and satisfies us because it is typical
Of the enjoyment we often get In
the mere sounds of unknown Ian
guages.
They used to say that German
is the language you speak to your
dog, English what you speak to
your horses. French to your friend
and italian to your sweetheart.
Some languages seem mellifiuous
and some harsh % those who are
accustomed to other rhythms and
cadences.
Jabberwocky offers a purely eu-
phonious enjoyment. 1t is amusing
because ii is ASSOCIATED from the
strict mental limitations of sense,
while offering pleasant sensuality
Like music it tickles our ears.
And now, if you're ready, let's
examine my Illustrations which
now, trust, will have achieved in

NV artist, who paints pictures
with his nose is. however, not a
mere making fun of those insane
painters, cubists. surrealists and
everything. What he stands for is
the desire which impels some per-
sons to do a thing merely because
it is difficult, regardless of any def
mite result It is a bid for public
notice-for the only kind of fame
a person without talent can ever
achieve.
The flagpole-sitter selects that
particular demonstration because
he can't think of anything worth
while to do, but nevertheless has
a craving to be talked about. The
man who engraves the Lords Prayer
on the head of a pin or balances a
pile of two thousand matches on
the neck of a bottle are other ex-
amples of inordinate energy with
out direction.

Political cartoons are. on the surface real
nonsense. Is there anything more ridiculous
than that man should try to ward off 13-inch
shells with an umbrella? And yet that was
what Chamberlain was pictured doing many
times last year.
The basis of nonsense is sense or else IT
isn't amusing Its humor depends upon our
knowledge of facts If it's out of our line OF
experience we don't laugh.
Perhaps the most difficult piece of nom
sense ever written is Lewis CAROLS poem
"Jabberwocky,' in Through the Looking
Glass" You remember it begins like this:
