ing and talking. The talk got
around to automobile accidents,
and the ham had one for that
subject, too. It was only two Sun
days before, he related, that his
car had crashed with another.
"And would you boys believe it,"
he said, during the accident my
mind was q total blank"
A listener yawned.
"We can all understand that"
he said. But what was your alibi
before the accident?"
Racket Flourishes
The years may come and the
years may go, but the CLOSING
Out-Must Sacrifice Everything"
racket seems to go on forever.
Only the other afternoon, I
passed one Of these stores on
Broadway. Lurid signs all over
the place gave out the news that
all goods must be sold at a loss at
once. This was a fire sale. a bank
ruptcy sale, a lease cancellation
sale. Everything had to be sold
Immediately.
And even as the suckers rushed
in and out, q van backed up with
new Storeload Of goods that "had
to be sold at a loSs!"
The story is true, and you can
take Jimmy Gillen's word for it.
Bill and Jack, two racketeers,
were standing in front of one Of
Broadway's better restaurants.
They were chatting affably and,
oddly enough, the conversation
didn't concern larceny in any
form. The two gentlemen were
speaking of self-made men, if you
please, and Of successful people in
general.
Up to the curb drew a shiny
limousine. Out stepped beauti-
full girl and a well-dressed young
man.
Bill nudged Jack and nodded in
the direction Of the dapper young
man.
There you are" he said. '"That
guy Is livin' proof Of what I was
just talkin' about. He's a real
Sef-made success. Why, 10 years
ago he was down on the East Side
clippin' drunks. That's what he
was doin', clippin' drunks. And
look at him now."
"I'm lookin'." said Jack. whats
so wonderful about him?"
Bills eyes opened wide.
whats so wonderful" he re-
peated. why, without help from
nobody, he's the most prosperous
burglar in the city!"

I'VE gotta have a sneak pre-

really got to be q sneak preview.
Where do you fellows suggest we
take the film?"
One chap suggested San Diego;
another was in favor Of a spot to
the North. The president couldn't t
see either place, and they finally
agreed on = little town that was
at least 20 miles south Of no
where. Two nights later, they
all sat in the small theater in the
town in question and watched the
picture being unreeled.
When it was over, the crowd
filed slowly from the theater.
The president was receiving the
customary congratulations when,
to his amaZement, he saw the
head Of a rival independent out
fit emerging from the same spot.
He rushed over to him.
why. Harry" he cried, what
are you doing here?"
Game to see the picture" re
piled the other man.
But this was supposed to be 0
sneak preview," said the first pro
ducer. How did you find out
about it?"
The second man shrugged.
Hard to keep those things
quiet" he announced. II heard
about it-and here I am"
The first producer forced q
grin.
'Wen," he said, "as long as you
attended our sneak preview, what
did you think Of the picture?"
His rival rubbed his chin.
WELL" he returned calmly, "as
long as you ask me, I think you
ought to have a sneak releaSe!". =.

he lowered his voice "Old Gerlick only

knew him. And every time old piece of

stones out after he'd bought the stuf-and
dumping them in that box!

Yeah. And that box of stores looked like a

will be just the thing to put in it. Save me
