SMALL TALK
By MRS. RENN DRUM
DID YOU EVER HEAR OF HAVING A HOUSE X-RAYED?
Neither did I. at least not until this week, but it's likely to
happen most any day at the Walter-and-Ethel Abernethv
residence on North LaFayette street. The X-ray threatened
is for the purpose of locating an elusive safety pin which
caused a lot of trouble in the household this week.
The Abernethy's small daughter,
Julia, became tired of her milk diet
one afternoon ana decided to sam
ple the draw-string run in the bot
tom of her nightie to draw it snug
and warm around her feet at mglit.
As everyone knows draw.si.nngs have
a way of losing themselves in tiietr
casings so Julias drawatrings had
been equipped with small safety
3ins w ith which »o guide them back
to the opening whenever they lost
.heir way.
On the day when Julia attempted
to eat her drawstring her mother
round her with some twelve inches
Dr more of it crammed in her
mouth* When the string was res
cued it's safety pkn was missing and
lhat was the point at which things
started happening.
* * •
No one became excited, of course,
except Walter and Ethel, for young
Julia, the real victim, cooed and
beamed graciously a) receh ing more
*4tenW*i than she had eve? gotten
in hrw ssven incrrKos of life before.
And the Acaaor was exasperaaing
ly *»lm. explaining that, even tho'
die had swallowed me pin. If it
were closed it would cause no trou
ble and, if it were open and threat
ened to lodge at some inconvenient
point, the abdomen could be easily
opened and the pin snapped shut
without really opening the stomach.
Just as simple as that, he made It,
like snapping open your purse and
feeling the change pocket to be
sure your lipstick is there. Now
can you imagine doctors smoothing
things over like that, trying to rob
parents of all the agony they might
-niov when their children swallow
pins?
The Abernethys, however, had
horrible visions ol that safety pin
snapping Its Jaws at Julia's diges
tive apparatus and felt that an X
ray to disclose both the position and
the disposition of that pin would
ease-the tension. The little family
rushed to the hospital, the picture
was made and they waited tensely
ror its verdict.
It showed the baby’s alimentary
canal wfas as clear as her consci
ence!
The p|n still hasn't been found
but .the Abernethys — mother and
daddy—are determined to locate it
and get even.
• » •
At this point I would enter hasty
denial of any accusation that I
might be smiling over the light the
incident throws on parental atti
tudes. Far be it from me. For five
years now I’ve been overtaking
tacks, pins, needles and safety razor
blades and wresting them from the
protesting hands of my sons; I’ve
washed luminal tablets and moth
balls from the stomach of my
youngest, who has a taste for the
outlandish; I’ve snatched them
rrom the jaws of broken bottles,
broken electric light bulbs and fin
ger nail scissors; and expect to
continue the same proceedure for
another several years and, yet, I
still find myself wringing every
drop of drama and suspense pos
sible from each crisis. It seems to
be a quality inherent in parent
hood.
nprupos oi k>nriswiiiu>, a live jrcm
aid miss of my acquaintance, whose
parents, like most of us, have only
sufficient means to pay the ever
accumulating bills for household
necessities, became much interest
ed in one of the touching "empty
stocking" pictures which appeared
recently in one of the state papers.
\yhen the picture was explained to
her she became postively indignant
with Santa Claus and proceeded to
dictate a letter to him which read
something like this:
"I don't want you to bring me any
toys this year because I'm a rich
little girl and I’d rather you’d take
what you have for me to the poor
children.” However, as an after
thought, for fear Christmas might
be too dreary, she added,
“Just bring me a doll and an In
dian suit and a kitchen tea set, and
give all the rest to the poor chil
dren.’’
FAIL IS HOME’ FOR
MUCH ARRESTED MAN
TULSA, Okla.—(/Pj—Candidate for
the title of America’s "n^jst ar
rested man” is George Tipton, 58
rear old Negro here who has been
iailed 125 times since 1924.

His most noteworthy escapade
vas the theft, of a snow shovel on
he hottest day of summer Arrest
'd Mice for stealing a lawnmower,
le denied the charge, saying:
"I stumbled over it, and was too
azy to walk around it, so I just
mshed it away."
