Birsky the real estater as he laid dOwI

"What was the old plan?" Barne
Zapp the waist manufacturer asked
We'll" Birsky replied, Il suppose

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
1t flying in an airy-Oplane but to DIS
courage 'em."
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 | wanted young Teller he
should be an airy-Onaut, understand,
l would find out where the young fell
Ter is working and get him fired.
would then fix things so that the girl
he is going TO marry wouldn't got
nothing 10 do with him no more.
HafterwardS l 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,
understand, L would lay for him at
the drug store and just when he is
going to buy the poison ne is figuring
on taking, l would say to him: Lis
ten,-since the war has stopped Ger
many shipping drugs to America, you
couldn't rely on pOisons no more.
Save your money and try something
certain. Learn to fly"
"Aber not considering the funny
side of this thing, Zapp, why is it we
amt got more as one airy-oplane flyer
to Europe's twenty?" Birsky asked.
It's a 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

for living Is considered like eating
with his knife or wearing tan shoes |
with full dress suit. So what is a |
Teller like that to do? Cards he soon

use your head to play cards, and in |
Europe up to the present war using |
