Just because afew of your smart friends make wisecracks about the people who go to church is no reason ‘for you to stay away. Tt has been said that the man who sings all day at-his work is a happy man, but unless his voice is harmonious the man at his side is to be pitied. i ld Three eminent ‘punsters named Strange, Moore and Wright were dining together, when Moore observed, “There is but one rascal among us, and ‘that’s Strange.” “Oh, no,” said Wright, “there is one Moore.” “Yes,” chipped in Strange, “that’s Wright.” In shelving the wage-and-hour control bill, and probably postponing it indefinite- ly, by sending it back to the labor.commit- tee, on December 17, the House of Repre- sentatives acted in aceordance with the preponderant sentiment of the people of all classes and in all sections of the country. _ | A man, having lived happily with his wife for many years, lost his.mate,.and,put the apt inscription, “My light -has gone | eut” on her tombstone. As time went on, he martied another, ‘but his conscience troubling him, he had another; line put-on | the tombstone, reading, “But I struck an- ' other match.” “ j A decrease of 221 in thé number of newspapers published in the United.States in 1937 compared with the preceding year is reported by the 1988 edition of N. ‘W. Ayer & Son’s Directory of ‘Newspapers and Periodicals, published recently. ‘Higher | labor costs and a sizable advance in news- | print were contributing causes. ‘Of course, | the radio did not help, either.

She is a Catholic and as such cannot ‘be a Jewess, so where does facial hatred apply? Jew haters run up against some peculiar snags. , A-casual reading of newspapers from many states tells us that 48 separate com- monwealths in the United States realize that the asset they possess is climate.

SUTHOR AT KEY WEST (From St. Augustine Record) Key West, which -has ‘been capitalizing for some time on its quaintness, charm and individu- ality, is much elated over the recognition given those attributes by artists and writers. -A front- | tival there of Margaret Bell Houston, granddaugh- ter of ‘the famous governor of Texas, Sam Hous- treveled over nearly all of Fiorida’s coastline looking for a locale for.a coming novel, but was \ not satisfied until she arrived in Key West, and ‘knew the Island City to be exactly the place she had in mind.” With .all due respect to Key West, which is | of course one of Florida's most charming cities, we do not see ‘how, if Mrs. Houston “had been over nearly.all of Floride’s coastline,” she happen- | ed to miss St. Augustine. This Oldest City has ‘such « flavor of aritiquity, so much that is histori- cally thrilling and dramatic, that we feel sure Mrs. | novel right here, had she tarried and fallen under balconied houses.
