They ARE A crime
Anyhow That's just What New

Whenever you yield to that 90
Respondent feeling. you're committing
crime. That's what was decided by
the New Thought Circle when they

at 800 F street last night.
No matter II you receive a billet
doux from Congress inviting you to
explain why. and II not. why not,
you Just mustn't let yourself sit down.
or rather lay down, and give up. It's
crime. You are upsetting the har-
rnony of the universe.
II you see matrimony fast creeping
upon you, with the wedding invita-
tions sent out and the bridesmaids
selected, don't get discouraged. YOU
might as we'll brace up. II your best
man is on the job he'll probably sell
his life dearly before he lets you
escape. And a large non-proh!bitioa
drink will give you an entirely new
angle on life.
Remember that blues are Just a
manifestati ton OF a temporary lack OF
coordination with this glorious cTea-
ton. That's all they are.

CONTROL RAILROADS

Before Gaelic Society.

The part which the Irish Canadians
have played in the formation of the
