Sips for Supper
By DON UPJOHN
By gum, we re not going to be
fooled by that heavy dew stuff or
Charley Wilson much longer. If
that wasn't rain that came out of
the sky along about noon today
and caught us flat footed in the
middle of it. then it was lemonade
that came down the Ohio river and
made a flood awhile back and it's
been popcorn that caused the dust
storms In the drought area. Yeah
we'll catch on to what's going on
sooner or later if this keeps up.
DOWNTOWN SKINS OF THE

Men at work.
Equipment in the road.
Slow Keep off the paint.
Oosh, those parallel parking
spaces look inviting. We suggest
the streets be cleared some day
and all the kids allowed to come
downtown and play the good old
fashioned game of hop scotch.
That'd make somebody happy, any
way. The stripes are marked off
just right for hop scotch.
The ears sure look cute packed in
the nice little spaces marked out
for them. That Is the few that get
into the spaces. They look as cozy
as sardines in a can and get in and
out Just about the same way.
It EFO RMED MAXIM
To him that hath shall be taken
away even to that which he hath
A lot of mad folks existed in
these parts late yesterday after
noon as the coast league opener in
Portland was just reaching the
windup stages. With two men out
in the last half of the last inning,
with the tying run on a bag and
a pinch hitter at bat, the radio an
nouncer over KEX advised the
waiting world he'd have to turn
over to a regular commercial broad
cast and began telling of the ad
vantages of a certain cleaning and
pressing parlor. The rest of the
broadcast was much appreciated.
Anyway, heavy dew called off the
game today.
There's one bet that's still being
overlooked in these traffic regula
tion reformations and that's chang
ing over all of the stop signs in the
city to the center of the street style
adopted along the Center street in
tersections and one or two other
places. The experience had with
these should be sufficient proof it
would be a well timed investment to
do the same thing wherever stop
signs are now hid by brush, lines
of parked cars, or are otherwise in
accessible to the gaze of motorists.
Looks like a real chance for acci
dent prevention.
Speaking of motorists we have a
query from one as to which car has
the right of way at an intersection.
We'd say in response to same that
at the intersection along downtown
Trade street a good share of the
time the Espee sawdust cars have
the right of way.
