BRIBED BY REPUBLICAN GOLD To tHe Evrtor oF Lire. Sir: Will you please advise either direct by mail or through the columns of your paper whether or not Will Rogers is now drawing or has drawn for say the last year any compensation directly or indirectly from the Republican National Com- mittee? If you do not care to reply to this com- munication will you please cancel the sub- scription standing in the name of Lou D. Carpenter, wife of the writer, subscription being carried in her name for convenience in mail delivery. It is my feeling that as a subscriber to your publication which represents itself to be politically neutral I am entitled to the information requested. H. M. Carpenter, Jr. Mosticetto, Iowa. WE’ (Evrror’s Nore: Doubtless both polit- ical parties would like to bribe Will Rogers; they'd pay him huge sums to keep his mouth shut, But so long as the public anxious to hear what Will Rogers has to say, he will keep on talking and exposing the bunk of which there 1s a liberal supply in both parties.) COMMANDER BYRD'S ICEBOXES To tHe Epttor or Lire. Sir: We believe that for once the joke ison Lire, or in other words that Lire has been deftly hoist by his own petard. In the September 6 issue of your mag- azine, on page 23, under the heading “Modern Equipment,” you quote an en- terprising, if Geatioit, salesman as sug- gesting to Commander Byrd that he equip his plane with an iceless refrigerator. At first sight nothing could seem much more absurd than iceless, or electric re- frigerators as part of the equipment for an Antarctic expedition, but as a matter of fact, while the Commander didn’t go so far as to put one in his plane, he is taking four Kelvinator electric refriger- ators to the Antarctic. Two are installed on the ice-breaker, the “City of New York,” and two on another of the ex- pedition’s vessels, the ‘Eleanor Boling.” Wituu H. Pace. PitttapenpHta, Pa.

One of a party of eighteen gentlemen who dined aboard the boat off New London last Saturday pushed back his chair and complimented his host on “the finest dinner I've ever caten."” “That was not a dinner, you poor landlubber,"* corrected the host; “that was a mess, wasn’t it, Sam?"? “'Yes- sah,” said Sam, “Ah’Il uy to do bettah nex” ."—New Yorker. ‘Feel logey after lunch eemans Pepsin Gum aids diges.
