IN WHICH WE OBLIGE A
FRIEND.
A friend to me said frankly
"Crabb,
Why don't you write more verse
Your poems are quite bad enough,
But your prose is so much worse!"
why don't you fiji the col. with
rhyme,
And cut out that bum humor?
Your witticisms are deplaved;
You must have brain tumor!"
And so, thought I, I'll take her tip,
III heed her friendly warning;
So here it is, friend, strictly fresh,
BUT ONLY FOR THIS MORN
ING.
MY KINGDOM FOR A CY-
CLONE CELLAR.
We thought we'd write an ode to
SpflnE,
But spring is such a slip'ry thing,
We changed our thoughts to whis-
Ting winds,
For those are ever ON our minds.
IN WITCH WE GOT OFF ON
THE WRONG FOOT.
l remember, | remember, twas
eighteen months ago,
L landed in Old Albuquerque,
where breezy ee2ies blow,
L had a bag, twas far from light,
it was too much for me,
| looked about for helping hands,
but not one could / see.
tried to get taxicab, but no cab
could l find,
saw some boys i'm uniform. but
they paid me no mind,
FOR they We're there to carry
things for tho Alvarado's
trade,
And was out here seeking health,
with reservations made.
In vain ! sought Red Cap boy.
in yam l looked for help,
But not n soul was there around.
so this is why | yelp:

forlorn and quite forgot

The treatment ] received that day
was nothing short of rotten.
SO if we'd bring the sick folk here,
let's make a good beginning,
By having porters at the trains

GERMANY HOPES
u. S. WILL AID IN
CHANGING TERMS
Government Hopes TO Delay Set
tlement Till Harding
Goes In.

BERLIN. Feb. 2.-Germany does
not consider the terms Of reparation
decided upon by the Supreme Allied
Council at Paris last week as being
the final settlement OF the Indemnity
question, but the basis OF future ne
gotiationH.
This was indicated by DR.. Walter
Slmons, Foreign Minister, who spoke
on the reparatiOns question before
the Reichstag yesterday. His ad-
dress was viewed as a cautious
statement by party leaders who were
willing TO informally discuss II In
the lounging room OF the Relchstag
after the session had adjourned.
The prevalent opinion was that
DR.. Simons had not burned his
bridges behind him. and that his
presentation OF the German attitude
might enable him to gain important
time, both in anticipating the atti-
tude OF the new American Admins
tration and in reaching a definite
settlement OF the fate OF Upper
Silesia.
Rumors have been current that the
present German Cabinet would resign,
but they have been given little Gre
dence, as no other Coalition Gov
ernment would be conceivable under
the present unanimlty Of political
parties in Germany. Only the Com
munists stand out as the Opposition.
