption to
the circumstances of the pteople, the
simplicity, brevity and 'precision of
its language, its judicious mixture of
definiteness in principle with elastic
ity in details."

About $55,000,000 of government

from the well known government
"pork barrel."

Esther Brooke, who is classified as
a vocational guidace counselor, said
a sizeable mouthful recently when j
she declared: "The college wpman
who succeeds in business today owes
her alma mater very little thanks.
She is the victim df one of the most
perfect systems of unpreparedness
and misguidance ever devised."

Speaker Rainey says tKe^i new gov-j

In 1925 Everett Scott of the New
York Yankees finished his world's
record of 1,307 consecutive games
without a miss. The same year a
recruit first baseman started in to
beat that record, but didn't know it.
A few days ago this 1925 recruit, Lou
Gehrig, played his 1,308th consecutive
game and has since added a few
more to the record. When presented
with a trophy Gehrig expressed his
appreciation of having a steady job
eight years.

NATIONAL FOREST GAME
ESTIM AYES EXPLA INEI)
Because of some misunderstanding
of the recently announced figures
containe<l in the so-calle<l national
forest "game census," the U. S.
Forest Service today issued the fol
lowing explanatory statement:
"The estimates year by year of
game animals on the National
Forests are made by Forest /officers
on the ground who are familiar with
local conditions, and are based upon
the best available information. Actual
game counts are made in some cases,
but these by no means cover all
National Forests noi all species.
"Marked nicreasos or decreases in
dicated from one year to another in
a given State, Territory, or Forest
may be due in some eases to more
leliable information in regard to the
number of animals, rather than to a
.substantial rhange in nunioei >f ani
mals for that locality. This is espec
ially true in connection with the est
imates on grizzly bears in Alaska for
the season of 1932. An actual co^int
of bears on Admiralty Island con
vinced Forest officers that the esti
mated number of bears on other bear
range in Alaska should be increased
ove the estimates made for previous
years, and this accounts fry- the
change from 3,000 to 4,500 on the
National Forests of the Territory.
"Such revision of local estimates in
a number ->f cases in recent years,
however, would not materially affect
the general showing of an increase of
approximately 40 percent in game
animals for the national forests as a
whole, since 192 G."
