For it seems there are two other Joe Morans, who were not arrested, and who desire very earnestly that the public generally not get mistaken ideas concerning them. There is, for instance, Joe Moran, who is employed by the Altoona and Logan Valley Railway company. He is not the Joe Moran aforementioned as having been arrested. And then, again, there is Joe, also Joseph, Moran, who resides at 915 South street, East End, and who Qonducts a barber shop at 713 Seventh street And he, too, is not the luckless Joe Moran above mentioned.

Crosby Am I sor-ry? could hear tears of: regret (plashing on every breakfast table in town yesterday morning when The Morning Crow was absent from Its customary nest. Sorry, Dear Public, but it couldn't be helped. It's really your fault anyway. You see, the boss appointed me to chase around on this bank story and, if you or some of you hadn't be-'n so foolish as to yank your money out of the vaults, I wouldn't have had to work so hard ind the Crow would have crowed as usual. Haw the best thing all of you can 3o is to put that cash back where you got it.

I (have a vivid picture of grandpa sitting in front of the Tireplace with the old flintlock across his knees, guarding the family treasure. Or of maasa putting a well-filled sock under her pillow before she goes to sleep at night. Mavbe the people who drew money out of the banks last week need a sock. But you can't put money in the kind I'm thinking about. i The girl friend had broken the crystal of his watch.

He was irritated no end and he was discussing the roper punishment. "What would you do to a girl who broke the crystal of your watch?" he ajked a friend. "Give her the works," the aforementioned friend suggested. rIn New York they're saying Lhat the cause of the depression is the depressing colors of men's clothes And they're suggesting brighter colors for spring. For instance, the modernists of fashion are talking in plaids and checks no one will object to checks the higher the better or in vividly patterned materials.

Gfeen will be the popular shade. They can talk about colors in men's suits all they want to. But it's going to be some time before I'll have nerve enough to stroll down Eleventh avenue in a green suit with a mustard-colored vest. And perhaps a pair of olive spats. And you'd have to pick your company.

Imagine a gentleman in magneta atid pink if the lady was attired in orange. I suppose it may come to the point where you'll have to call up the girl friend and ask her if it's all right for you to wear the saffron evening jacket. And if it doesn't match her color scheme, you'll probably stay home. Journalism has been vindicated. Capper's Weekly says there are very few newspapermen in jail.

But, on second thought, maybe that's only natural. Newspapermen are usually too busy to go to jail. A University of Iowa professor spoke at length last week concerning the misrepresention of the midwest in popular novels. He says that life out there where men are men and have a chance to prove it, isn't anything like the pen pictures of Sinclair Lev is, Sherwood Anderson, and Homer Croy. And that's an opportunity to rise In defense of Altoona.

I've wanted to repudiate George Jean Nathan ever since he spoke of this city in the same paragraph with dill pickles Punxsu-tavney. But maybe Altoona is coming into its own at last. At any rate, Tannie Hurst mentions the burg In her latest literary effort and it's the breaking-in point the writer of -a baseball story in a recent issue of Collier's. That's more publicity than the town has received since police stopped the announcing of the World series baseball game on Sunday back in 1927. TO SUBMIT REPORT WASHINGTON, Mar.

The long awaited report of the senate campaign funds corrfmittee on the investigation of the nomination and election of Senator Davis of Pennsylvania will be submitted to the senate tomorrow.

It is this congestion the Northern road would care for, giving better safety to the traveling public. WOMAN, 71, FILES SUIT AGAINST CROONING RUDY NEW YORK, March 2 OT An other law suit has been filed against the crooning orchestra leader, Rudy Vallee.

The suit, by Miss Pauline Klemp, 71-year-old sister of a religious order, asks $25,000 charging slander. Miss Klemp's suit sets forth that in may, 1929, she was in a bank and overheard a young man ask a young woman to repeat after him the words: have just received $100 from Rudy Vallee." The young man added, according to the suit: "This is the last money you will receive from me because I am going to commit suicide." Miss Klemp observing the young man to be depressed, consoled him, giving him her cross. Recently, she said, she heard the name of Rifely Valee again and learned his identity. She said he was singing a song in which he said: "Pauline Klemp saved my life and saved my soul. Pauline, I love you and want to marry you." Vallee, appearing in Chicago, denied he every sang such a song or even that name.

His attorneys characterized the charges as "preposterous." WANTED 25 women for house to house canvass. Women with experience preferred. Apply at 313 Chestnut avenue tonight between 7 and 8 o'clock.

Ammerman said that he was formerly employed by a railroad company at Buffalo, and said the reason he stole was that he was out of work. He was sentenced to serve a term of one year in the workhouse.
