Every weekday 20,000,000 Americans rustle through the back pages of their newspapers to read a single-frame comic that looks as though it might have been drawn by a gifted, quizzical schoolboy.

Rowe is this year trying to come back, but Paul is done. Dizzy has joined Paul, to all intents and purposes. Hubbell, true, shows signs of a comeback, but Grove can twirl only once a week, and where is Eldon Auker...
Wonderful to behold, tremendous to hear is a military band-as every schoolboy knows to his marrow. Oldest and most famed of all such U. S. bands is the U. S. Marine Band. Founded in 1798, the "Marines" have played at every inauguration since Thomas Jefferson's day. Glorious in scarlet uniforms, the band plays Hail to the Chief every time the President appears at a big state shindig...
