FAMOUS FABLES

VAC ION: Charles
Chaplin, city editor of the old
New York World, was an
irascible tyrant who kept his
staff in a constant state of
tension.
At one time, he took i'll
and was away from the office
for a week. When he re-
turned, one Of the reporters
asked him for a weeks vaca-
ton, Chaplin exploded.

for you?"
EDITORS: HumoriSt John
Kendrick Bangs was at one
time the editor Of a maga-
zine which was stepped in
tradition. On the mantel-
piece in Bangs sanctum,
there were two urns, contain

One day, when a friend
came to see Bangs, he found
him working over a Stagger-

the friend. rs there a short

The headwaiter was a wor-

Henri. He had little white
wings in his dark hair, and
people liked him. He was a
horse player and he was al
ways in debt, so it was diff
cult for him when Sam let

in-law a job. Sam was tired
OF supporting his married
sister.
Once in a while, Sam gave
an unknown a chance. When
this happened, he signed
himself as manager, and took
so per cent.

Give Them What They Want .

Sam ran a New York night
club and he took the CUSTOM
ers as well as the employees
for every dollar he could get.
He ran three shows q night,
and had a good-looking
chorus line. "Give the people
what they want" he used to
growl, land they'll flock to
see it." Sam always had a
fading headliner to draw the
customers, also a good young
male singer, and a dizzy
comedian or a dance act.
Sam gave the people what
they wanted, and they lined

fleeced.

queues, a bald little man with
a big roaring voice. If they

is well liked, but has never
dated very much. Many of
my friends have shown an in
terest in her and have tried
to introduce eligible men to
her.
1t never occurred to me
that Lee would consider this
an insult. But one day last
week she said she was being
treated cruelty and mali
ciously by all of us. This is
nonsense. How can I con-
vince her?
LeOna P.-I just got fed up
with all this talk Why
aren't you married yet?" I
told my sister what is on my
mind-and it's not nonsense!
People who bait unmarried
people are sore because they
can no longer be free and
independent. I have an ex-
cellent job and my own car,
I take a winter and summer
vacation every year and have
a marevolus time. Many of
girls I went to high school
with are tied down with four
and five kids and look like
middle-aged hagS.
Yet these very same women
say to me with a sneer. You
aren't planning to remain
single all your life, are you?
You'd better find someone

they send around some creep.

MAKING a long g-distance
diagnosis is potentially dan
gerous. Therefore, I make it
a point never to do so. How
ever, I can suggest a course
of action. With symptoms
like yours I would want to
rule out the possibility of
Raynaud's Disease. This is a
condition in which there is
a vaso-spasm (constriction)
of the arteries. 1t usually af-
fects women between Is and
80.
Your doctor might wish to
consult with an internist re-
garding diagnosis and treat
ment. Some medical men at
tribute the condition to q
psychological derangement.
Treatment consists of vaso-
dilator drugs and personality
readjustment. Operation
sometimes is helpful.

One night Sam was in his

going over his books and he
had only about ten minutes

Sans head fell on the blot

The newspapers gave Sam
quite a play because he was
a well-known club owner. A
few old-time stars were
quoted as saying that Sam
was the last of the old Pro-
hibition barons and would
be missed. Like Prohibition,
perhaps.
THE BIG SURPRISE was
that so many people were
present at the funeral.
Everyone was there, includ-
ing the stout woman who
had been fired, and Henri,
the headwaiter. The stout
woman looked at the crowd.

Mr.. J. r. H. of Phoenix,

why:

vision addict. Even if I take
her out for an evening she
cannot wait to get home to

Sometimes I can sleep

New York is threatened with
the possibility of another news

Federal mediators launched a
final effort to avert a midnight
strike of truck drivers and
other deliverers.
Talks between the Newspaper
and Mail Deliverers Union and
the city's major newspaper

both sides met with mediators
for almost Is hours yesterday
and last night.
The union said its 3,068 mem
bers on nine metropolitan
dailies would walk out If the
deadline passed without q sat-

union is seeking a 50 wage in
crease over two years-$5 the
first and 81 the secondhand
other improvements. including
reduction of the work week
from the present Sta hours to
IS.
The deliverers now receive
about $109 a week.
A spokesman for the New
York City Publishers Associa-
ton said no specific money
proposal had been made by the
newspapers.

newspapers were shut down for
