It's Always

BY Jesse wilkins.

W on decide to succumb to one
of these hot spring nights
and take the gal rowin'.
You call up and ask her sweetly
II she wouldn't like to 80 for a
row an just as sweetly she purrs
back to you that Eddie jam OH
you know Eddie, Paul? Oh, yes,
you do. Eddie's just asst me to 50

It's just the fastest thing; think
1t will be perfectly thrillin'. An

after me. Maybe some other night,
Paul, I'll go. just love the water,
but OF course rowin's rather dull.

a $1,000 motorboat what's named
after yuh. Why don't yuh GET
but you have put the dollar bill you
had planned to sacrifice to a row
on the lake plus blisters on your
hands, back into your purse and
you are on your way to cuss the
duplicity of ali females and to
drown your wretched feelings in .
large beaker of cream soda.
You ask the cross-eyed- gal at
the boarding house to the big
amusement park for the evening,
seem you feel sorry for her, as
yuh figure gal as homely as she
is must of course be lonesome. She
crawls into ninety dollars worth
of glad rags and lightly trips out
but only as far as the curb. 40 she
says on account OF havin' her op'ra
slippers on, yer better Gala cab.
Yuh do an she thinks 1t viii be
lovely to go right out to the park
in it, the park bein' only nine miles
out. You do and all the way out
she tells yuh how many birds are
stuck on her and why she has
never married, ct cetra. Your
taxi bill is $40, which is nothir

it down.
She inhales six. absorbs chat

then says she's ready to taxi home

HOW TO BEHAVE
BY SUE STuART,

Are you ever tongue-tied at
social gathering?
There is no need for you to be
a wailflower. Our handy little
pocket-size booklet, Slang in Six
Easy Lessons viii see you
through many a rough evening.
and enable you to be the life of
the party.
For example: You are sitting
next to a beautiful girl. but you
don't know how to open the con-
versation. A tonsil bound tenor
has just finished executing THE
Rosary''--by request. As the last
agonized means die on the air,
you should turn to the beautiful
girl, and poking her briskly in
the ribs with your elbow, remark
lightly "We1l-that's over. Who
let in that white hope with the
cutaway chin, anyhow-some one
ought to tear him loose from his
subconscious ego" If she re-
plies, with a burst of girlish
laughter. THAT is my husband, "
you will instantly see that you
have made the hit of the evening.
How many times have you seen
a lady drowning, but did not
know the correct social usage for
such occasions?
Our pamphlet, How to Avoid
Embarrassment at Drowning -
bound in duck-should be in your
vest pocket whenever you visit
the seashore. Walking as close
to the water line as is possible
without wetting your shoes you
should first attract the lady's at
tention either by whistling. Amt
You Comm Out, Malinda ?" or
the more modern method Of wig
wa gging. Upon receiving tine
lady's sign of recognition, you
should then address her as fol
lows, in a firm but refined tone;
Hey, lady" Tor "girlie," as you
prefer "do you know the Smith
family in New York City?' II
she responds in the affirmative
YOU then volunteer the inforn1a-
ton: "well, the Smiths live next
door to my boss, 50 that practical
lv makes us acquainted, don't
YOU thinker do you?" Upon re-
ceiving her consent you then pro
coed to read to her Chapter TX.
of our pamphlet, How to Re-
move Water Spots from Bathing
Suits" and after this, II the lady
is still in sight. 1t is quite proper
to summon the life-saving crew.

HAWK-EYED OFFICIAL
WANTS 12-HOUR DAY
ON FEDERAL WORK

Rockford, Ill.-Because certain un-
skilled callings in the dredging service
is not mentioned in the federal eight
hour law, some one has issued an or.
der that these workers be placed or
12-hour day. Dredging crews that
were affected ceased work and sub
stitutes were secured from Dubuque
but they refused to work when they
became acquainted with conditions.
The 12-hour order provided that
each towboat, dredge, drill boat and
derrick boat in the district will BIZ
manned with, a double crew, each crew
to be on 12-hour basis
The order applies to the crew, blu,
not to employees who are specifically
mentioned in the law. To comply with
the law in the case of the skilled
workers, an extra of each of these
crafts was to be employed
whether the government is Off
cially back of this move, or whether
it is just an attempt on the part Of
some petty office holder to enforce his
Individual desires upon the men under
him, We are unable to learn at this
time," says the Tri-City Labor Re
view.
"Just imagine the inconsistency o
an order specifying that certain mem
bers of a towboat, dredge, ETC., mus
be put on an eight-hour basis, as tn,
law particularly specifies that the,
shall not work more than eight hours
while at the same time other govern
ment employees on the same boat hav,
their hours increased to IL per day il
an attempt to take advantage of ;
technicality in the wording of a Law
which failed to state the names ant
classifications of each and every work
| er employed on a government boat"
