/ shoulders in sandwich fashion.
Sometimes they are less than two
feet apart. And if the stroller,
for some unknown reason, wishes
to read the signs, he has to be
very quick about it.
The signs are all along similar
lines. You are asked not to pat
ronize the Catch-Em-Quick Thea
ter or the Sunshine Beanery be-
cause those establishments are be-
ing unfair to some labor union or
other. I doubt very much If this
picketing does any good whatSo-
ever, especially on a busy avenue.
To me it's a Senseless form Of an
noyance. But I suppose the
unions know what they're doing
and they haven't been doing
badly.
Some day, if I get around to it,
I'm going to do a revue Skit in
which eight Of these pickets walk
before a drop with eight stores
printed on it. They walk up and
down and discuss the situation.
Another man with a huge sand
wich sign steps out and PAGES

them. His sign will read:

Other Signs. They Have been
Painted by Sign Makers Unfair to

Before George could say any

"And how about me?" he ques-

you do then?"
The Jap shook his head.

Once again there were two dere-
licts, and they walked down
Broadway from 47th to 46th
Street. When I say derelicts I am
flattering them. Because never
in my career have seen two birds
who were dirtier or more I'M
kempt.
The buns who are made up by
motion picture experts had less
than nothing on these two. They
wore no hats and their trousers
were a mass of patches. Neither
man had troubled to shave in at
least two weeks and their shoes
were held to their feet by ordinary
cords. All in all, they would have
been two charming gentlemen to
bring home to mother.
AS they walked down the block
and the paSserby moved aside
to give them plenty of room-the
two were evidently arguing about
something. When they reached
the corner of 10th Street they
stopped for a moment.
The first bum stepped back a
pace and surveyed his dirty COM
panion from head to foot. Then
he spoke loudly:
"You say that to mel" he cried.

COLD WAVE BRINGS ZERO TEN.
PERATURES

The mild weather of last week
was put to fight on Monday when a
bowling northwest wind that began
in the early morning hours and
ragged all day sent the mercury
tumbling from around the ffty-six
degree mark to zero within. a few
hours.
The change was as sudden as it
was decided and stoves and furnaces
were called on to do their very best
in the heating line.
Motorists by the score, luAed into
carelessness by a week of mild
weather, were caught unaware, and
their troubles were legion. Frozen
pipes, too, caused many household
untold worry.
The severe weather continued
through Monday and Tuesday, but
Wednesday brought more normal
temperature.
