Another reminder that am where the
color line isn't drawn taut was in an eX-

entitled "Joyriders From MOtOrland,
and guessed that it had been taken from
a foreign source. 1t presented an East
Indian rajah's scheme to improve his
race by breeding in and out with eau

one for my boy? You can? His name
is Christopher H. Todd There's more
letters in that; would it be the same

Tom wrote the name on slip Of pa
per, counted the letters, and, after some
hesitation, informed the druggist that
the extreme length of the given title of
the junior Todd would make the price
of the coat hanger 80 cents. This was
satisfactory. and after rather clumisiy
