Show BEVERLY HILLS Well all 1 know' is just what I read in the papers, or see, or hear. I have al. ways been a reader of the magazine "T inie" ever since it started. I try to read a lot of other newsy magazines, maga-zines, and the Saturday Evening Eve-ning Post I couldent live without. And all the newspapers I can get my paws on, and a country one or two, for they are the best informed reading read-ing of all. Then you want to read both political sides. Well the other day I met the Managing Editor of "Time". He was making his first visit to the Pacific or Japans Ocean. A young fellow, mighty nice, and of course mighty well informed (far as I was able to Judge).

Well you shouldent if you read the daily properly, but you naturally will let a steer calf get through the chute on you ever once in awhile. Some of these I had overlooked, some of em I hadent. Maby some of em might be new to you. I had overlooked over-looked Ed Ballard, of West Baden, Indiana, who earned his money in circuses, gave a seven million dollar hotel to the Jesuits for a college. Thats that beautiful big hotel you have all seen and stopped at. And he wasent even a Catholic. I knew a Jesuit was the highest educated of all religious orders, but I dident know he had to study 15 years to complete his college course after high school. My, imagine a four year college mans embarrassment if he had to tangle intelects with a Jesuit! Then our gang get what they call a masters degree in five years. (Or one extra.) Now what an ignorant ig-norant bird he would be stached up against one of those. Nobody has ever figured out just why we thought everything could be learned in four years. It just seemed a good even number I guess and we used it. Did you know that one of the young Duponts held the record for distance in a glider, without the aid of gasoline or powder, 155 miles from Elmira, N. Y., to right near New Fork City?

Up in Alberta, Canada there Is only six on the jury, and they tried their Premier of that province for an affair with his secretary. (These foreigner courts do have some of the . most puritan notions.) The jury convicted con-victed him, but the judge said the jury was haywire. So now they dont know which one to try, the judge or the jury. Did you know that Roosevelt had a cousin down in Chili, named Delano, that has made the first all Chili moving picture?

And another cleric set him down with, ' "We dident elect the family to be President". Presi-dent". .Did you know that a Japanese assasinated their Prime Minister 20 years ago, and the Emperor freed him the other day. And he is a hero.
