■Phew! * 1 Wasn’t that Hoover de-
prea.«ion awful? ...
Hoover can now be classed as a
bitter Herb.
WANTED:—To borrow a few hun
dred thousand dollars on the European
plan.
According to Cal’s eleventh hour
appeal to the voters to reelect Presi
dent Hoover, that chicken in every
pot of four years ago finally simmer
ed down to individual hard work and
sacrifice as the way out of the Re
publican panic.
Nobody’s Business ^
By Gee McGee.
A Dozen Don’ts.
1.—Don’t go into business with
partner who has nothing to lose and
all to gain.
2.—Don’t try to explain to your
brunette wife how that blond hair hap
pened to lodge on your shoulder, tell
her you don’t know and don’t care.
3.—Don’t toot your horn like a fool
when the fellow in front of you choke
down; he’s already mad.
4.—Don’t argue with a drunk man,
a mad woman, a balking mule, a bum
ble bee, or a jig-saw.
5.—Don’t let your creditors know
that you have money a-pjenty for
ever'y purpose in the world except
paying debts; they might think hard
of your wife.
6.—Don’t cuss every time you are
stopped by a useless traffic light.
Your city had to spend your tax
money some way, and traffic lights
were cheajrer by the dozen.
7.—Don’t count your chickens dur
ing the depression until they are
large enough to fry. Every cackle
ain’t an egg any more.
8.—Don’t depend on government re
lief or the other fellow. Every tub
must sit on its own bottom now-a-
<layg, and if it has no bottom, put it
on and wear it.
9.—Don’t imagine that the United
States is all right ju-t because we
are better flff-'lhan Europe. Pa’s
rheumatism didn’t feel any better
when Ma was so low with typhoid
fever.
10.—Don’t get it into your head that
government aid] stopped the banks
from busting. Nearly all of them had
already busted when Uncle Sam found
out how to save them.
11.—Don’t trust the man you elect
ed to office to reduce your tax bur
dens. He will need your help if any
thing is done. Politicans are always
running for office, and not worrying
about how you are getting along.
Vote bad men out.

NOT on our golden fortunes builded high—
Not on our boasts that soar into the sky—
Not upon these is .resting in this hour
The fate of the future; but upon the power
Of him who is forgotten—yes, on him
Rest all o\ir hopes reaching from rim to rim.
In him we see all of earth’s toiling bands,
With crooked backs, scarred faces, shattered hands.
9
H E seeks no office and he asks no praise
For all the patient labor of his days.
He is the one supporting the huge weight:
He is the one guarding the country’s gate.
He bears the burdens on these earthly ways: *
We pile the debts, he is the one who pays.
He is the one who holds the solid power
To steady nations in their trembling hour.
Behold hijn as he silently goes by.
For it is at his word that nations die.
Shattered with loss and lack.
He is the mart who holds upon his back
The continent and all its mighty loads—
This toiler who makes possible the roads
On which the gilded thousands travel free—
Makes possible our feasts, our roaring boards,
Our pomps, our easy days, our golden hoards.
He gives stability to nations: he
Makes possible our nation, sen to sea
His strength makes possible our college walls—
Makes possible our legislative halls—
Makes possible our churches soaring high
With spires, the fingers pointing to the sky.
SlIALL then this man go hungry, here m lands
Blest by his honor, builded by his hands?
Do something for him: let him never be
Forgotten: let him have his daily bread:
He who has fed us. let him now be fed.
I^et us remember all his tragic lot—,
Remember, or else be ourselves forgot!
A LL honor to the one that in this hour
Cries to the world as from a lighter! tower—
Cries for the Man Forgotten. Honor the one
Who asks for him a glad place in the sun.
He is a voice for the voiceless. Now, indeed.
We have a tongue that cries the mortal need.

bummed.
T,
If a boy runs thm the streets with
nothing on but a pair of BVD’s, and
is followed by a girl dre-sed in a
similar manner, they are doing a
marathon stunt. Bathing suits leave
nothing to be surmised, yet nobody
blushes 1 . Seme dresses are not even
a tenth cousin to a dress. It does not
cost oyer 35 cents to di’es- a girl
above the waist; however, the south-
ein portion of this same garment
might have been billed at $49.99.
If Billie Smith is .^een up town
with his nose mashed and his eyes
blackened and his ears ba-ted and his
arm in a sling, Ik* is a hero, as every
body’thinks he got bunged up in a
football game, whereas, he only pulled
himself out of a .fi.-4-fight (the night
before) with a bootlegger. It doesn't
matter if you are parted up now-a-
days; the average person has stopped
worrying about waits on himself or
her, much less scratches gnd bruises.

What If It Is?
Times, customs, condition- and
fwople have changed considerably dur
ing the past 30 years. I can remem
ber when a young fellow was practi
cally disgraced for life if his shirt-
tail wag out in public, and a guy that
would go around with ladies with his
collar unbuttoned was considered al
most indecent in his dress. In other
words, he was not only common, he
was tacky.
Women will follow the^tyle-, no
matter how or what they exploit.
Short di'esse s were common \n two
weeks, yet they jumped from tbe an
kles to 2 inches above the knees. Thin
dre^se s came into being along With
pretty undeiwear, and pretty under
wear is still being manufactured, and
so are thin dresses. Bareleg s wen
frowned at when they first appeared,^
but today, barelegs^are as pretty and
cute as leg s W1 tb stockings around
them. I am very well pleased, thank
you, with things just as they are, so
this ain’t no kick against modern
pi'actice s and 4 habits.

Some friends of ^pine, who are In
terested in a musical show, invited me
to the dress rehearsal. I would not
have missed it for worlds. Anyone
who never has witnessed a dress re
hearsal of a musical show, like the
man who never had suffered from de
lirium tremChs, “ain’t seen nothin’.”
To watch the director alone is worth
many times the price of admission.
When someone inadvertently let down
the. drop for tire? next scene on the
heads of the chorus doing a dance
number, none of the cast was killed,
but it seemed that the director was
going to die of hydrophobia. When,
in the midst of a duet, the stage hand
parted the velvet curtains and stuck
his head through, the director suffered
from a form of throat paralysis. He
could make only weird sounds, while
his cheeks appeared to Inflate after
the manner of a red balloon. His
countenance was still so fiery that it
shone in the dark when the electrician
missed his cue and gave the perform
ers a black-out instead of the ex
pected moonlight. His language was
even more flaming than his face. And
what saved him from apoplexy when
the curtain stuck, I still cannot imag
ine. No director of a musical show
would seem to be a good insurance risk.
It didn’t even seem to have a sooth
ing effect when the treadmill failed to
work and the horse galloped off stage
into the wings.

The dress rehearsal of a musical
show generally lasts from around 8
p. m. until 5 o'clock in the morning. Then
the performers, authors, stage crew,
musicians and directors make for
home and bed, and sleep the sleep of
exhaustion until about 5 o'clock in
the afternoon, when they wake up,
fresh and nervous. On the opening
night, everything usually goes like
clockwork, the show is over a little
after 11, and those concerned rush out
to get tiie morning paper to see what
the critics have to say concerning what
has taken weeks of effort and large
amounts of money. As a gambler, pro
ducing a musical show makes roulette
look like a piker’s game.

1 get most of my hotel news from
Frank Case, Ted Saucier, and Royal
Ryan, and there always is something
happening in t lie small cities which are
metropolitan hotels. Mr. Ryan, forex-
ample. lias been telling me of the
O'Neils, of Pittsburgh. It seems that
Mrs. O’Neil hid a valuable diamond
ring in the pillow-case of her lied In
a New York hotel, and in the next
morning’s hurry to get away early for
Atlantic City, forgot it. When she re
membered it, there was considerable
ruction and her husband telephoned
back to tiie hotel. Naturally, the room
had been cleaned and remade, and
looking through the laundry bag of a
big city hostelry is quite a job. Maids,
bellboys, and even extra elevator op
erators were put to work—twentyHwo
of them. Carefully, they searched and
they shook, but it was not until they
literally had examined thousands of
pieces of linen that a bellboy inverted
a pillow-case and out rolled the ring.
I suppose things »of that sort happen
almost dally at all hotels.

Why Broadway producers spend
a fortune making a show beautiful to
the eye and ear and the'n, suddenly and
without necessity, drag in something
which offends the nostrils, I never have
been able to figure out. They rfiust
figure that their public wants it, which
is a sure tip-off on what they think of
their customers.

One-Time Junky&rch
Now Model Village
Portage, Wis. — A junkyard
formed the nucleus for an attrac
tive little roadside village near
here which has not felt the effects
of the depression.
The vilage is Packardville, built
during the past five years by
Lance Packard, thirty-three, who
started with only a few dollars.
The village now is free of debt
and has public playgrounds, free
ball parks, recreation grounds,
handstand, paviliop add tourist
park. \
Failing at farming before he was
thirty*, Packard sta]rt\fd\ selling
shears and grinders and saved
enough money to buy two old cars.
He junked them and made $20 and
continued , buying and junking
more cars.
Then he borrowed money and
purchased the 40 acres on which
the village now stands. Packard
ville now has ten cabins, two fill
ing stations, a grocery stora, ga
rage. electric light and storage
plant, and dwellings.
