Practical Paragraphs Soliloquies of a Back woods Philosopher By JOHN EDWIN PRICE They’ll Break Down Crying J. Edgar Hoover, expert crook catch, advises that yon and I cease using bullets to stop burglars and get tear gas guns. He says: “A tear-gas gun is just as effective anj it’s much safer for the average motorist or private citizen. A dose of tear gas will incapacitate the criminal.” A tear gas gun may eventually incapacitate a criminal but in the few split seconds before he starts breaking down crying what will he be doing? Brother Hoover doesn’t aay, but we fancy Mr. Criminal won’t be picking daisies, unless it is with a forty-five,' off . our coat lapels. , Now Process For Child-bearing Doctors have, during the past quarter century, been very parti cular that the conditions surround ing a “baby case” were warm and sanitary. With the best of care difficulties often present themselves. With this in mind the case of Mirs. Alton Jourdon. of San ford, N. C., iB especially interest ing. She stooped over a well.

Perfected hydraulic brakes, high compression engines with full-length water jackets, and balanced carburetion are among the mechanical improvements.

It is to be hoped that women wanting quick, easy deliveries will not take this too seriously and go jump in a well. Hold Your Breath A dog was being walked on a Sacramento, California, roof. A butterfly flew by a few feet from the roof’s edge. The dog leaped for it.. He landed five stories below—on a big bush—unhurt. Let go your breath. Catalogued Galt Everything is made so easy now-a-days. Cars have self starters. Electric clocks don’t have to be wound. And now gals are catalogued foir easy and satisfactory dating.

This ought to simplify matters greatly in a large center where there are gals and boys every where but whom doesn’t know how to date up which. Prepare For The Presidency In Your Spare Time The old copy book used to say, “In time of peace prepare for war.” Now-a-days people are adding “and you’ll get it.” Tony Beckman, six-day bike racer, believes “while you still have one job, prepare for another.” Tony has been doing this and believes he’ll get it. For six yea^s, while working at- bicycle racing, he has entertained other racers between laps by playing on his violin. He now teaches violin in a well known New York school. Tony, now Anthony, hopes to some day “conduct a large orchestra at Madison Square Garden during a six-day race.” Lincoln said “I will prepare myself and my chance will come.” He did and became presi dent. Have you any spare time? Thu King Doesn’t Rule, But Victor Emanuel III of Italy is king but to all appearances he doesn’t rule. And yet millions in Italy would doubtless say “Long live the king.’1 Mussolini would probably be among them since, contrary to the wishes .of some, Victor Emanuel, thirteen years ago, affixed his signature to documents conferring absolute power on the Black Shirts. While this five-foot-three “Monarch” spends most of his time out of sight, he did recently review troops with Mussolini and has raised no objections to two princes serving in Africa. One may be forgiven for won dering if Italy will ever have another king since the “ruling” functions of this one 'appear to be confined to two hours a day occasionally giveai oyer to “audiences." _ Prtunr* Against Religion Lessened The German police have re ceived orders not to interfere further with church politics. Religion has seen many types of government rise and fall. The new minister of church affairs. Hans Kerri, is evidently deter mined to regain Protestant and Catholic favor for the govern ment. Governmental regimes are temporal. Religion deals with matters-eternal, here and here after. Two Foot Tswsl Loft In Patient Nearly everyone has heard of the surgeon who had to re-open an appendix wound several times to get tools he had left inside. He was finally requested by the patient to put a zipper on the opening. According to the venerable New York Times a surgeon in. Leningrad. Russia, recently left a two foot towel in a patient. The towel absorbed the patient’s life or something. Anyhow, he died. Now the surgeon, Aarshavchik (you sneeze to say it), will spend a year in jail. Netherlands “Short" little time Lands. A communique said there ; was a shortage. However, it was : generally understood it was in i the interest of cessation of | hostilities between two countries. Guess .who? One shaped like a boot and one in a terrible shape. Untie Sam With Upraised Hands No, this title does not refer to another international hold up. Uncle Sam has been asked to play the role of peace maker between Bolivia and Paraguay. The Chaco Peace conference has asked that an American jurist act as president of an interna tional commission to name the one guilty for starting the recent war. Just what good that will do isn’t clear, but it is a peace idea anyway—we are told. Don’t Last Long The cabinet of Pandeli Evan gjeli, Premier of Albania, re signed just about the time the government representative in Geneva was “refusing to join in sanctions against Italy.” The cabinet had only been in power a year and ten months. Not For Nothing “From 20,000 to 60,000 miners in the South Wales coal fields went on strike in sympathy for the 2,000 miners who vowed to stay down in the pits until the owners of the colliery at New port, Monmouthshire, discharged the non-union workers on their pay rolls.” The above news item is in teresting in the light of the fol lowing statement recently made by Owen D. Young, one of America’s foremost business men: “Fortunately, we are, making great progress in these difficult relationships. We are trying to think in terms of hum#n beings —one group of human beings who put their capital in, and another group who put their lives and labor in a common enterprise for mutual advantage.” Sentence Stimulant* Some folks always look to some distant day to get their fun-pay for the work of living.
