LUKE McLUKE SAYS

No matter how brave a knocker
may be he always changes the
subject quickly when the man he
is knocking happens to come
along.
Any thin girl can tell you that
nobody but shameless huzzy
would have as large bust meas
urement as the Venus de Milo.
A married woman can't under
stand why it is that her husband
never acts anything like the sweet
faced heroes in the movie fillums.
Any husband has a right to his
opinions if they happen to be the
same opinions his wife holds.
A ten-pound baby can boss a
woman around. But she would
like to see her 210-pound husband
try it.
Another damli: Once upon a
time there WIS an automobile
clock that showed the correct time
after the car had been driven a
year.
Tie man who has to cough all
the time when he is attending

when he is attending a show.
What has become of the old
fashioned sixteen-year-old girl
who got good spanking if she
wasn't home by 9 o'clock at night.
One reason why divorce lawyers

the time they are married two

Young Roosevelt speaking in
Denver this week denounced Soc
ialism, l. w. W.ism and Bolshev-
ism. We are free to confess that
we do not know a great deal about
l. w. W.ism and Bolshevism, but
as to socialism we could never see
the harm in their propaganda that
many contend exists. There must
be some merit to what the social
lists have advocated for years as a
number of their principles have
been enacted into law, and this
has caused us to wonder if much
of the harm that is said would re-
suit from Bolshevism is not exag-
gerated. There is a radical ele-
ment in the |. w. W., but we do
not think their creed contemplates
the destruction of industrial in
stitutions, nor do we believe that
as whole they are anarchists.
