GAS AND BOOZE
BY WALT MASON

The man who drives a motor car
must be alert and wide awake or he
may harvest wound and scar, and
every kind of pain and ache. What
ever faculties are his he should keep
busy on tht Job, for reckless drivers
round him whiz, a never ceasing, dead
" mob. Most drivers now are sober
lads, because they can't be otherwise:
the Old Red Juice that cheertd our
dads a man can't purchase if he tries.
oh, men are sober when they tread
upon the gas. and let her go. and yet
the daily list of dead. by autos slain,
fills me with woe. If men could get
a slug of booze at every hamlet on the
way. the poor old coroner would lose
the little sleep he gets today. l would
not dare to drive my car along the
busy public street, if every village had
a bar where speeding maniacs might
meet. Refreshed by taking forty drops,
in maudlin haste they'd journey
thence, and kill brace of traffic cops,
and knock my tumbril through fence.
There's peril now in every mile, there's
death wherever crossroads are, and
trembling, | forget to smile, when I
am riding in my car. How would it
be if jingled jays went crashins
through the helpless crowds? Oh,
death would govern all the ways. and
there would be a boom in shrouds.
We'd be forever in a sweat least we
be killed by drunken hicks; I'm glad
that booze is hard TO get, for booze
and gasoline won't mix.

Answers to Questions

Mrs. F. B. What is the London
Tower?-The Tower of London is
group of buildings, the oldest of
which is the central White Tower,
built in the time of William the Con-
queror on the site of an earlier fort
ress, dating, according to some au-
thorities, from the rule of julius Gaze
sar. The Tower, known chiefly for
its history as prison, was also the
scene of the courts of some of the
earlier kings. Many distinguished
prisoners have been led from one or
another of it's buildings to execution,
and large number of these, including
Sir Thomas More, Anne Boleyn, Lady
Jane Grey and Catherine Howard, lie
buried in the Tower Chapel. For
sheer dramatic horror there is little
to touch upon the stored past of the
dungeons of the White Tower. 1t was
called La Tour Blanche" in the days
of the Plantagenets and obtained its
name from the frequency with which
1t was whitewashed. 1t is ninety feet
high and the walls are from twelve
to fifteen feet thick. On each of four
turrets is a weathercock. The Tower
of London is now open to the public.
Visitors find much to interest them,
though the associations of the old
fortress are almost uniformly tragic
Miss M. G. T.-Where are Czecho-
Slovakia, Esthonia and Jugo-Slavia?
I-Czechoslovakia lies to the east of
Prague, between Austria and Hungary
on the south and Germany and Poland
on the north. Esthonia lies along the
south shore of the Gulf of Finland,
and Jugo-Slavia lies along the east
shore of the Adriatic, extending south
to Greece, but not including Albania
and Montenegro. They are now free
nations.

THE MOVIE HERO
BY ROY K. MOULTON


In dress he is a paragon, a princeling
from old Aragon,
A human walking fashion-plate IN
clothing Beau Brummelian,
Immaculate from tie to hose, he
doesn't seem to try to pose,
His garb is part of him as is the
coat of chameleon.
His hair in gently curling locks makes
rivals feel like hurting rocks,
His eyes are round and guileless as
babys toward its mother.
In short, he's quite perfectitude and
champion of rectitude,
Buff he ever had thought, he'll
never have another.
His will so unbeatable, his morals
His mode of life so lily-pure we
blush at our transgressions,
And we of weak humanity must envy
his urbanity,
His constant poise, his grace, his
strength. the play of his ex-
pressions.
Yet life is so invidious and sin is so
insidious,
Some villains always round to cause
his noble brow to pucker.
And though we hate to criticise, the
film we can epltomlZe
BY saying they invariably work him
for a sucker.
But Nature was so good to him in
giving all it could to him,
Including all it takes to make a hit
among the women,
We find it scarce astonishing and
hardly worth admonishing,
That when it comes to brains child
could hand the lad a trimmin'.
His intellect works choppily, but no
one has monopoly
On every virtue. Qn some line ones
got to be a martyr.)
He looks like all Filth avenue and yet
he'll never have new
