THE REAL NEWS NEWSREEL
Teacher — This is getting just too
much. Steven Gates, if Kate has two
plums and Nellie has four plums
how many plums have they to-»
gether?
Steven—Could I ask one question
first?
Teacher—Certainly.
Steven—What is the jackpot now?
Teacher—For that you stay after
school. Johnny Smith, you were
■ very poor in your reading test. Let
me see what you can do, begin-
ning on page 6.
Johnny—The white cat saw the
gray mouse under the tall chair.
Teacher—That’s fine.
Johnny—Now can I go for the
jackpot?
Teacher — Such children! Minnie
Potter, how do you spell “apple?”
Minnie—You mean backwards?
Teacher—Why backwards?
Minnie—That’s the way they spell
everything today.
Teacher — Just spell “apple” for-
wards.
Minnie (peevishly) — My daddy
says that if I spell “apple” forwards
I won’t get anywhere with them. He
says that to get anything across
and make big sales you got to spell
it backwards.
Teacher — Who’s running
school, your father or I?
A child — Would you mind re-
peating the question?
Teacher—Now, Willie, how much
Is two times one?
Willie—Go ahead!
Teacher—What do you mean
ahead9"
Willie (anxiously)
and tell me how much I get if I
coine up with the right answer!

Teacher (pretty frantic) — I’m
beside myself. I’m dazed and exas-
perated. I don't know what to do
with you children.
A Little Girl (who has been on
one of those juvenile advice hours)
—Well, I think your problem
could be solved by relaxing. You
need more rest If J were you I
would. , . .
YoucMdr^^^^wful.
There is only orfe little'* boy In the
class who is really intelligent and
whose standing is high in all sub-
jects. I am going to call on Jasper
Loobey to show you how to answer
questions. Jasper Loobey, please
stand up!
A Little Boy—Jasper Loobey isn’t
here today. His mother asked me
to tell you she had to keep him out
as he had to be on a Q^iiz Kid hour
this afternoon.
(Teacher leaps- through the win-
dow screaming, “Wonderful! Per-
fect! That wins you 10 silver dol-
lars.”)
This depresses us deeply. If we
can’t have unity, peace, understand-
ing and brotherly love on the highT
est court in our land, how can we .
have it on lower levels? There is 1
something scary in the thought ot I
the United States Supreme court be- j
ing no different from the lawyers ,
and their clients. I
It’s easy to keep your dresser
from becoming stained and spot-
ted from perfume and toilet wa-
ter bottles. Place a piece of wax
paper under your dresser scarfs
for sure protection.
Wash rag rugs in rich suds and
warm water. Rinse carefully, and
dip into a light starch solution.
Press out the water by hand or
put them through a loose wringer.
To dry, lay the rugs flat on a
paper. The starch will give them
more body and cause them to lie
flat.
According to reports. Justice
Robert Jackson and Justice Hugo
Black ignore each other and do not
even speak as the new Supreme
court session gets under way.
“Neither looked at the other at any
time. They sat several sorts apart,
and at no time did they speak,"
says a news item.
/Vow that the old fForld Fair grounds
on Long Island, N. Y., have been ac-
cepted by the United Nations, will
Trygve Lie do a fan dance? . . . And
who gets the cane-ringing concession?
. . . Our Nuernberg scouts report that
Goering concealed that poison in his
upper tier of chins. . . . jimmy Byrnes
on the radio sounds like a college pro-
fessor trying to impress the detin. . . .
Lady IF inderm ere may have hud fans,
but we are not one of 'em.

• Rub in gently-warming Ben-Gay for soothing re-
lief from simple headache! Een-Gay contains up to
2 Vi times more of two famous pain-reheving agents
known to every doctor—methyl salicylate and men-

genuine Ben-Gay, the original Baume Analgesique.
It brings quick relief!

“Fifty-one Nations at Waldorf”—
Headline.
_______By Jeff Hayes
The more we study these photo-
graphs of disorders in Hollywood,
the more wc expect to hear of a
scene of violence being called oft
because the photographer was not
ready. And of a case where the
cops who slugged it out with the
strikers agreed to do it all over
for a “retake.”
