Y know fellers, girls are funny
creatures. Dye want to know how
to get your girls goat? Especially
when she raves about some boob
movie actor, his handsome face,
wonderful hair, GreCian nose, soul
full Orbs, firm chin and all that junk?
Here's how we did it.
The other night we took our girl
to a movie. Oh, we're a regular guy.
And one of these simp handsome
VOLTS was the hero of the movie.
How she raved about him! And
when we'd say he was a hick she'd go
into all the more spasms just to nab
our nanny and say, Why, I believe
you're jealous" Y'know, mates,
how they do it.
Well, after the show, to prove we
wasn't a piker, we took in a soda grill.
Across the aisle sat a fella and his.
violet. We got bunch.
We said, There's what l call an
attractive girl, knows how to dress,
right up to the second in style and
good looking"
WOW! Did it get her? She near
ly strangled trying to unlOosen her
self from the soda straw. owl The
way my girl lit into that DANES
style, beauty and attractiYeness was
a scream.
Her hat was "atrocious," she
made up" she had no sense of
style, she was very, very, ordinary
looking" and she couldn't see where
I could "see the slightest traces of
attractiveness in her"
Heb! Heb! It's dangerous, feuas,
but it's a good comeback for the

GOTHAM GETS WATER
 12O MILES AWAY

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-New York City received its first supply of water from the Catskill mountains yesterday when mayor Mitchell accepted a foun- tain in the northern reservoir of Gen. tral park and turned on the flow that will give New Workers three hundred million more gallons daily. The foun- tain has five jets and the pressure from the Catskill aqueduct throws a stream 115 feet in the air.
 The turning on of the water was witnessed by large throng assembled in Central park, including hundreds of school children. The water comes from the Ashoken reservoir, 120 miles away. The completion of the great ac- queduct has been accomplished more than a year ahead of the estimated time, and at seven million less than the figured cost. The board of water supply had to acquire title for the city to 2,133 acres at an aggregate cost of $17,3O7,614. The cost of completing the vast undertaking was $18470764O

More than 100000 concerns. including meat packers, cold storage men, millers, canners, grain dealers and manufacturers and distributors throughout the country come directly under control of Hoov- CT. and these are compelled to sell their products at the prices fixed by the controller, or their licenses will be revoked and they will be unable to purchase raw material and supplies or to do business. The rules and regu- lations promulgated for the distribu- tiOn of food products are very rigid, and are expected to materially de- crease the prices on many necessities of, life.

BERLIN, Nov. 2.--The war office this afternoon made the announce ment that the Austro-German troops had penetrated the rear guard posi- tion of the Italians eastward of the lower Tagliamento river. in the vic inity of venzope. in Northern Italy. where they cut off and captured di- vision of 60,O00 of the Italian troops and fifteen hundred guns, as well as vast stores of munitions of war. In this city the scene of the widest ex- citement prevails as the news is given out of the continued victories of the Teutons armies on the Italian front. Flags and bunting are generally dis played throughout the city, and cheer after cheer is given as the news from the front is posted at various points throughout the city. The Overwhelnl- ing defeat of the Italians has mater ially strengthened the belief among the people that Germany will emerge victorious from the war, and the militarist branch of the government is once more in the ascendancy.
