Horsehair in Water It is not true, under any circumstances, that an inanimate horsehair can come to life, producing a living worm or snake. A hair placed in water will twist and curve like a worm, but even a superficial observation will prove that it is still a hair. 6hotguns Used in World War A comparatively large quantity of shotguns fixed for attachment of bayonets were in the hands of the American expeditionary forces during the World war, but their use was very limited.

No, Genevieve, this is not a description of open house at the zoo its just a picturesque way of saying that an audience of dissatisfied patrons in a New York night spot are hungry for that indefinable, primitive and captivating type of alleged music called swing. The cats are swing musicians, rhythm-ma- d boys who, by lickin' their chops and friskin their whiskers, indicate a desire for an impromptu gathering of their ilk to play for the fun of it, otherwise known as a jam THE MASTER OF THEM ALL Benny Goodman, the king of swing, session.
