He watched her pinning on baby’s clothes, and at last his anxiety got the better of him. “Nurse, are you sure this is a new baby?” he asked. “Why, yes, dear,” she replied. “Well, nurse, if he’s a new baby what are you mending him for?” was the surprising inquiry. Inevitability “Speaking of taxation-” began the man who likes to help along the worry. “Why not talk about the weath er?” interrupted Senator Sorghum. “They aren’t the same thing.” “Yet they are some what alike. When a rough climatic experience is due you may talk about it as much as you choose, but you’re going to get it just the same.” IT WAS SO LONG Mr. Perch—What a fortunate es cape you had from the man’s hook. Miss Perch—Yes, but think how the nasty man will lie about me. Gasoline Money A dusky bootblack was confiding the other night that he had another job—playing in one of the WPA bands. “How come you’re shining shoes, then?” he was asked. “O, everything I make extra here is gasoline money,” he replied.— Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Do you really feel that she is ready for the battle of life? Mrs. Brown — She should be. She’s been in four engagements al ready. Too Early Little Jane noticed a bouquet -of flowers. “Where did you get the daisies?” she asked. “In my garden,” was the reply. “Ours aren’t ripe yet,” she said wistfully.—Indianapolis News Reason Enough. Mrs. Brown—I heard the Widow Black was going to have an opera tion. Mrs. White—What has she got? Mrs. Brown—A fat bank account, mostly, I guess. Look Ont! Willie—Oh, mother, here’s a lit tle green snake! Mother—Well, stay away from it. It may be just as dangerous as a ripe one. Amazed Speed Fiend (as he slowed down a bit)—Wheel Don’t you feel glad you’re alive? Timid Passenger—Glad isn’t the word. I’m amazed. TELLING HER rr—r • She—They say opposites should marry. He—That’s the objection to beinj a thin man. - , Adventurers* “Steps of DespairJ* By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter E’VE got a yarn here today from A. Edwin Fatscher of » r Port Richmond, N. Y., who now works in the oil refinery business. Ed says he likes the oil business because it’s so nice and safe. Outside of being blown up, or burned up, you don’t have anything to worry about So he’s glad he quit his job as a refrigeration engineer, where you never knew what was liable to happen to you. Ed says refrigeration engineering wouldn't be so bad If it weren’t for thg ammonia they use in a lot of those big commer cial refrigerating plants. You know, as a rule we think of ammonia as a stimulant. I’ve seen many a guy brought out of a dead faint by just a whiff of it under his schnozzle. But if you get enough of it it’ll work just the other way—as Ed can doggone well tell you. It was in 1923 that Ed got his biggest dose of the stuff. He was new at the business then, and detailed to work as a helper to various of the experienced engineers on the staff. One day they got a call to go .to Newark, N. J., to fix a machine that was not working properly, and on the way over, Gaynor, Ed’s boss said: “I hope I don’t have to take an other lungful of ammonia gas today. My chest still hurts from the last dose I got I couldn’t stand another one.” But whether he could stand it or not, Gaynor was slated to eat one heck of a lot of ammonia before the day was over. They arrived on the job—a plant in the cellar of a produce com pany—and found that they’d have to take the head off the com pressor. Gaynor set Ed to draining off the ammonia, running it into a pail of water to kill the fumes, and dumping the water outside. Ed had emptied two buckets of the stuff and was going back for his third, when he was greeted with a gust of ammonia that almost knocked him over. Something had gone wrong down there in the cellar where Gaynor was working on the pump! ^ Apprentice Improvises Gas Mask to Effect Rescue. Ed leaped back into the fresh air and wiped his eyes. His flfst thought was of Gaynor, down there in the cellar. Already weakened by Ammonia Gas Knocks Ed’s Boss Cold. Ed Gripped the Unconscious Man by the Coat Collar. previous doses of the stuff that day, Gaynor wouldn’t have a chance in that hell of biting, searing gas! “I knew,” says Ed, “that he must have been knocked un conscious. Otherwise, he wonld have been ont in the air long before this. I knew, too, that If I were going to get him out alive I’d have to act quickly. A man can’t live more than a iew min . ates in fumes that are u concentrated as these were. I.grabbed * a rag that was lying on the ground, saturated it with water and tied it around my nose and mouth. Tanking my cap down low to protect my eyes a little, I hurried., down into the cellar where the machine was.” , The first step Ed took down into that gas-filled basement almost knocked him off his feet again. In spite of the cap brim, fumes got into his eyes and blinded him completely. In spite of the water-soaked rag around his mouth, the deadly, biting gas burned and scorched his lungs. Foot by foot he crawled through that cellar, but at every step he felt he couldn’t go an inch farther. Gaynor’s Peril Is a Challenge to Ed’s Courage. Fumbling,, groping, he searched for Gaynor’s body. “I finally lo cated him,” he says, “but hy that time I was just about done for and had to rush back t > the open air to keep myself from passing out My head was bursting, r>y eyes streaming tears, and my nose burned as if it were full of lighted phosphorus. Before I left I had managed to pull him a few feet nearer the door, but that had taken all my strength. By that time, the fumes had penetrated the store above, and the owner came rushing out into the yard. Ed told ~Jm to rash over to the fire house for u gas mask, but he knew that Gaynor would be -'ead long before hat mask arrived. There was nothing to do bnt face the fumes again—and face the fumes he did. A second time Ed went down into the cellar and groped his way to the spot where Gaynor lay. “I kept my nose close to the floor,” he says, “and crept toward, the place where I had left him. It seemec. as though I would never get thereout finally I found him* and got a grip on his collar.” Ed Has Another Job Now and Likes It, Thank You. After that it was a battle—a grim battle to determine whether Ed got Gaynor out alive, or fainted himself, and lay down to die beside him. Foot by foot he dragged Gaynor toward the door. When he got to the bottom of the stairs, he was ready to give up. But he couldn’t give up then. Gaynor’s life depended on him At last he was out of the cellar, into the fresh air above. He grabbed a pail of water and threw it on him, then bathed his own face with water from the hydrant “I still had a job on my hands,” says Ed, “for Gaynor was full of ammonia. I started to work on him, but soon after the fire department arrived and took over. They fought for bis life a long timt.. Finally they brought him around—but not to work. I took him to bio hotel and he didn’t see an ammonia compressor for five days.” So now Ed’s working for an oil refinery, where the worst that can happen is an explosion or a fire. , ©—WNU flervlc*. Strongest Indian Confederation There are nearly 2,000 mountains in the Adirondacks, some of them towering more than a mile in height, and the Iroquois, who pos sessed them, built up in their vig orous and bracing climate the strongest Indian confederation in history.

The business man gives his a long and carefully even point The generous person makes a long, narrow, uneven point which breaks very easily. The man with artistic tastes cuts a long, irregular and finely sharpened point, South America Near to Europe The South American continent extends 2,000 miles farther, east than New York.
