JUNK STUFF AS NEWS $ ge Lines The newspapers have recently given copious space.to reports about an alleged brawt betweenian “heiress” and her hus- band but just why anybody should think that millions of people in the United States are interested in the details of the affaiy escapes us. If the press associations want. to go in for reporting brawls, they gan pick out F bloodier and nastier ones. They might lack the Alleged “glamor” of an “heiress” which seems to be the prime essential these days of a series of telegraphic news dispatches, hut they could more than make up for this lack of presenting more artistie refinements to the brawling art. Much the same comment applies to a recent special feature article from New York telling the world what five hoboes think about the United Nations: Who cayes? It might pass asa bright idea among the journalist-boys, to. narrate the ela expressions of the hoboes, but the. reader eutitled to their possessions.

It does not protect the oceupants of over- turned boats who cannot swim a stroke.
