LuckIess Youth Gets Licking for "0h, Pipe!'

I OS ANGELES, CAL-Police Judge
l. Rose tried for half an hour the
other morning to get three witnesses
and the defendant in a disturbing-the-
peace case to give him definition OF
the slang expression "Oh, pipe" Upon
a4possible definition hung the guilt or
innocence of Ray Perry. He had been
arrested upon the complaint Of Mr..
and Mrs Joe Daniels, No. 615 Ceres
avenue, and Miss Viola Robinson was
subpoenaed as witness.
What did Perry say to you that
caused the fight, later, between him
and your husband?" asked the court
Of Mrs. Daniels.
"Oh, pipe!" Indignantly replied the
witness. HE was riding by on his
wheel, and when he saw me seated
upon the porch, he called to a chum
across the street, oh, pipe pointing
In my direction"
What did he neon by that?" press
ed the court.
Il don't know, SIR" replied the wit
ness.
Neither did Miss Robinson know.
Daniels was equally ignorant of the
meaning of the expression.
Perry admitted using the slang, add
Ing that he didn't mean nuthin' :"

by it. 1t was shown that after Perry
had ridden by he was recalled by Dan
iels, who demanded an apology. There
was an argument and then fight,
during which Perry was struck in the
eye, monkey-wrench was used on his
neck, a brick was bounced off his
head, and finally his wheel was thrown
on top of him, after he had been
knocked down.
Il haven't dictionary on slang"
said the court. I'm at a loss to know
what the expression: oh, pipe means.
Inasmuch as none of the witnesses
can throw any light upon its meaning
and as none can show that the de-
PENDANT meant anything disrespectful
by it, I'm forced to acquit the young
man, especially in view of the rough
treatment he received at the hands of
Daniels"

What Two Vanity Fair Girls Saw in the Ghetto

4 PLAIN, stout woman was Cross
II ing the cobbles of a street down
town. 1t was a street broken out all
over in a business rash of second
hand clothing and noisy with foreign
tongues.
The woman herself had the saffron
glazed skin and soot-black hair of an
other land than ours. Her shabby
black gown was somber enough for
a chief mourner, except for an out
b-"st of red on her breast, and
her head was partly covered with a
rusty lace shawl.
A thousand other stout women in
shabby black with shawls over their
heads might have crossed the street
without attracting attention. This
one was the exception. And it is the
exception that counts.
Two young women of Vanity Fair,
who must have been making a short
cut for somewhere to account for such
style in so dubious a quarter, stop
ped short at sight of the woman
with the saffron skin, the rusty black
with it's red rose anu the lace
shawl.
Look at that, will you! Did you
ever see anything SO picturesque off
the stage? If l could look like that
woman I'd spend the rest Of my life
with shawl on my head"
Lets start it. Grandma's got q
lovely lace shawl. It's white. but she
