Good Evening!
Sips for Supper
By DON UPJOHN
We sure got into a mess Saturday
trying to help out a young woman.
Little Mae of the' pink cheeks was
walking along State street and we
noticed part of her dress was dang-
ling below her coat and almost
sweeping the ground. "Pardon us,"
we said, trying to be helfpul, "but
part of your skirt Is coming off."
We're not saying what little Mae
told us but thats the last time
we'll ever tell a woman anything
about her clothes.
Jake Praegltzer of Dallas writes
over to tell us we're Just right about
these sideburns on the women's
skirts. "If France wants to see her
women swathed up like that it's all
right," writes Jake, "but I haven't
reached the point wnere I feel a
girl needs to be ashamed of her
most precious gift, her figure." At-
ta boy. Jake. "You oughta go strong
with the buttonhole club.
A business man was telling us he
got an envelope full of a candidate's
cards and the envelope had a 2-cent
due stamp on it. The candidate
got the cards back. It seems that
candidate's slogan la "In Salem We
Due."
This practice of hiding Easter
eggs Is all right when properly con
ducted. But on future Easters we
wish any bunny rabbit hiding an
egg in one of our coat pockets would
have It a little harder boiled than
the one we discovered there Sunday.
All the old time prophets around
here say that when it rains
Easter day it will rain seven more
Sundays hand running and that it
a sign that never fails.
Well, we've decided not to try
and Interfere.
How's Norblad running, is ft ques
tion frequently heard.- From last
reports he's running all over the
state most of the time.
We understand there were some
communists In that Rhode Island
prison riot Some of Al Llndbeck's
good old Rhode Island Reds, maybe.
All we may remark in the Sidney
S. George matter Is that we'd apol
ogize, too, if we were in his place.
Chambers of commerce all over
the state are getting worried about
the census matter. It seems they
have been making some claims that
apparently won't pan out. But why
worry? There's another 10 years
coming In which to make new claims.
But the chamber of commerce
needn't pick on us, we've done our
share.
Doggone, it's fine not to have
jealous wife. A new heifer calf ar
rived out at our farm the other day
and we named her Ann and the wile
never kicked a bit.
However, It was only a four-legged
calf, not a centipede.

FOREIGN CRITICS
Washington, tVP) The attention
of the senate was called Monday
by Chairman Borah, of the foreign
relations committee, to the ad
dresses by Andrew Geraud, poli
tical editor of the Echo de Paris,
and Llckham Stead, of the London
Times, who severely condemned
American isolation in Internation
al affairs at a dinner here Satur
day attended by President Hoover.
Borah quoted from published re
marks of the addresses by the two
foreign political writers.
Geraud and 8tead bluntly de
nounced the attitude of America in
lntcrnationla affair in their speech
es, made before the American So
ciety of Newspaper Editors.
President Hoover sat beside the
speakers at the dinner and listened
attentively to their attacks upon
American isolation.
The president's subsequent ad
dress was extemporaneous and
with the distinct understanding he
was not speaking for publication.
Borah, who not present at the
banquet, told the senate Monday
he would have something more to
say about "t at a later date. It was
believed at the capitol that he
would mention the speeches when
the senate considers the London
naval treaty.
Mr. Btcad referred to Senator
Borah In his speech. He said "We
are afraid America would be a nut
sance In tiie league of nations."
He said the representatives of
the other governments could speak
with authority before the league
but the representatives of the
United States would have to cable
back to the secretary of state, that
the secretary of state would have
to consult with the president and
that the president would then con
suit with Senator Borah.
