IN DISGUISE

! read all the circulars sent me,
The booklets and catalogues, too.
Advertisements don't discomfort me
When plainly presented to view
But all of my rage / unfetter
In cursing, with bile and with gall,
The letter that looks like letter
But isn't letter at all.
It's aspect is always effective,
With quite luxurious touch,
1t gives you feeling prospective
Of dividends, bank-drafts and
such.
Alas, it's an ad for a sweater,
Or Clothing for Winter and FALL
This letter that looks like letter
But isn't letter at all.
Pm glad to peruse advertising
That's labeled so perfectly
plain,
But as to this tricky Disgusting
1t gives me a wearisome pain;
And | will be anyone's debtor
Who'll help to abolish this stall
The letter that looks like letter
But isn't a letter at all.

DRINKS

Liquor makers held an anti-pro-

where the Daily Mail in its report
of the meeting recorded:
Mr.. H. F, Fox Omitted States)
said that police statistics in his
county, while showing more drunk
enness under prohibition, did not
tell of what was going on in the
peoples homes or behind closed
doors in private clubs. There had
been startling increase in motor
ing accidents due to drunken driv-
ers, in divorces and homicides."
That first sentence is partly cor
rect. The last sentence is bunk.
