JAPAN OUTLAWS ROTARY
Japan has now discovered tht<t
the Rotary elub are ''hotbeds of espionage"
and consequently the Japanese
clubs, yielding to pressure,
are changing their relations with
the international organization.
Incidentally, it is to be remember
ed that Germany and Italy have al
try ? the making of goods?as an
even greater source of wealth and
human well-being.
Today, as a result, the United
States' Is rich both in agricultural
produce and in manufactured goods.
And to begin with, as far as farming
gees, it Is a land tremendausly rich
in milk, though honey isn't as m*
portant as It used to be. This country
produces about 50 billion quarts
of milk a year.
That's a lot .of milk. Much of it is
processed to make cheese and vari'
l
ready discovered that Rotary clubs
are dangerous. They are barred
from both countries. Japan had 47
Rotary clubs, with 4.000 members.
It is Interesting to note that these
countries, when undertaking their
aggressive programs, make a point
to outlaw organizations, like th j
Masons and Rotary., which exist in
nrai {.'/ally evqry free country of
the world. _
PEOPLE WAN"? DEFENSE,
NOT WAR
A financial authority recently
made this significant observation:.
"l.#et us be on guard against the
building of a war hysteria, l.et us
keep It clearly in mind that what
we are talking about is defense and
not going to war. This is the time
for clear thinking rather than emotional
thinking."
The standard polls indicate that'
while the American people are almost
unanlmohsly in favor of ade
quate preparedness. they are also
overwhelmingly opposed to belligerent
participation In the European
slaughter.
Industry does not want war bedause.
if for no higher reason. it
knows front its oxperienre in the
last World War that it results in
ruinous taxation and depression. It
will do all in Its power to tavoid
W-ar ? even while it does all in its
power to make our defenses so
strong that all aggressors will hesitate
at bringing war to us.
TO BATHE OR NOT TO BATHE
Sitting smugly In -95 percent of
the world's bathtubs, the people of
the United States seldom realize
that one of the world's burning quea
tions Is: To bathe or not to bathe.
The American Medical Association
News recently reported the discus
sion of bathing customs over the
world, in which the researcher
found that Parisians average a bath
every four months, while in Moscow
? Koihi.iV coota mrtCQ than
*?WUf i c a uaiuiuv V.UOVO u*va v .
a grand plan!?the average Is 18
months.
If the people of this country sit
smugly, the Nipponese sit snugly.
Their equipment consists of a bar
rel-shaped wooden vat, narrow and
round, that permits only of sitting
or squatting. For those who rail against
small water heaters, it is a
splendid country in which to bathe;
for the usual Japanese, bath is heated
to a temperature of 120 oegrees
and cold baths are used only by
penitents.
In the deserts of Arabia, the researcher
says, a bath is always
handy; one picks up a handful of
sand and starts scrubbing.

LAND OF MILK AND

The fabulous lands of ancient
times were those that were mefttton

Agriculture was the one great source
of wealth In those days; talk of
milk and honey emphasized that
fact.

As for Sally Willows, the dog
in her bath "who was too big lor
the house and too small for the
saddle" was really an important
matter. She was angry. But, on
the other hand, Tim was busy with
another phone, and the conversation
was confused?very confused.
As far as he knew. Dopey (the
dog) was not in. any serious
trouble...

unnoticinr organizational whirl of
Willows, Manning A Clare, making
him very unhappy. His sudden
appearance created considerable
i stir among the ofllce staff, and
barely a Word from his two other
partners. No other "angel" had
ever been treated so roughly. Willows
and Manning .had only to
worry about their wives. And they
' did have a worry, tdo.
Phil Manning's Wife called, and
when she bad hung up he looked
at Tim with a well-known look.
"That was Marion," he an'
nounced. "She's going shopping
with your wife and Irene Clare."
"Uh-oh!. ..The well-known bugle
i call," Tim flipped. "We'd better
start making money fast."
And they were right. Marian
Manning was thinking of "the
I most divine Picasso for $2600";
Sally Willows was on her way to
Celeste's for a new evening gown;
i -.nd Irene Clare, bearing a Peke
named Lionel, was. set to satisfy
the animal's flagrant need for, a
' new cushion. Thus, an afternoon,
e e e .
t Joel, who by this time had been
caught outside his office, was mlsI
erable while the others were busy
taking a photograph of a pretty
girl and pineapple juice?"to sell
i - pineapple juice. Nobody was asking
him a thing, and even fewer
people were listening to his advice.
Then the important Mr. Marlowe
called from Chicago, to tell
Manning that the Arm was net

bright idea. He huatled two beautiful
model* in Joel's direction, with
directions to prepare for Marlowe's
visit to New York?with a flattery
act. Joe] was bursting with importance.
-You do It, Joel," Tim said to
I him. "Take them in your office.
Tell them what to do?the' old
relative act, remember?"
"Just leave It to me, Tim," Joel
,, said, with a wink. He strutted off.
Meanwhile, Mr. Allan Plngboom
was becoming extremely angry.
Hie, too, was a big account at the
office of Willows. Manning A Clare,
hut he was having a good deal of

"Conferences! Conferences!" Pingboom
shouted, stomping his foot.
"Well, either I see Mr. Willows
today, or I walk out of the office

"No, please don't take that attitude,
Mr. Pingboom," Tim pleaded.
"If you'll pardon me for a
moment I'll interrupt Mr. Willows
and 6ee if we can't arrange for a
definite appointment for you." And
with a worried look, and barely a
glance at the water cooler with its
hidden fund of Scotch whiskey, he
left for Tim's office. .
He found him preparing for a

* Bannister
reminded Tim that
Dopey was on bis way out of the
Willows household, which made a
food idea mandatory, but soon,
lanniater had It, too. She suggested
that Tim try out his advertising
psychology?by buying Sally a
"little sweetie-pie dog" of her. own,
a dog which a woman would appreciate.
Then, she pointed out,
Tim could say, when the heart Was
on: "If Dopey goes to the kennels,
so does little Abernathy."
As for helping him get the dog,
Bannister turned him down.
"Listen," she told him, "I spend
all day In this menagerie. Don't
aak me to look at more animals on
my Own time."
As for Twill:
"In s word, NO!"
But Dixie Gale was new to the
Blace. And Joel hadn't given her a
sing to do.
"Do you like dogs?" Tim asked.
"Why, Mr. Willows . . ." she
purred. "Ah'm Just curraaazv for

furry ones."
"That's great...get your hat...
