PRAISE FOR SOCIAL WORKER
COvite Trader Willing to Admit Young
Woman Who Had Helped Him
"Ain't Doin' No Harm"

The mountaineers of Virginia and
Tennessee are notoriously chary of
praise. Miss Babbitt, the social work
er who came down from the north,
established a mission among the
''covites," and labored with them,
found the people hard to get along
with and said so. But there was an
other side to it. A covite trader came
into the little college town near by
one day and was questioned by one
of the professors.
John asked the professor, how
long has Miss Babbitt been out in
Lost COve?'
Nigh onto four years." answered
John.
'The people like her, don't they?"
Some"
But she's mighty good woman,
John urged the professor. She's
out there working to help you and
your children. I've heard a lot about
the good she's done"
"Wa-all," said John reluctantly, 81
will say she amt doin no harm. -

ABOUT THE LIMIT IN PUNS
English Actor Credited With One
That Can Only Be Termed
Atrocious.

Cecil Clay, the long, lean, compan-

band of joyous Rosina Vokes. used to
accompany that gurgling comedienne
on her American tours. On the busi-
ness staff was Frank Dietz, brother OF
Linda of renown in the days of Angus
tin Daly's primacy. and between him
and Clay was constant rivalry as
punsters
After an unusually prolonged ses-
sion at Churchill S. Around the Corner
one night after the performance, Dietz
resolved on a supreme effort
"Gad!" he exclaimed, with a dan
gerous CLEAN. "last night came doocid
neah being me last in good earnest" :"
What" was the involuntary ex-
clamation of the perturbed Clay
Why, Frank, old chap, didn't know
a thing about it. Were you really so
i'll as all that?"
Yes, indeed" the mischevous 9TH
