RED EARS

A LETTER in the days mail was delight The
"A writer asks
AT huskins bee what are the rules for
the red carr
IF young finds red ear does he
hss any girl or must II be his own girl his
partner7 II the girl finds It, does the
rule apply, or the nader kiss any
she ehoOses?"
I When this was referred TO The Red Ear Expert
the first response was series Of chuckles followed
by voIuble and circmsantial story Of the time
he fooled all his rivals by smuggling in an even
halt dozen spurious red ears he had previously col
lecied and painted. As the corn al this particular
party was OF unusually even yellow color the fore
handed expert had almost a monopoly OF the enter
tanment
As 10 The rules the Expert eonfeSSes That his
memory is falling. II there are any hard and fast
regulations he believes they are more honoted in
the breach than in the observance
'Jn my day" he advises US 81 always held that
the finding Of a red ear entitled me to kiss any
and every girl / could catch. Ny girl was always
close by when discovered the ear, so she always
came FIRST, but | had an enormous appetite for
huskin' bee kisses"
However in some circles, he admits, rules are
enforced. Usually these are ground rules" some
thing like the rule that makes fly into the Polo
Grounds beachers a home nm All that is neces-
sary IS to proclaim them in advance and apply them
to all As a fair compromise between the un-
bndled greed Of our Red Ear Expert and restriction
Of kisses to partners It might be possible to arrange
that each red ear discovery should give the man
the right to kiss his partner and one or two others
Of his choice.
IN difference to the Nineteenth Amendment the
girls should have equal rights.

But when the fans begin betting with profess

In small friendly bets there would be nothing TO
