A flivver cjriver had obviously been partaking not wisely but too well of post-Volsteadian hooch, and the course traced by his car was erratic. A policeman ran out into the middle of the street and stopped him. “Say, whore you going, anyway?" he demanded. v “Xow, you jus’ wait a minute, off’cer,” replied the driver, smiling delightedly, “don’t you tell me—you jus' lemme guess!’’ The Latest Sport.

STEWART XEA Service Write Washington, May 5.—“1 desire to say nothing unpleasant.” Thus Senator Jim Reed, <jf Miss souri, geeting up from his seat in the ball of solons, one day recently, to discuss the government’s bargain with Mussolini concerning the Italian war debt. He hardly got what he desired. Or else he has a funny idea of what isn't unpleasant. Most people prob ably would so interpret such a re mark as. “This is altogether the big gest steal in history.” _ It's difficult to get any very pleas ant meaning out of an adjective like "infamous.” It was one of a num ber applied by Reed to that debt agreement, and not the worst one, either. • * • However, Heed may have consid ered that, of him. he wasn’t saying anything especially unpleasant—not in comparison with other speeches he's made. When Jim Reed objects to a propo sition—and he objects to all of ’em— wliat he does to it is a plenty. I doubt if lie could put up much of a tight in favor of anything. He’s a regular whirlwind of a scrapper, but, so far ns I\ve ever observed, it’s always as an' obstructionist or a de structionist. 1 don't believe lie could work up enough interest in a constructive pro gram to campaign effectively for it. • * * Some chronic ‘antis” get tiresome. Iteed never does. He's a formid able figure and commands respect. He’s the real article in the matter of ability. He's tremendously dyna mic—fairly effervesces personality. And bis nerve is boundless. All Kinds of Work. • “Don't you find it hard to enforce the law in a wild town like this?” asked a visitor to Bed Gulch. “Hell, mister!” ejaculated the lo cal constable. “We got three or four laws to enforce out here.” Each Day Brings More NEW HATS j| You get the Latest Style Latest Styles From Us O L\. obinson’s | Millinery Dept.
