THIS SEX COMPLEX

By Edward Kelly, Wife Beater. We are appalled to hear that a man has been chucked out of the Y. M. C. A. on his car by a woman. We shiver-no, not shiver- sweat, to think what the out- come of all this will be.

Therefore we say, cocksuró of the backing of all self-respecting citizens of this community, that this insidious invasion of man's rights has got to stop. We give it in writing! When there's any- one who needs to be taken by the seat of their pants and chucked out, we, the representatives of tho sternar sex, will do our own dirty work.
