cinate mixed audiences with the raperke quality of

by Robert E. Sherwood in the Rotaran Magazine,
offered:
Don't ever start off any story with the intro
duction. Tt seems
Don't ever confess that you are reminded Of an
anecdote-'
"Dont ever explain beforehand that the joke you
about to tell is funny. That is contention which
is always extremely hard to prove.
Don't ever repeat a nifty that you heard in
musical revue It's presence there guarantee OF it's
age.
"Don't ever tell dialect STORIES
"Don't ever assume that joke which has been
told effectively by Irwin S. Cobb will sound funny
when recounted by you mans joke, like his tooth
brush, is his own exclusive property.
"Don't ever follow up humorous climax by dig
ging your victim in the ribs.
"And above all things
"Don't ever preface your remarks with Stop me
if you've heard this one It is utter waste OF words

ers have heard that one, and (b) because they all
know perfectly well that it would be useless for them
to say so The persistent jokerteller will never be

The Regulation Of Gambling

The local public prints the other day carried bit
of news which seems to call for some elucidation
From it, We gathered that REGULATION was being
attempted of the gambling industry in Phoenix but
by whom was not stated nor was the authority on
which the REGULATION" proclaimed divulged
Nothing said about the regulation of homicide,
pocketpickng, any other activities forbid
den by the statutes
It may be said of the announced Regulation"
that it is not stringent one It only required that
gambling in Phoenix must be "covered up, that it
shall be conducted only in easements and in upper
floors of buildings where it will not be witnessed
by children and persons to whom gambling is often
sive.

Clean The Sidewalks!

A visitor in Nogaes yesterday said this city has
the dirtest sidewalks he ever saw
Whether they are the filthiest in all the world we
do not kno wbut we do know there is plenty of room
for complaint.
We understand there is a city ordinance COM
pelng all business houses to keep their sidewalks
clean.
Chief of Police George Parker should see to it
that this ordinance enforced Sidewalks should be
swept several times daily, if necessary and should
occasionally be washed thoroughly.
From on until next spring Nogales will be
visited by hundreds of tourists who will flock to Tue
son, Phoenix the guest ranches and other parts of
the state for the winter. Dirty sidewalks will not

The last meeting of the North

before the bonus payment, was
held Wednesday at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Curry, 1886 Fifth
Avenue S., Minneapolis. AS not

topic of discussion. Both the men
and women of the Alliance conferred
interest in the forthcoming annual
picnic to be given this year at

This event forms an important
summer diversion for the socialites
of the Twin Cities and promises
this year to be larger than ever.
Members of the Alliance will have
invitations in unlimited number to
pass out to friends.

credit is due to Mrs. Maud Canty,
Mrs. Marguerite Washington, Mrs.

service. In the evening Miss Elsie

The Twins Hear
Reports From
Public Health

The Twin City Health committee
met at Phyllis Wheatley Tuesday
night in what was intended to be
its closing session. Developments
of the meeting will likely lead to
other meetings. 1t may even be
that the long hoped for year round
activity of the organization may
emerge. A full report of the work
done by the st. Paul Twin was
given; the lack of such report from
Minneapolis necessitated at least
one more meeting. However, it
was clear that the Minneapolis
membership has functioned even
better than in other years and
especially in its Lawns and Gar
dens Contest, is presenting some
new and effective measures for in
creasing public understanding and
cooperation. Finances were re-
ported in better than the usual con-
dition. A full report for the Ma
tional office and for local distribu-
ton is ordered and will be ready
before the next meeting to be held
at the close of the lawn and gar
den contest,
