MANY FOOLED TODAY
With old Time TRICK

There was not anything startingly
original in the way of April fool jokes
today.
They were played-the same stereo-
typed ones that have existed for
decades, and. as has been the case
since time immemorial. there were
men and women and children foolish
enough to be tricked by them.
There were pennies glued to the
ground. tempting-looking packages
placed alluringly on the sidewalk to
make the unsuspecting have vision Of
sudden wealth, but which contained
nothing more precious than an or
dinary red brick, and various other
phenomena that are peculiar TO the
day. These tricks were old, all Of
them, but some persons never learn
to resist them These were in the
