"Whereupon MAZDA went to
Joey and appealed to him.
Pm not calling you down,
joey" he said. We've been
good pals and I know that,
when you're in love with a
dame, you want to be with her
as much as possible. But I
wish you'd have a little consid-
Grafton for me.
"I was given a final warn
ing this morning. If you keep
lodging away from work to
meet Margie, I'm going to get
fired for my inability to handle
men. Let's stay pals, Joey. But
give me little break, will you?'
The other man was very re-
pentant. Never again, he said,
would he put his friend in such
q spot. He was through seeing
Margie during working hours.
Why, if NADIA was fired because
of him, joey would never for
give himself. And so on and
so forth.
His promise held good-for
two days. After that, he was
caught in several parts of the
park by different officials, pet
ting Margie. Joey was, I mean
not the officials.

season by that time, however.

A Little Irony
The local paper in this
section runs weekly Auction
Bridge contest. InaSmuch as
NADIA was now among the
ranks of the great unemployed
and had plenty of time on his
hands, he entered the contest
this week. And what is more,
he won it.
"When it came time to re-
ceive his prize money, he was
handed a So book of tickets
that were good for any ride
in the amusement park in
which he had worked SO lOng!"

who had established quite a

them into stars, had been keep

Fell Hard for Her

BE that as 1t may-never-
theleSs, however, and how have
you been-Joey, the assistant,
fell rather hard for one of the
girls whom we will call Margie.
Love being what it is, if I'm
not too insulting, it turned out
that every time Margie got a
relief, joey also went off duty.
Which meant that joey was
absent from his device far too
frequently to please anyone but
Margie.
"Mada hated to say anything
to joey. He appreciated the
beauty of a glowing love and
he had no desire to interfere.
More, he had worked on equal
terms with Joey on several
previous jobs and he did not
want to display his sudden au-
thority. So he just let the mat
ter slide until his superior Of
ficer noticed the frequency
with which joey left his work.
Then it was MAZDA who got
the call down.. He was told in
no uncertain terms that the
practice must be stopped. He
took it-but he said nothing to
joey. Maybe he figured that
no romance in an amusement
park could last more than a few
weeks anyhow, and that Joey
would soon stick to the job Of
his own volition.
Another week went by and
NADIA received a final warning.
IF you cannot manage your
men, he was told, well have to
get some one who can. Joey is
working for you. It is up to
you either to handle him or to
fire him. See that you do
either one immediately
The Washington times., 1932-08-17

Okay, Mark. Shortly after
our hero began working for
the park, his ability was rec
ogniZed and he was given a
managerial position on one Of
the many devices. The follow
ing year he was handed a
similar position on a larger
ride with a corresponding in
crease in salary.
1--WE skip a couple of years
now and coast to May /, 1881.
That day finds MAZDA manag-
ing a big device and joey, a
very good friend of his, work
ing as his assistant. Now, in
order for you to get the COM
plete drift of this, 1 must tell
you at this point that the
state compels amusement
parks to give their women en-
ployes relief periods during the
day and night that average
about twenty minutes every
two hours or so. In addition,
let me tell you that this par
ticular park is run on a very
strict disciplinary basis that
prohibits the intermingling of
men and women employees dur

discovering in his utterance that which
is wholly different from what the morn

were reminded in our reverle that

things get better. <
VIII you please answer and let me
know If it is needed? Although 1t is
not much. I will send it to you at
once.
Mr. Thompson in Philadelphia is now
the recipient of the following letter
from the Secretary:
I acknowledge receipt of your kind
letter of April 3, 1882, in which you
offer to lend to the Government, with
out interest and for an indefinite period,
the sum of 81. 900 which you have saved
from monthly war risk insurance pay
ments of $3.50 received by you as the
beneficiary of an only son who was
killed in the World War.
There Is no law which will permit
the Secretary of the Treasury to borrow
funds in the manner which you suggest,
and, therefore, 1 am unable to accept
your generous offer.
1 find difficulty in expressing in ade-
quate terms the Governments deep
appreciation of the splendid spirit of
patriotism which has prompted your
proposal. You have already made a
supreme sacrifice in giving to your
country the life of an only son. and
this additional evidence of your pa
triotism is a magnificent example of
that kind of public spirit in the citizen
that enables a nation to overcome all
difficulties and makes it a great nation.
And so the matter is ended, but not
without undying credit to the Philadel-
phian who, of his own volition, made the
offer of his entire savings to his coun-
try. Would that there were more men
of his caliber: men who seek to aid
instead of forever declaiming about
what their country should do for them.
