D> NG si “I do not agree with a word that you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” A Recipe Gentlemen: I cannot resist the temptation to compliment you on your remarkable publication. ‘That you same should time two possess at the such writers as dgette is most ings are so—so— Anyway, you any chance referring to cach other or to themselves. It really quite pathetic the way they hate themselves, and the fabulous salaries you must pay them! Or do they pay you? This, I think, would be fairer. And Judge, Jr. is so lavishly generous with the recipes for those alluring drinks that it calls for reciprocation on the part of your readers, at least that is how I feel out it, and I am going to give him one. Take two parts cy strychnine, add the juice of one cork and the next time he feels the urge to write something have him stand up and after saying “Here's How!,” drink hear! ‘Admiringly, ”. ‘Stephenson Hingham, Massachusetts Tell the World Your Honor, and Gentlemen of the Jury: The letter from “A Frequent Reader” merely shows, much to our sorrow, what a “Volstead Complex” (to be’ listed in future pathological works under Dementia) can do to an other intelligent and perchance humor-loving American. I have always known Juncr to be up-to-the-minute in the events of the day, hence, if so much humor is poked at the most annoying issue of the ¢ cles, it is a clear indication that the world at large looks forward to it; and the fact that many well-known European sport publications have been quoting June long before Mr. Voistead de- cided to make himself known, is in my humble opinion ample proof. IT have been a constant reader of Juvor, and have mai nds in four continents, and we Nl of the opinion t y person endowed with the thinnest vein of humor will always find at least a corner in Jupce that is worth the price of the issue. Yours for the nide, one part Truth, even if it hurts. Edgar B. Coster P.S. I might add, for the edifica- tion of our friends of “the important generation,” that drinking does not number among my small vices, or big ones either. Brooklyn, New York —VOLTAIRE The Cup That Clears 7 West ‘43rd St, New York, Dear Sir: The editorial of April goth in your paper on the Dr. Butler- Borah debate ap- pealed to the undersigned, inasmuch as he is an old winemaker and former president of this wine business now in dissolution. With not a cent for compensation from the government which made his business and vocation outlaw, he had to face unwarranted los Firm in his belief that wine drinking would solve the so-called liquor question, as it does in civilized Europe, he likes to repeat your query: “What appall- ing cowardice is it that would induce a people to regard such an agency as a curse?” Let us hope that your sane reason- ing on the subject finally win out and will make the fanatics ashamed of a curse of their own creation: the liquor traffic of the bootlegger! This being merely an expression of appreciation, no reply is required. Gratefully yours, Jordan, Jr. San Franciseo, Cal. An Appreciation Dear Juvcx: For some time I've considered dropping you a word or two about your magazine. I like the paper it's printed on, and when you use lots of red on the covers, I ‘simply love it. And, speaking of covers, why not more of them from the extraordi- arily witty pen of Jefferson Mac- hamer! There's one nincompoop too conspicuously a member of your staff —Judge, Jr. If it were not for Jef- ferson Machamer's drawings with his script and what he writes Mac,” I'd skip it. This “Mae be a droll, jolly fellow—a hero of drinking songs. His “I from the Shows” is better than any- thing Rembrandt, Hals, Sargent or Bud Fisher ever did!!! I don’t like Perelman, Young, Hanley, Tousey, Walker, McKee, Reilly, Weed, Farr, Forbell, Inwood, rde, Collier, ‘Trembath or Fuller. They're not art- ists!! The one man on Juper who stands out like a long skirt—Jefferson Machamer! saughs Hoping to see more of Jefferson Machamer’s work in Jupce, I am Very sincerely, I assure you, Jefferson Flushing, L. 1, N.Y. Machamer AZZ ( )IABELS No one could get away with this crime. Judge pays $5 for each one printed. Vicar (to his sidesmen)—<s I shall be preaching on “Thrift” this morning, I think it would be advisable to take the collection before the sermon. —Passinc Snow GEN PRINTING CO., ING, JAMAICA, NOY comicbooks.com
