Sarah Roosevelt replied she would be will ing to pose even if he didn’t con tribute any money. . . . The mer chant then said he would give $1,000. . . . "And now,” he added, “I’ll bring my mother over here. She is 92, and this will be the biggest thrill in her life.” ‘‘In that case,” said the 84-year- old Mrs. Roosevelt, “I’ll go to her— I’m younger.” While working as an editor for several leading magazines, Theo dore Dreiser wrote a fabulous amount of wonderful wordage— short stories, poems, plays, essays, social studies and novels, including his most famous work, “An Amer ican Tragedy.” In ’27 he visited tne Soviet Union as a guest of the government. When he stopped in England on his way back, Mr. Churchill asked him, “Well, what do you think of Russia?” “I told him,” Dreiser said (to Bob van Gelder), “that I thought it was a wonderful country, a wonderful system.”' "Nonsense,” Churchill said, “it won’t last seven years.” Decades ago, Clarence Darrow, the famed lawyer, was the principal speaker at a woman’s club. After his address he found himsef in con versation with a few ladies who in sisted on discussing birth control. “Mr. Darrow,” said one, “what do you think of birth control for the masses?” “My dear lady,” replied the fa mous man, “whenever I hear people discussing birth control, I always remember that I was the fifth.” The late George Norris made a speech in which he pointed out that mankind’s scientific and mechanical progress hasn’t prevented the bar barism of war. . . . “We have wars,” said Norris, “because the human race has learned how to improve everything—except people.” Neatest comment on Eisenhow er’s outline of demobilization plans came from one of the boys on the GI Liberation Committee in Paris. Gen. Ike had told Congress; “When you see firemen playing checlAjrs in the firehouse you don’t send them home because there’s nothing to do. And it’s the same in Germany. The soldiers may be sitting around ■vith nothing to do—or so they think. But their presence there is very neces sary.” “Mebbe so,” said the soldier (w 'o’d been told five times of a sail ing date, only to have it changed), “but even a fireman gets disgust ed—when there are nothing but false alarms!” This is a Mark Twain tale we haven’t come across before. . . . When Mark was at the height of his career he informed a friend: “It took me ten years to discover that I had no talent for writing.” “And you gave it up?” “Oh, no! By that time I was too famous!” “As long as we’re on puns,” adds Frank Case’s son, Carroll, "the win ner and still champion is old Sam uel Johnson, who was approached by a would-be wit in the Mermaid Tavern (the Aigonquin of its day). The wag said: ‘Now admit it, Sam; the only reason you don’t like puns is that you can’t make them.’ ... To which Johnson punned: ‘Sir, if I were pun-ished for every pun I shed, I’d have no puiflf shed in which to rest this punish head.’ ” That reminds us of our pet pun. . . . “A pun,” someone said, “is the lowest form of wit, pun my soul it is!” Quotation Marksmanship: Doro thy Dix: Drying a widow’s tears is one of the most dangerous occupa tions known to man. , . . Geo. S. Perry: Tugboats shooting the air full of sharp, white toots. . . . Paul Ernst: Looking crisp and cool as though she had slept on mint leaves. . . . F. E. Jones: Impatient soldiers overseas waiting for Retumity. . , . Ben Grauer: He rode to the bot tom on one-way pawntickets. . . . Jack Marshall: He’s a patriot with the accent on the riot. . . .

From early spring until late autumn the Pennsyl vania hills are among the most beautiful in the world. By EDWARD EMERINE WNU Features “T^NENNS YLVANIA has r-'^something for every- body.” It is more than a boast, more than a slogan. The Keystone state is so varied in climate, scenery, industries and occupa tions that it defies articulate and coherent description. Whatever your interests, your plans, your ambitions or hopes, listen to the story of Pennsylvania. Are you interested in American history? Start at Independence hall in Philadelphia, the Cradle of Lib erty. Wander through the streets where Benjamin Franklin lived and worked and helped create a united nation. Or travel to Gettysburg where the greatest battle of the Civil war was fought. Visit Fort Necessity, near Uniontown, the scene of Washington’s first battle, in 1754, when he was commander of the colonial troops. See the mu seum at Valley Forge, formerly Washington’s headquarters during that cold winter when the colonies’ hope was at its lowest. Go to Gen eral Braddock’s grave near Farm ington, or to the Old Blockhouse at Pittsburgh. Swing up to Erie to see the Niagara, Commodore Per ry’s flagship in the battle of Lake Erie in 1813. Mountains, Lakes, forests. Vacation? Sports? First of all, you’ll like the famous Pennsylvania Turnpike and the other smooth high ways of Pennsylvania. There are mountains and valleys, rivers and streams. Pennsylvania has 200 siz able lakes for boating and water sports—with Lake Erie thrown in for good measure! You’ll find trout streams and lakes for fishing, and Mount Davis in Somerset county with its 3,213 feet for you to climb. The “Grand Canyon of Pennsyl vania” (Pine Creek Gorge) at Wellsboro, or Pymatuning lake and wild waterfowl refuge in Crawford county, should thrill you. There are picnicking and camping sites by the hundreds, old trails to follow, and 6,500 acres of virgin timber in Cook Forest state park. These are but a few; others can be found in every nook and corner of Pennsyl vania’s 45,000 square miles of beauty. Are you an industrialist? Then you’ll want to investigate the great coal fields, like those at Scranton, BUCKHILL FALLS ... In the heart of the Pocono, Monroe county. or look into Pennsylvania’s billion- dollar textile business. The steel mills at Pittsburgh with their blast furnaces roaring should tingle your blood. And don’t forget to see the site of Drake oil well, Titusville, where petroleum, the black gold, was first struck in the United States. Everywhere you go you’ll see a fac tory, a mine, a great industrial plant. You’re a farmer? Lancaster coun ty, Pennsylvania, ranks second in the United States in income from farm products! Just remember that the thrifty “Pennsylvania Dutch” knew how to till the land, and their grandchildren do too! Big barns, fine houses and well-tilled fields like those in Franklin county will tell you more than words. The Penn sylvania landscape is dotted with farms and the big city markets are right at hand. Pennsylvania farmers do not have to ship long distances to find a place to sell their crops, their livestock, poultry or dairy products. The Commonwealth leads in the production of buckwheat. Other im portant crops are winter wheat, rye, oats, corn, potatoes, tobacco, ap ples, peaches, pears and grapes. Many Colleges, Universities. Schools? The institutions of high er education include the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, founded in 1740; Washington and Jefferson in Washington, founded in 1780; Pennsylvania State college; University of Pittsburgh; Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pitts burgh; Lafayette college, Easton; Lehigh university, Bethlehem; Tem ple university, Philadelphia; Buck- nell university, Lewisburg; Dickin son college, Carlisle; Franklin and Marshall college, Lancaster; Alle gheny college, Meadville; Duquesne college, Pittsbuigh; Grove City col lege, Grove City; Haverford col lege, Haverford; Swarthmore col lege, Swarthmore. There are 14 col leges for women, including Bryn Mawr. Lincoln university and Chey- ney training school for teachers are for Negroes. There are 13 state teachers’ colleges and 7 junior col leges! Pennsylvania (Penn’s Woods) was named for William Penn, the founder of the province. His char ter was granted by Charles II in 1681. The terms, “Commonwealth” and “General Assembly,” were originated by Penn and remain in the state constitution to this day. The United States was born on Pennsylvania soil. The articles of confederation were adopted in Phila delphia ; the Declaration of Inde pendence was written and signed there; the treaty of peace which ended the Revolutionary war was ratified in that place, and later the constitution of the United States was formulated there. The Commonwealth has built its industries largely on basic ele ments. It produces nearly half the steel of this nation, shipping it to all parts of the world. The greatest metal production ever attained at one locality is at Pittsburgh. The bituminous coal annual output aver ages approximately 100 million tons, while anthracite averages over 51 million tons. The Commonwealth produces high-grade petroleum, iron ore, pig iron, steel for rails and structural purposes, lime, slate and other metals and minerals. A list of products manufactured in Penn sylvania would fill a book! Traditionally progressive, the peo ple of Pennsylvania offer you a warm welcome to visit their state. Seeing is believing! EDWARD MARTIN Governor of Pennsylvania A native Pennsylvanian, Gov. .Ed ward Martin has had a brilliant military, business and political ca reer. Governor Martin has been state auditor, state treasurer and adju tant • general of Pennsylvania, as well as prominent in insurance, banking and oil interests.

The reporter observed that most U. S. politicos are lucky to vaca tion one month.
