Rhubarb Expected At PGA Confab In Chicago Today

CHICAGO, Nov. 17). (UP)—The annual meeting of the Professional Golfers Association opened today, but most of the activity consisted of back-of-the-scenes maneuvering in the drive to replace President Ed Dudley with veteran Horton Smith at tomorrow's election of officers. Dudley said last night that he knew of no move to replace him, but it was believed that a well organized campaign had been organized to get rid of Dudley for "factionalism." Several members of the association reported they had received postal cards recommending Smith for the office instead of Dudley, who was elected in 1942 to replace Ed Walsh. All sessions were closed to the public and it was expected the members would engage in several stiff battles behind closed doors on many issues connected with operation of the organization.

TAKING NO CHANCES

Pancho and an Irishman named Pat were caught rustling cattle over the border, and after a summary trial were sentenced to be hanged. When the boys strung up Pancho, the rope slipped and he fell into the river below, rapidly swimming around a curve and making his escape. Chagrined, the posse turned to string up Pat, who cautioned them: ""Bboys, be sure yez tie a better knot this time. It's meself that can't swim a stroke."

STARTING YOUNG

Five-year-old Sue was "helping" hed daddy at his work bench in the basement. Finally he tired of her incessant chatter and questions, and he asked her to be quiet for a little while. "I don't have to be quiet," Sue stated importantly. "I'm a woman."

UP HIS SLEEVE

A group of sailors on a freighter were frequently entertained by one of their number, a sleight-of-hand performer of no mean ability, during the long evenings at sea. His act, in which cards, money and handkerchiefs were made to disappear, was enjoyed by all aboard —except one—a parrot which greeted each performance with a raucous, ""Ha, ha, ha! Phooey!" The ninth night out, in the midst of the show, a terrific storm arose and the boat sank. The prestigitator was thrown into the the ocean and managed to grasp some wreckage to support his weight. The following morning he was startled to see his critic, the parrot, sitting on an upright on his improvised raft. Not a word passed between the castaways for two days. Suddenly, however the parrot looked down, cocked his head to one side, and with a gleam in his eye demanded: "Alright, what'd you do with the ship?" | Diner—I wish I had come to this restaurant last year when I was in town. Proprietor—It's very kind of you to say that, sir. Diner—Yes, this fish would have been about right then.

LIKE GREEN AUULES

Little Betty Jane (in the country for the first time)—Oh, mamma, look at the cute little green snake. Mother (in the country for the first time)—Put it down at once. It might be as dangerous as a ripe one.

FATAL IGNORANCE

Mike Clancy had been working on New York harbor tugboats for 50 years when he fell overboard and was drowned. This brought about a very fine wake, at which the highest praise was given the deceased and all the traditional ceremonies were observed. During the proceedings, a friend of the widow asked her: "Did Mike leave you well fixed?" "Shure, an' he did that. 'Tis fifty-thousand he's after leavin' me." The friend rolled her eyes heavenward. "Tch tch tch," she said. "Think of that. And him that couldn't read nor write." "Yes," agreed the widow, shaking her head seriously, "nor swim."
