|NARROWER PANTS BROADER
' IDEALS URGED BY ROGERS
NEW YORK, December 10—(£)—
What the youth of *his country needs
"as Will Rogers sees it, is narrower
pants and broader ideals.
The humorist dzlivered his opinion
in his only New Yeork appearance of
the season at a charity affair last
! night.
" “1 this country,” he #hid, "“We
build three golf courses to every
'airplanc. The government isn’t sure
’ about aviation, so its going to wait
two more wars to find out whether
!uirships are practical. We are the
;only nation in the world that uses
| our our air for speaking purposes?
only. The next war’s going to be in
the air. They’re not goiny to shoot}
iunything‘ at you, they're just going‘
to drop in on you.” l
Taking up farm relief, Mr. Rogers
observed that “Now they are saying
that what the farmers need is coop
erative marketing. If they can’t get
'as much for their crops as it costs
{ to raise them, the farmers ought to
sell together. When the check comes
back then they’ll be able to cheer
each other up.”
Mr. Rogers deciared himself in fa
vor of &fllogo because “It takes the
children away from home just when
they get to the arguing age, and
said hé would go to college himself
if he had a coonskin coat.
