dfeRAMBUNG 1 if m 'round JJ J1 N£W YORK * Lwrth -HUG44 KENNY A group cf publishers assembled recently to hear a disctission and demonstration of "sound books,” phongraph records that will play an hour and twenty minutes to each side of the twelve inch' disk. |t\ made possible by crowding the ■•moves to 5 00 to the inch and slowing the speed of the turntable. .

X ; .\ s, followed by a stomach opera-. -■an showed the following con n •: 5 84 fine upholstery tacks, H4 carpet tacks, two chair tacks, or.-.: round-head thumb tack, 3 thumb tacks, 46 small screws, 6 medium screws, 80 large screw, 1 ho.m-hape screw, 30 small bolts, a~ large bolts, 3 picture frame hooks, 3 nuts, 3 safety pins, 1 head of a nail, 3 brass nails, 8 3 straight pro, 59 assorted beads, 4 pieces of v ir.-, $9 pieces of glass, 1 piece of a tea cup handle . . .She worked m a hardware store five years ago, j and began swallowing thirfgt She i .-•wallowed them for a week and hadn’t swallowed any £ince. "I j haven’t had a square meal in five ■ tears,” she said. "I don’t know why I did it. Don’t ask me any more. I want to forget it all and put it out of my life,” she said I "and go home.” The sweepstakes stories remind j me of something read moons ago ; about striking oil in one of the j Southwestern states. They offered a fabulous sum to a laundry driver for his house and his land. He accepted. "What’ll you do with the monev?” he was asked. "Hum .... I think,’’ he replied, "I”ll get smebodv to take my route on Sat urdays” The colors in Fifth Avenue win ch vs at this time of year tend to make you believe you can shed your overcoat. They’re misleading that way, but the merchants are for ever trying to steal a march on the weather. * * * Do snatches of overheard con versation leave you guessing? Here’s a choice bit I’ve thought of for days . . . Two well dressed women, getting off a bus. Said ane, "Queer, I grant you. But nad, I will not say.” And the bus svent on. *!c -It There are twenty-eight Shetland ponies at the Bronx Zoo the only domestic animals in the whole park. And they’re the only ones that earn a penny—ten cents a ride for chil dren . . . Taffy is the smartest of the lot, and the only pony that can stand on his hind legs. Taffy loves to pose for cameras, and to top it all off, he’ll pick a handker chief neatly off the ground . . . . Soon they’ll all be carrying de lighted youngsters around the same track that’s been used for the pur pose for thirty-four years. * * Rudolph Bell filled his trays with butterfish for the aquatic birds and a bucket with moss bunkers for the polar bears and then ex plained that he had the only job of the kind in the United States. He’s the butcher-chef who caters to the plates of 4000 mouths of the Bronx Zoo. It’s a very special menu that he prepares and the 'Tine condition of the animals testifies to the expert knowledge that has gone into its making. Improvement In Rail Territory Roanoke, Va.—More than $19, 000,000, an increase of nearly 31 per cent over 1932, and 161 per cent over 1931, was invested last year in the establishment of new industries and additions to existing plants in the territory served by the Norfolk and Western railway, it 'was announced here by Gilbert ;T. Wood, Norfolk and Western ag ricultural and industrial agent. Commenting on prospects for continued improvement of business conditions in the territory, Mr. Wood said that more active projects are under consideration at this time than perhaps at any time since 1929, in practically every line of industry production has been in creased. "There seems to be anj underly ing current of confidence among the majority of the leading manu facturers which did not exist dur ing the first part of last year,’ he asserted. I_ DO LIKEWISE I The orator, mounted upon the i usual little platform, was trying ? to convince a small and unenthu l| siastic audience of many amazing I facta. "What would you say,” he de manded, if I told you that thi rivers of the world were drying up?” g From the back of the crowd g- came a voice: 8 "Go thou, and do likewise.” 8 -- § Two married men were convers p ing. One had been married fo & several years, the other for only § few months. The older marriei p man remarked that before marriag •8 his wife’s favorite book was "Th S! Three Musketeers,” and they hai p triplets now. The other said, "m p goodness, my wife’s favorite bool 8 is "The Birth of a Nation.” » Si --- p The boys say they like a pepp p girl, but if they get married to th 81 peppy girl, they will have to d BE j sonic real work. 173 DRUNKEN DRIVERS IN \STATE ARRESTED IN MARCH Raleigh—Drunken drivers ar irested on state highways in North j Carolina totalled 73 in March, I compared with 75 in February and 61 in January. The boys are told not to play with bad companions, and they obey this command quite faithfully when in sight of home. The motorist who asks why they don’t do something to stop au tomobile stealing, would do some thing for that cause if he would lock his own car ts'hen he leaves it on the street. May be all right for the poli ticians to "feel the pulse of the people,” but they should have looked at the people’s tongue more when they were getting the sick on undigested securities. ~~ WHAT MOTHER SAID A certain young girl cried pite ously after her young man had proposed. "Why are you crying, dear?” asked the young man solicitiotisly. "Have I offended you?” "No, dear,” answered the girl, "that’s not it. I am crying for pure joy. Mother always said I was such an idiot that not even a donkey would propose to me, and now he has.” ---j She: "I think that rifew step is crazy but perfectly adorable. Where in the world did you run across it?” He: "Crazy step, hell, garter is slipping, slipping, gone.” At the dog-show Willie’s poodle pup was on display. Fearing that folks handling the . pup might dirty his beautiful hair, Willie placed this sign above the doggie’s cage: "Don’t handle, he leaks.’’ American Legion War Pictures — No. 1 going into action.
