Is dabbed ON by the oldest hen.
How about this, girls?
No. .: Little feclls of powder,
Little spots of paint,
Make the oldest bird appear
Just like what she amt.
Seems as though we'd read that before.
No. 3: / want to be tlapper
And with the fappers stand;
With bobbed hair on my fore
head,
\ lip-stick in my hand.
My socks, I'll roll them down
Below my dimpled knees;
My nose I'll thickly powder
And rouge up if 1 please.
Well, Maisie, we can stand it if you
can.

Henry Fords railroad has just laid off
$50 men for 30 days. thereby proving that
Ford is not 4 superman; that is, he can
not fill up trains when there is nothing to
fill them with. However, the automobile
manufacturing season is likely to start
up again with fresh impetus. and then
Ford's railroad can crank up again.
