World Events
Reds and Unemployed Crash
Washington
One morning last week the White
House grounds and Pennsylvania
Avenue were guarded by policemen
and flooded with newspaper men.
Everything was in martial readiness
at the White House to meet a Red
demonstration of Unemployment re
lief. P'or hours the President, news
papermen and photographers waited.
But not a Red showed up. It was a
false alarm.
Three days later, fourteen per
sons were arrested outside the White
House. The group carrying ban
ners of “Mr. Hoover We Demand
Food and Lodging,” “Mr. Hoover,
You Have Money for the Entertam-
ment of the Fascist Assassin Grandi,’
were promptly arrested. Leader Her
bert Benjamin explained that fifteen
hundred “hunger marchers” would
demonstrate in Washington when
Congress sits.
Murderer Shakes Governor’s Hand
After Governor Wilber Marion
Brucker, of Michigan, had made a
speech in Ann Arbor, he was at once
besieged by the usual flock of hand
shakers. Stewart H. Redner, of the
University of Michigan, pulled off
the unusual in the monotony of pleas
ing handshakes. When Redner said
“1 killed my grandmother today
Governor Bruck smiled and said “I’n
glad to make your acquaintance.”
California Press Gives Mayor
Walker the Razzberries
Mayor James John Walker wa;
disagreeably surprised to find him
self peppered with hot words from
the California Press when he arrived
there last week. As Mayor Walker
left New York to agitate “as a pri
vate citi'zen” for a pardon of Thoma;
Mooney, he thought he was going
on “an errand of mercy,” but some
Californians classed it as “Impro
priety . . .” “Easier than attempting
to clean up the Aegean stench
Gotham,” “Publicity Spectacle Prop
aganda Hippodrome . . . Ballyhoo.
Navajos Die of Cold and Starvation
Navajo Indians of New Mexico
had quit hammering silver and
wearing blankets in anticipation cf
gathering the huge yield of pinon
nuts which grow on stubbly pines
atop the two great mesas, Cerro Alto
and Santa Rita. After establishing
wives and children in the region, the
husbands left the family in charge of
braves. In a few weeks snov
ered the land and the Indiana
reduced to starvation. Three bun
dled braves trudged back to the In
dian settlement at Zuni and informed
U. S. Indian agents of the peril of
their red-skin charges. Seven hun
dred and eighty-nine nut hunters
have been rescued, but two hundred
probably subsisting on panip rr
were unaccounted for.
M, Laval Triumphs
With asmashing vote of 325
150, AI. Laval’s series of victories
in France produced predictions that
his government will outlast the pres
ent Chamber and conduct the French
election next spring.
Page South African Pound
“Pound” suggests something that
has gone oflf the gold standard, the
British pound. South Africa’s pound
has not left the gold standard, how
ever. Premier Hertzog said last
week that his Government “plans” to
have the South African branch of
the Royal mint strike a new basic
coin containing 113 grains of fine
gold.
CHRISTMAS ETIQUETTE
{By Lotta Boloney)
Do they laugh when you sit down
by a Christmas tree, or are you af
flicted with B. O. (boundless opti-
), gimmeosis, or a lack of It
during the giddy Yuletide season
, Lotta Boloney will solve all
problems in her free ten-cent
book on Christmas Etiquette. One
gaze at the stars and she can
'thing from the best method
of getting a Packard roadster or
twenty-fifth to how to make time
with your roommate’s boy friend.
Just to prove she’s on the up-and-up,
she hereby donates free-gratis a
points on Christmas etiquette which
should aid any college girl in
desperate struggle to act like a lady
during the holidays.
1. Bus and train conduct—Any
tricky looking men in the vicinity
will not be deceived by the old drop-
the-handkerchief scheme. Clevei
girls display a Ballyhoo or a Salem-
ite, which usually proves sufficiently
tempting enough bait to lure
male within shooting distance.
2. What to do with a small
brother—The question often :
on holiday dates as to what t
with that petted small animal, the
little brother. If one’s boy friend
becomes annoyed by his barks, bites,
and innuendoes on the carpet, it is
perfectly proper to give him permis
sion to lock the pest out on the door
step. (If one’s family just can’
this, tell them to write Lotta Bo
loney.)
3. Christmas dinner etiquette—
At an affair of this nature one or t
of the polite white lies so dear
society are usually necessary. When
asked what piece of the chicken
turkey one prefers, modestly mention
that at school they serve only the
feet, backs, and necks of the fowls
and that one would like to discover
what the breast and liver taste like.
(If this doesn’t work, ask for them
outright!)
4. Hints for popularity—While
out mingling with one’s life long
friends, assume a modest, dreamy at
titude to prove that being a college
girl hasn’t made one snooty, only
murmuring such occasional remarks
as, “My, but this town seems dead
after college life,” and “Heaven:
where are all the cute boys?” This
attitude impresses everyone with the
fact that one loves one’s school and
insures popularity during one’
Lotta Boloney is simply full of
little points of etiquette such as these
and will be glad to impart them
anyone who will call at the Salem
office—all for the nominal sum
one bus fare home.
