Has the Ledger taken into account
the cost of making moving pictures? !?
Careful consideration of that item
might lead to the discovery that even
the costly legislative junkets to
institutions for the purpose
of ascertaining their condition and
needs might pe IN lne emu less ex-
pensive than the sending of a moving
picture company about the State to
make thousands of feet of films that
might or might not be of value IN de-
the amounts the Legislature
ought to set aside for the charities in
question. The scheme sounds a good
deal like an illustration of the old say

WHEN wIFE's AWAY
By Wing Dinger
4 GOOD RUN
NER LID

I've heard these chaps who yell hooray,
When wife to country goes away
To spend a few weeks. maybe more,
But they don't fool me with their
roar.
I know darned we'll they do not feel
AS they'd impress me with their
spiel,
And 1 have noticed every crack
They're always glad when wife comes
back.
So I'm not making any bones.
Nor singing songs in sweetest tones
Ger wifey's absence from the home
BY jove, all can do is roam
About the town and grab a bite
Off counters morning. noon and
night,
And each night sneak into the house
AS cold as ice. still as a mouse.
