“Good mawnin’ ma’am,” he hailed.
“Good mawnin', Mr. Donovan,” answered the matron.
"Well, I heard the news,” he said, jovially, “ ’tia quite a string
•of ears ye have now, ma’am.”
“Yes,” she said, crisply, “but the lasht wan was the caboose.”

Will Rogers’
Humorous Story
By WILL ROGERS
CTNCE Calvin Coolidge ceaeed to
^ be President the hoys in Wash
ington have been re-telling a lot of
f--JTS.-1
L
, jokes about how Cal saved up words
I at the White House.
One of the stories is about a
I newspaper man that met the Presi
dent away from Washington, out in
the Black Hills, maybe it was. This
here reporter thought he might get
the boss to talk a little when he
was maybe off his guard, so far
from home.
So Cal answered every question
with, "No.” Or he would say, “I
j can’t say anything about that,” or
■ “Don’t quote me.”
Finally, when the reporter was
about to go away, he says to Cool
j idge, "Say, Mr. President, ain’t you
going to give me anything at all to
I print ?”
| “No," says Coolidge, “and please
remember that everything I haven’t
said it not for publication either!"

A lot of chickens are coming home
to Washington roosts. In some cases
strangely enough, they don't receive
such rousing welcomes.
Take, for example, Don Steveus.
A year ago he was hired by the Amer
ican Federation of Labor as a sped
al organizer for the American News
paper Guild.
But out in Chicago, at a meeting
of the local Guild, he made a speech
asserting that he thought the Guild
should affiliate with the C. I. O. in
stead or the A. F. of L. The first
thing he knew, he was fired.
Now Stevens threatens to bring
i charges against the American Feder
| ation of Labor, under the Wagner
] Labor Act, for attempting to "influ
ence’’ and "coerce employees in the
matter of determining whether they
win join a union and which union tt
shall be.
