college Fast will play no football

So if you hear of a fast young

member, Norman Gill is giving YOU
sufficient warning that he'll be a

the forgotten mans mansion. A
butler said that Mr.. Byron wasn't
seeing any one.
THE OLD STUFF
Hell see me-" Charlie said
jauntily. "He promised me a
job"
Didn't you hear the returns?"
asked the butler.
Charlie went out into the chill
afternoon. He knew he'd been a
fool to depend on Byron. He'd
better hurry home and try to get
back his old job. However he
had an important chore undone
in Belle Center. He sat in the
sound truck and pondered on how
to find Rosalie. Finally he de-
c1ded to try fantastic, forlorn
hope.
He bought a record of the song
"Rosalie." Then he cruised the
streets Of Belle Center, with ampli-
fierS blasting out first The Null
berry Bush," then "Rosalie."
Around and around Belle center
went Charlie, the sound truck and
the Mulberry Bush" through resi-
Dental and business districts. So
intent was he on his search that
he remained oblivious to the wave
Of merriment he was causing.
At last, as dusk was falling, one
of the small attendant boys shout
ed: Mister, a girls calling you"
The Washington times., 1939-01-14

His voice was drowned by the
phonograph. A policeman bel.
lowed to move on; Candidate By
ron frowned and beckoned. Rosalie
was gone in the crowd on Main
Street.
There were, Charlie found in
horror, 10000 people in Belle Cen
ter. Some $4,000 had telephones.
After working through the first
five pages of the telephone book
for a Rosalie, he gave up. The tel
ephone was probably in her par
ents' name, She didn't look like
an orphan.
Charlie spent election night lis
tening to returns on the public
square, and again watching the
crowd. BY midnight two things
happened. Rosalie did not appear,
and Byron conceded defeat. In
fact, Byron was Shellacked, white
washed, showed under.
To Charlie it meant there went
his job as boss in a garage, but
he'd take the smaller job Byron
had promised. Any job in Belle
Center looked good to him. He
visioned a rapturous future, when
Rosalie came into the garage to
get her old car fixed, and said:
rs it really you?" The future
went on via a wedding march, to
a vine-clad cottage.
Charlie gave Byron until noon
next day to recover; then he
marched jauntily up the steps Of
The Washington times., 1939-01-14
SOUND WAGON

thought he might be able to save
money for the State.
So, in the bright autumn, Char
lie set forth with the sound
wagon, a snappy new rented car,
equipped with a phonograph and
amplifiers. The phonograph rec
or,1S adjured the public to come to
and to vote for Byron, the peoples
pal. There was one record of a
booming Byron speech.
But Charles faVorite was one
in which a voice sang Justify:
Stop beating round the null
berry bush,
Come out and vote to elect me.
He paraded the streets of the
various towns on the day before
a rally, broadcasting his pleas.
Sometimes he played the "Mul-
berry Bush" record when he was
merely driving on the open road
from one town to another. He
was playing it the day he drove
toward Belle Center, where Byron
was holding final rally on cleo
ton eve.
He wished that he could find
the girl to whom he could sing
it. Then, rounding a corner at
60 miles per, the minute he had
long expected was upon him. He
knew she was the girl, partly be-
cause she was slim without be-
ing anemic. and partly because
she was sitting quietly on the
running board of her stalled car
instead of making futile efforts

to tinker with the engine, as some
women do.
A DIAGNOSIS
He stopped the sound wagon.
Whats Wrong?" he h out d
above it.
Il don't know, but it sounds
like double pneumonia, she said.
Bearings" he said. And I
haven't a tow rope. Can I give
you lift to a garage?"
There isn't good garage this
side of Belle Center" she told
him forlornly.
Good" he cried. That's 10
miles away"
And thus they came upon the
limousine in which rode Candidate
Bryon. There was no escape, for
both cars were caught by red
light.
What's wrong with the sound
apparatuS?" demanded the candi-
date.
SEARCH IS ON
Nothing. I'm just about to
turn it on" said Charlie.
do it at once, and follow me-"
Charlie switched on the phono-
graph. When he turned back the
girl had gotten out.
Thanks a million" she said.
Whats your name?" he yelled
above the Mulberry Bush"
"RoSalN!"
"Rosalie What?"
