Jazzing Comet Headed This Way Due
tn Strike June 26

According to students of the sky,
the night of June 26 is to be rip
shorter on this planet Of ours. 1t is
said that the world may be burned
up, or less worse, there may be a
tremendous display of fireworks.
There is said to be a comet headed
towards the earth, named Posas-
Winnecke, which is said to have a
vivacious disposition, and "slings a
mean tail" Said comet is said to be
rushing toward the inhabitants of
this piece of earth at the rate of many
thousand miles per minute. If the
head of the comet strikes the earth,
according to astronomers, we won't
know much about it. If the tip of the
comets tail bruches the earth, it will
be the biggest display of fireworks
since July 4, 1776, they say. Don't
lose any seep," however, is the COM
forting words from the sky students.

Those Wooden Ships

THE Government of the United States, while snugy
nesting in the hands Of profteers during the war;
bailt $25oOOO,OOo worth of wooden ships
The that built the ships got the money that is
what chiefly interested THEM.
Now it is discovered by Mr. Lasker practical head Of
the Shipping Board who is endeavorng the peoples
money, that these ships apparently ABSOLUTELY
useless Nobody BUY them; it the Govern
ment million dollars year to take of them Mr.
Laskers pan unless something better is suggested to
take these ships TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS worth of them out to and sink them.
What would YOU do with those ships; how could they
be usedi
It has been suggested in this newspaper that they might
hauled rivers and bays fastened to the shore
used by citizens summer homes camps sleeping
deck in nice weather going below in bad weather. with
hunks and sitting rooms below the decks
But Mr.. Lasker says it would cost than anybody
would pay tow these ships to places where they would
be wanted When the suggestion made to him he
inundated with letters, thousands of them day. Spare
him repetition of that affiction, but think it If
you really TO BUY such ship write to the Shipping
Board ask how big the ships and what they would cost
Since Mr. Lasker intends to sink them and destroy them
utterly you might be able to buy for five dollars apiece
even ten cents, ship that cost fortune.
With the rest of your thinking don't forget include
little thought about the kind of United States patriots
that allowed the Government to spend two hundred and
fifty million dollars building ships that now absolutely
worthless and that in the public interest Mr. Lasker will
probably be compelled to tow out into the ocean, where
they will be sent to the bottom.
If you can imagine any magnificent demonstration
of the character of the 81 year patriotism that ruled and
robbed this country in the please tell what it is
What is your plant Perhaps the ships could be beached
high tide low shores where fishermen others could
break them up for rewood That would be better than
sinking them.
