ANOTHER By ARTHUR BAER SAT IT TRUE DARWIN That old story about Darwin and Huxley playing pin -cushion with a baby keeps bobbing up like a silver ball-In a shooting gallery fountain The legend Is that the brace of scientists stuck needles into the Infant and recorded Its reactions We know the man who started his rumor And we don't know the man who can stop it The writer has stuck a pin in a iaby But it was dtxe to the kid's squirming while we were trying to nail down his one-piece sleeping uniform His reactions were splendid He kicked his old man in the face and sounded off like a walrus at bay It was a very fine audition and should have gotten him a commercial sponsor Neither Darwin nor Huxley ever barbecued an ipfant for scientific or other purposes Nobody has to wonder what a kid will do when Jabbed with a boat hook a fountain pen or a soup fork It will yell Its curly bean off and holler until It has completely depreciated real estate values miles around Darwin knew that And so did Huxley Both these men had been babies themselves and knew the mental turmoil and anguish that arise when a cross-lamped nurse misses her neat aim If they had to tabulate any reactions they could have remembered their own They have to play darts with a baby We hope this settles the matter for once and for total But It will not Ten years from now it will pop oose again and people who never heard of Darwin and Huxley will organize a posse to lynch them Then they will whisper behind sotted palms that a terrible phlng for a certain person to do to a helpless The fellow listening wont know was something that happened years plus years ago Anyway he Trill think it means a tot of brandy So he will agree And the way dog gets a veterinary report Rumor and nothing else If you are -around here about 1944 or sooner if possible though it absolutely essential do not believe everything you hear about great men Much of It Is due to professional jealousy In a great number of cases And much of It

this territory now made by train or motor car will adopt the air plane ss the means of transports tion A chamber of commerce trade tour for example which now con sumes an entire week will in later years cover the same territory- or more In a couple of days The flal terrain of this area and Its equable climate favor such excursions Hie Kansas Air Tour is valuable because ltls preparing the way for a valuable social1 and commercial custegn Not only does It put the idea of group flights in the minds of Kansans but it Is encouraging every Kansas community to prepare local facilities for the

Privilege Is that exception in the law which permits a lawyer to refuse to violate the confidence of a client Piquett will contend tha what DilUnger told him he told him as cUent and therefore Piquett

The human body has both protein and starch digesting machines and they both work together It is like taking a where there are a number of factories and saying the ones which burn coal operate the same hours as the ones which burn oil The things people want to know aboiit a diet or an article of food: Does it produce acid? Is it fattening or reducing? Digestible? Roughage? The best diet is a natural diet Let us take this week some articles of diet and examine them alone and combined In detail Answer all the above questions and many oth era Let us take a perfectly natural diet starting at breakfast aqd going through to supper I-' i of women In shorts and knotted handkerchiefs and have them march up the boulevard to the Place ven Dome in Paris when I get home but afridd all my young women and all my old women would be arrested and would be put in the mad houSe for rousing an I was sorry for the globe trotter he really was miserable at the loss of his cherished illusions Of course laughed at him and made him believe I sympathize with him at all but honestly now I wonder if this was the way the women 'of Babylon and the women of ancient Greece and the women of Ninevah and Tyre acted when the countries they lived i In started to go back to barbarian?
