who Is going 10 get Into u
peck of trouble some day over
i a street car pass; that Is,
unless some one enlightens him.
He noticed that the pass carried by
his friend when they got on car
together was a different kind. How
come" he asked.
This" the other explained, "is a
s1.25 pass. Yours is only 81 va
riety. The big big difference between
them is that the former entities you
to a seat. You see. If you have a seat
on this car and I should get on and
find none, my pass would entitle me
to demand your seat"
The chap who told it admits that 1t
was his most inspired Lie IN q long
time, but he is hoping to be around
when his friend tries to work his new
s1.25 pass on some 81 pass holder.
It is his idea Of fun.

DATA.
A Nebraskdn recently sent to the
Federal Bureau OF Investigation
this letter:
Haze you pamphlets that gipe
p,arshaPs duties In q small toUn.
Would like some information. Also
,ohere can get q policenldn's
Dhistle? Thank you."
&" A PPEARANCES are deceiWng."
"A This oft-repeated phrase proved
the wisdom Of its originator recently
by the misjudgment Of a washington
man appearing in . hotel dining room
in Richmond.
Four well-dressed men were seated
at a table eating breakfast. One in
particular was attired in such man
ner as to arouse the comments Of
others IN the room. He was "nattily"
robed in dark suit, with a shirt and
tie of rainbow hue. and in his breast
pocket he Haunted an elaborate hand
kerchief which had been arranged to
give the very best effect"
who" q woman nearby asked, "is
the very foppishly dressed playboy
with whom you were just talking"
"Oh, no one but member Of the
homicide squad Of the Washington De-
tective Bureau who has faced rs much
gun fire and returned 1t as any
other man I know" was her COM
panion's reply.
JOKE.
A taxidriver around town Is i'm
pressed these days with the fact that
the White House is q pretty Demo-
cratic institution.
He got the idea from couple he
took to one of the recent teas there.
Just as the cab pulled into the grounds.
the male passenger reached into his
pocket for the fare. He found there
only IS cents, but his companion. he
felt certain. could produce the re-
mainder of the necessary 80 cents.
She couldn't, it turned out. She was
able to dig up a grand total Of only
IL cents.
The driver heard the whole con-
versation, joined in their laughter at
the idea of going to White House
social function in so completely an
impoverished condition, and assured
them it was worth the 3 cents for
the anecdote he could relate to sub
sequent fares.
Every one was very happy.

SPRING.
AN OPERATIVE who always has

sandlot base ball game is deeper and
more varied than that Of any pro-
fessional contest bobs up with what
he insists Is further proof.
The particular dramatic figure In
the game he saw was Q youngster :
years old, who played right field on
. team composed of chaps twice his
size and, perhaps, twice his age. Ball
after ball was driven TO right feld.
The youngster got under most OF
