West Citizen The year 1932 was pretty tough for most of us, especially for Gilbert’ Colson of Chicago, if he happens to be among the unemployed. His wife presented him with twins twice during the year, one pair be- ing born in January and the other in December. Glen Parks, of Seattle, has brought suit to,have the marriage of iis son, Ear], annulled on the ground that the bride hypnotized Earl into matrimony. But Mr. Parks should kuow that this is only an old feminine custom, sanctioned by precedent from time immemorial. Geteigeniosion Brdadcasting stations have some odd requests from listeners, of which the fol- lowing is a sampie: “Please — breadcast over WJZ that I have for for sale a tea set used by George Washington. I stole it from my wife and now must sell it to pay alimony.” Here are the names of < few post- offices which suggest methods of trans- portation: Wagon Mound, N. M.; Wagon- tire, Ore.; Wagontown, Pa.; Wagon Wheel Gap, Colo. Trucksville, Pa,; Train, W.Va; Bicycle, N. D.; Auto, W. Va. A recent New York Herald Tribune headline read=: “Speech Defects Rare in Girls, Expert Reports.” It must have taken a lot of research io find that out. How in the world could we get along without those “clever experts?

Anna Kriochik, of Chicago, cutwitted two. of them the other night. That is, for a minute or two. When they held up Anna and her escort sitting in a parked car, she quickly tucked her diamond ring rnder the seat cushion. Then the bandits put her and her boy friend out and drove off with the car —and the ring. The best parachut« expert in the Brit- ish army is an Irish sergeanc, “ho takes WHY CAiL !T SPORT?

Fortunately, in most of the smaller | communities and in the lesser schools there is stillto be found activity, in whi friendly rivalry and-real sportsmarship are the rule. But the events which draw the crowds and fill the sport | pages are marked by bitterness and fre- onently result in long-standing feuds. So long as the public demands this sort of thing it yee no doubt be supplied. But why ca_! it Bportd LONGEY: ITy (Tampa Tribune) A British surgeon, when asked what he considered the surest way to live to be a hundred years old, replied he would be- come a peasant or a pauper ana be re- eeived into an English poo:house. In English almshouses longevicy : the rule. The focd is piain, inmates rise and retire early and are without care. For these dependents on society there is work to do but they are not overworked. Their own long life is the best testimonial for: their formula for longevity. Thomas Parr, of Alberbury, who was reputed to have lived to be 152, is given the honor of being England’s foremost con- tender for the Methuselah cup. He at- tribrted his long. life to “sorry faire but free from care,” and the fact tha. ne was famous as a sleeper may alsc have had something to do with his great age. Simple fare, no care, much sleep and little labor kepteOl. Parr,” so: tradition says, alive more than one and one-ha’* cen- turies, but in the end he was a victun of rich foods and intemperate eating. After two months feasting by Charles I and the Ear] of Arundel he died. Parr was supposed io have been born in 1488 and died in 1635. There is doc- umentary evidence that he was farming in 1522, 1564 and 1585. When supposed to be 80 years old he married for the first time. That was in 1563, The two chil- dren from that unien died in infancy. Be- fore her death in 1595 Mrs. Parr caused her husband to do penance in a white sheet in the Alberbury church for an affair with another woman. He threshed corn at 130, he married for the second time at 122, and when he died an autopsy found his organs sound.

The plan has been proved of value, as better re- sults are cbtained through intensive solicit- | ing of a selected list of prospects than through random efforts.
