PASS THE CZARS!

Now czar is proposed for the
taxicab industry. About the only un-
regulated industries remaining are
the 1OO-cup- coffee drinkers and the
marathon dancers. No wonder
this is a revolutionary country-with
so many czars. . A traffic czar
is one of the honking needs of the
country. He could be named "Czar
OF all the Rushers." Then some
reformer probably would want stop
lights placed on the Statue of Lib
erty. The one industry that
needs an iron hand more than any
other is pretty we'll unregulated. That
is the class OF people who write free
for the newspapers poems about
transoceanic flights.
An entirely new and original ques-
ton has just been asked. 1t has to
do with whether or not the tempera-
ture, torridity and heat are sufficient
for ones desires.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE GAMBLE
BY JAM

You can tell about the horses by
their form
And the prices that are posted Joy
the books,
And the veriest beginners often times
can pick the winners
When they've learned to judge a
pony by his looks
have often bet a little at the
track
When painstakingly I'd boned up
on the dope
After several searching glances at q
horse I'll take my chances
But never dare to buy a canta-
loupe.
They are all of them alike-on the
outside,
Which is all that meets at first
the buyers eye
And one seems to sense the savor OF
sunny southern sky.
Which was caught beneath some
a spicy pungent flavor
But at breakfast in the morning he
will find
AS he joyfully anticipates a treat
That instead Of sweet and nutty,
they taste very much like
putty,
For they're usually a vegetable de-
ceit.
You can learn about a woman by
her looks,
You have half a chance to win a
little bet
In select and secret places where fat
men with solemn faces
Turn the spindIes in the pastimc
called roulette.
YOU can gamble on the weather now
and then
And continue, as old Noah did, to
hope,
But it's really quite as risky as to
purchase bootleg whisky
To attempt to learn to judge a
cantalcupe.
They are all of them alluring-in
the store
Where on stands they always
temptingly are placed,
And you hungrily select them, buc
as soon as you bisect them
You discover that they haven't
any taste.
They have beauty, plenty OF it, but
you'll find
That it isn't any deeper than their
skin.
II, like me, you simply love 'em, buy
a half a hundred OF em
And if one should turn out edible
you win!

WASHTNGIONA
LETTEPH EP HS
>AN 81
BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Writer

WASIINGTON.-S of the high
est ranking naval captains who were
passed over recently when the navy
selected II new admirals are probably
wondering why they lost out.
There is one doughty captain, high
up among the leading 80 from whom
adnirals are chosen, who knows very
well why he will have to retire on a
captains pension rather than an ad-
miral's e,
This officer had achieved a bril-
liant and spotless career up to the
recent occasion on which he COM
manded a flotilla which anchored off
the capital of a South American re-
public wherein our country maintains
an embassy and an ambassador.
The ambassador is political ap-
pointee supposed to have been hon
ored in recognition of valiant service
for his party, which, service was not
fully appreciated by the voters of
his state At any rate, he has put
or some very lively parties at the
embassy which have always been ap-
preciated by naval officers, and our
captain. on the occasion in question,
was invited to one as guest of
honor.
For the captain, at least, the func-
tion grew more and more successful.
The ambassador had carefully left his
copy of the Volstead act back home
in the states, and an excellent time
was being had by all, including the
ambassador and the ambassadors S
wife.
Then, in a moment of hilarious
horseplay, the captain overstepped
himself. The exact details may not
be quite clear to him, but it appears
that he gave the ambassadors wife
a playful spank.
The lady herself, it is understood,
took this in good part. But the am
bassador, who observed the incident,
did not.
The ambassador reported the cap
tain to his government in Washington
and the unfortunate officer was
raked over the Goals numerically by
his SuperiorS.
It was the only stain, if it can be
called that, on the captains record,
but when the admirals were picked
the other day our hero was one of
the most conspicuous of those left
unpromoted.
That was costly spank, for under
the naval promotion system all cap
tains who are not made admirals
within a certain time are forced to
retire and make way for others. An
admirals retirement pay is $4,000 a
year and captains retirement pay
is but $4,000.
