Show This Week by Arthur Brisbane Would Canada Join Us? She Ate in tjie White House Pity This Husband A Prayer to Thieves The honorable Gus Kasch, rep. representing Summit county in O-hio's O-hio's House of Representatives, suggested sug-gested that England pay her debt cO Uncle Sam by giving us Canada This column suggested that Canada would sav: "NO." Mr. Kasch writes that Canadians might decide that "a great union of the English-speaking people on the North American continent would be worth more to them, with trade barriers removed, than tc be tied up with God and the king and they might eventually decide to come in with us. They can teach us considerable about how to operate a State-owned railroad and a decent banking system; we really need them more than they need us." Canada could teach us, no doubt, for no depositor has lost a dollar in a Canadian bank for many years, while we have had bank failures in thousands. The question ques-tion is, do we want to learn? Mrs. Pattie Willis South, 81 years oid, of Nicholasville, Kentucky, ul-. ways wanted to eat one meal in the White House "to compare the President's cooking with my own." Mrs. South, called "Ma" South, ran a hotel for many years. Mrs. Roosevelt invited her. "Ma" South wishes she could have taken the White House bill of fare for a souvenir, and told reporters that having been invited to the White House "now my aim is to get into Heaven." In Heaven she will meet many that have never eaten in the White House and will bnvp inter esting things to tell them, through all eternity. A remarkable lady is Mrs. Franklin Frank-lin D. Roosevelt, remarkable for energy, kindness and good judgment. judg-ment. Planning a trip to California to visit her son, she was advised to fly by day and rest at night. She decided to fly day and night to save time. In this saving of time, and in her constant travel by airplane, Mrs. Roosevelt sets an example of greatest value to the nation's air industry. Violently interesting is the queer, deep sea fish-husband that spends its life clinging to its huge mate. If it lets go, the practical wife eats it, and lives a . widow until another husband attaches itself to her. This deep-sea fish, called pho-tccorynus pho-tccorynus spiniceps, is more pathetic pa-thetic than the husband of the deep sea parasite crab, fifty times sm.il.'cr than its wife, living under one of her flippers. The wife of spiniceps, possessing a phosphorescent glow, attracts many would-be husbands, and devours de-vours nine out of ten, as they approach. ap-proach. When one slips by the wife's wide mouth, it fastens, with its sharp teeth, on to some part of the body, lives on her blood, which she does not miss, and they begin housekeeping. New York Natural History Museum Mu-seum will soon show one of these strange couples, from the Atlantic and Carribbean deep waters, the husband hanging on, just above the wife's eye. . Mother nature, determined . to perpetuate every species, manages it somehow. The female spider, many times bigger than her mate, devours him, when he approaches with the best of intentions, unless lie is very cautious. Nimble, jumping backward anu forward, as Fabre tells you he studies the fat creature that a waits him. Woe unto turn, if he ccmes too close, when her mind is on luncheon, not on matrimony.

Women must stay in the home, to attend to things there. They must net earn a living for themselves, as they have been doing, often competing with men. |
