"And naturally the young Teller
wasn't encouraged" Barnet Zapp sug-

Naturally" Birsky said. $50 now

'Looky here, why don't you learn it
flying in an airy-oplane and after you
graduate 1 would get you and two
thousand of your classmates to fly,
from here to San Francisco, and who
arrives first gets $2O,OOO?"
"Aber supposing the Teller don't ar

"Then that's his funeral" Birsky
said.
''Well then where does the encour-
Furthermore, Birsky, this here pres

not to encourage young fellers to learn
it flying in an airy-oplane but to DIS

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

"Aber not considering the funny
side Of this thing Zapp, why Is it we

'It's question from etiquette
Zapp replied. "Oyer in Europe if

fair, for such young teller to work
for Il living is considered like eating
with his knife or wearing tan shoes
with a full dress suit. So what is
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 a ball nit a club day in day
