HI take 0er DfuSm uuu put
I vistle as I 60 to work
Und slop der paste around;
It Is q real gOot Nazi dream ..s
Until l hit der gr0undt!
I'm fixing borders" all der day
Der old wallpaper kind
Ven I wake up und look ab0udt
It wrecks mein peace Of mind.
l gif no orders-none at all;
Folks gif dem all, you see;
Nop0ddy gifts me damn salutes-
Der are no hells for me;
Und den mein dream goes mp In
SchmOke
Oudt goes der brush und pot
Und 1 am Fuehrer Hitler in
Full uniform, py Colt!
WOMEN, ARISE!
Mrs. Elmer Twitchell is out with
a demand for a Fifth Freedom. She
wants Freedom From Returning
Bottles.
eff there is one thing the women
of America are sick Of" she writes,
sit is returning bottles. It is getting
worse and worse every minute.
Once upon time it applied only
to milk bottles, but today the Pay
a-Deposit-and-R Return the Bottle nui-
sance has become epidemic. l have
figured it out and I think two-thirds
of housewives time is spent saving
bottles, finding something to put
them in and remembering to tote
hem back. It's awful"
"Aren't you exaggerating?" asked
Elmer.
NO." insisted Mrs. Twitchell.
"What do men know about it? When
did you ever return a bottle? If
we women left it to the men not
bottle would ever be taken back and
the deposit reclaimed"
"Oh, often take them back" ar
gued Elmer.
"Twice in eight months, if ! re-
member correctly" said the wife.
Everything from a demi-tasse pill
bottle to a soda pop, beer and mar
aschino cherry bottle has to be care
fully kept, slowed and then carted
back. When I drive the flivver to
the market it sounds as if a crock
cry store was moving and I was
carrying two loads. It's a major
job remembering what bottles 60 to
which stores.
Sand you should see the faces on
the storekeepers when they see me
coming in with empties. They've
got troubles enough without check
ing my returns, and they show it,
$50 what?" asked Elmer.
$50, how about arousing the wom-
en- of America to a revolt or some
thing? I'm starting drive. I think
I'll found an organization to be
known as the American Women's
League for Fewer Deposits on Bot
ties"
"Can I help?" asked Elmer.
"Yes," replied Mrs. Twitchell.
"Take back those two baskets Of
empties down by the furnace. I've
been trying to think of it for a.
week"
A candy magnate has bought the
Blue Network for eight million dol
lars. And yet there are people who
still 60 ON insisting that all candy
does to fellow is to increase his
weight.
OF all the thrills that come
through purchases, the acquisition Of
o great radio chain must be close
to tops. What sensations must come
to a man as he planks down check
and realizes all the power, prestige,
influence, opportunity and fun he
has bought, with all those common
tators, quiz kids, masters Of cere-
monies and bazzoO players thrown
in!
What emotions he must feel as he
realizes that he has signed q check
and that in return he owns all those
time signals! All those theme songs!
An those sound effects (particularly
the hoofbeats)! All those mikes,
amplifiers and gadgets!
Sue Denton sent in from New Ro-
chelle q reminder Of bygone days
that should bring a sigh from an
Americans. It Is this note from q
paper during the Cleveland admin
istration:
''The tax Of per cent on incomes
exceeding $4,000 was set aside to-
day a. unconstitutional"
Germans cannot understand how
