July 5. 1919 Greater Love Hatin No Man It’s All in the Clothes By Pvt. G. E. Day, U.S.A I never made a hit before They togged me out in khaki; The girls declared 1 was a bore Not fit to be their lackey; But since I've worn the army: stuff The sweet things all adore me I throw the lady-killer bluff Gee! How they fall before me But now I'm surely out of luck I've got my discharge papets; And very soon Pll have to chuck My clothes and army capers. I'm going home, but don't you think The girls back there will know it! ‘That paper’d put me on the blink And darned if I will show it L'il wear the khaki all the time And say I'm on a furlough Until these army clothes of mine Get me a lovely girl, O And if one of the charming buds Will wear the marriage halter, I'll jump into civilian duds And lead her to the altar.

By the exercise of unparalleled economies, telephone rates have been kept almost unchanged. The fact is, the increase in the cost of commodities has resulted in what is equal to a decrease in telephone rates. In other words: The dollar which was spent for the telephone has bought more than twice as much as the dollar spent for the commodity. The activities of reconstruction which are now upon the nation have put a great burden upon the telephone. This condition has made necessary an advance in telephone rates. This advance does not exceed an average of eight percent; almost neg- ligible as compared with the advances in other lines of industry, yet enough to cover the increase in the cost of operation. Only through adequate revenue can there be assured the maintenance of a high standard of telephone service: AMERICAN TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH COMPANY AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES One Policy One System Universal Service es Subscription and Editorial Matters wy Bide Vork City comicbooks.com
