Depression Felt

The amusement park business
is feeling the depression but like
everybody else is looking for bet
ter days. They note the tight
ness in currency around Govern
ment pay days with fewer and
fewer big bills being changed
However, Glen Echo was the only
amusement park to make money
in 1881, is pointed for a dividend
in 1882, so it might be worse.
''This," I suggested to Manager
Schloss, would be a swell place

chieftain. II am not against

So I piled into the coupe after

is that Glen Echo is a resori

"And they walked on Out?"
Can't Stump Mark

Dear H ellinger::" :" writes
George H. Glassman, of Chi
cago, II have been reading
your stuff for some time and
have had a great deal Of
pleasure in seeing you wriggle
out of the tight spots, one way
or another, in which you seem
to get yourself from time to
time. ...
Occasionally I get the urge
to write to you, but in the past
I have been able to suppress
the urge by promising myself
that in the near future I would
be able to corner you in such
a manner that there could be
no escape. I have been like a
cat at a mouse hole, hungry to
read every word of your col
umn in an effort to get some
thing on you.
"The day has arrived, Mark.
I respect your ability but I do
not think there's any escape
from this one:
In the first paragraph Of
your column on the Sharkey-
Schmeling fight, you speak Of
that well-known APPLE I sup
pose you refer to Adam in the
Garden Of Eden. If I am cor
rect in my assumption, will you
please explain upon what facts
you base your statement that
the forbidden fruit was an
apple?"
Very simple, Mr.. GlaSSman.
The full facts are reported in
the first issue of the Paradise
Gazette under the headline Of
S'LulIaby Of the Leaves" 1t
seems that Adam, after taking
the first bite, turned to Eve
and said: Honey, you remind
me Of this fruit. You're both
pippins."
