'And naturally the young Teller
wasn't encouraged" Barnet Zapp sug-
gested.
Naturally" Birsky said. $50 now
the president of the Airy-o Club says:
Looky here, why don't you learn it
flying in an airy-oplane and after you
graduate / would get you and two
thousand of your classmates to fly
from here to San Francisco, and who
arrives first gets $20,OOO?"
"Aber supposing the Teller don't ar
rive first?" zapp inquired.
'"Then that's his funeral Birsky
said.
''Well then where does the encour-
agement come in?" Zapp commented.
Furthermore, Birsky, this here pres
ident of the Airy-o Club of America
has got it wrong. The thing to do is
not to encourage young fellers to learn
it flying in an airy-oplane but to DIS
courage 'e1n."
"Well, what he said in the first
place didn't sound so encouraging to
me-" Birsky said.
"What he said was all right" Zapp
admitted, ''but he didn't lay no pipes
for it. For instance, if would be the
president of the Airy-o Club of Amer
lea and I wanted a young Teller ne
should be an airy-onaut, y'understand,
/ would find out where the young fell

nothing to do with him no more.
H'afterwards would use all this as
evidence why his father should throw
him out of the house, and when got
the young Teller absolutely in despair,

the drug store and just when he is
going to buy the poison ne is figuring
on taking, / would say to him: Lis

cts question from etiquette"
Zapp replied. "Over in Europe if a
young Teller has got a father with a
rating anywheres about D to f credit
fair, for such a young Teller to work
for a living is considered like eating
with his knife or wearing tan shoes
with a full dress suit. So what is a
Teller like that to do? Cards he soon
gets tired of, because you've got to
use your head to play cards, and in
Europe up to the present war using
your head wasn't considered becoming
neither. Gollef and tennis is all right
once in a while, Birsky, but if a Teller
is hitting ball nit club day in day
out, understand, he might just so
well be hitting nail nit hammer
and become a carpenter. The conse-
quences was that until airy-oplanes
was Invented, all such young Teller
could do to get any excitement out of
life was to climb mountains nit snow
on 'em or go to Africa and kill once in
a while menagerie animal like lion
or tiger. However, Birsky, after
airy-oplanes was invented, flying be-
came more fashionable than mountain
climbing and killing menagerie ami
mails, as it was found out to be just
as dangerous, but with less travelling
expenses and more convenient to a
hospital. So therefore, Zapp, for
every son of millionaire in this cOun-
try which is working hard to carry on
the old mans business and give en-
plcyment to thousands of operators, y
understand, they got over in Europe
son of a millionaire who is learning
to fly in an airy-oplane and has work
ing for him steady two mechanics, a
surgeon and trained nurse
"Well, you couldn't blame such a
young Teller in especially if he is
going out a good deal into society"
Birsky said. ''The fact that a Teller
is learning to fly in an airy-oplane
and so to speak could never tell which
moment is going to be his next, Zapp,
makes him in a way very interesting
to meet, especially for ladies, Zapp,
which they could say h'afterwards:
Only yesterday he was talking to me
the same like you are now Also an
airy-oplane flyer has got tropic of
conversation more attractive to ladies,
Zapp, which don't care how good
looking young American millionaire
could be, understand, if he would
sit down and tell a lady how he was
up till three in the morning figuring
the costs on big shipment of enamel
