Hello Folks:

I10uO II OIhos
Well, what would we do with
out the eavesdroppers? If they
don't hear any good Of themselves
they hear plenty about other peo-
pie and that's what we are look
ing for. So, here is some caves
dropping on a conversation be-
tween RACHEL JAMES and
EARL SHAMWELL - Rachel:
earl, do you like to dancer"
Earl: 'I'll say I do; that's my
favorite recreation - er-er-danc-
ing" Rachel: "Well, tell me, what
is it you enjoy most-the music or
the actual dancing?" Earl: "Speak-
ing confdentially, Racine, my pal,
it's neither; it's just-well, it's just
that I get a chance to enfold some
luscious creature in my arms whom
otherwise I couldn't touch with
ten-foot pole" Do you all agree
with him?
Conversation heard at the Mickey
House last Sunday night. Another
eavesdropping case. (This wasn't
told to me I only heard)-Charac-
tiers: Two Twin Cities Sweeties
and the Twin City Cat. He: "My,
my (ahem, ahem), that's a sharp
hat you have on" She (stammer,
blush): "Do you really think so?
It's the latest Wallis Simpson hat"
Zone of my cousins from Boston
sent it to me-" He: "My, it's a
pip" "Gee, I bet it cost pulenty."
"Of course, you know, Hon, after
we are married I couldn't afford
anything like that" She: ooh, L"
(then rudely interrupted by the en-
trance of the Cat wearing hat the
same as our heroine's Wallis
Simpson hat from Boston,. The
Cat: ooh, tee hee, if this isn't
coincidence" "We've got hats just
alike" "Where did you get yours,
old dear?" She: IT =" The Cat:
ooh! never mind, I know you got
yours where I got mine-at Wool

didn't mean to lie to you" He:
"Never mind, honey" "I knew

C.. C.. B.-I am worried about
my health and I want to know if I
will get well without going to the
hospital?
Ans.-Leave this decision up to

J. X.-I have been reading your

who my wife is going around

Ans.-NO one. She loves you
just as much as she ever did but
the same old routine gets on her
nerves and she wants to do some
thing different. Why not take a
more active interest in planning
things of interest for her! Take
her out more often. The change
will help.
B. M.-Would I do right by
listening to my friend or should I
carry out the plans that I have in

you a lot and I suggest that you
take the one you have planned if
you can arrange it. Your friend

you up for a few weeks and he

If he had handled the sit-down situation strongly and firmly, all the sit-down strikes would have burst like pricked bubbles" said Booth.
 When he left Detroit, Booth said, the strike turmoil appeared to have lsubsided. However, he expressed grave fears of the closed shop" for editorial employees, proposed by the American Newspaper Guild, which recently become affiliated with John L. Lewis CIO organization. No Closed Shop"
