boys about the tops, radio parts,
frogs, rabbits feet and other tas-
cinoting articles boys pack their

Merit time mother mentions it.

OVERSIGHT.
THIS business of casually forgetting
TO tell the other fellow what goe
on causes lot of unnecessary vorr,
around offices, homes and. well, every
where. But the failing isn't Away
an individual one. sometimes it at
tacks a whole city.
There's the case of the airline pilo
who got slightly lost above the cloud
on his regular run not so long back

runways. Uniontown, he knew, hat
no airport, so he crossed his finger
and went on, knowing not where HI

about the whole thing.
Then couple Of days later he wa!
in the operations Office when anothe,
pilot came in.
Hey" asked the other pilot, what
that town with the brand-new airpor
over where Uniontown ought to be?'
"Uniontown," said the operations
man calmly.
Seems they built a new airport a

airline about it.

joint vacation this year.
Last year the girls went travelling
Because they went alone and because
the route they planned covered somt
pretty lonely roads they decided t.
take small pistol along. How they
took it is revealed in the conversation
they report having as they nearec
home after the trip.
Where's the pistol, Jane?" Louis,
asked casually.
MY gosh, it's in the suitcase" Jan,
gasped.
Where's the suitcase?"
I'm the rumble seat"
OF course the suitcase was locket
and the rumble seat was locked
Would the big, bad robber please wal
until the girls can get to their de-
tense?
BALANCE.
Riding Downtown on a bus tho
other day, Eleanor B. Fits of
CheDy Chase, Nd, suddenly
thought she had pakened up in
Pdgo-Pago, or wherever it is they
do things like she sam. She looked
up out of the bus window and there
,Das a neusboy calmly striding
along the street. NTH his bundle of
papers balanced on his head.
That Wasn't so bad One ne1Ds-
boy who carried his papers on his
head might be explained. But
further on doWn the street 1Uere
t1Co more boys. One Wds carrying
his papers in the normal manner,
but the other had a stack OF late
editions balanced atop his pate.
And to top it OF he walked along
reading a paper, paying no dtten-
ton to the load on his head.
