A universal compensation prevails in all conditions of being- and FASHIONS IN HUMOR Nothing shows more clearly how the people of the United States have changed in a generation than a few melancholy reflections on the death of James Mclntyre. As a member of the team of Mclntyre and Heath he was known to everyone when father and grandfather was a boy. Back in the minstrel show days from the 1870's to 1900. the inimitable Mr.

Mclntyre played in shows that wowed "em viith "What Are the Wild Waves Saving?" and at the Window Binding Shoes." Mclntyre was doing his famous soft-shoe dance when the traveling minstrel shows -were burning deep into the American consciousness the songs of Stephen C. Foster. "Way Down Upon the Suwanee River." and the others. Into the sparsely settled towns of the new west went the their minstrel choruses, end men. and the wheezy jokes hurled at "Mistah Bones." But the proof of the popularity of this stage team of Mclntryre and Heath lies in the fact that their show "The Ham Tree." played seven or eight consecutive years, and was revived in -whole or in part up to 1919.

Onlv five years ago the aging team appeared with Rudv Vallee on the radio. We know what kind of songs made the tears run down into grandpa's bushy mustache. But what kind of gases rolled "em In the aisles when ''The Ham was the "Abie's Irish Rose'' of this day? Heath would chide Mclntyre (both in blackface) for discontent, and ask ''Dirn't I take you out of a livery stable where you were only gettinsr S2 a week and put you on a salarv of S20?" "Sho! ShoT Mclntyre would reply. "But ah used to GET the from the livery stable." Whereupon the audience would fall out of the seats and roil convulsively in the aisles. Try it on your youngest son and watch the blank stare, succeeded by incredulitv that anyone could ever have thought THAT funny.

Yet he will laugh himself hoarse when W. C. Fields asks Charlie McCarthy why he doesn't marrv a cigar-store Indian and raise a lot of little clothes-pins. Humor is about the most perishable stuff in life, and fashions in humor change more often and more stemlv than fashions in hats.

And yet. perhaps, it is a change of man- Tier rather than nf matter, and the -witty Frenchman was right when lie sighed "The more it chansres, the more it is the same WORKING COEDS More girls in the United States will work their way through college than ever before this year, if you can take figures compiled by the University of Iowa as typical of the rest of the country. Those figures reveal further that the coed is more choosy about her work than the average male student. Boys applying are apt to take anything 1 and be happy over it. They will even start to school on a shoestring- in the hope that they can pick up any odd jobs which will pay living expenses.

The girls, though, want assurance of a place before they enroll. More than that. they indicate the jobs they want and most of them lean toward typist and secretarial positions- College employment bureaus mourn that jobs of housemaids, for instance, are going begging while there is an abundance of neat young women waiting with pencils poised for business dictation. FUN FOR CONGRESS If there's a numerous side to any serious problem you can always depend on the house of representatives to ferret it out, intentionally or otherwise. That's one of the lighter sides of our national political set-up.

Regardless of what the outcome of the sit- down strike in the house against the wage- hour bill might be, the picture of John L. Lewis' sworn enemies employing his own proud tactics to block the bill closest to labor's heart has its funny side. For Mr. Lewis, at the capitol to urge passage of the bill, the reminiscent sight of congressmen sitting down in the corridors break a quorum must have raised conflicting emotions. "Well, other men have been hoisted by their own petards.

THE AMATEUR PHILOSOPHER By John Watson Wilder DESOLATION" Driving: today through the where for two years millions of people reveled in the glories of the Century of Progress Exposition. Gone are its beautiful buildings; only here and there does one remain. Gone the exhibits of man's progress throucrh the century. Gone the giory. Here we were taught lessons of new beauty la line and form and color.

Here we thrilled to the never-to-be-forgotten Arcturus Ceremony--that gleaming aura of lijrhts turned on by a ray of from a a ray which has been traveling 1 through space at unbelievable speed since the other World's Fair, forty years before- Xoiv desolation blankets the grounds. Workmen li'tles'sly in the earth, implanting trees and rhrjhri for the park which is to be. Piles of dt-yris still linger; why should anyone haste even to carry away what remains of such beauty? Ber- ,11 seems to me, that It should ascend towards the heavens in the of life the begin- nirg of the world--living fire and swirling smoke. But has the beauty really been destroyed? Does anything of beauty ever cease to live? A flover may lose its perfume, face and die. It on in the beauty It ha" added to the ti.ousrhf: and chasactcrs of those- who saw h.

EVERY FOURTH WORK DAY "'Americans must work nearly one full year out of every eight--or about six weeks out of every year--just to pay the cost of the federal government," says the United States Xews. "When the local and state government costs are added to the expenditures of the national government, the average American must -work two years out of every eight to pay the cost of The tax collector gets a cut in every pay check. His unseen hand reaches in and takes part of all the money you spend--for food, amusement, clothing, train fare, power service. And his percentage is today greater than It ever was in peace time In this country. The Twentieth Century Fund estimates that total government costs have swelled to $17,000,000,000 a year.

That is approximately 25 per cent of the national income in good times. When you work four weeks, the public treasuries take your earnings for one of the weeks. During the next year or so we are going to "make or break" so far as the tax problem is concerned. Every branch of government spending must be checked, from the national capitol to the city hall. We will have a let-up in tax boosting when, arid only when, the voice of the people demands it.
