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?”

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? No? Well; there are
500 million people who do.”
*Nnff Said
An English poet, having become
a citizen of the United States, was
citing the benefits achieved by this
step to a group of old compatriots
in London. “And to cap it all,” he
conclude 1, “P am now* one of the
victors of the AmeaiCan Revolu
tion.”
RIDERS IN THE SKY
yfjtoo/
WTOii—imi
,
A cowboy boarded our airliner
at Santa Fe, N. 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.’ ”

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.
