Minneapolis, out Fourth avenue way,
it looks like war! What used to be
just one great big happy family, now
is apparently a much-divided family
(And How!) Last summer, there
were cars a-plenty to go riding IN,
there was fun enough for everybody,
and always something to do, but this
summer no one hardly dares to get
into anyone else's automobile for
fear of being snatched out by an
irate girl friend, or boy friend, and
there is too much petty pickering and
uuarreling and wise-cracking going
on for anyone to have a good time,
unless he gets off into corner and
plays a game of solitaire. The whole
summer is going to be ruined for all
concerned if this childish foolishness
keeps up. Personally, don't see why
everyone doesn't bury the Ratchet,
shake hands and try to regain some
of the old comradely spirit. And if
the girls would all keep this thought
in mind; namely, that NO GIRL
CAN TAKE A BOY AWAY FROM
ANY OTHER GIRL UNLESS THE
BOY is WILLING! This idea of
blaming the "other girl" for yanking
your boy friend away from you is as
silly as it is out of date. Tsk, tsk.
The DEBUTANTE invite list
started out very small, but by the
time a few of the ladies got all
their boy friends in, the list had in
creased, and as more boys called for
more gels, more gels were added,
and now the blame thing looks like
q Who's Who of the younger crowd.
Last Sunday night, the two most
unhappy people in the Twin Cities
were WILBUR TURPIN and
CLAUDE BURNAUGH. Wills girl
had thrown him down, and Claude,
for the first time in his life, was
NOT in love with someone, so the
two of them sang a song of blues
that was just too tragic! Love might
make the world go round, but it
makes it pretty miserable, too, Ell?
JACK HARPOLE came home with
BILL THOMAS last week. And the
funniest thing ] have heard in weeks
was Jacks description of a southern
lady telling him how unearthly "con-
ceited" she thought he was!
EARL SHAMWELL is leaving US
soon to return home, and l almost
think he hates to go, by the sad ex-
preston which comes over his face
as he announces the date of his de-
parture. He SEE he will be back
next year, if everything goes off all
right. In fact, he may not even
leave this year, if job is forthcom-
ing. Earl's a good guy, so let's hope
he hangs around awhile. l still say
he is gifted with a colossal ego, but
it doesn't stop me from thinking he
is okay.
And the meanie who stole GER
tain young mans letters from me
last year, has seen fit to return them
through the mail. After wrecking
my nice romance, whoever it was
evidently got conscience stricken
enough to return the letters. Just a
nice, pleasant little trick, 1 call it!
One of my pet peeves is the pest
who refuses to ride in the rumble
seat. Rumble seats were made to
ride in, so what's all the big howl
about?
There are still echoes of Stumble
Inn resounding, for there are still
people saying with mouth agape, 81
don't remember doing THAT"
How are you betting on the BAER-
CARNERA battle? Personally, I
hope Primo walks over, under, and
across Make. In the first place, Car
nera has trained hard and conscien-
tiously, while Baer has been running
around from one hot-spot to another,
getting all tangled up with dizzy
breads, and running off his mouth
about what he is "going to do" I'm
not from Missouri, but that baby
will have to show me he's fighter
and not just a big bag Of wind. He
might have a punch sitter than Car
nera's, but that advantage may not
mean thing, unless he can offset,
with tough training, all the whoopee
he's tackled since his last fight. An
other thing, it's all right for guy
to talk about how good he is if he
has done something to prove it, but
so far Baer has gone in for all talk
ing and very little proving. Or
