Good Evening!

Sips for Supper
The spilling ot the beans over the
plans for a capital group was prob
ably perpetrated with the idea of
heading off the state office build
ing." says the Noo Statesman edi
torially. It probably was done with that
idea, seeing it was the Noo States
man Itself that spilled the beans.
And for the same reason, it un
questionably was a dud, as the Noo
Statesman went on to say. .
Let's see, while we're at it, the
foreman of the same Noo
Statesman a little time ago
made some remark In print
about some column writers, how
the longer they write columns
the worse they get. We notice
the Noo Statesman for Sun
day carried a Saturday date
line. It seems that with some
foremen, the longer they fore
the worse they get.
At any rate, the principal of the
high-school Is determined to get at
least a half-Nelson on this cigar
ette smoking by the students.
And. also speaking along cigar
ette lines, we wish to pay a belated
tribute to the memory of the late
James Duke, tobacco king, who
died a few weeks ago. Dear old
Jimmy Duke. It was at about the
tender age ot 13, as near as we can
remember back through the vista
of the past, that, accompanied by a
sack of Mr: Duke's well known mix
ture, we went out behind the barn
at the old home and rolled our first
cigarette. Since that time, as near
as we can figures, by taking a nor
mal, estimate, we have smoked 2,
204,600 cigarettes. This impressive
total was launched under the aus
pices of Mr. Duke and his well
known mixture. We suggest to the
high school boys who are now
learning to smoke that we speak
from a wide and consistent experi
ence on the subject. It may be they
enjoy walking a mile now to get a
certain well known brand of cig
arette. But when they have kept at
it as long as we have, they won't
be able to walk a mile.
So we pay our belated tribute to
Mr, Duke. He may have founded a
university with his millions, but he
also raised hell with a lot of pairs
of lungs.
Just to be exact, we wish to add,
that the 2.204.600 cigarettes we
mention above dont Include the 22
we've smoked since the above was
written.
When we got out of bed this a.
m. and looked out the window, we
saw a flake in the yard. No, it
wasn't Ernie, it was just snow.

PLANE SWOOPS
FROM SKY AND
STRIKES AUTO
San Bernardino, Cal., UP) A Sun
day motoring family of six, includ
ing a grandfather, Monday was
describing to their neighbors the
frights and thrills ot having an air
plane swoop out ot a snow swirling
sky to collide head-on with then'
automobile and ot how good It was
to have escaped with nothing more
than a severe Jolting.
The lone aviator, who was caught
In a raging snowstorm which
swirled down from the San Bernar
dino mountains to the fringes of
Southern California's orange groves,
likewise was alive and able to tell
the unusual tale.
On the records of San Bernardino
police station, where the survivors
were brought Sunday night by other
motorists, were written the serious
facts, and the saving humor of the
highway collision. There was the of
ficially given but humorous state
ment of William Tlce, the white
haired motoring grandfather, that
the plane and the car were on their
own or the -ngnt sides oi me roao.'
Richard Crooks, the aviator, re
ported that the snowstorm sweeping
out ot Cajon Pass, forced him . to
turn back towards his air field at
San Bernardino. Its Increasing fury
forced him to seek a landing where
he could, rather than endanger
himself among the s now-hidden
wires and buildings of this city. The
road, and an apparently clear
stretch, presented Itself. Crooks was
about to set the plane onto the
paved highway when the Tlce
motorcar poked out ot the white
wall ahead. -
