Friday, November 5, 1937 More than 600,000 words are defined by an unabridged dictionary of the English language The World and Its People R. W. B. LETTER OF THE LAW TYRONE hunters have found living proof that Dr, John R. Conley was wrong when he said, "We are a nation of lawbreakers.

Our statute books are So cluttered up with trivial, silly laws that run the gamut from prohibiting driving a nail on Sunday to spitting in the street that no man or woman can go through a day without some sort of law violation." THE Tyrone nimrods have discovered man who represents the height of law observance, and who, at the same time, illustrates to what extremes of self-control the human nature can go. MONDAY morning, he WAS out in the woods, all loaded and ready to go some time before the legal shooting hour of 9 3. mi. And then, at ten minutes of 9, some perversity of fate or downright cussedness of circumstances, guided 8 big turkey gobbler his way. IT'S safe to say that, since he was an ardent hunter, he had 8.7 attack of chills, followed by a period gulping as he watched the big turkey nonchalantly walk within 3 few yards of him then stop and begin scratching.

THE hunter raised his gun. but no! minutes yet till 9 o'clock. he knew. worse Tena luck, that he had the right time. No compromise with con- NOTICE! To All Clerks of The Altoona Food Stores The parade will form at 7th avenue and 7th street tonight at 6:30 o'clock.

The Altoona Tribune 4.000 Jam Mosque for Auto Show About 4,000 persons last night packed the Jaffa mosque hails to "get an yefu." of the more than 100 gilstening new 1938 autos and enjoy an evening of entertainment by popular radio stars of Pittburg's station KDKA, last night's attendance exceeding even that of Wednesday, night. Baritone George Heid, wellknown to radio audiences all over the country for his robust voice, acted as master of ceremonies last night in the absence of Glenn Riggs, who had 8.n engagement in Pittsburg he was unable to break. Songs by the Lawson sisters and blackface comedy by that funster, Elmer Waltman, as well 88 songs by George Heid featured last night's performances.

Altoona's own Weston Sisters, whose radio rise in the "Smoky City" has truly been phenomenal will highlight this evening's entertainment at the mosque with bevy of popular songs, sung as only they can sing them. The fact that they are Altoona, girls: plus their lilting voices one of the chief attractions for Altoonans. Jack Taylor, that famous comedian from the Major Bowes unit and star of the KDKA Strollers program and Leola Frazier, beautiful blonde songstress will top Saturday night's climaxing performances after a thoroughly suecessful auto show. Leola has enj red a recent rise in radio the reasons for which Altoonans and out-of-towners will see, hear and enjoy Saturday night when she steps out stage, Fifteen are cooperating in the show which is being staged under the direction of Paul C. Pommer, assisted by the show committee of A.

The average Japanese man knows nothing about 8 gun and never has handled one, unless he has been in the army or has been a reservist. THAT may account for the statement of a military observer at Shanghai who remarked that he didn't see "how the Japanese and Chinese could miss 90 often. I have watched Japanese and Chinese maneuvers carefully, and I feel that the regiment of U.S. marines or his majesty's Ulster Rifles now in Shanghai could attack so coldly and methodically and with such efficient marksmanship that they could engage fairly at least 8 brigade from the army of either of the belligerents." ANTON Verde. who is student of criminology, says, "America makes much fuss about her gunmen.

In a great continental nation like that, the press gives great headlines to some lone gunman, and the police take after him in droves. In Europe, they do not fear gunmen. They fear the deadly killer who prefers the knife, and who strikes in the dark. Where else but in America. that land of sportsmen and gun lovers, would you read of 8 dentist who shoots two bandits from his office window with a sporting gun? yet, in America, they are doing everything they can to make it hard for this people, whose earliest history is connected with firearms, to have them.

Their laws affect such law abiding citizens as this dentist, who stopped two bandits before could arrive. What bandits to police, do with laws? They can get gunsmiths who will make their own game. Or, they can do as bandita and criminals prefer to do in Europe they can use a knife. I can assure you that a thin knife is just as deadly as a gun, and it has this to commend it, it is easily carried and it makes no noise." Pennsylvania Receives Compensation Grant Pennsylvania has received a federal grant of $51,813.07 for administration of its unemployment compensation system, the grant being one of five received by Ave states amounting to $425,870.61, according to an official notification received by the Altoona branch of the social security board in the Commerce building, Munsey S. Gleaton, manager.

The fund is to cover operating costs of the state's unemployment compensation agency and is a supplementary allotment covering expenditures from Sept. 1 to Sept. 30 in connection with merit examinations for selection of personnel in the state's unemploy. ment compensation agency. The Pennsylvania division of unemployment compensation and employment service is administer- MY FRIENDS I THANK YOU for your votes of confidence given me in my re-election as City Councilman.

STALL District Graham Dealers Meet Yesterday afternoon over 60 Graham dealers, finance company representatives and factory men met at the Penn Alto hotel for a "pep" meeting at which they discussed plans for sale of the new 1988 Graham, the car "which looks speedy at a standstill." 0. P. Smith, wholesale representative from the 22-county area ineluding Blair, was in charge and factory representatives included Walter Wright, eastern sales manager; A.

R. Shedd and James A. Cain. Sales Manager Wright brought greetings from the heads of the Graham company including Robert Graham who sent his re. grets at being unable to be sent.

Among others who spoke were Paul Herpolsheimer, of Modern Motors company, Altoona; Stephen Caloski, Joseph Kunkle. P. W. Smith. Douglas Craig, Francis Robacker, J.

J. Clemence, and William Gillam. Entertainment WAS furnished during the dinner by Borrah Minevitch's Original Harmonica Rascals, who appearing at the Strand u. theatre here. The theatre manager presented the group, gave a brief history of their suecess, introduced each one and invited the listeners to see them in 8 full program at the theatre.

In brief addresses the highlights of the new Graham automobile were explained to the dealers. Mr. Herpolshimer complimented the dealers for their abili- ties, displayed in recent years and had high praise for the type of dealer selling Graham cars. Mr. Kunkle expressed his enthusiasm about the new car and he said that although the lines are more modern, the new model has "nothing experimental under the hood." Mr.

Craig who attended the recent automobile show in New York declared, "the Graham car stole the show in New York." He also complimented the dealers and did not mince words in praising the new model, He is a representative of the C. I. T. The chief speakers was the eastern sales manager, Mr. Wright, who brought greetings from the Graham company heads.

He classed the Graham as the "rich man's luxury for low -priced pocketbook." He praised the loyalty of the dealers and told of benefits to be passed on to them including a $1.500,000 advertising campaign to be handled by the J. Walter Thompson company of Chicago. "The Graham has what the otherg will have in the future," he asserted, telling the dealers of how the new 1938 model attracted leading engineers from other companies when it was placed on display at the National show. Prior to the dinner meeting in the Logan room at the hotel at which Modern Motors WAS host, the entire group went to the automobile show at the Jaffa mosque where the new Graham is on display. Following the dinner went back to show and others adjourned to the Modern Motors show rooms where they gave close scrutiny to the new cars on display there.

THE hunter eased his gun down, watching that turkey so intensely his eyes must have burned. Some time later he breathed. Five minutes of nine! HE began to get ready. It would take him five minutes to get his gun up without soaring the turkey. Then began the slow, laborious process of lifting the gun, breathing between lifts.

He glanced at his wrist watch. Couple minutes to go, His gun was nearing his shoulder, and the turkey was pecking away unconcernedly. AND then it happened. Some fool came tearing through the woods, yelling like an idiot at 8 couple of hounds. The hunter stood paralyzed with horror.

They couldn't do this to him! Why it was only three minutes of nine! And while he stared in sickening dismay, the turkey lifted its head, took one look, and then took off. AND what made things worse. the hunter was so mad he went home and toid about it. STANDING ARMY CONSTANTLY, and especially in recent months, there have been increasing demands from various quarters for larger standing army for the United States. Opposition has come, besides from the pacifists, from some economists who point out that is not necessary considering America's continental position.

We are not, they point out, in the precarious position of Europe, where every country may be reached from any part of the continent almost overnight. BUT a new angle was presented some time ago when a visting Japanese army officer remarked that America probably could summon 8 volunteer army of fairly efficient gunners within a few weeks. HE pointed to the Americans' natural love of hunting and their familiarity with guns 88 evidence that it wouldn't take long to send a capable army into action. The prevalence of veterans' and patriotic organizations and their rifle and pistol teams was mentioned also by the visitor, and he spoke, too, of the national guard and the interest displayed in it. HUNTING is not a popular pastime among the Japanese.

In fact, they have none of it, FRIDAY SATURDAY Sitnek's Drug Stores Will Give $1.00 Worth of Medicine To Each Family In Response To This Ad.
