An American reporter interviewed an Eton schoolmaster and asked, "Do you allow your boys to smoke? I'm afraid not," the schoolmaster replied. The reporter then asked, "can they drink?" The schoolmaster quickly replied, "good gracious, no." Next, the reporter asked, "what about dates?" And, the schoolmaster said, "Oh, that's quite all right as long as they don't eat too many."
Carrots must be good for the eyes. You never see a rabbit wearing glasses.
INTERESTING MELANGE.
A Chronological Record of Events as they have Transpired in the City and County since our last Issue.
The drill hole at the fair grounds has penetrated a strong vein of pure, clear water, and the liquid now stands within a foot of the top of the ground. Yesterday an inch siphon was used to siphon the water out of the hole, but after running a half hour the level of the water was the same. The water is pure, clear and cold and the fair grounds owners now have an excellent well if they never strike mineral.
A team hitched to a farm wagon ran away down North Grant street today. At the intersection of Central avenue the wagon collided with a telegraph pole and the horses were released from the wagon, which doubtless saved a serious accident. Two men, two women and a little child occupied the wagon. One of the young women was just recovering from an attack of nervous prostration.
The proposed Council Bill to reopen the Myers Park Memorial Airport will apparently not be on the agenda for next week's regular Council meeting.
The bill is assigned to the Budget Committee and no meeting has been posted for this week. Usual procedure is for all pending Council bills to be turned in to the City Attorney by Thursday preceding the Council meeting for preparation.
The solid votes for the reopening appears to remain at five. Two votes solid against the idea according to some proponents observation. The three remaining votes are being optimistically encouraged to land on this side or that.
Typically a six vote majority would be sufficient, but the possibility of a Mayoral veto would raise the number necessary to 7, a two-thirds majority.
Mayor Riley has shown little enthusiasm for the plan to temporarily reopen the closed air field.
Indications are that the votes may come only with qualifications such as being able to close the field with short notice.
Mornin',
As the dogfight over Myers Park airport returns to the Council pit, there almost seems to be the haze of cigar smoke settling on the event.
The clash between the wills and the will-nots has moved beyond the polite motions of courtrooms and dug into the emotional swells of the belly.
The tone is no longer just the angry raised voices and derogatory remarks, it seems to have reached the level of a soft murmur rumblin' through the foxholes of soldiers entrenched.
The artillery has fired and the landscape cleared for the close combat sure to follow. Bayonets are fixed and the smell of victory is present but elusive.
The importance of each surge is measured in calculated rhythms and the perception of a flinch.
There is no longer room for political pleasantries.
"For us or agin' us!" is the only two positions left for those caught in the fray. All others can but witness the spectacle.
This is some fact, but mostly, Just Jake Talkin'.

High Heels Use and Abuse
The wearing of high-heeled shoes is a prime example of women inviting foot problems. Doctors of podiatric medicine see no value in high heels (generally defined as pumps with heels of more than two inches). They believe them to be biomechanically and orthopedically unsound, citing medical, postural, and safety faults of such heels. They know, for example, that high heels may contribute to knee and back problems, disabling injuries in falls, shortened calf muscles, and an awkward, unnatural gait. In time, high heels may cause enough changes in the feet to impair their proper function.
Most women admit high heels may make their feet hurt, but they tolerate the discomfort in order to look taller, stylish, and more professional. In a Gallup Poll, 37 percent of the women surveyed said they would continue to wear high heels, even though they did not think them comfortable.
