STEVENSON Courtesy: Ezra Stone was asked to be a judge at the recent drama festival in Greenwich, Conn. Arriving the night before the big event, he was driving around seeing the sights when he became aware that a police car was following him. Surprised that the cop made no effort to draw alongside, Ezra kept on driving his car and trailer around town, dawdling near estates to admire the gardens and finally pulling into the parking lot adjoining his hotel. The officer drove right in >after him and asked what he was doing there and if he thought he was being funny. Ezra's reply was, "No, I just thought you wanted to be friends and were bashful." "I dunno whether you know it but you've been driving all over town with no rear lights," replied the cop, "and if I hadn't recognized you, you'd be appearing before a judge tomorrow instead of being a judge Twice T#Id Tales *» Was ef »» flihlwle of Team A#» K TWENTY YEARS , AGO yourself.* \ THIS IS AN AVERAGE FARM AM AN AVERAGE FARMER BEFORE THE NEW DEAL THE INCOME FROM THE AVER.AGE WITHOUT SUBSIDIES WAS*1483.

Carefully annotating each, she sent the question and the answer to the program. Hardly had she done so than she had to send along an addition, the invasion of Norway. Then came Belgium, Luxemburg and Holland. Now she is most earnestly hoping that her question will be used soon so that she can dismiss the whole matter from her mind. • * • Around 'n-'round: Eleanor Holm gazing absently into a Fifth avenue store window and wondering why passersby chuckle . . .

But the topper, he thinks, came in a small town where he had gone to visit a friend. The chief of police wanted to know if he would teach his traffic officers to whistle without using a policeman's whistle. "They're always losing the whistles the city buys 'em," explained the chief, "and that runs into quite an expense." • • • End Piece: A young lady of 10 was ordered to mind her younger brother, a lad of nine months. Being interested in a new book, sister decided that she must find a way of keeping brother quiet and amused. So, before settling herself in the hammock, she smeared each of baby's fingertips with molasses and gave him a nice feather. For more than an hour, not one cry for attention interrupted the bookworm. But it was different when her mother arrived. (B*U Syndicate--WNU Service.)

Day or night service. Fhoae Palatine 95 and Reverse Charges One of the great biological problems that remains unsolved even today is the question of how various new species of plants or animals originate. Possible explanations such as "genetransformation," "natural selection" and "inheritance of acquired traits" have been advanced, but none is completely acceptable. This problem is the real missing link of the theory of evolution, taking second place only to the problem of how life itself originated-- which nobody knows, cither. So everything there is to learn has not all been found out yet; there is still work to be done and discoveries to be made. (Public Ledger--WNU S«rrlc«.)
