De- Munis Otic' nut PHtllSHlER SOCXATIOI Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry The next thing on the tapis, Is the making and breaking of New Year's resolutions. Several early citizens have already re olved not to make any for 1946. The need of the nation Is for an unbreakable resolution, 1hat won't" break like an 'un breakable' windshield. e e Diamonds are expensive and Jiard to get, a survey discloses. This Is due to a heavy demand by people who fear inflation, and want part of their wealth Jn precious stones. In case of a depression and famine, there are many things more nourish ing than a $4000 sparkler on the little finger. YE ED GETS TUP (Del Norte (Cal) Triplicate) "Director C. Filbert is nuts (or should we say well pleased) with the progress and .ttemdance of the Glee Club and wishes to announce that the membership have decided to make their first public ap pearance on Christmas Eve. It now appears butter Is now under the counters, where the cigarettes used to be, and more of same is in the soap, than on the pancakes. e e The President In his Christ mas message to the nation and the world, urges the following of the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, as the solution of the woes of mankind. He urges more old fashioned religion, ana fewer atomic bombs. It means flying to faraway lands for camp-meeting, instead of a diplo matic conference thRt gets no where. e There were r couple of Yule mix-ups.

No, narry a scratch did either one of them get on their person. The only dam age suffered by either one of the battlers was when one of them got the entire seat of his bell-bottom trousers cut away slick and clean." (Harold Haynrs Writings) e e e People are putting out bread crumbs for birds. The early sparrow gets them. A noted chef lists 237 ways to cook potatoes. The shoe string' stvle Is mentioned, but not shoe-sole. e e e "YULE MUSIC ON RADIO ITT" (Hdllne Siskiyou News) Thnro were times when It sure sounded like one. e e e The Fear Russia society round here deny any 'Red scare', but insist somj of the red dresses are a fright. WEATHER Northern California: Occa slonal' light rain central and no'th portoln today and tonight, but generally cloudy otherwise through Thursday. Little tem perature change. Moderate southerly wind, fresh at times, north portion. Use Mall Tribune Want Ada, Editorial Correspondence Mt. Klsco, N. Y., Dec. 21 A little snow Is a nuisance but a heavy snow like this is a miracle. The country is amazingly beautiful, especially where the little creeks run between huge high rounded banks of snow, the creeks down below like black, highly polished crinkly metal In contrast with the pure white frame and then the trees above outlined In snow, sparkling in the brilliant sunlight. In spite of the sun, however, too cold for the snow to melt except a mere suggestion around noon. But what a shame, these incongruous motor-cars, with clank ing chains, plowing along the snow-covered highways when there should be sleighs and bob-sleds, not digging Into the Snow But riding smoothly on top of itl Station taxis hard to get, the main difficulty being no chains on the market, and the old chains wearing out and breaking up. We had forgotten tire chains could be so destructible, few of them bearing up under a trip to New York and back, around 70 miles. And then they have such a habit of getting loose find making a terrible racket on the fenders. But we finally did get a taxi in time to make the 8:90 for N. Y. e e e e e There across the street from the Grand Central station ran into a large crowd, with firemen, policemen and a couple of fire trucks in evidence. Another example of the incompatibility of this gas-engine age and nature. As a result of this downpour of the "beautiful" the N. Y. street ing snow from a truck down an open sewer, falling to put up a proper warning for pedestrians. One of our neighbors from Chapaqua (where the Readers' Digest comes from) running to catch a bus, slipped on the slush and slid at around 30 miles an hour straight Into the open man-hole, falling 30 or 40 feet down into the storm sewer leading underground to East river. An alarm was sent In and the fire boys, making a living chain, went to the man's rescue, finding him hanging onto a drain pipe in the watery darkness far below calling for help and near complete collapse. He was finally brought out but more dead than alive with a leg broken and probably internal injuries. If the man lives there will be a nice fat damage suit against the city, if he doesn't, well, his relatives will probably file even a fatter onel e e e e e Tried to get In touch with Coach Howard Hobson of the Uni versity (Oregon) basketball team and congratulate him on his great victory over Long Island "U," but he had gone, probably took a plane back to the coast with his team they came East that way. Tough luck to have missed the game, upsetting the dope bucket and registering Oregon's first victory in Madison Square Garden after all these years. The New York papers were enthusi astic over the Oregon team, picking out Hays for special mention, particularly his rebound shots. Hamilton and Wilkins were also favorably mentioned, and the team's speed and teamwork came in for high praise, Oregon leading the favorite L. U. at one time by over two to one, 29 to 14 as we recall it. e e e e e Never saw such crowds on the streets and In the stores, but then we have only been In downtown New York during the holi days once or twice In 30 years. The Mt. Klsco doctor says that because of the flu they should shut down the stores, theatres and box-fights in New York, we can see New York closing down ANYTHING when there is money ble monev tn ho m.d. r,. of itl And never before have we ".Hug as u taxing me customers hard-earned cash was extending them a great and unusual favor, which was not appreciated by the uncouth intruders. e e e e e Well, we don't wish anyone any hard luck, and hope anything like the depression of 1929 can be avoided after this war. but it will be nice If the time ever comes again, when one can not only buy what one wishes to buy but can be spared the feeling that the deal should never have been made and the man who took your money really wishes you had stayed at home and kept your filthy lucre in the bank! Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt has Is, In the Judgment of this department, well qualified for a position on the U. S. delegation to the UNO meeting in London. In fuct, we would trust her Judgment in international matters, as well as all matters Involving peace and the atomic bomb, far ahf-ad of such members as Senator Connolly, Senator Vandenburg and Mr. Stettlnlus. Mrs. Roosevelt has courage, too, a genuine devo tion to human welfare, regardless of national boundaries and vision. What all the other members lack, including Secretary of State Byrnes, is VISION. We hava seen a great deal of In Boston and New York, principally the New England Baptist in Boston and the Presbyterian in New York the latter with all l(s branches one of the largest in the world. Like the Eastern hotels, the hospitals are literally overflowing, the demand simply can't be satisfied, and no doubt there will be hundreds of deaths, particularly In the very young and hospital care been available, would We have seen a great deal the nurses, and we would like herewith to take off the editorial chapeaux to both for the heroic and heroic is the word, work they are doing, and with one object in view and only one, to save lives. It is really absurd, and only shows how distorted our sense of values has become, that we shovel out medals and decora tions wholesale for heroism and self-sacrifice In war, and give none at all for the same deeds demanding the same high qunlltles of character In times of peace!

It would seem the parrot has been greatly maligned. It Is gen erally believed this bird cannot think for itself and never knows what it is talking about. Since I first mentioned this libel on the parrot I have heard of many parrots who give Indications of being able to figure things out. Only today our highly efficient maid was telling us she once went to work for a woman who owned a parrot. As she, the maid, was cleaning the living room the vacuum cleaner went out of order. As she started to fix it the porrot, which had been watching her Intently, said "Can I help you?" Pauing By Peggy Hollywood Cummins, British cinema cutle, she Is an ambrose blonde. This type of blonde was No. 14 In preference in the list of blondes. However, since "Forever Amber" became a best seller It has moved to No. 7 position. Miss Cummins says some of her ancestors in Ireland were named Hollywood, hence her middle name. It Is an un usual name, but the San Fran cisco ball club once had a third baseman named Hollywood. He was killed In action In World War I . . Senator W. Lee O Dan lel, the gentleman from Texas claims one of his greatest en joyments is entertaining his rel atives. He said: "I have taken big house tn Washington. I department was engaged in pour seen to many surly clerks, her faults who hasn't? but she eastern hospitals recently both aged groups, which, had proper never have occurred. of the doctors and even more of want a place to entertain my rel atives when they visit me. Most people don't like their in-laws, dui i do." Look Alike Some females seem to have persuaded their husbands to go in for the "look alike" Idea of attire. That Is, the husbands and wives wear suits of the same ma terial. This is a ridiculous idea. It makes the couple look like a small time song and dance team, The woman who persuades her husband to go In for "look alike' clothes is usually the type that suffocates his love with posses- siveness. Asking Queries from clients: Q. What were some of the childhood achievements of the Infant pro digy William James Sidis? Isn't it a fact he composed an opera at the age of four? A. I am not very familiar with the youthful accomplishments of the prodigy you mention. However, I never heard of his composing an opera. It Is a matter of record that at the age of five Sidis wrote a textbook on geometry. And it was written In Greckl Q. Has there ever been winter horse rac ing in New York or its imme diate suburbs? A. Only winter racing I know of held near New York was at Guttenberg, N. J., across the North River from the big town. The patrons viewed the races from a steam-heated grandstand.

She suggests that young women who wish to increase their num ber of male acquaintances or de sire to attract a higher grade of men buy riding habits, rent a horse and go riding in Central Park. However, the expert warns young women who take this hint to be prepared for some disap pointments. She says it some times happens when a distin guished gentleman gazes intent ly at e woman on horseback that he is admiring the horse. Please Note Columbia University's Dr. Harry H. Shapiro joins those who believe the transplanting of tee'.h possible and practical. Dr. Shapiro thinks it may even be possible to transplant a tooth from a child's mouth to that of an adult. And that the trans planted tooth will grow. So if you are worrying about not hav ing enough teeth to attach a bridge to perhaps you can start to hope a little. It may be pos sible in the near future for you to use transplonted teeth for that purpose. Compliments Married women like very much to be admired and com plimented by men other than their husbands. So states a young matron who confesses that is the way she feels about it and so do practically all her married women friends. In most cases the Inspiration of this wish is a com pletely Innocent one. The mar ried ladies like the compliments because it helps build morale. Keep this in mind, gentlemen. Don't fail to compliment a mar ried woman when the opportun ity offers itself. Might be a nice way of doing your dally good deed. Kansas Osteopath Opening Offices In Liberty Bldg. J.
