Did He Mean It?

In Indiana a man wanting
wedding license is required to tell
if he has been married before and
if so what has become of his first
wife. A Pike-co. man filled in that
space this way:
Married before? Eyes"
Where's first wife? "Gone to
the CRATE beyond"

WAY TO REST IS TO LOAF.
A lot of people who are looking
forward with considerable glee to
coming vacations will return
more tired than they went away.
This is not a mere idle observa-
ton, but the precise deduction
from scientific data by DR.. Fred
erick S. Lee, fatigue specialist"
of Columbia University.
Leaving out the technical de-
tails about nerve exhaustion, oxy-
gen and carbohydrates, fatigue
substances and a number of other
things we never heard of, DR.. Lee
declares that you cannot rest by
working, even if the work is diff
ferent from what you are accus-
toned to.
Anything that tires the body
tires the mind, and vice versa; yet
thousands of exhausted mental
workers will seek rest in physical
exercise wholly strange to their
usual habits. They will merely go
from comfort of their homes to
the acute distress of their vaca-
tions," says DR.. Lee,
How, then, is a fellow to rest?
eBy just resting, says our expert
dviser. Simply don't work either
your muscles or your mind. Take
easy. Loaf, idle, do nothing! In
bther words, be a weary Willie.

Tell me she can make minee

Talk not of mans bullying brain
Or tl4etheughts that scorch his

Rather say he never cussed
At his itchy underwear.

Handsome figures may tell lies
Human praise should be reserved
For useful things, like swatting
