And a cynical columnist remarks: “It’s marvelous how some people discover things; only on the job five months and. found ~that out al- jready.” Airmail instead of telegrams has been ordered by the government for all but the most urgent messages. This edict came after Governor Miller of Wyoming galled attention to the.fact that the NRA sent him a 644-word telegram concerning the New Orleans milk code and another of 1,488 words about a similar situation in Tennessee, . Being janitor of a bank is sometimes preferable to being a director. So thought Charles, Williams, director‘of the Ramapo Trust Company of Spring Valley, N.

Cross, fugitive salesman who had embezzled $1,000, hitch-hiked» from St. Louis to Nashua, N. H., to plead guilty of the charge. Carl Hubbell of the New York Giants recently smashed the National League re- cord by pitching 46 scoreless innings against his opponents, being stopped by the Boston Braves. The previous score- less innings record in the Nationa) was 44, attained by Ed Reulbach 265 years ago. But these fall short of the amazing feat of Wal- ter Johnson, the former “Big Train” of the Washington Americans, who pitched 56 scoreless innings away back in 1913. a Oe A a ees Ve mie in the midst of sizzling heat which nearly overcame him, Horace Dutton of Davenport, Ia., recently filed a claim for a cool $934.50 against the city. Dutton avers that on February 8 he was so badly frostbitten while shoveling ‘snow for the municipal authorities that he suffered the loss of three fingers and permanent dam- age to one foot. Readers of a Durango, Colo., news- paper were amused recently by the head- line “Mutton and Lamb married in Den- ver,” but it really wasn't quite as bad as that, A’ sleepy telegraph operator was to blame. . The “high contracting parties” were Douglas Hutton and Mary Laub. In a season replete with unusual base- ball stunts, mention should be made of the feat of Fred Shaffer, a farmer boy pitcher of New Castle, Pa., who held the Pitts- burgh Pirates to two hits and one run in an exhibition game played in his home town a few days ago. New Castle won, 2to 1. An ltalian flyer has flown upside down for 2 hours 8 minutes 54 seconds, thereby proving that a man can fly upside down for 2 hours 8 minutes and 54 seconds. —New York Sun. THE CAREFREE HOBO In this day of government. regulation of everything, ead teary of transgressing some favorite code, the life of the carefree hobo seen > rather attractive. He doesn’t have to worry about meeting payrolls, nor Anes he fear a hoycoti because he can’t dis- play a Blue Fagle. ‘There was a big hoboes’ convention in Chi-ego.a ce ple of weeks ago, and one phiiosc phical delegate, known only by the name of “SI.” told in a few words the story of a hobo’s life. Now the hobo, it | mut be remembered is a different char- acter vom the common tramp or bum. The | hobo travels from: place to place, but, he | is willing to work, and does work, when- ever opportunity offers. The three classes—tramp, bum and hobo—haye been described thus: «The tramp is a traveling non-worker; the bum is a stationary non-worker, but the hobo is a traveling worker, who accepts seasonable or temporary employment wherever he can get it, But let “Slim” tell about the hobo in his own words. He says: : “The hobo may be defined as the stiff who built the railroads and rides the rods; who built the highways and hitch-hikes; who stackes the wheat and eats stale bread; who mowed the hay and sleeps on it. About the only surplus remuneration he ever received for his essential services was his freedom, and he will not easily part with it,” And, come to think of it, there are some compensations for the hobo’s rather precarious existence. He doesn’t jhave to dress up in uncomfortable: clothes; he doesn’t have to conform to a lot of foolish social customs; he doesn’t have to listen to luncheon club orators or other speakers who bore us superior folks stiff. Maybe it’s fun to be a hobo, after all. BUNK ABOUT VITAMINS A lot of the propaganda going about concerning dieting and vitamins is the bunk, according te Prof. Solomon Strause, a well-known scientist, who declares that the normal diet of normal persons provides all the vitamins needed. Ali this talk about vitamins, he says, is something comparatively new, dating only from 1911. Much attention has been given to the subject, but even today, little is really known about it, Manufacturers oi yeast and special foods have attempted to capitalize the popular idea that vita- mins are an all-important component of one’s diet, bu. many of the claims made uy advertisers of food fads are foolish. Prof. Strouse asserts that all nutrition- al needs wili be met by a diet including a quart of milk daily, two fresh salads, two servi..gs of ieafy vegetables, one serving of meat and libeial! quantities of butter, cer- eals, fruit, tzvead and water. He adds that when the nutritional needs of people suffer because of poverty ox a disturbance of the food., supply, ill health can apparently be traced to the lack cf something in the diet, but this does not necessarily mean a deficiency in any par- ticular vitamins. From all of which it may be concluded that ‘almost any kind of “whol e° food provides a satisfactory diet, so far: as imaintaining health is concerned. ‘But dists must have their fads, and ¥ following a fad makes a faddist happier, why not let him (oftener her) go to it? SPEND AND SAVE NOW A recent Dun & Bradstreet report ac- centuated a fact of the utmost importance: For a number of months business re- covery kas continued without recession, and present signs do not indicate that any recession wil occur in the near future. In other words, we are not having a “vise in the depression” now. We are ac- tually throwing off depression. The wise property-owner will do well to think that. over. It means that the country is through with bargain prices for commodities and services, that the terrific oversupply of goods and labor isn’t going to. last much longer. It means higher prices. It means that if we put off fixing our houses and business property or rebuilding the totter- ring garage for another few months, we are going to pay a lot more for what we get. Yes, it’s time te build, to improve, to repair.
