'CLIP' DESERTS

THE R.A.F.

If you happen to come across a brown mongrel dog with a wrinkl. ed forehead, you can put another furrow in his brow with this piece of news--

Acting Pilot-Officer Clip, you have been court-martialled and reduced to the rank of A. C. (2).

That's what comes of being jealous about a goat and absent- ing oneself without leave,

A. C. (2) Clip, late A.P., is the mascot of a famous fighter squad- ron stationed near London. They rescued him from a dogs' home.

With kindly tolerance, the of- ficers describe him as of "an Irish terrier type," and speak fondly of his white and his en- gaging wrinkled brow. Not that he had anything to give him wrinkles. He haunted the cookhouses and regularly at- tended medical parade for the sake of the olive oil doled out to him. For three months Clip dwelt in this canine Garden of Eden but then the serpent appeared in the form of a billy goat.

That night

All day the officers spent dis- cussing the advantages of adopt- ing the goat. Clip moped.

they decided that the goat should be theirs. And Clip, another wrinkle appearing suddenly on his forehead, slunk

off into the night. Now the of- ficers long for their old love.
