JUDGE Ingenious photographer Jones hits upon a method of making passport photos recognizable. Adorable Dora on the New Subway Dora, the adorable, though dumb and dizzy, damosel, was talking about the latest digging up the stree new subway. “What I'd like to know,” she lithped, “ith how they know jutht where to dig to find the trackth.” She’s so dumb she thinks all they have to do is unearth a new subway—stations and all, even to the booths and money changers.
