Sour Notes Wonder what a totaliterror thinks about when being bombed? Weren't colyumists bad enough when they invaded private lives in the name of pre-news, without their becoming self-appointed, one-man F.B.I.'s? Latest triumph of Nazi organizing genius: Joy Thru Scuttling. Shabby prop of the American scene: panhandler who exists, apparently, on an exclusive diet of '...cwfee?' Burpp: 'Smatter, eye-trouble?' Fnumm: Yes. My girlfrien's a demon fiction-writer an' she even wears short shorts! If he's an editor, Man Bites Doggerel is not news. Howcome nobody rents out desert isles--to the amorous, the loafy, the literary, the naturists, and assorted saps ambitious to make the lunatic fringe? Like all older female cats, Catalina, world's smartest and most beautiful apartment-cat, became extremely fussy, bossy, demanded lots of attention, companionship, affection, perfect accommodations. 'I wonder,' whimsied her "mother', 'if she thinks we're cats.' 'That smart cat?' rebutted her 'father,' 'certainly not, she thinks we're the-- her-- janitors.' The Telegram gained considerable publicity as the newspaper which refused Rudyard Kipling a job when that writer, then a young man on the Pacific coast, sought employment.--Portland Oregonian. The (News-) Telegram died; Kipling's work didn't. You're getting old when you object to everything, even the fact that you object to everything. Other Man, Other Manner For a really fast evening they recommend Kate. But am I so old that I no longer rate? With me she is decorous, dull, and sedate. There may yet be a future, appeasement being definitely dead. Oriental Alibi No. 1: The Japanese Emperor. LITTLE WIT July 1940 3
