O’Kelly’s interest in farming is limited to his desire to show that the
natural elements do more harm than good as far as agriculture is con­
cerned. He contends that heat and water are best applied indoors. He
supplies his heat through furnaces, his water through sprinkling cans.
Thus his crops never suffer from drought, wind or heavy windstorms.
Leslie’s great-grandfather went to Holland on business, asked in
his will that his descendants remain British subjects. They have com­
plied with his request, but their personal interests have kept them in the
Netherlands.
Mr. Johnson’s parents were so fond of a turtle they kept for 22 years
that when the son was born in 1906 he was named for the pet. Both

Aristocracy Is Real
Aristocracy consists in holding
one’s self above vulgarity and ig­

In hot weather it is not much

Try the next best thing—Look

Foes of Nazidom.
HE veteran Rabbi Stephen Wise
of New York has been reason­
ably outspoken in his views on Nazi
treatment of his own co-religionists
and the practitioners of other faiths
as well. And one of the most ven­
erable prelates of the Catholic
church in Europe, while discussing
the same subject, hasn't exactly
pulled his punches, either.
So what? A friend just back from
abroad tells me that in Berlin he
heard a high government officer
fiercely denounce these two distin­
guished men. About the mildest
thing the speaker said about them
was that both were senile. Some­
how or other, the speech wasn’t
printed in the German papers—
maybe by orders from on high.
Well, far be it from this inno­
cent bystander to get into religious
arguments and besides I have no
first-hand knowledge as to the Chris­
tian clergyman’s state of health, al­
though, judging by his utterances,
there's nothing particularly wrong
with his mind. But I do know Rab­
bi Wise, and. if he's in his dotage,
so is Shirley Temple. And I risk
the assertion that he would be per­
fectly willing to have one foot in the
grave if he could have the other
on Herr Hitler’s neck.
