Being- an economist and a humortat simultaneously today may seem .rather Incongruous to many but notto Stephen Leacoek.

Born in Swanmoor, England, in 1865, educated at the Universities of Toronto and Chi- .cago, Leacock first taught economy In Upper Canada college and then in the University of Chicago. In 1904 he became head of the department of economics at McGill university, Montreal.

What is it? How do I get in?" And letters! I'm simply bombarded by them--four yesterday and two more today! As soon as it got 'round that there was no fee, there was Just a sort of stampede to get In when we sat dowu at our Wednesday Luncheon meeting to hear a talk on Abyssinia (It's out west In Canada: the man had been there) I counted over a hundred present, and more came in after the tickets were taken up. People get into the Ignoramus Club, you see, on their brains, or at least on their minds, the kind of minds they have. We do it by question and answer, Just by questioning the people who want to get in and seeing if they have the right qualifications. For example, yesterday after the Lunch we asked an applicant what was his Idea of Mussolini; and he said that he was pretty sure It was an artificial silk made tn Italy and used for lingerie! Ho got In. That is exactly what the Club wants. Tou see it started from the idea that the world is all overworried and preoccupied about peace and war, and nations who live Qod knows where, and economics and unemployment People Just grab for their paper in the morning to see who's in the Polish corridor, and what's in the Saar Basin and whether the plebiscite among that Last will keep them Lats or turn them Into Slats. It's too much. We think the world's going crazy. Our President, McSorley, put it that way. "Going crasy!" he said, Just like that, snapping his fingers, "going craxy!" And McSorley's fine. Its' all silly about his ever having been In an asylum, because he wasn't. It wasn't an asylum at all, just a place! McSorley could have had the biggest law practice tn town, but he was too versatile for it. He still has his office, end rows and rows of books in calfskin. He sits there most of the day, working puzzles. So of course, when we started the Ignoramus Club he was Just the man for President. Well, we have got together pa the basis of complete ignorance of all this foolishness. We don't know where the Polish Corridor is and we don't care. Ask us where Manchukuo is and we Just laugh! Just break out silly and laugh! You see, we don't know where it is and if you told ua we'd forget It tomorrow and think It was somewhere else. In fact we are Just like everybody used to be-before the world went crasy. At the tast meeting somebody asked one of our lady members something about Flandin. Do we have ladles? Well, do we! What do you think we are, professors? Of course we have lady members, real peaches, and not one knows where Paraguay is, either, and they think that Chaco is chewing gum. Perhaps you saw In the papers the other day the story of how a man said to a girl at a dance, "I'd like to ask you for a dance but I must confess I'm Jnst a little stiff from Polo," and she said "Oh, that's all right, I dou' care where you were born."

' • • • that were all right if you couldn't sleep. i. As a matter of fact some of "our members seem to get into the club Just In time. They look sick and worn out when they come in, and in a week or two tliey quit worrying about the Polish 'Corridor, and they think the Belga Is the name fl>f a movie star and they're all right. , " What do we do at the meetings? Come round some time and see. We have lunch meetings and evening meetings, too"; generally have a paper or a discussion, anything, as long as the members don't know anything about it and don't care. We're having a lunch on Disarmament Wednesday. And of course in a way we're a "service" club. At least we're pledged to do something for the kiddles. We had a smoker for them, last time--you know, to raise money for the Scouts, great little fellows! But we lost out on It; the cigars cost too much. We had to borrow out of the little fellows' savings bank to get even. But we'll fix It all later. As McSorley said, "Boyhood Is sacred." We'll see they get their money back.' We can raise it from their parents. We're Just starting up a Summer Camp for Underfed Kids. Some of us are going out next Saturday to see how the food is, and If there is fishing for the kiddies. But come to any of the meetings and you'll see. The best thing we've started yet is out Legion of Humor. No, not honor, "Humor." It's a yellow ribbon the color of spilled egg; it goes on the lapel of the coat. Whenever any statesman or politician makes a special speech, the thing called a "vital pronouncement," we send It to.htm. But come round some time. • Stephen Leacock.--WNU Service. "HUM of Giaats" About the middle of southern Norway there rises from the gr?at central plateau a vast wilderness of peaks and glaciers, interspersed with hundreds of brooks and lakes, teeming with trout The stupendous national park--for that Is what It really is--Is the Jotunhelm, a name which means the Home of the Qlants. In the Norse mythology it is considered the home oftheJotuns (giants), 'trolls and other enemies of the good gods, consequently the home of everything evlL Except for a few hunters, no one had seen much of this dreaded district until a little more than 100 years ago, when two scientists of Oslo "discovered" it. F«w Glacier* Sarviva Only 00 remnants of glacier* iww survive In Glacier National park as a reminder of the time when the entire region was covered with Ice. Climate of this region was once almost tropical and infested with dinosaurs, according to the American Nature association, but as mountains appeared the weather grew cold. More snow fell than the summers could melt and It gradually packed Into flelda of Ice. It is estimated that the Ice In the valleys was once over 2,000 feet deep. But the climate warmed again and the melting ice left one of America's most beautiful parks.--Pathfinder Mag' aslne.

Army's Military Eagin«*ra The need for military engineers wm recognised In the War of the Revolution, and Oeneral Washington was au thortzed to raise, officer and equip a corps of engineers. Hie corps was mustered out of the service at the close of the war. Commencing In 1704 a corps of combined artillerists and en glneers had a brief existence, but the union was discontinued by the act of congress of March 10, 1802, which for really established the Corps of Engi neers. IMPROVEMENTS BEING MADE ON EAST RIVER ROAD (Continued from Front Page) is in direct contrast to the work of bygone days, and many of us can rementber when gravel was hauled by teams and wagon, with loading and other work done by hand. M. Kunz recalls when tkirty-five veagons ^ere used in gravelling a road several years .ago, and another incident when fifteen men with teams and wagons were employed. With the present modern machinery a great amount of time and jabot is saved. Probably in the days of only a few years ago, at least fifty men would have been employed iit a similar project, while now it is being accomplished by four men, with modern machinery, in less time. And yet, we wonder what causes the unemployment situation! ..
