yogis and their youthful sirens are
trying desperately to nnd some
beacon light of Joy in the fog in
which prohibition has enmesbed
them. Cafes have become intoler-

Even the soundproof midnight
supper rooms hold the element of
danger. What To do! What to do!
Even to 60 on the hunt of pleas

of hooch-is like stalking the deer

Just now the midnight sons and
daughters are finding some relief
from the dreadful ennui In the
private appearance at apartment

He is a grotesque figure who has
seeped up from the east side in an
ill-htting dress suit, brown shoes

He Is a singer of weird ditties

Mikey, the Dope, his eyes ablaze
with cocaine. has q voice sounding
like the noise Of a strangled turkey
gobbler. Filled with drugs, his hot
brain in dizzy tumult, he twitches
and chants and most of the time
his gibberish is not understandable.
To normal person the effect
is eerie, but the tenderioin crowds
applaud and shout their approval.
Not to have seen Mikey. the Dope.
Is tantamout to a confession that
you do not belong-that you are
hopelessly unsophisticated.

probation of his value for he

Nine-tenths OF the soreness In
the arm of the average baseball
player is in his head. 1 mean
that often it's more pure imagi-
nation than actual pain. OF
course, there are plenty of cases
where this is not 50.
A bad cold which has set In
the arm will cause sore muscles.
To avoid this the player should
not sit around while perspiring
freely. without sweater or
some such covering about him.
Strong liniment doesn't do
much good for a sore arm. In my
opinion. 1t merely stings so
badly you forget the original
pain until nature has had a
chance to work out the soreness
herself.
There Is nothing much better
for sore muscles than action
not too much, but enough to
drive the stiffness out.
Plenty of good outdoor exer-

1t surprises me to see how many
boys of today are underdevel-
oped physically. It's a shame.
Is young America growing up
as q bunch of lounge-lizards?
Let's hope not.
Too many of the boys like so
ciety" affairs to much and are
just too lazy to getJout and exert
themselves a little bit.

both were swinging knives at one

Judge Hardison took a good look
at the cut coat and sent Halle
