NOW. HONESTLY

Consider the friendly waitress.
She's the girl who walks a million
miles a day. toting a million dishes
day. and attempts to satisfy mil
lion odd appetites a day.
We all get peeved at her-may be
because she neglects to bring more
butter-or because she makes a
slight mistake in our order.
And we persist in forgetting that
she's Just a human being.
It's pretty soft for the rest of us
to simply walk In and order her
around.
Let's make It a bit softer for her
by returning the friendliness and the
patience she gives us.

People are funny. at that. Not to

F"rinstance, the fellow who has
nothing to do, so drops in on a friend
during business hours and proceeds
to put the kibosh on the work plans
of said friend.
A nice afternoon is had by all
and then some one has to make up
for It the next day-and It isn't the

Cheerio, the First Robin!
Ye Ed takes pleasure in an.
nouncing that he has again
beaten the world to press with
news OF The First Robin, thanks
to Squire William Moore, Of Lit
tlefield Manor, Hyattsville.
Squire Billy is an. old friend
and valued subscriber, and never
more so than now. For he is It
who has brought to our atten-
ton the appearance Of Springs
infallible harbinger.
Let our honored contemporaries
rant and roar as they may, dur
ing the weeks that precede the
merry time of bursting buds and
budding Byrons, we have licked"
them fair and square, you might
say.
A lot Of uninitiated are per-
haps not aware Of the intense,
rivalry OF the local papers to be
first with news OF the Initial
case, and we may well be par
uOtlO0 LUZ SA4AOWAAAS O0S O0A NAAO0S
to some extent.
Squire Moore reports as fol-
lows: IL have been following
weather signs for 81 years, man
and boy. and have never seen it
to fail but that a robin In Feb
ruary means showers in April.
Even II the robin doesn't appear
in February. but In March, April
or May. we are likely to have
showers in April. anyhow.
..I saw the first. robin two
weeks ago, hopping around on
our lawn, wearing ear nuffs. a
wooden muffler and galoshes, and
complaining bitterly about the
grippe that's going around
Squire Moore's veracity has
never been open to question, and
we would have little to do if we
started in to question ii at this
critical time. So we have in
cluded herewith q picture Of the
First Robin Of 1926, from the
squire's description.

Larry Lehrbas, late of Shanghai

follows:
The Mixed Court In Shanghai Is

ing institutions. II handles all
criminal cases and all petty mis-
follow q hearing on traffic vio-'
Iation, and the murder trial may
precede a disorderIy conduct case.
Because OF the twenty-odd dia-
lects of China, the court main
tains a large number Of inter-

sports of the Shanghai lawbreak-
ers is feigning ignorance OF any

One day a 'rickshaw boy was
brought into court for leaving his
vehicle I'm the middle OF street.
Words addressed to him by the
court brought merely a shake or

Each Of the interpreters tried
his knowledge upon the lad, but
he understood none Of them.
So the case was tried without
the prisoners assistance, and he
was fuond guilty.
