VELVET JOE's 1921 ALMANAC

Packed tight with useful, interest
ing information. Velvet Joe's Alma
nae for 1921 is now bein distrlb-
uted. Velvet Joe, who is known to
millions through his genial philoso-
ply on pipe smoking, has establish
ed in his Almanac a Bureau of In
formation that is becoming a ma
tonal institution.
While following, TO some extent.
traditional methods in the prepare
ton of almanacs, he has gone far
afield in his search for odd and use
full facts. For example, the reader is
given the last word in photography
the reproduction of pictures over
telephone wires. Up-to-the-minute in
formation Is offeed on aerial passen-
ger service and the sending of post
office material via the air mail. This
feature alone lends unusual interest
to the Almanac.
Those interested in the Olympic
games will find carefully tabulated
results of the 1920 events, and, on
the same page, is listed the summary
of Worlds Championship baseball
series since Boston beat Pittsburgh
in 1903.
Quite timely, too. are the 1920 cen
sus figures of every state and all
cities Of $4,000 population or over,
showing comparison with 1910 fig
ures and giving percentage of in
crease and decrease.
Many important Government and
political statistics are included, espe-
cially Informative being the plurality
and electoral votes of the Harding
Cox campaign, by States. The elect
oral and popular vote for President
since 1910 is afro listed. There is n
political QUESTIONABLE that the men
folks should study before discuss
ing politics on suffrage with the new
women voters.
And even the most experienced
housewife will discover new, helpful
suggestions for saving time and tenn
per in the performance of household
duties, while for the children numer-
Gus games are explained.
Lieutenant Colonel Connor, Medi-
cal Corps. L. s Army has prepared
a special list of suggestions on first
aid as recommended by the American
Red Cross. These commonsense
health suggestions should prove eX
tremely helpful to everyone.
Another special contribution is the
outline OF the activities of the Amer
can Legion. Then there are the re-
vised automobile laws OF the various
States-and other suggestions for
the guidance of motorists. Fastidious
men will find a correct Dress Chart,
and agriculturists can pore over the
crop reports for 1918
1920.
And, of course, as n seasoning for
the Almanac, Velvet Joe's own quaint
