Dunne's commis sion making him a warless, smoke- ' less, bloodless "ossifer" by gosh! en titled him to wear. Rumor has it that there's a hole in the maje's best Sunday soldiering pants, the result of riding rough spots in Russia when they discovered over there that he wasn't the real goods as an army officer for all the braids and the big sword he wore. But Bob's chest was all stuck out, and his arms were hitched back at the elbows and his chin stuck up to C, like a regular ossif er's, and, all in all, Bob didn't make a half bad impression on the committee, and It listened to him tell that this country must have an army of 10,000,000 and guns accordingly, or else Japan or some other nation would come in and annexthe whole blame United States to them and get away with it. And a fast stenographer carefully took down all the momentous that they might grace the first page of Maje McCormick's Chicago Tribune this morning. o o BOTH LOEBS ARE FOR IT r Jake Loeb and Max Loeb axe fop the proposed $100,000 for communi ty centers in schools budget It's more than double the amount spent for this purpose in any previous year.
