HOLES
BY LEE PAPE.

HOLES
A hole is nuthing almost serrOunded by
The more there is Of 1t the
deeper it gets, and there is no limit to its
shape
Holes change according to cercum-
stances. sutch as for instants wen a hole
in the street gets fall of.watter it changes
to a puddle. witch is one of the, most I'M
populer kinds of holes to step into. Envy
body that steps into the same puddle twice
is naturally dunn.
The hole in a cruller tells it apart from
a d0Ughnut but is otherwise USELESS unless
you have a ambition to bite GROUND it to
see how neer you can come and still miss
it.
The funniest holes is Supposed to be the
holes in Swiss cheese, being even funnier
to talk about than wat they are to look
at No matter how ignorant you are, if
you mention the holes in Swiss cheese you
can always make somebody laff.
If you see a Teller wawking backwards
it may be because he's got a suddin hole
in his pants and is trying to dislike it,
because he's tired of wawking fruntwerds.
This proves appearances are deceittill.
One of the most incOnvenieit holes is a
hole in your pockit that you know about
but cant remember. One of the most con-
venient holes is a hole in the tents
Ground ball game.
Holes disappear as soon as you take
away watts Ground them. 4 hole by it
self is impossible and therefore d hole
can never have handle.

With the opening of school near at
hand the papers are busy featuring the
I'D complaint of insufficient housing and
seating space to accommodate the chill
lren. Once more teachers and pupils
must face the years work under condi-
lions which make for poor work, while
he public, responsible for the situation,
demands the best results in education. 1t
: too late to erect new buildings now.
1t is too late to complete many which
nave been started. But it is not too late
sor the public to cooperate with the
school authorities in making such tenn
oorary arrangements for the children as
will insure that every child has COM

Iisgraces of America. How can it be
,therwise when the nation, year after

most important institution, the public
school?

ifice. ask the old builders and sculptors
who planned and carved those grlnning
gargovles on Notre Dame at Paris and
a hundred other famous cathedrals, ana
made their ecclesiastic woodwork alive
with human faces and figures of every
type and mood.
Is not religion, anyway, concerned
with everything human?
Perhaps such carvings, too, are partic-
ularly needed in modern times, to inter
est movie devotees in the churches.

Clara Butt, the famous contralto. be-
iieves she is the only singer who ever
paid to hear herself sing. In her stu
story. she entertained fond hopes of
singing some day in the Albert hall,
but was secretly afraid that her voice
would not be powerful enough to fill the
great hall. So one day, as soon as the
doors were open. she paid the customary
small fee charged to enter the hall Find
ing her way up to one of the balcony
seats and trusting that no one was
about. she began to sing. To her joy,
she could hear her voice, and with more
qualification, perhaps, than she ever ex-
before great audiences that filled the
hall.
