THAT 1929 AMERICAN CREDO!
 By George Jean Nathan

Refecting more of the mental processes presently on tap in Gods own country:
 That when a substitute for gaso- line will be invented the Rockefel- lers will lose their fortune, and that many substitutes have been invent cd, but the inventors were bought off by the Standard Oil Company. That the medicine didn't work because it wasn't taken exactly &C., cording to directions.
 That one can never beat the horses.
 That the youngsters nowadays know as much as the old folks.
 That any druggist can recom- mend something as good for a cold, a toothache or a headache as a doctor can.
 That when a cop gives one q ticket he is looking for a five-spot | That anybody, if caught young enough, can be taught to draw or | play any musical instrument.
 That a fireman would rather go 1 to a real fire than be fooled by a false alarm.
 That a package of love letters, if got hold of by someone else, always l has monetary value.
 That colored people often get them selves deliberately run over so that they will be taken to the free wards in the hospitals and there get a lot of delicious white meat of chicken free.
 That if most modern housewives lost the can-opener they would be lost
 That rich people never pay any attention to their babies and that the children grow up caring more for their nurses than for theil mothers.
 That boys who work their way through college always do so bl waiting on table, attending furnace! or getting commissions from laun dries.
 That the hooche-coochie is st familiar to the gentlemen of thu Oriental countries that let a gir shake and wiggle herself like noth ing at all and the men will still g their way without so much a vouchsafing her a look!
