There may be some good arguments
against it. but the Idea of permitting
right turns against traffic lights might
be worth trying out in this day of
gasoline and tire rationing

Why not permit the uee of a War

The government continues to waste
valuable paper by continuing to print

it was a well deserved reward
or the untiring efforts of this fine
lady. Now the bar is lost. Mrs. Mayfield

We Just read an Interesting Item
concerning aoftball. Down here when
we think of the sport, we think In
numbers of six club leagues, or If we
live In Columbia we think of several
leagues. Up at the Great Lakes
Naval Academy near the Wisconsin,
Illinois, state line, there are over 2,000
teams. "Great Gosh"?you say. 80

Wo,faintly remember a political
campaign during which there was
much talk about "a chicken in every
pot." Well, the time has come. It
took a war to bring his campaign
slogan to reality but apparently it is
here. With chickens on the unrationed
list and red stamps running short
toward the end of the week it's a safe
bet that nowadays there is a chicken
In every pot at least once a week. The
two cars in every garage slogan that
accompanied the one quoted still ap*
pears far off but If gas rationing becomes
more stringent there may soon
be one car in every garage and in
some Instances two cars. That's what
we wanted, once upon a time, isn't
It?
Our nomination for "the most misunderstood
man of the week," goes
to the iceman, dripping with sweat,
who held up his tongs threateningly
and said: "I'll hit the next guy who
tells me I've gob a nice cool job."
A good many otherwise estimable
citizens stitl seem to be laboring under
the impression that rationing and
oher wartime restrictions are just a
sort of game of oops and robbers
which it is smart to beat.
One of these days somebody Is going
to wake up and expose the socalled
farm-bloc and discover that it
doesn't represent the working farmer
at all and that It Is led by men who
haven't done a day's work, on the
farm, for years and years.
After a lot of people have used
more gasoline than they should have,
they are surprised that there could
be a shortage of It.
Argentina is losing prestige and position

Good yarn# have boon scarce along
Broad street of late but early this
week we ran Into eome of hte lade
who had good ones to relate.
Manager'Marshall of the Newberry
atore tells a swell one. Seeing that
two Irish women met on the street
and Mrs. Clancy waa telling Mrs. MeOreedy
all about a now fur coat her
husband had given her. She described
the garment in detail and ended up
by saying "and do you know Mrs. McCready
that this gorgeous fur comes
from a skunk?" Mrs. McCready replied:
"Yes, Mrs. Clancy, I kuow how
you feel about your husband."
C.'
One of the -local lads?and this one
was told mo by Chief Alva Ruah?was
going to be married and he went Into
Jerry H offer's jewelry emporium and
said he wanted to see a diamond engagement
ring. Jerry showed him
one and when the young man?he
happened to bo an aviation cadet?
tasked the price. Jerry replied "Just
two hundred dollars." Whereupon the
cadet whistled. He looked the esse
over and spied another ring, whioh he
thought might be less. When he Inquired
the price, Jerry grinned and
said, "That will cost you exactly two
whistles, my boy."
*
Sitting in Art and Pete|s fine eat
parlor, the other noon I overheard two
maidens talking in the next booth and
one said to the other, "I got a pearl
out of an oyster once." Whereupon the
other dame said: "That's nothing, I
got a bracelet out of an old crab."
* *
But the best yarn of the day, and
one which I sure must tell good Fath"
er Burke about, concerned three Irish,
men from rival counties In the good
old Irish Isle.. They were bragging
about their various counties, and sez
Pat, who came from County Clare:
"The climate *ln County Clare begorra
Is so folne that everybody lives to be
a hundred years old." Mike, who
came from Donegal snorted and said,
"Begorra, you've got a folne climate
but in Denegal they live U>> be 110
years old." Well, Shamus, an old
grizzled son of Erin, who had bfen
listening to his bragging friends, lit
his pipe, took a couple of drags, and
then said, "'TIs a fine climate youse
have In County Clare and in Donegal,
but in me own county of Queens, the
climate Is so invigorating that they
haf to shoot an old man before they
could lay out a cemetery."
That's all folks for now. There ain't
no more. See you next week.
Bleacher Chatter
Who will win the Southern Trophy
to be awarded the most valuable
player In the city softball? There are
sorr\e excellent prospects on every
team In the league. Your guess la
as good as mine. Right now, from a
casual survey along bleacher row it
looks as if Relchel of the Army and
Mims of the Kendall outfit are favorites.
But some of the other talent it
showing brilliance and the season still
has a month to go.

Speaking of last Friday's game between
the Army and Merchants, Tommy
Bruce came In from the roving
outfield position to bundle the do
fense around second and did a swell
job.
Carol Cox mad* a sensational catch
of Schnell'a long fly to loft field in

e e
_ M'g ahwi'p lightning and the
ctJck ana rumble of thunder the spectators
stuck to the scene until the
last man was out. And then what u
rush for cars. The rain came just
three minutes later.
With the race in the second half a
nip and tuck affair with the Army
and Instructors leading the paok and
the Kendalls right on their tails, the
cVowds of spsotators are getting larger
and larger. The sport loving fans
are realizing that there la lots of
pleasure and oxoltement to be had
every Monday, Wednesday and Friday
evening over at the softball arena,
e
That was a swell game the Kendalls
and Merchants put up last Thursday
night. Each team was limited to
three hits, but the Merchants bunched
two of theirs with two errors in the
second inning to score three runs and
take a lead the Millers could not top
After that second inning Art Robinson
settled down and gave up but one hit
in the remaining frames. As a matter
of fact, outside of the fifth, when
four men faced the one armed lad, it
was a case of one, two and three
&vory inning.
