Tobin yields to none In his reverence for The Memory, and few of his brethren would deny that he is qualified to go' forth and bumble the master's word.

PHILLIPS A Letter of Sympathy Dear Joe DiMaggio: Well, a few days ago I saw in the papers that the Yanks have decided to pay you $65,000 to $70,000 this year, and it is too bad that a thing like that has to happen to a nice guy like you. For the last couple of years you bad a tough time with chipped elbows and heels, and just when you got a right to hope you are out of pain and worry they ram you up into them upper income tax brackets. brack-ets. From now on you will know' what real suffering is like, Joe, and if I were you I would not let them Yanks do this to me. I would see a lawyer and make an appeal. For years you were one of the most underpaid boys in baseball bul it was nice and cozy down there. Now you go up where the state and government really start running the vacuum over you and you will find that none of them Johns Hopkins or Mayo clinic fellers can do a thing about it, no matter how good they may be with heels and elbows. WALTER SHE AD Congress Evades Own Law pONGRESS acts something like a policeman. It's OK for a cop to stop in traffic, park in front of a fireplug or run through a red light-but not for a mere civilian. It's OK for congress to pass laws and the folks are supposed sup-posed to obey them but congress can disregard the law, as witness the legislative reorganization act which congress passed to eliminate obsolete methods and to streamline its working for benefit of everybody includine congress itself. '' The reorganization act has been in effect more than a year and a survey shows that only about a third of its provisions are being observed. Even those provisions which are being observed are being made ineffective by use of makeshift or evasive maneuvers! :ommitter Lorn' 4 t 7in Souse T did r. but immediately ffll! mlgConagr:sessZp0seUdnt:etteuPraCC,e f naming sPe'a. commHtee" W, Feb-y 15.

WRIGHT PATTERSON Science Aids Those Over 40 CINCE Revolutionary war days J science has lowered the dr cth rate of infants and people under 40 But science has not accomplished as much for those who have passed the 40th milestone. At the time of the Revolutionary war those who had reached the age of 40 still had as an average, 26 more years to "ve. One hundred years ago that average had been increased to 28 years An analysis of old and new mortality tables, made h.v North- W"t"n Nuti0naI Life Insurance company, shows that those of 40 now can expect to live another 30 years. Science is promising new and far "reater wonders in that line |
