The train enters a tunnel. Pus- sengers hear Arst a kiss, then a vig- orous slap. Truin emerges into the light again. "Everyone remains silent, but the German offleer has a black sit eye.

The old lady thinks: "What a good | to girl she is, such a fine moral char-

The teacher wrote on the black- board: "I ain't had fun all summer." Then she asked a youngster in the front row: "Harry, what should do to correct that?"

"Perhaps get a boy friend?" he suggested helpfully.

The German thinks;. "That Ruman- ion is a smart, one he steal a kiss and I get hit."

The Rumunian thinks: **E*rt clever fellow. I kiss the back of my hand, hit a German officer, and get away with SE."
