THERE'S A MAN IN OUR TOWN
Who is a far more clever person
TIM Ed Wynn, or so he thinks. Ed
Wynn, as you know, is the New York
theatrical producer who has figured
the burning power of a candle down
TO such fine point that he is plan
ming having an eight-hour candle

light it, place it in his ear, and then, of
course, when the thing burns down
next morning, the warm, real warm
sensation will awaken the sleeper
(provided he has gone to sleep.) The
Topeka man has one make of cigar
which is the fifteen minute kind. He
lights one as he leaves the house in
the morning and he knows without
looking at his watch whether he is
going to be late at the office orSnot
by the length of the cigar. If it is
over half gone before he reaches To-
peka boulevard, then he hurries up,
but if it is just about half finished
then he knows he is in plenty of time.
