The best SMILES for 1925 -
the fifth annual crop-have been
gathered by Frank j. Wllstacn,
author of GA Dictionary Of Slml-

will be discovered that the new
crop is rich in witty and pic
turesque material The old-tlme
smile dealt pretty much with the

but this sort of thing has been
almost entirely discarded in favor
Of those dealing with new Gus

Here are samples:
Fits like a bandage.
Noisy as a scorned sinner.
Thin as a flapper's eyebrow.
Punctual as an eclipse.
Low as a caterpillar's tummy.
Serious as the Ten Command

The idea went over her head
like a tent.
Close as collar button to your
backbone.
Useless as curry-comb in De-
troit.
False as the promises Of a
book-borrower.
A reputation as loose as flap
per's galosh.
Tiresome as bedtime uncle on
the radio.
Unearned as a princes medals.
Heavy as grand opera chorus
girl.
Popular as loud speaker in
two-room flat.
Optimistic as q seed-seller's
catalogue.
Impossible as to outlive your
pallbearoE.
Stale as last years batting
averages.
Crowded as a bathroom medi-
cine chest.
Ineffective as spotlight turned
upon a blaze Of sunlight.
So still you could hear the
microbes gnashing their teeth.
Paying alimony is like buying
oats for a dead horse.
He looked her over like a dem
tist hunting for a cavity.
He looks like an accident going
somewhere to happen.
His radio sounds like cage in
the zoo.
Useless as a tire pump in q
canoe.
Hard as to stop q subscription
to an alumni publication.
She is as slender as q swagger
stick.
Ever ready. like a taxi in q
movie.
He knocked him as flat as a

rubber doormat.
A face as long as a winter
night in Norway.
Nervous as man with
strange bootlegger.
Unknown as if they lived in
the apartment next.
Futile as the martial roll OF a
toy drum.
He treated a book like an
osteopath.
She was so thin that her full
face looked like a profile.
Helpless as a crossword puzzle
without a pencil.
His eyes hanging out on his
cheeks like a couple OF overcoat
buttons.
Flutters gently, like whiskers
dropping on barber-shop floor:
A good man is like a tennis
ball-the harder you hit him, the
higher he bounces.
The mosquito is like a child.
When he stops making a noise,
you know he is getting into some
thing.
Marriage is like using the tele-
phone; you don't always get the
right party.
Mean as the barber who put
hair-restorer in his shaving cream.
Stingy as the man who tried to
send a night letter during an
eclipse.
Adventurous as flapper who
jilts duke and marries a bond
salesman.
Easily as small boy can lose
his hat.
Life is like game Of cards
the queen always follows the jack.
A honeymoon is a good deal like
a man laying off to take an ex-
pensive vacation and coming back
to different job.
