THE ETERNAL FEMININE

If we ever yield to pressure and become an
asGa,t to the presidency >tal place our fate IN
the hands If the faninine voters of party bless
their charming souls
We admire the poise and dignity they exhibited
at the netional conventional both conventions, to
be more explicit.
They just sailed in like veterans, with a grasp
of ever the most intricate detail that simply
paralvzed the old line politicians
Even before the delegates had commenced to
warm their seats the leaders tiptoeing around
on uneasy street in mortal fear Of bringing down the
dspleasure of American motherhood upon their
political heads
And yet the dear ones were so charming and so
sweet in their power that could be found who
would even think Of voicing protest.
Yes sir we tell it to the world that they were
glorious and that we are strong for the
Some day they may recognize our political
sagacity and make us president.
Speed the day!

SPORTS, OR GOATS?

Are we American people sports: or are we just
plain goats?
European countries owe the United States ten
billions of dollars, loaned to them during the war
against Germany.
This money will soon be due, and it is intimated
that the allies either not or will not pay-they
intimate the former, but we suspect the latter.
Our friends across the water, it seems, do not
want to pay until after they have collected the
money from Germany. And when they do get the
money from Germany it is possible that they
will suddenly discover some more urgent and press
ing need for it.
- Makes fellow feel fine, doesn't it? Quite
sporty,or goaty, whichever term pleases YOU
Europe tells the United States it is short of
sugar-it must have sugar.
4re We too, are ShOrt-very SHORTCUT we send it
to them, hundreds of millions of pounds
OF course that shoves I'D the price of what lit
tie we are able to buy ourselves But that doesn't
matter to us sports, goats We just revel in cough
ing up lively for the benefit of our dear friends
across the water.
Why should we ask Europe to pay us the patry
ten billions of dollars they owe us? Would that be
sporty or goaty?
- Why should we tell them they can't have our
sugar, because we haven't enough ourselves for our
calming and our tables? Would a SPORT or goat,
be so :mgenerous?
Why not give them everything they want and
thank them for taking it? Wouldn't that be quite
sporty or tremendously goaty:
Why not be genuine SPORTS or wholehearted
goats, while are about it?
For isn't is onite jolly to be sport or supreme
ly comforting to be goat?
