“Is that the hardware store?” in
quired a telephoned Voice last
week.
“Yes." said George Lampley.
“Is that Mr. Lampley?” asked the
Voice.
“Yes, it is,” George answered.
“Have you got any striped
paint?” persisted the Voice.
“Sure,” said George. “Sure, we’ve
got striped paint.”
“What price is it?”
“Well,” said George, “that de
pends on which kind you want.
Do you want white paint with
black stripes or black paint with
white stripes?”
The Voice hung up the receiver
with an admiring giggle.
Mrs. Starke tells of a colored pa
tient who came to consult Dr.
Beckwith about one of her numer
ous children. Dr. Beckwith had
difficulty in making out what the
child’s name was.
"Her name’s Q. S." said the color
ed woman.
“How in the world did you hap
pen to name the child that?” asked
Dr. Beckwith.
“Why Dr. Beckwith, don’t you
remember? By the time this chile
come along we had done run out
of names and you named this chile
yo'self. You told me to name her
Q. S.”
(P. S.Q. S. is the medical ab

A Chicago news broadcast gave
this item, which I waited in vain
to see in print.
Two men were on top of an oil
tank when there was an explosion
nearby, followed by a burst of
flame. The men knew it was only
a matter of time before their own
tank would explode. They rushed
toward the ladder, only to discover
that it had been blown to the
ground by the force of the explo
sion. They stood terrified upon the
tank, lacking courage to jump,
knowing at the same time that
they would certainly be blown to
pieces if they remained where they
were. At that moment there came
a second explosion. To their a
mazement and relief, the second
explosion blew the ladder back up
against the tank and the men
were able to clamber to safety be
fore the final explosion occurred.
Mother tells one on a friend of
hers.
This friend married an enthusias
tic hunter. He brought home ducks,
wild turkeys, birds, and finally, a
rabbit. His bride was learning to
cook and was fairly successful un
til he brought home the rabbit,
which ne had requested her to
prepare. At supper time he came
home and found his wife in tears.
“John,” she wept, “don’t ever
bring home any more of those aw
ful animals! I’ve been picking that
rabbit all day, and he’s no nearer
ready to cook than when I started!”

UNITED STATES SENATE
Committee on Military Affairs
March - 1939
My Fellow Citizen:
All the nations of impoverished
Europe wish to dump their politic
al, economic and undesired minori
ties upon us. There are extensive
and well financed groups of organ
izations in the United States
spreading propaganda by word of
mouth, through newspapers, mag
azines and leaflets, to arouse suf
ficient political pressure on mem
bers of the Senate and House of
Representatives to breach the im
migration laws and undo the work
of twenty years.
There must be an answer to this
propaganda. It must come from
you. I need the help of every man
and woman in the United States
who believes that instead of weak
ening the barriers which exclude
aliens from our country, they
should be strengthened. Let me
urge you to do two things.
Read the speech enclosed which
I delivered in the Senate on Feb
ruary 22nd, and write to your Sen
ators and to your Congressmen to
aid me to put legislation on the
statute books which will shut off
immigration entirely during this
period of unemployment and hard
ship and distress for young and old
among our people; and, further
more, to expel from this country
the alien propagandist, the habitu
al criminal and the alien diseased
or insane.
Yours for an American America,
Robert R. Reynolds, U. S. S.
CARD OF THANKS
I wish to thank everyone for
their kindness and thoughtfulness
shown me while sick and especially
