posers the following three were selected as
the best and won handsome prizes:
why is the woman who snatched her
husband bald headed like the ship which
passed through the Panama canal?' Be
cause she went through the locks"
why is ship passing through the Pam
ANA canal like a string band?" Because
both escape the horn"
What is the difference between the peace
of Portsmouth and the Panama canal?'
THE congress has a dream of peace and
the canal piece of dream
There was one conundrum which failed to
get prize. but which was highly commend
cd, and was as follows: why should the
United States Senate never suffer from
thirst ?" Because it has a Beveridge.'
An entertaining program of music and
recitations was given. The selections fur
nished by Miss Lee Moore's Guitar and
Mandolin Club were especially pleasing. Mr..
NJ E. Kahn of THE Criterion Players in a
most capable and pleasing manner gave one
of his clever impersonations. A violin and
piano duet was given by Mrs. Carrie Smith
and E. c. Palmer.
