sEpIGRAMs AND WITTY SAYINGS.

Some people say that money will talk.
That's a truthful and wonderful phrase:
But we also know that money will walk,
Though it doesn't go far now a-days.
Woman is fckl9', but we all know
that. Why not make it: Woman is
brittle for a change? Only thar de-
ponds on how you touch" 'em.
Some men swear by money, Some men
swear by rum; | know it may sound fun
ny, But such men are always bum.
Marriage is a lottery, For better or
for worse Some marriages are like pot
terry, A tinkle A crash ! Then a curse
We all know girls who are peaches,
We all know girls who are tart; But
there's just one thing history teaches.
We know that a girl has 4 heart.
Diplomacy seems TO be the key word
these days. But the girls c,uld have
taught US that & e ago.
Chaperens seems te ha We quite gone out
of date. Perhaps the explanation is be-
cause there are so pan chaps %aroun''
these days.
What's in a name, a rose by any name
will smell as sweet. This may have
been a bit of alright in Williams day.
but it won't work in these days. Just
you go and make the fatal mistake of
calling your present girl by her predeces-
sor's name. What'll happen ? Wait And
See, that's all.

WAR WORK NEARING END

The last boat being completed at the
local shipyard under the government
war contracts, hull number ll6, was
launched last Saturday. There was
nothing but necessary business of the
launching at the time. The last boat
is an oil burning, sea-going steel ship
of full "canal size," meaning as big as
she can be and get out to deep water.
She will be christened Souix City.
This is the thirty-ffth boat built here
to be taken over by the government
since our entry into the war.
Thirteen of these were ships not
started for the government but requi-
sitioned after being started. This last
boat is the twenty-second built for the
United States shipping board under the
wartime contracts. There are four of
these in the water at the yards now
rapidly approaching completion. When
they are finished the government war
work will be completed. Boats have
been built for the government up till
this time because there was considered
to be less loss in completing many of
the boats contracted for than to can
eel all orders.

JUST LIKE BROADWAY

1t surely looks metropolitan to see
traffic cops in the center Of downtown
crossings waving the traffic hther and
yon with lordly gestures, The rcgula-
tion of traffic was ucccssitatcd by the
double burden Eighth street bridge has
assumed since Tenth street bridge was
shut Off This situation will last Tor
many months and the traffic policemen
will probably be necessary at least un-
til the new bridge at Tenth street is
opened.
The city attorney has drafted an or
dinance covering the authority of the
traffic squad and it will probably be in
troduccd at the next meeting Of the
city council

MUNICIPAL COURT

Albert Meyer paid ten dollars for
passing a street car which was dis
charging passengers at Eighth and
Rankin streets.
M. G. Burns of Milwaukee took the
easy route around the corner to the
left and he paid 81 and costs.
The game laws are not SO lenient as
the street traffic laws as August
Schramm learned. Conservation War
den Egan accused him of catching rock
bass at the Rapids out of season and
Schramm owned up. He had to any
way as the warden had the goods on
him. August paid $685. and lost the
bass besides.

CAR VOLPLANES DOWN BANK

A closed car containing five people
came west on State street Saturday
night When the car reached Tenth
street it kept right on westerly in utter
disregard of the fact that the street
ended in a perpendicular river bank a
few dozen feet further on. If the ear
had been going slow it might have
rolled over and injured the occupants.
1t was going fast and it took the river
bank in a jump and landed on all fours
in the mud inside the dock line. No
once was hurt, which comes near to be-
ing one of the miraculous escapes"
that the papers have happening daily.
