NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


about DRINKS. l think these fel-
lsws who imbibed too freely are
deserving Of sympathy and per-
sonally ! feel that l should get a
petition to present to II. II. (His
HONOR for leniency. Now, may
be all wet, as you know the wealth
er this week has been unusually
cold. SO cold in fact until what
was going to tell you this week
froze between between the type
writer keys and the paper l was
attempting to write it on before
sending it to the composing room
so you will have to accept what l
am going to tell you about these
drunks until the office gets warm
enough to thaw out my message.
Now, Us l was saying before
started to ly. i mean before I
made my excuse, in cold weather
alcohol is used quite frequently to
prevent circulation from freezing
and after all, whiskey is nothing
but n solution of alcohol, and no
sensible person wanted to take a
chance On a hard freeze. The wealth
err man said prepare for the worst
and there was nothing to do but
fill yourself with alcohol. And
that is what we sensible people
did. Now, | ask you was it fair
for HH to punish US for trying to
protect our circulating system
from freezing? Now, let me take
the crapshootcrs. they had to do
something to keep the muscles and
limbs from getting stiff during
the cold snap. To supply gas in
the most needed places, the schools
and recreation halls were. closed,
and these poor fellows had moth
ing t, do to keep thcnse elves linz
hered up other than to snap their
wrists and bend their knees. so
why punish them?

Speaking ABOUT the seriousness
of tire war now days it is really
getting serious and the youngsters
are beginning to feel the. urge Of
preparation, even the other day
Messrs. McFarlin and Sharpe dis
covered two youngsters at the
Gem Theatre all ready for the
Japs. they had everything but the
military training, and the officers
thought the youngsters would be
better off with that and they
brought Homer Sutton, 1903 Gain
es and Lucius Mack, ITO State to
see what II. II. thought about it,
and he sent them to the Juvenile
Court for further training.

Pure and unadulterated stealing
seems to be the vogue now. We
found Ester Williams. AIS W. 18th
St, falling right in line, at least,
MeSsrs. Thomas, Peterson and
Shirley did when they intercepted
at 2l5 w. 5th Street, and Ester
must cough up $50 and 30 days,
maybe they can be stolen too.

Not to be outdone was Jno
Page, 1928 f. end, according to
Messrs. Cox and Hays when they
found him over at 1911 f. 7th st.
That guy is doing alright for him
self and was rewarded $40 and GO
days not bal
"What others can do, 80 can l"
seems to be the doctrine Of Char
les Mitchell, 1915 Wright Avenue
! and as witnessed by Messrs. Cou-
sin and Dilbeck the basement at
+ the Archer Drug Co.. wasn't any
too safe when they stopped Nit
chell. $40 and 60 days.
N 1t is pretty tough on man to
come all the way from Chicago
Just to see inside the walls Of our
great protective house, but ac-
cording to these masters Of Mr.
Z Pitcocks bys in blue, McFarlln
and Sharpe they must fly right
or they will clip their wings ard
Horace Butler the man from the
Windy City wasn't doing that
when he met Corine Butler from
a1924 N. Tyler at 9Th and Arch
snd the results were $40 each.

8 Here is a good candidate for the
armed forces, this guy Leroy Bat-
mes 1912 f. dth is ready for ac-
lion and proved IT the other day
when Officers Biggs and Alridee
discovered they had found an
army without a general at 9th and
Springs. sbl 30.
