DEAR BOYS AND iris:

DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS:
Now you just can't guess what I'm
going to tell you about today. It's
about engines and something they just
have to have. And we can't do with
out it-and 1t has nc color-and yet
you can see in It the most beautiful
colors In h whole world.
It's water!
Have you ever seer a rainbow
most beautiful colors you've eve seen 2
Did you know that a rainbow is made
up of two things that are awful good
for boys and girls-and this is SUM
SHINE and WATER.
Flowers die without sunshine and
dry up and fade without water-and
that's exactly what would happen to
you If you didn't have wateri Why
you're half made up of water. CHO-
CHIC knows-and you have to keep on
drinking water cause you use it up
Just the way an engine uses it up.
Then there's another way you're like
an engine-and that fs-it's awful i'm
portant to keep the inside of you well
cleaned and oiled up. Course It's
good TO keep the outside clean and
water does that-but you just got to
keep the inside clean.
The best way Is to clean 1t III first
thing every single morning before you
start your engine to work and you do
that by having a bowel movement,
cause that takes away all the waste.
Then you stoke up-and that's by
eating breakfast. And remember you
can't eat too fast cause it's Just like
giving your engine gas too fast-your
engine won't run right. And when
your engine goes wrong-boy-what
a pain you have in u stomach
Ouch.

But anyway I want to give my love

too, but I must confess that from the
way you write helping little tots along

at the Darre Opera no4se tnis season
measured up to the standard Of The
Flirting Princess" patronized by a
good-sized audience last night. AS a
matter of fact, the quality of the
comedy far surpassed the expecta-
tons of nearly everyone. for it was
one of the best musical shows staged
here this season. Its cast was UNI
questionably experienced actors and
actresses, and when a group of these
artful beings have only a thin plot to
work with they are bound to make

what THE Flirting Princes" m
Harry Bulger did last evening. The
cenerv was appropriate and pretty
and the costumes were beautiful, be-
yond a doubt. And all these qualities,
together with the personality of the
players and the catchy tunes of the
