"SHE SHOULD CARE"

She knew milk came in bottles,
And was sold at the store;
Also pies. cakes and vegetables.
But why should she know mOFeT
Suppose she hadn't seen q pig,
Nor glimpsed a gentle COW,
So long an she had chocolates
And q beefsteak then and now?
But she knew all the cake-eaters.
And "SheiIS' to her was grand:
She knew all the "sweIIest'7 dancers
And pranced to music Of jazz band.

But she knew all the vaInpish smiles;
So what mattered anything anyhow,

"Hot" dice, which were turning
more than their share of "sevens"
and "elevens," were hurriedly
shunted behind a block Of ice in
a basement chest at 2:30 o'clock
this morning when the vice squad
conducted doubled-barrelled
gambling and liquor raid at the
four-story rooming house at SOB
NJ street northwest.

Confronted with more alleged
craps shooters" and poker players
than they had anticipated, the raid
ers were unable to cope with many
of them, who hurdled low fences in
the rear yard of the residence, and
made their getaway.

to find gamblers and gambling para

discovered through Bills inQuisitive-

A fifty-two- gallon barrel Of genuine

For the first time since they have
been conducting raids, the officers
said they found bogus" corks be-

100 gallons found was choice stuff,
and included some Sherwood rye
and Johnny Walker.
A pathetic scene was enacted
while the raiders were in action
when the wife and mother, of
Francis Burke, twenty-three years
old, who was arrested by the
raiders charged with permitting
gaming, and illegal possession,
wrung their hands in anguish, and
reminded Burke that they never
had wanted the liquor brought in
the house in the first place.

Burke told the police that he did
not know the liquor was in the
house. A warrant will be issued
for a brother Of Burke who is now
in New York city. Burke, himself.

In their rush to evade the
raiders, the officers said, many OF
the gamblers ran up and jumped
in bed with their clothes on and
and disturbed innocent roomers.
Among the seized articles was an
account book which showed that
the directors of the gambling and
liouor business were taking in and
having out as high as 500 a day.
In the book, also, were number
of names of customers at the house
together with the amounts Of money
they had paid for liquor and the
amounts they owed.

JUST AN OLD DOG.

Once there was
An old dog.
He wasn't good for much,
But everybody liked him
just the same.
He would go round
Wagging his old tail,
And smiling
And shifting,
DOg-wise,
At folks heels.
He couldn't see
AS well as he once could.
And would get in the way,
And act apOlOgetic
When people pushed
Against him.
He couldn't hunt or trail,
Or even chase cats round
Effectively,
But he loved folks,
And put his old paw up
For them to shake,
And barked deIightedly
When someone stopped
To speak to him.
One day the old dog died,
And everybody
Wondered where he was,
And when they found
That he was dead.
A lot OF them Clipped in
And bought him
A big tombstone,
And the inscription read,
"TObe. He was a good old dog >

We kidded about rOlI-tOps
And said the girls were flirts.
Reformers preached sermons galore
About the knee-hlgh length dress,

Did everyone try to impress.

That long dresses are shocking;
Because the girls are hiding
Too much silk stocking!
