PEACE RUNIORS OF
THE MOMENT

OF former Nazi microphone adjust
er Che always adjusted the mike to
the proper level for Hitler in his
early days. was seen here today
talking with a man in pink whispers,
who was looking at some Christmas
cards. He bought couple of cards
himself in fact. He is the type who
would ordinarily regard this as COM
promising his belligerent back
ground. Something must be up.
-
ISBON.-Reports here by way of
Dresden by way of Persia via Wap-
pingers Falls, N. Y, say that Fritz
Won Piggie is in Switzerland with
peace feelers. This is based largely
on the fact his valise looked larger
than last time. He is known to have
sat at table drawing figures on
tablecloth for almost an hour.
GENEVA.-It is reported here
that Germany wants peace but can't
make up her mind about the length
of the rope.
MADRID. "A Swiss minister
lunched with a friend Of General
Franco here last week. This friend
is known to have another friend
named Schultz. Schultz denotes Ger

for peace in loud voice. The wait

CAIRO.-Reports coming out of a
man coming out of plane coming
out of the Near East Cor maybe it
was the other way around) say that
group of prominent Germans have
organized what is called the CAIBW
Committee to Ascertain If It's Be-
ing Watched).
If it finds it is not being watched
1t is believed it may lead to a meet
ing at which it may be admitted
in strict confidence that Sherman
was right. The stock markets of
the world slumped ten points follow
ing this news.
CHUNGKING.-A persistent story
circulated here is that according to
word from Baden-Baden via Venice
and Cos Cob, Adolf Hitler would con-
sent to peace if he were assured he
could pick his own headstone. He
has now decided on plain shaft
with just the inscription "a. Hitler"
on it, with no mention of Mein
Kampf.
MARSEILLES. - According to a
man who knows a man who knows
gossip columnist in Indo-China,
Marshal Goering has told a few in
innate friends that he will accept
peace the minute he thinks he can
get enough out of it to live on. He
is feeling the effects of war. One of
his chins is missing.
MUSINGS
Whatever became of those Japa-
nese circus performers who wound
up every performance hanging by
teeth or toes, waving the American
flag?
The British were half hour late
going over Berlin the other night,
and half the citizens who own clocks
thought something had gone wrong
with their timepieces.
By Advice of Counsel?
This radio station goes on
and on, sirs,
But isn't responsible for
its sponsors.
1t is proposed to up the telephone
tax to is per cent on all local calls
and to Is per cent on toll line calls.
Even juggling the hook may be
classified as luxury soon.
No Tick
I needed some cuffs on my trousers
But l met with hardy rebuff;
My tailor refused absolutely
To do anything ION the cuff"

Song for the Japanese War Office
What a terrible price for bunk,
What a terrible price for bunk,
What terrible turn
To get kicked in the stern
BY fleet that you said you sunk!

Six feet from the deck
