It seems that Nye has some
competition now in telling
stories. Harry of the millwrights
is sure giving out with some.
Maybe we ought to have con-
test between the two and find
out which is the champ. How
about it boys?
Al Jankowski seems to be
having trouble with the water
pump at his new place. He
claims it's the pump, but we all
agree that if he would have
taken some of the fellows advice
in installing it, he wouldn't have
any trouble getting water. May
be he'll listen the next time
How about it Al?
I'd like to let the fellows
know that beside hand-ball at
the Y. M. c. A., they have all
other sports. They have a good
coach for basketball and l know
some good teams can be picked
out. He is very good at coach
ing and l know he would appre-
ciate it if the fellows really
came down to try out. They also
have some good swimming in
structor& You can also sign
up YOUR little boys and they
will be we'll taken care of. They
teach them good sportsmanshlp
and how to get the best out of
everything.
Say, who is the fellow in the
machine shop who buys a GER
tain foreman coke once in a
while, and then claims he lost
bet. We won't mention names,
but maybe Gale can shed some
light on it.
Well, it seems Nye from the
Motor Repair Department has a
new invention on hand. It's a
fish scaler and skinner COM
bined. Anyone interested in
knowing how it works, just con-
tact Nye. He's willing to ex-
plain all about it.
Certain fellows can really go
around and talk a good bowling
game. But when asked to roll
a few games with bets on the
side, they really have some good
excuses. Maybe they will run
out of excuses some day and
really get together.

Shari Lynn lay on her back, a
weird, tragic figure in death. Her
head was half under the table, as
she had fallen, but not too far un-
der to hide the staring eyes and the
look of surprise and terror on her
face. The patent artifice of her
dyed hair accentuated more than
ever her age and dissipation.
McCale's eyes were grim as he
noted the neat round hole in her
chest, the pool of dark blood that
had spilled down her side, saturat-
ing her gown, soaking the carpet.
His eyes swiveled around and
away from this horrid grotesquerie
