Mighty Cool, Companion

Evidently the minister-editor of the
Ontario Headlight intends to make his
beacon light search out the dark places
in society and life. He recently at
tended country picnic where bowery
dance was one of the attractions. 1t
evoked the following comment from
him:
lin passing we noticed that practi-
eally none of the better class of people
INDUCED. From what we did see we
would say that it was hugging to mu-
sic-with precious little music. If a
man gets to the place where he must
squeeze something we suggest a block
OF ice. If girl must be squeezed
we would advise her to apply to the
nearest zoo and ASK for quarters with a
black bear; perhaps the bear could not
perform it with variations. 1t is no.
tieable fact that the better class of
men and women are not taken in" by
all Of Hell's giit-edgeG offers. Some
may aecredit this TO evolution" but
we would place the credit to another
source. -
As a worldly suggestion we should
say that our editorial brother must be
a confirmed Crouch of q bachelor or
have gone entirely to seed when he
compares the average robust maiden of

this may be accounted for because of
the fact hat the Ontario editor is a re-
cent arrival from The sunny, torrid
