| JUDGE FOR YOURSELF OAR, (Evrror’s Nore—Jopae receives 20 many inter- eating letters that he wants to share them with his readers. Under this heading, therefore, he intends printing from time to time those letters to the editor, or extracts from them, that he considers pertinent. Correspondents who wish their letters printed should try to make them brief, and whether they sign them or not, should always accompany them with their full names and addresses.) The Worst Law Ever To the Editors of Jupae: Dear Editors: Please allow me to congratulate u upon your policy of plain speaking, in placing Before the publie the undisguised facts, ‘concerning the deplorable conditions now existing in this nation, as stated in your editorial in Jupae, August 29. . . . ersonally, I am not interested in the question of Prohibition, but am lly interested in the conditions which have been brought about as a result of the Eighteenth Amendment, as I have observed them. More law breakers and liars have been made, more people have been sent to jails, more families have been distressed, wrecked and ruined, as a result of this bit of legislation, either directly or indirectly, than through any other single legislative act ever “‘put over” by any nation on earth, through constituted authority, civilized or unciviliz since the dark ages. Statistics will substantiate the charge. ‘As to your relation to religious organizations and sacred things, I note your correspondent from Tennessee, HG. Talbert, in issue of August 29 s that you make fun of sacred things. ‘As anear student of Jupae affairs, for many years, Iyhave failed to note this. Some sharp thrusts have been made by Jupce. at the hypoe cal principles and acts of certain so-called religious organizations, which is eminently fitting and Proper. ‘uth, crushed to earth, will rise again. More power to you—Jupoe—fight on. ‘The freedom of is great nation (temporarily destroyed) will eventually reassert itself. When, by what means and at what cost, can not be predicted at this time. Yours very truly, ome vetF T Howord Jonsts Washington, D. C. August 25, 1925, “A Beacon of Light” To the Editors of Jupae: Being of sound mind and possessing sober judg- ment, let me add my few words of praise for Jupcr and its ideals. It is truly a beacon of light in a sea of darkness and bigotry. Ridicule has proven an effective weapon which militates against the forces of ignorance. I am not a Tennessean and as such appreciate the wisdom which simmers through from time to time in JupaE. More light and more power to you! Very truly yours, D. E. Oboler, D.D.S. New York August 28, 1925, A Joke’s a Joke Dear Juvcr: I have been reading the letters in criticism of your magazine and I want to say that I consider any one nutty who objects to the subjects joked about in Jupae, What difference does it make to joke about any- thing in the world? Vv takes a joke so seriously as to let it ruin for them the subject joked about (be it ever so fragile)? Vhy, if we took all cartoons and burlesques as seriously as some of your readers seem to have taken some of yours I think we would soon be in a mean state of being—all of us. é Sol “JUDGE, go to it.” Anything to get a right as long as no one is injured in t same. fe ince ond Berry. 25, 1925. | P.S.—I forgot to say in the enclosed that I think the D. ¥.

But one night I had a bitter experience that changed everything. Here’s what happened. By JAMES PRESTON You know, I once thought nerve alone was enough to get by anywhere. That is, I thought so till I met Olive. You never in your life saw two people take to each other the way we did. If only that dance party hadn’t come— But dances are what parties are made for. I sat out two or three fox trots watching Olive spin around in the arms of other men and then I decided to take a turn with her my- self. At the very first notes of the orchestra I swallowed a lump of fear and taking a hold that must have been screamingly funny if it weren’t so pathetic—I started what I thought was dancing. Wherever did I get my nerve? Where did that girl ever get her patience? I must have stumbled twenty times—and then in the middle, she winced with pain and stopped to rub her toes. “Jack,” she said, her voice tried hard to be friendly—“Jack—let’s not finish this dance. I'm too tired anyway,” she added, struggling with herself to be nice to me. I guess I turned'a million colors. Just then I wanted the ground to open and swallow me up. It was quite awhile before I saw Olive again. ,, But that night I sat up and Now the girls are just too gl thought—suddenly it dawned upon me why I was | I ask for adance.
