THOUGHT SOME ONE WAS ILL
But Groans Came From Hattie,
Legion Carnival Hippo.

The quiet of the Y. W. c. A. library,
the sympathy of a woman and the
proximity of the American Legion
carnival to the Y. w. C. A. contributed
to an amusing incident Thursday
night.
The sympathetic woman in the
library could not continue her rea ding
in peace. She looked up from her
book frequently with a troubled ex-
preston as a groaning sound came
apparently from some part of the Y.
W. c. A. building or nearby. Pres
emily she arose, left the library and
went to the desk in the lobby of the
building where she asked in a soft
voice of the secretary:
rs there some one sick around
here? 1t sounds like someone's suf-
fering dreadfully.''
The grooming noises were coming
from Hattie" world famed animal
of the carnival, corralled at Seventh
and Van Buren, streets. Those who
have attended the carnival are familiar
with the hippo-like CALCULATIONS of
