The British re-armament.. program seems to have been started at the last pos- sible moment, and if this procrastination had not taken place, war might have en- sued before this. The fact that Great Britain is not ready has delayed the com- ing European conflagration. » If you find people who are not so Yociferous in their dentinciation of the illionaires who are guilty of tax evasions you think they should be, just bear in ind they may be a trifle embarassed, and have found a loop-hole themselves. Fhe, President, who brought up the mat- ter of tax dodging, is doing a little soft pedalling himself. No sooner'has President Roosevelt re- turned from his fishing trip, than Vice President Garner, in servile imitation of his boss, goes on a fishing trip of much longer duration.

He was not ambitious, and judged by the world’s standards he did not amount to much. But he had a heart of gold. He | was a friend of childhood. Each week he drew $390 as wages, of | which he used $10 for his modest living | expenses and saved the rest. When the opportunity came, he hired a_ traveling set up in the neighborhood for as many days as_ the savings on hand would permit and turned | the outfit over to the poor children in the vicinity for their free enjoyment. This procedure was repeated many times. When Big Jim died he did not leave enough money to pay his funeral expenses, but his children friends, some now grown up, chipped in and gave him a_ decent burial. Fifteen hundred ragged kids of the East Side caused a traffic jam through their insistence on paying a last tribute te their idol. Their little hearts were sad, and tears trickling down grimy cheeks be- spoke their grief because the friend they loved was gone. i jai : To the world at large, Big) Jim,)Tull didn’t amount to much, but he, broug! sunshine into the livesof ~many ., unde: privileged boys and girls, bésides teachin: them a practical lesson: in’ benevolenc How many of us have done mote?’ SIDELIGHTS By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen There is something in a name. At any} rate the Damm sisters, Florence, Helen, Margaret, Agnes, Jeanette and Gertrude, convinced a New York judge, who after | hearing their story of embarrassment caused-by ridicule of their family name permitted them to change it to Gorman. Alert Chicago policemen trailed Joseph McLaughlin, who was seen driving a car with one hand and holding a hand- kerchief over a crying child’s mouth with the other. Thinking him a ‘bold kidnaper, the cops halted him, when he explained that the child was his own daughter who had just had a tooth pulled. Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach, world-famous collector of rare books is Jewish and cats kosher food prepared in conformity to orthodox practices, which is not strange. Unusual, however, is the fact that his cook is an Irish Catholic. Marie Hall of Pittsburgh has am- bitions for fame, but does not choose an oversea flight as a means of self-expres- sion. She wrote the Niagara Falls police department: ‘Please tell me how I can go over the falls in a barrel; I am 32 and do want to go over the falls in a barrel.” Progressive golf by ¢ gaits pork air planes is a British innovation.
