Best Advice A New Orleans newspaper, re calling the days when Crescent City courts were run rather informally, cites as an example a day when a man accused of theft had no coun sel, and the judge asked a lawyer who was present to withdraw with the prisoner, listen to his story and then give him such advice as would be for his best interest. A half-hour later the lawyer re turned alone. “Where is the prisonerT" asked the judge. “By this time, your honor,” said the lawyer, ' “I dare say he’s 20 miles from here. Your honor told me to, g£ve’ him the best advice for his interest, and as he was ob viously guilty, I thought the best counsel I could give him was to cut and run, which he took at once.” Egotism Groucho Marx says he once had a nurse who was so conceited that when she. took his pulse she sub tracted ten points for her person ality. VERY ALERT Our new cook seemed to be a find. We had agreed on hours, wages and days oft “My husband is very punctual,” I said. “But sometimes,” I added apologetical ly, “he brings home unexpected guests for dinner. I would suggest you always be prepared for such an emergency.” “Yes, ma’am,” Elinor nodded. ‘Til keep my bags packed.” That's All, Brother The visiting psychologist ex plained that the teacher was not holding the attention of her class and offered to prove it After the pupils had filed into the room and taken their seats he asked a little girl for a number. The little girl gave 35 * and the phychologist promptly wrote 53 on the board. Receiving 29, he wrote 92 and for 82, he wrote 28. After several minutes of this, a voice was heard from the rear of the room, ‘Sixty-six; let’s see what you can do with that!” ’Tis True Sometimes a young blade who is burning with love makes a fuel of himself. NOT SO FUNNY The boss returned in a' good humor from lunch and called the whole staff in to listen to a couple of jokes he had picked up. Every body but One girl laughed uproar iously. “What’s the matter?” grumbled the boss. “Haven’t you got a sense of humor?” “I don’t have to laugh,” said the girl. “I’m leaving Friday anyhow.” Like Father, Like Son Professor: “Mr. Jones, I hate to tell you but your son is a moron.” Jones: “Where is he? I’ll teach that young pup to join a fraternity without consulting me.” Sign of Times Juke Box—Invention which took the rest out of restaurant and put the din in dinner. SAFE SPOT Earth flew in all directions as the crimson-faced would-be golf er attempted to strike the ball. “My word,” be blurted out to his caddie, “the worms will think there’s an earthquake.” “I don’t know,” replied the caddie, “the worms 'ronnd here are erafty. I’ll bet most of them are hiding underneath the ball for safety.” “All those who want to go to Heaven will kindly rise,” said the minister of a smallish Maine con gregation—possibly to make sure everybody was awake. All but one man in a pew near the rear rose promptly. “Hm-m-m,” mused the minister. "Now anybody who wants to go to Hades will please stand up.” The congregation tittered and stole a look at the member who had remained seated earlier. Again he didn’t move. “Am I to understand. Brother Caldwell, that you want to go neither to Heaven nor the other place?” “That’s it exactly,” was the reply. “I like it right here.” Quick Thinker Official—“No, I can’t find you a job. I have so many people here after jobs that I can't even re member their names.” Applicant—“Couldn’t you give me e job of keeping record of them?” VERY IMPORTANT Desire to contact any person bavins information as to whereabouts of MANUEL LOZANO de TESPANI or any living relatives.

Phone DIVISION OF LABOR We once had a very capable Negro woman working for us. Her husband, however, was a happy- go-lucky fellow who, although very likable, never seemed able to keep a job and seldom bothered to try. One day I asked her why she put up with him. Without hesitating she said, “It’s like this. Mis’. I makes de livin’ and he makes de livin’ worth while.” Consolidation Stella Roman, Metropolitan Opera singer, passes on the yarn about Picasso asking a Paris waiter, “What do you think of my paint ings?” The waiter admitted, “I don’t al ways understand them.*’ Picasso asked, “Do you under stand Chinese?

Mex., on a day when gusty mountain winds made flying pretty rough. In spite of the hostess's numerous requests, he refused to fasten his seat belt. “Young lady,” he snorted, “for 30 years I’ve rode everything I ever mounted, and I ain’t about to be saddle tied now. Let ’er buck? ril / ride ’er.” Reason Enough “I don’t know whether I like these photos or not,” said the young woman. “They seem rather indis tinct.” “But, you must remember, ma dam,” said the wily photographer, “that your face is not at all plain.” FLATTERY The victim, a woman in her early 30’s, told this one: It had been several weeks since a prosperous farmer had been in the bank where she worked. “Miss Lee,” he greet ed her, “you seem to be getting a little stonter.” “Don’t yon know yon musn’t ever tell a woman she is getting fat?” she chided. “Oh,” he said with surprise, “I didn’t think a woman of your age would mind.” Spelling Test The Pullman passenger, after looking out his window for a half hour, finally called over the con ductor. “Say, every once in awhile I see a little post near the track,” he said, “and sometimes it has the letter ‘W’ on it and sometimes the letter ‘R’. What do they mean?” “That,” cited the conductor jok ingly, “is for the engineer. They mean ‘ring’ or ‘whistle.’ ” As the conductor came through later, he asked the passenger if he understood the explanation. “Not entirely,” answered the traveler. "I can see how you can •wring’ with a ‘W,’ but danged if I see how you spell ’whistle’ with an R.’ ” WANTED: 014 G«14, rings, bridgework. gold teeth, spectacles, watches, sterling silver, etc. Prompt remittance: bonde for your protection.

Buy U.S.'Defense Bonds! WNU—7 90,000 People Killed in U. S. During Past Year CHICAOa m. — The National Safety Council reported 90,000 peo ple were killed in accidentg during 1950, 8,900,000 were injured, with a> total cost to the public amounting to $7,700,000,000. Huge ag the toll was, it repre sented a saving of 1,000 lives from the 1949 total—a reduction of one per cent. Motor vehicle accidents led the list as the nation’s number one killer, with home accidents second. The darkest part of the accident picture for 1950 wag the failure to hold the line against motor vehicle deaths, the council reported. Boom ing auto production and soaring travel sent traffic deaths up 11 per cent to the highest toll since 1041. Americans Safer But away from the wheels of their cars, Americans generally were safer in 1050. Although occupational .deaths went up slightly as a re sult of greater employment, home accident deaths and those occurring in public places not involving a mo tor vehicle decreased more than enough to offset the rise in traffic deaths. The 1950 all-accident death rate was 59.9 per hundred thousand pop ulation. This is the lowest rate on record, bettering the previous rec ord low rate of 61.2 in 1949. Nevertheless, one out of every 17 persons in the United States suf fered a disabling injury in 1950. The estimated economic loss of $7,700,000,000 from accidents in 1950 covers both fatal and non-fatal ac cidents and includes wage losses, medical expense and overhead costs of insurance for all accidents, pro duction delays, damage to equip ment in occupational accidents and property damage from traffic acci dents and fires. Aged persons 65 years and older made up the only age group to show a decrease—11 per cent. Deaths of children under 15 were about the same in 1950 as is 1949. There wer'e 6 per cent mbre deaths in the 15-24 year ^Toup and 5 per cent more among persons 25-44 years of age. The 45-64 year group has a 1 per cent increase. Falla a Heavy Killer Falls, always a heavy killer, brought death to 18,600 persons in 1950—13 per cent fewer than in 1949. Deaths from burns numbered 7,- 000—an 8 per cent increase from 1949. Drowning totaled 6,100 in 1950—a decrease of 9 per cent. Firearms deaths dropped 11 per cent to 2,100. Catastrophes in which the toll was at least five lives occurred about as often in 1950 as in 1949, but resulted in more deaths. Up to the closing days of 1950, the number of deaths in such catastrophes totaled nearly 1,500—an increase of about 250 from 1949. Three catastrophes in 1950 caused more than 50 deaths each—the No vember wind and snow storm in the northeastern states, the collision of two suburban trains in New York, and the crash of a scheduled air transport plane into Lake Michigan. Eight other catastrophes caused be tween 25 and 50 deaths. As in past years, the bulk of the accident total was made up of one or two-death accidents.
