your right to say it.” The Poison Parade Dear Jena Your idea about the “Poison Pa- rade,” if ever realized, would be the greatest publicity stunt that any pub- lication could “hope for. Here's hoping (gulp!—thanks to “Here's How!") that the parade will take place on a fine spring day from the Battery to the Circle And allow me to take up just one more minute of your time with the following suggestion for the “Poison Parade”: “President Coolidge in the lead with a two-inch strip of adhesive tape across his mouth.” Very truly yours, Ben Ames w York City y 26, 1927 P There’s only one trouble with Jupce—that it’s not a daily in- stead of a weekly. Go Easy on Prohibition Editor of Jwvsx. Dear Sin: Having read your maga- zine for some time ry efforts published in “Judge for Yourself,” I couldn't resist the temp- tation to put in my oar. Personally, I wait anxiously for and enjoy every number, nor do I see why some people should get so warm over your editorials and j g., “The Trumpeter” in your Fourth f July number. I am one of the “college boys” he refers to, but I suf- fered no internal revolts on reading your college number. Your campaign against poisoned liquor deserves great praise; but, honest, Juncr, you're overdoing the Anti-Prohibition stuff a bit. It isn’t that I give a damn whether it is re- pealed or not; I don’t drink myself, though God knows I'd be far from re- fusing one at about three o'clock in the morning, when the dancing lasts till six. Still, it is rather a bore to see the same pictures and the same jokes week after week. Judge, Jr, and Judgette are good. I haven't found a boy in the house (or otherwise) who doesn’t read them regularly. But, again, a minor criti- cism (oh, Juncr! do you ever get a letter with no criticisms? Oh, well, such is life!): Cut out that eternal “Here's How!” We all know he's written it. Wh There is such a thing as too much advertising. Lots of luck and good jokes to you, Tuner. You have a good mi so don’t. worry about criticisms; they're only the minority report. E.R.M. Hamilton College Clinton, N. Y., February 26, 1927 “I do not agree with a word that you say, but I will defend to the death VOLTAIRE To Mr. Trumpeter Dear Sever: Master ‘Trumpeter certainly blew his trumpet in your issue of February 26th last. No doubt the applause was tremendous. For a blind trumpete Gilbert does remarkably well, I think, God help him if his eyesight ever re- turns! As for a patriotic American (a small “p will do) T would suggest that he make the acquaintance of a few of them. It is barely possible that they might not be so Patriotie— to him. If the boys and girls become ex- tinct so will the bootlegger, and our greatest amendment of all, the = CAR CG eighteenth, would be a horrible suc- s and Master Gilbert the only liv- ing survivor of the wreck. But, after all is said and done, Sir Gilbert has a perfect right to blow his own trumpet; so let us Speak y of our great martyr and give the devil his due. Respectfully, George L. Hinds New York City March 6, 1927 A Methodist Inquires To the Editor of Jupcr: Dear Sir: I am a Methodist I noticed the picture in Juncr of March 5, 1s and would like to know why you pick on the Method- ists? Also why you put a Catholic priest garb on a meddling Methodist? (No harm, just interested.) Yours respectfully, J. L. Miller Indianapolis, Ind. March 27 Note—Our only quarrel with dists concerns the efforts of of their representatives to force their moral standards on the rest of us by law.) 1 NSS Modesty. —Ho»orist 32 EDWARD LANGER PRINTING CO., JAMAICA, N.Y comicbooks.com ae coon en annneasensacnans aaa
