LUKE MeLukg SAYS

There was time when girl was
afraid you would see her ankle bone-
But nowadays she seems to be afraid
that you won't see her knee bone.
s**
Any man who can live up to his
wife's expectations doesn't need to
worry about the future. He'll get to
Heaven, all right.
II the average man wasn't such a
liar, the average woman wouldn't be
so vain.
We never knew a practical joker
who wasn't a poor loser when some
other fellow turned the joke ON him.
It takes a few nights in a sleeI ing
car to make man appreciate the
comforts of his small flat.
A girl turns deaf ear to the fel7
low who is whispering love when a
l6ulCW VINO uldhtS AeioS fahc ACeA'
money comes around.
You may have noticed that the fell
low who brags about how square he
is hasn't any corners sticking out Of
him.
Some people are like dogs. The
more they are abused, the better they
seem to like 1t.
Things have changed since the old
days. If the children were not whip
ped until father whipped them they
would never get WHIPPING.
Another reason why we have so
many divorces is because a girl i'm
agines that she knows all about man1
aging a husband when she doesn't
know a thing about mana ging a
kitchen.

organization. expressed the same at
titude in an impromptu speech last

Hotel. The fact that the Chicago men
came TO Richmond this time unan-
nounccd kept local public men from

aman. of the State Democratic Com
mittcc. ran across them unexpected IS
last night at the hotel, and invited
President Devinc TO make a speech. i'm
