WELL, THAT IS ! PUBLIC SALES UNLIKE
A HORSE ON OS
It has been reported without
authority during the last few years
that Old Dobbin, most willing of
beasts of burden, is gradually be-
coming extinct in this country, but
the recent assestion of Wayne
Dinsmore, secretary of the Horse
Association of America, seems to
shatter any such belief.
According to Dinsmore, the
equine population in this country
'today exceeds 20,500,000, with the
prospects <?f multiplying instead of
decreasing. This, Winsmore said,
■will not force the future generation
to go to a museum to gain some
idea of what “Old Dobbin” once
looked like.
Association records show that
1,500,000 horses are in the cities
of the United States. The remain-
ing “hay-burners” are on farms
where their usefulness is greatly
appreciated—and needed.
Dinsmore declared that breeding
has been revived, with the .United
States having more and better
horses than any other nation. With
only the finest grade horses being
bred, Dinsmore said, breeding is
now on a better basis than ever.
Iowa leads the other states in that
respect.
'"A horse is not an extinct
mammal,” Dinsmore said. “They’re
here and here to stay. When the
‘hay-burners’ start to pass out of
the picture, we’ll be the first to
know it. That’s something we are
not worrying about the slightest
bit.”
THE FOOLISH QUARREL
—o—
’Twas such a silly little thing
That started them to quarreling:
She wished to go, he wished to stay,
And both had lived an anxious day,
So, ere they knew it, words were
s£id
Which set their cheeks to flaming
red.'
X'V ’ ■/ -• t
She taunted him with follies gone,
Her selfishness he dwelt upon*
The flames of anger hotter grew.
“I’m done!” cried she; cried he,
“I’m through!”
She stamped her foot upon the
floor,
And he went out and slammed the
door.
Then all the imps of foolish pride
Jumped in these lovers to divide,
With cunning whispering and smart
They piled their most malicious art
Until that hour of needless strife
Had torn asunder man and wife.
,Twas'; such a silly little thing
Which set them both to quarreling.
Now past repair the wreckage lies.
“How silly!” everybody crieA -
Yet world-wide over tales like this
Have told the end of wedding bliss.
—Edgar A. Guest.

SISTERS WILL BE WED f
TO “SIAMESE TWINS”
-0-
Manila—Lucio and Simplicio Go-
dino, 21-year-old Filipino “Siamese
Twins,” announced recently their
intention of marrying Natividad
and Victorina Malos, asters, des-
pite official opposition. After mar-
rying, they said, they would go to
the United States to enter vaude-
ville.
A l'cense clerk’s ruling that, the
twins were not single because they
were joined together was overruled
by the Phillipine Department o£
Justice, and they will receive li-
censes to marry. The clerk denied
them licenses a few days ago, say-
ing that while in one sense they
were single because unmarried, in
a large sense they were not single
because of the physical tie which
bound them. The clerk held they
were one individual with a dual
personality and that their marrying
two girls would result in that one
individual having two wives.
The twins are joined at the base
of their spines.

The Full-Size Plymouth Two-Door Sedan, #675
Another FINE FEATURE..
Plymouth has Oversize Tires
,*1 YOU will find
III Plymouth the largest
__________ tires of any car in the
/ low-priced field. Real
. oversize balloons—4.75—more
than ample for thisfull-size car.
That is why the improved
Plymouth, with so much else
to talk about, devotes an
entire advertisement to over-
size tires.
Larger tires mean riding on
more air, which in turn means
greaterbuoyance and comfort.
Then, too, larger tires
wear longer, add much
to appearance and,
most important of all,
give the car greater
traction, a firmer grip on the
road which means safety.
From tires to roof, from
radiator to gasoline tank,
Chrysler engineers have en-
dowed the improved Plymouth
with qualities and abilities
never before available in a car
of low price. Make your own
comparisons in your own way.
