ODE TO AN ovERDRAFT.

When in school | learned addition, And learned subtraction, too; And 1 learned a lot of other stuff That's helped me out, tis true. But experience and learning Fail to mitigate the pain Of that phone call from the banker: Bill, you're overdrawn again" Long studied plane geometry In college, and l know
 Some algebra and calculus My brow is high and not low. But professors never told me Of this melancholy strain That my banker always warbles: Bill, you're overdrawn again" When the lights are burning brightly, And the cabaret is fine.
 Who am I to spoil a party? Waiter, crack a quart of wine!" Then a check I quickly scribble,
 (Surely I can stand the strain), But tomorrow brings the tidings: Bill, you're overdrawn again" When I die and face St Peter At the shining golden gate,
 He will balance all my virtues
 With my sins, and make me wait Till he hands me out my statement, Then again he'll make it plain As he sings the bankers anthem: Bill, you're overdrawn again"

DUTCH IN RIOT
FOR FOOD ARE
HIT BY POLICE

THE HAGUE, Feb. ie.--se-
rious rIotIng, In which the
crowds were only dispersed by
repeated charges by police and
hussars, hurriediy called upon
for endorsements, occurred
here last night.
Tho rioters, mostly workmen,
STAGED their demonstration as
a protest against the high cost
Of food. They occupied a space
In front Of the queens palace
and the ministerial buildings.
The food situation was regarded
as having reached an acute stage
in Holland. Small salaried workers
find It almost impossible TO obtain
coal and potatoes. Discomfort has
been growing. and authorities today
did not disgiIse their fear Of further
our breaks OF probably an even more
serious nature than that OF last
night unless the government takes
some remedial measures at once.
Primarily the shortage in food
has been due 10 the fact that ilol

belligerent nations OF Europe have
