DEAR THELMA:

| LEAN If1ELINAA:
A Georgia Colonel of
I the old school often made
the proud boast that he
hadn't drunk a drop Of wa
4 ter in 20 years. (This hap
\ pened some years ago,
hunny.
4 One day the old Colonel
was on the train, bound for
| Nashville, when the train
\ rolled into the river.
They pulled the Colonel
out with a boat-hook, and
friends rushed up, crying:
"Oh, Colonel; are you
much hurt?"
MOP snorted the Col
onel. "Never swallowed a
damn drop"
Now, old dear, that story
| hasn't a thing in the world
to do with VULCANIZING
! or with GOODYEAR tires
\ and tubes, unless it is that
both the story and my work
and GOODYEARS are all
| good.
l At least lots of folks think
so, or they wouldn't Phone
SOC every time their tires
give them trouble. Of course,
\ Pm always on the job and
that helps.
4 Yours

The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-03-23
By NORMAN F. BROWN

That's the question fans are asking as Genn ki1Iinger, wonder quarter back of the Penn State football team last year, trAes out for a. big league berth at the Yankees training camp Will he stea alongside of George Sisler. Derri1l Pratt, Joe SeweI and other college boys who have gone al most directly from the college ath- letic field into big league fame?
 killinger, like all the boys. has the athletic training, the perfect phy- sique and the alret brain needed by big league star. But many others have had those assets and still failed to deliver.
 KilIinger was born in Harrisburg Pa. September 13, 1898. He attend ed Harrisburg Tech school and gain ed his first fame as an athlete at that school. After graduating from that school Kfilinger decided he wanted to follow in his dads footsteps and started work in said dads hardware store. But counting three-penny nails and door hinges failed to appeal to him and he decided to enter Penn State He did and very promptly went in for football, starring in his freshman year.
 He took in other sports as they came along and during his career explained the basketball team and was on the varsity baseball, swim ming and track teams.
 Last year his wonderful general ship, brilliant running and aH- around playing at quarter for Penn State earned him a place on practi- cal1y all the all-American and all- Eastern teams.

Billy Whiskers
By Frances Trego Montgomery.

 The day afteE the storm, Billy, Bet
 tina, Stubby and Button all returned
 to town to try to find the red brick
 hotel they had been looking for when
 they were coaxed off by the boys.
 We must find that hotel today or
 bust said Billy, ,tand woe betide any one that tries to stop me. Ii we don't find it, we can't follow the crows directions, in which case I
 won't be able to find my way back to Nannie.''
 After reaching the town. they sep arated as before, with the unders stana ing that the one to find it first Nas to, stay there and keep calling until the others came to him. As Billy was walking peacefully up
 one street and down another, woIder-
 ing where that red brick hotel lould
 be, he heard a great chatter and com
 motion behind him and, turning, he
 saw 8 heavy steam roller rubbing
 along the street. But this wis not
 the only noise he heard or tIf only
 thing he saw, for running aheaf of it
 was small. bony horse. snort41g and
 puffing as he tried to kick Himself
 loose from a hurdy-gurdy, .n the
 front seat of which sat an oily Italian
 and his wife, while up behinl them
 on the top of the hurdy gurdy sat two monkeys. dressed in blue and scarlet.
 little caps their heads trim
 with gold lace and bells. The Italian
 was trying to stop the frightened
 horse and his wife was trying to pro- tect her knees from the kicking
 horse, while the monkeys clung to the top of the hurdy-g gurdy, their wrinkled faces drawn into deep scowIs. Down the street they came,
 headed directly for Billy, with the
 old hurdy-gurdy throwing out stray notes now and then as 1t received an
 extra jolt which moved the macain-
 cry.
 m just stop this runaway
 thought Billy to himself, "by placing
 myself in the middle of the street. so they can't pass"
 Just as Billy came to this conclu- sion, the hurdy-gurdy went over a bad place in the street. which threw the Italian and his wife out on their heads. knocking them senseless. The monkeys still clung on and one, see nng his master gone and the horse still running, jumped on the horses stop it.
 By this time they were very near to where Billy was standing, and he called out to the monkey: Good work. You are a, clever fel- iow.''
 But the monkey only looked at him with twinkling eyes and did not re- ply
 When the hurdy-gurdv came to standsfilI, the monkey on the horses back jumped to his seat beside his chum and sat there as If nothing had happened
