n by Nowwax Axtuoxr \UTOMONILE REGULATIONS: DIM YOUR LIGHTS WHEN TURNING AKOUND IN SIDE STREETS. Waste By Peacy Waxman I VE kept the books for twenty years For Lampson, Billings, Stowe & Flete An export house. They own the picrs That fringe the back of Portage Street For twenty years my chair [I've twirled And watched their ships sail round the world. For twenty years I've slaved and slaved With just one goal in front of me, And all that time I've scrimped and saved Against the day when I'd be free. But now my slaving days are past And freedom’s come to me at last. twenty years I've dreamed mad dreams hing through a spray-filled breeze clipper ships with creeking beams palm-fringed isles in coral seas. And as I kept my books cach day My soul on travels flew away I've longed to visit Zanzibar ochistan and Suringam And Nijni Novgorod’s bazaar Tasmania, Labrador, Siam \t last it’s mine to see Lahore Sumatra, Sydney, Singapore.

And the telephone obeys his command. Time and space become of small account when, through desire or necessity, you would call across a continent. This is what the “Long Distance” service of the Bell telephone has accomplished for you; what sci- ence in construction has created; and what efficiency of workers has maintained. You take the telephone as much for granted as you do the wonder of the changing seasons. You ac- cept as a matter of course the com- pany’s ability to keep all the parts of this great nation in constant contact. By so doing you offer a fine tribute to the Bell organization which has created this “Long Dis- tance” service—a service no other country has attempted to equal.

Little Girl—Shall I spend more than you can afford? 27 The Boss's Job “Remember what I tell you, if I give you the job—” “Yes, sir.”” “You are hired for a billing clerk, not a coo- ing clerk. If there is any cooing to be done, the boss will attend to that.” She Asked for It Boston Parent—Waldo, we cannot play bridge if you are so noisy: Bean-Fed Child—You lack concentration, mother. comicbooks.com
