WILL UPSET WHEN
I
Will Rogers threw an Oklahoma
lasso around the hearts of a nation
But one time, long before he had
brought a nation into laughing sub
mission by hLs wise-cracking, gum
chewing, rope-throwing. Will became
so despondent over his failures in
throwing the lasso that he wept, cut
his rope and went to sea. W. C. Field,
famous comedian of the stage and
screen, and pal of Will Rogers thru
out the latter's stage and screen
career, is authority for the story.
"Will loved to tell the story of how
he went to South America to teach
the gauchos to lasso cattle. 'Those
gauche,' said Bill, 'stood about a
hundred yards behind me, threw
their lariats over my head and roped
their cows after I had missed on my
throw.
" 'I felt bad, I can tell you. 1 even
cried about it and cut up my rope.'
"BUI said that after that disap
pointment he accepted a position as
chambermaid for a parcel of mules
being Bent to Durban Natal, south
eastern Africa, but he came back to
make millions laugh."
Handicapped children will be the
principal beneficiaries of the Will
Rogers memorial fund. By handicap
ped children the memorial commis
sions means those suffering from
blindness or other physical disabil
ities; those who have been victims of
Illness who can be brought back to
partial or complete activity through
expert medical attention; those
without parents or whose parents
lack the money to give them the pro
per shelter, schooling and home care.
If you wish to help keep the spirit
of Will Rogers alive in this work so
close to his heart, bring or send your
subscription to this office. It is the
aim of the commission to have mil
lions of Will Rogers friends partici
pate. It Is not the size of the sub
scription, but the subscription Itself
that Is Important.

for clemency, the death sentence
would not bo disturbed and Haupt
mann would be executed.'
Asked whether his conference witn
Hauptmann in the state prison
death house and later with Dr.
Erasmus Hudson, a defense witness,
and the defense attorney "indicat
ed" there was some doubt in his
mind as to Hauptmann's guilt, the
governor replied:
"It indicates no such thing. No
one In the world knows how I'll
vote on this thing. Some people
say my moves are political. They
are not political. If it could be
proven to me that not only Haupt
mann. but any man Is innocent.
I wouldn't be moved by popular
clamor or maudlin sentiment if I
never got another vote, it is a
matter of duty to satisfy myself
about this case. I've got the greatest
burden."
Wife Silent
The governor said that Mrs. Hoff
man had "refused" to comment on
the case to inquirers. The Jotirnal
quoted her as saying she was "sorry"
for Mrs. Anna Hauptmann and the
couple's child.
The governor steadfastly declined
to reveal what took place In his
Interview with Hauptmann. He Just
ified his visit by saying the case
was before the court of pardons
"from the moment there was ft
conviction."
Asked if he had any new evidence
In the case, the governor said the
only thing before him was "rep
resentations by both sides." Some
persons, including Col. H. Norman
Schwarzkopf, the governor said,
think Hauptmann guilty, and others.
Including Ellis Parker, Burlington
detective, think him innocent.
The governor denied he had in
his possession an affidavit purport
ing to show the ladder evidence
was "framed."
The governor left for Detroit to
attend a safety council meeting to
day. He said he would return to
night and denied the trip had any
relation to the Hauptmann case.

Unofficially, the highest here seem
to have an assured outlook on the
credit situation. If Miey had desired
to speak, they would have said some
thing like tills;
Federal reserve policy has been to
encourage excess reserves In the belief
that this would eventually bring pres

break up the Ice. First symptoms of
thaw have now been noticed. Prob
nbly the FRS had nothing to do with
it, but, at any rate, the test of the
policy pressure is Just now about to
be mado.
Thus, it Is hardly reasonable to ex
pect thnt the board will reverse itself
with vigor.
If the highest further disclosed
their minds on this most Important
issue (it involves inflationary or de
flationary pressure from Washington),
they would say:
It Is true that the FRB open mar

bonds In the open market to offset a
deflationary movement which now
has ceased. Instead of gold going

tee brick was propelled more by a de

other motive power.
The sum total of all these reactions
to the advisory council demand,
therefore, seems to amount to one
simple word: "No."
Note Remember, also, that the
present federal reserve boardsmen are
now anxiously awaiting reappoint
ment to the White House.
The best tea-table story of the
budding social season la the one
about a Washington society leader
and a governmental commission.
It seems that this commission Is
one of those obscure overworked gov
ernmental authorities which meet
once a year, or theroabouts. Its Aug
ust meeting for this year was held
here a few weeks ago. The commis
sioners, including some representa
tives from a foreign land, wcra invit
ed by the society lady to tea.
The big day for the commissioners
saw them properly arrayed m striped
pants and authoritative stiff collars.
They made a very dignified formal
appearance in the salon of their of
ficial hostess, but were somewhat dis
concerted to find her missing. Her
secretary explained ahe had been de
layed on business.
Their feet began to ache after half
nn hour of shifting their weight from
one to the other. Then the absent

necessary, as the lady was attired In
horseback riding raiment. The secre
tary took the rap, as they say In
Tammany social circles, explaining
that she had neglected to remind her
mistress of the engagement.
The lady herself made a gracious
apology and said she would Join the
party as soon as she could dress. She
must have been delayed at this, also.
The commissioners, after waiting
until their feet were fairly screaming,
decided unanimously that they had
other engagements.
They left to rest up for another
next year.
