Now, If you really are looking for
trouble and you don't want TO miss
Just drop down to the nearest native
village some evening. The places are
lousy with fat little AIMS sitting
around waiting for you with their
bellies full Of germs. They stock up
on Malaria bugs from the home
town boys and gals, and when they
find q nice new sucker they give him
the works If there wasn't enough
trouble waiting for you there already
good old ANN would take care Of
you and make sure you got flxed up
flne-for keeps.
IF ANN GETS YOU -.
The Medical Corps can help you
recover II you get plugged, so report
yourself In II you get a headache,
chills and fever.
Don't forget this: You can't get
Malaria unless Ann plugs you, but
II she does, she can make you just
as dead as a shall can, or lay you
out fiat for q nice, long stretch.
Never give Ann a break. She'll bat
you down and 1t won't be funny.

When she picks on victim who's
full Of malaria germs, up come the
germs right into AIMS nice warm
rumble seat where she gives them a
free ride and they get together and
make little germs plenty.
BY and by, Ann wants just an
other little drink, and off she goes
looking for a sap who hasn't got
sense enough to protect himself.
When she finds him down goes
her schnozzle for more BLOOD, and
those new little germs climb down
the drain pipe and into the poor
guy who doesn't know 1t then, but
who Is going to feel awful In about
eight to fourteen days because
he's going to have Malaria.
WHAT TO DO ABOUT ANN
Never give her break. She can
make you feel like combination
Of forest fire, January blizzard,
and an old dish mop. She will leave
you with about as much pep as a
sack Of wet sand, and now and then
she can knock you fiat for keeps.

Radio, almost every day, offers
some tangible disproof Of one OF
the theater'S most pessimistic le-

vaudeville is dead.
Vaudeville will never be dead as

his verbal capers-marked by the
same kind Of surefire, black-out
humor Edgar Bergen favored for
personal appearance acts way back
in the pairs pre-radio days.
Vaudeville will never be dead as
long as Judy Canova, wearing pig
tails and diversified shoes, continues
to broadcast in the regalia and the
manner that made her famous on
theater stages throughout the South.
Vaudeville will never be dead as
long as the Great Gildersleeve can
deliver situation comedy typical
Of radio but punched up with the
kind of taglines that made his old
time blackface act q legend in the
small-time theater circuits of
Southern California.

alive through radio too, and Oracle
