A Snooper Dear Jupcr: Knowing that you are greatly interested in “snooping” —particularly when indulged in by the long-nosed variety of insect who makes other people’s business their own, I attach you herewith a clipping pertaining to a shoe maker, who standing on the corner with his ears flapping in the breeze chanced to hear a hard working bootlegger tell about making a delivery to a customer. I hereby nominate this shoemaker, as the prize snooper for 1926, and think we should all get together and donate a handsome prize to this gen- tleman consisting of 4 oz. Carbolic Acid to be taken internall. What do you think of this anyway? Yours very truly, W. B. Lamb Nortt:—He should be severely dealt with but we shrink from poison. That's Government stuff.] Jacksonville, Fla. [ A Friend of Volstead My dear Juve Did it ever occur to you that your magazine would be hopelessly ruined JUDGE FOR YOURSELF ca & if the “Amendment” were repealed? Mr. Houghton would have to fall back on the Ku Klux Klan and other harmless organizations for criticism. Judge, Jr, and Judgette would re- turn to their kindergarten. Junce would consist of less than three pages, etc., etc. Therefore, pray give the patient public some real humor. We of the important generation find more en- joyment “evading” possibly might were it within the law to imbibe the “imbibable.” Yours for a bigger Jupce (for the price), A Frequent Reader Jacksonville, Fla, \ 32 P. S.—Also less (if any) “Me and My Conductor,” “The Girl Friend,” “A Letter,” etc, in the February issue. A. F. R. “Beautiful and Dumb” Your Honor: ive this unworthy member of your IL” the satisfaction of reading I have read more than one, yes dozens, of W. M. H.’s delicious edi- torials, and found big pleasure in those things. BUT—his reviews of re too much! ue of Feb, 12—Theat- rical Number—W. M. H. included “Beau Geste,” saying about that pic- ture that it is “beautiful and dumb.” That’s putting it a little strong, don’t you think, Junce? Why, W. M. Hs percentage dropped 50 per cent in my estimation when I read that re- view I just had to get this off my mind, Tuner, hence this letter—but—ohhh— not “Beau Geste”!! Hoping you won't take this in the wrong W ask you to hit me easy...
