Tour de Force WHAT will impress Papa most on e the cross-country vacation trip this Summer? A. The fact that he averages 21.678 miles pet gallon. Q. Will Mama be thrilled by the scen- ery? A. No. She will spend most of the time looking at the dashboard gauge and telling Papa it looks like he was about out of gas. Q. And Papa, of course, will agree with her? A. Certainly not. He will merely mumble that the gauge always reads low. Q. How will Mama react to this as- surance of an ample fuel supply? A. She will sniff: ‘That's’ what you said day before yesterday, but I notice you had to walk three miles for a little red can!” Q. Will Papa chuckle heartily at this? A. No. He will display a very sour ex- pression and drive a little faster around the next turn. Q. Will Mama drop the subject? A. Not until Pape pulls in at the next service station and growls: “All right, all right! From now on we'll stop at every pump we come to and buy a nickel's worth of gas, if it'll make you feel any better!” Q. Will it? A. Well, every wife likes to recall the time her husband ran out of gas and had to walk. If Mama could have two such incidents within one week to toss in Papa’s face, she would be absolutely overjoyed for the rest of her life. Q. Is that a nice way for Mama or any other wife to act? A. Well, Papa and all the other hus- bands seem to ask for it, don’t they? Q. Then your theory of successful maftiage is that the husband should run out of gas on an occasional long trip, just to make the little wife happy? A. That questjon calls for a long, in- volved answer which I am unable to pre- pare now, on account of my pewriter ribbon is about worn out, which will bring happiness to a certain lady who asked me only an hour ago if I didn't think I'd better buy a new one. —CueET JOHNSON.
