"Why are you always late for breakfast?" a father asked his little son.

"Because I sleep so` slowly," the boy replied.

"Tis said that at Tristan da Cunha They shanghaied a man in a schuna

And dropped him at sea,

For the gentleman, he

Showed signs of becoming a crúnha."

"His Lady Flu”

A Bunch of germs were whooping

it up,

In a bronchial saloon.'

Two bugs on the edge of the

larynx.

Where jazzing a rag-time tune.

Back of the teeth in a solo game

.

Sat dangerous ach-ker-choo;

And watching his pulse was his

light of love,

The lady well known as Flu.

-Oklahoma "Powwow."

Husband: I am out of work, and cannot afford to quarrel with anyone other than my wife.

Wife: My neighbour obstruct- ed me in the execution of

my duty. I was locking my husband out for the night.

Solicitor at Highgate: At what time were you arrested?

Man: am not sure, but they

Newspaper Work

There was an exciting smash- and-grab raid at lunch time in Trafalgar Square the other day. With thousands pouring, along the pavements, a man threw a hammer through a jeweller's with & _window__and__ bolted

tray of rings. In a moment · typists, office boys and newspa- per sellers were in full persuit but it was the traffic cop on point duty near Admiralty Arch. who brought the thief down with a neat flying tackle..

A girl dashed into a telephone booth and called the "Evening. News." "Thanks," said the city editor in a slightly bored voice, "but our reporter already has the story half written."

Louis V. Schmeling

Wasting not a precious second

When he heard the starting bell, With two years'

wrong to be

reckoned,

To revenge at once he fell.

Hard into the kidney smashed, Dealt his heavy lefts and rights, And with fierceness Schmeling. lashed

To delight the New Yorkites.

To bring blood from Max's face, And to show that once a walkout Couldn't restore a Boxing Ace, Finished him with quite a knock- out.

Though the opposition claimed That it was an obvious foul," And the seconds at him almed, To eatop the tight, a towel.

There's no kick, except that hic: He makes cutlets mighty quick.
