Some one said recently that before be- coming intoxicated with 3.2 beer, you'd drown. The daily papers beat the weeklies in publishing the news, but the gossips beat the: dailies.

When the market is at its height the smart boys stage a bear raid and all the suckers lose out. It has been done so often that there is no ex- cuse for anyone with an ounce of brains monkeying with the fool exchange. It is said thit the average man playing the mar- ket has a twelve-to-one chance of making a profit. Better get the money into some useful business. The chances there are about five-to-one.—Miami Post. Better luck next time, beau. That cross-state canal is getting certain cities yery cross with each other. Tampa is gonna fight it to the first and last ditch. Central Florida cities approve of the canal if it comes through their main street, Tam- pa wants the canal to run through Hills- boro county to some point on the east coast. Jacksonville wants it to run from Jax to some point—not near Tampa—on the west coast. Miami thinks the canal is a lot of hooey—which it is nothing else but. A sat- isfactory canal can be built starting at Jacksonville and ending at Tampa, touch- ing Daytona Beach, Fort Pierce, Stuart, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Okeechobee, Oca- la, and other points enroute—not omitting Key West.—Miami Post. According to the above the cross-state canal is either suffering from unpopularity of overpepu- larity. Key West doesn’t favor the state canal because it already has a fine one, 90 miles wide, running between Key West and Cuba. | | of Walton, as he was born in | THE ANGLER’S SAINT One of the most quaint and lovable characterstin history was Izaak Walton, | whose fame. rests principally upon a not-} able treatise on fishing, called “The Com- pleat Angler,” published 280 years ago. It has been written of him that “there is hard- ly a name in our literature, even of the first rank, whose immortality is more se- cure, or whose personality is the subject of a more devoted cult.” This year is a sort of triple anniversary 1593, 340 years ago; published his most famous book in 1653, 280 years ago; and died in 1683, 250 years ago. It is also said of him that “multitudes who never put a worm on a hook have been caught and securely held by his picture of the delights of the gentle craft, and by his easy, leisurely transcript of his own simple, peaceable, lovable and amusing tharac- ter.” In addition to his “Angler,” he wrote several charming volumes of biography dealing with the lives of distinguished personal friends, of whom he had many, most of whom were devotees of the pisca- torial art. In contrast with the vast majority of those who have gained lasting fame through war and strife, Walton has lived to charm succeeding generations by his gentleness, kindness and love of nature. He may well be considered the patron saint of fishermen. WHAT OF HEALTH FADS The subject of how to live long is al- ways of interest, which perhaps accounts for the eagerness of the average mortal to sieze upon various methods which are rec- ommended for promoting health and long- | evity, such as doing daily exercise to radio music and the like. However, there are many who are skeptical regarding the real benefits of strenuous physical activity. One of these wrote a letter to the Cleveland Press, point- ing out that Walter Camp, famed athlete and originator of the “daily dozen’ died at the age of 65, while he, the writer, had never taken any kind of exercise to speak of and was still in excellent health, al- though a great-grandfather. He added that © ie longest-lived people are the phy- sically lazy but mentally alert.” Commenting on the letter, William Feather, a well-known editor, declares that several years ago he adopted a_ vigorous health program, including vegetarianism, cold baths and the daily dozen, with this result: “Acute indigestion led to the abandon- ment of vegetarianism on doctor’s orders. Another doctor recommended discontin- uance of cold baths. The daily dezen are still pursued, but faith in them has been shaken by the untimely death of their in- ventor.” Still, we may find many who swear by the health fads and feel that their lives have been saved thereby. As the proverb has it, “What is food for some is black poi- son to others.” POST’S WORLD FLIGHT In completing a solo flight around the world in 7 days, 18 hours and 49 minutes, Wiley Post, one-eyed Oklahoma aviator, set a record which is likely to stand for some time to come. This was accomplished | in spite of a crash at Flat, Alaska, which almost ended the attempt. Post's former globe-cireling flight in company with Harold Gatty in 1931 con-} sumed 8 days, 15 hours and 51 minutes. On that flight Post acted as pilot and Gatty as navigator. Post arrived in New York in time to exchange congratulations with Gen- eral Italo Balbo, who led 24 Italian planes in their flight from Rome to Chicago. The General said: “Tam most glad on the last day of my stay in New York to meet Mr. Post after his splendid world trip. — I think no single man will do what he has done for a long time to come.” “It is possible to be learned and yet not have any sense,” says William Lloyds Phelps.
