Another Victim

I am reminded of the fact
that even such a wise gentle
man as John Sideri, my barber,
was a victim of a recent touch.
Handsome" John, as the boys
all call him, is the only barber
in the world who shaves with a
scissors and cuts hair with a
razor.
The clip was most unfortunate
because Handsome" John has
just gone into business for him
self after working for 35 years
for Sunny Jim" Spinrad. John
tearfully unfolded the story to
me the other afternoon during
one of his famous Commute
shaves, 10 minutes about the
stock market, 20 minutes about
his nine children, 27 minutes
about Mussolini, and three min
utes for the shave.
I am unable to report the
racket in detail because, when
John starts to tell a story, he
always tells eight or nine others
at the same time. So all I gath
cred was that he ordered a pair
of shoes through a salesman
for a mail order house in Brock
ton, Mass. He gave the sales
man, of course, a small deposit.
In due time, the shoes arrived
and were carried into Johns
shop at Forty-seventh Street
and Broadway by two or three
strong men. John paid for the
shoes right then and there, and
the men walked out. And that
was more than John was able to

The girl, reports Doug Whit
ney, lived in Kansas City. She
was a cute-looking monkey, and
had been badly bitten by the
movie bug. She had just about
made up her mind to blow the
old homestead and hit for Holly
wood when she fell in love with
a boy.
The boy was a quiet young
ster, but his heart became
roller coaster the first time he
saw the girl. In short, they
were both gone when they
hadn't known each other more
than a week. Suddenly, with
out a word to the boy about her
plans, the girl hoped a train
for the Coast.
For Arts Sake
In other words, she had
made up her mind that her
career was more important
that her heart, or some such
nonsense that always looks
good in print but never quite
works out in real life. She
didn't know a soul in Holly
wood, but she felt that true
art and beauty would always
conquer.
After a few weeks in the
land where men are mama,
baby face was down to her
last few bucks. She had yet
to meet her first important
person, and it began to look
as though job as a waitress
was the next stop. She missed
the boy friend more and more,
and she finally wrote to him
one night because she was
horribly lonesome.
What she told him in that
letter was strictly a dream.
She was under contract to
Metro, she said, and every
director in the outfit 7as beg
ging to be allowed to work
with her. Photographers and
autograph hunters were chas-
ing her all over town, and it
looked as though she was go
ing to be one of Hollywood's
biggest stars in almost no time.
The boy received the letter,
and being very much in love,
also went to the Coast, where
he had relatives. He phoned
.-er as soon as he was settled
in his cousins home, con-
graduated her on her success
and told her he ould see
her the following day. She
insisted that he come over
Immediately.
But 1 can't honey" he
pleaded. II just got here and
I can't insult my cousin"
"Oh, is that SOP" she cried.
80 your cousin is more i'm
portant than I, is he? May I
ask who he is?"
The boys answer was semi
apologetic.

Best Remedy for
Cough Is Easily
Mixed at Home
Saves 50. So Easyl No Cooking!

You'll never know how quickly a
stubborn cough can be conquered, I'M
til you try this famous recipe. 1t is
used in more homes than any other
cough remedy, because it gives more
prompt, positive relief. It's no trouble
at all to mix and costs but a trifle.
Into a pint bottle, pour 212 ounces
of Pinex; then add granulated sugar
syrup to make a full pint. Syrup is
easily made with cups of sugar and
one cup of water, stirred a few mo-
ments until dissolved. No cooking
needed. This saves two-thirds of the
money usually spent for cough medi-
cine, and gives you a purer, better
remedy. 1t never spoils, and tastes fine
Instantly you feel its penetrating eff
feet. 1t loosens the germ-laden phlegm,
clears the air passages, and sOotheS
and heals the inflamed membranes. This
three-fold action explains why it brings
such quick relief in severe coughs.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, used for gem
erations for its healing effect on throat
membranes. 1t is guaranteed to give
prompt relief or money refunded.
