joyOusly began their second honey
moons after a double divorce followed
by marriages in which the most, COM
plicated swap since David Harum's''
last "hoss'' trade was effected.
For eight years Bert and Beatrice
Sanders had danced and attended
parties with Leroy and Maude Green,
their friends and neighbors. Up to
five weeks before last Christmas it
was just a neighborly affair. Then
something began to happen.
Mr.. Green told Mrs. Sanders (ac-
c0rding to Mr.. Sanders version) that
she was the most beautiful woman
in North Indianapolis"
Mr.. Sanders declined to reveal Just
what he told Mrs. Green. but he con-
fessed his remarks covered more ter

business men had been unable to re-
sist an impulse to advertise their
home town.
The following morning 1t was dis
covered that during the night the
twelve coaches which carried the Kan
sas City party carried the legends
"U. of c." and university of Colo
rado."
Superintendent Mitchell Of the rail-
road said it would cost 5000 to re-
paint the train, and asked the city
marshal to arrest whoever was re-
sponsible.
Do you remember the sad expert
ence of former United States Senator
j. Hamilton Lewis Of Illinois when he
undertook to kid waitress at a res
taurant trequented by college boys?
The whiskered statesman really did
a good job, but the waitress smiled
indulgently and remarked: you must
remember, Senator, I have been
kidded by experts"
Well, Kansas City may have smart
Chamber of Commerce. If so, its
members will hesitate hereafter to

are the most expert players in the
