Moral Reflection Picture the lawyers’ grievous plight If everyone did just what was right. If we spilled no Scotch on our Sunday suit The cleaners’ profit would be minute. Slide-trombonists could slide no more If we cut out dancing till three or four And cabbies’ horses would starve in their traces If we stayed at home and never went places. Barkeeps’ children could buy no lunches If we suddenly laid off Planters’ punches. And what would the dressmakers do, poor dears, If we wore our clothes for years and years? So courage, heart, and cease repining; All your sins have a silver lining, And having fun and going broke "Sure, come over—we're listening Mean honest work for worthy folk. to the fight!” —ETHEL JACOBSON Fact England's former king is having al- most as much trouble before marriage as the rest of us do after. v There seems to be a difference of opinion about the efficiency of the Rust Brothers’ cotton-picking machine; still we wouldn't stand too close to it in a $12 overcoat. ’ And nothing melts quite so rapidly as the city’s appropriation for snow re- moval. v Newspapers are fighting for free ex- pression in Europe.

Hello, Newark! Where in heck am 1? a night club table. I’ve been flying blind all night!” 33 Judge comicbooks.com
