WEEKLY SMILE
(C.J.T.—Phila.,Pa.)
One of the most pleasant sur
prises that has come my way in many
a day was a letter which I received
from my old friend, L. E. Meredith,
last week. He is now at West Palm
Beach, Fla., representative of the
Union Insurance Company. Flor
ida people are gifted along the line
of “shooting the bull” for that is
how they have advertised and sold
Florida as a resort to the idle rich
of the country, but “L. E.” tells of
how they have in reality been shoot
ing' the “bull.” The male whale is
spoken of by sailors as the “bull,”
while the female of the species is
commonly spoken of as the “Vow.”
Recently two whales appeared off
the coast at West Palm Beach and
several men went out after them.
They killed the ‘“cow” in four hours
but had a job on their hands when
they tried to shoot that “bull” for
it required sixteen hours to kill him.
More than 500 army rifle steel bul
lets were fired into him. He weigh
ed approximately fifteen tons. “L.
E.” states that he watched the bat
tle for two hours.

Smith—“ Jones, why can’t you ever
come to work on time? You are
late every morning.”
Jones—“W’ell, you see, the shades
are always up at my home and I
take my time about dressing.”
Smith—“ But why don’t you pull
down the shades?”
Jones—“ Because I can’t reach
across the street.”
A Philadelphia reformer states
that boarding houses are the great
est evils in the United States today.
It has always been interesting to
me to note the things that appeal to
different men. Some men enjoy
baseball, football, prize fights,
wrestling, etc. Personally, I would
not pay ten cents to see the best
baseball game, foot ball game, prize
fight or wrestling match of the sea
son. Sports of any kind never ap
peal to me. Some men find pleasure
in hunting and fishing. These never
appealed to me. My greatest enjoy
ment is found in music. Frankly, it
is half of my living, as the expres
sion goes. I enjoy writing and poli
tics. Things that appeal to one man
will sometimes bore his neighbor.
Radio interests me no little. Radio
broadcasting is even more interesting
to me than "tuning in.”
There are tricks in all trades. The
first time I sang over the radio was
over station WNAT (Philadelphia).
I was singing for the Radio Publicity
Corporation of Philadelphia. On
the same program with me were the
“Supplee Milk Maids,” two girls who
were singing and playing as an ad
vertisement for the Supplee-Wills-
Jones Dairy Company, of Philadel
phia. After they had sung and
played, the announcer said, “Now,
folks, as an added attraction, I am
going to have the Supplee Milk
Maids play a banjo and guitar duet.”
These girls didn't play banjos and
guitars but the idea was to have two
men of the orchestra to do the play
ing and announce over the radio
that the “Supplee Milk Maids” were
doing the playing, but, when the an
nouncer said, “Girls, what will this
selection be?” One of the men who
did the playing answered in a coarse
voice, “Tea For Two,” and of course
this went out on the air.
Station WIP (Gimbel Bros., in
Philadelphia) is a classy station. The
broadcasting room is enclosed by
sound proof walls. In this room there
is one grand piano and an upright.
There are numerous settees and
chairs for the comfort of the per
formers. There are two micro
phones—one near the pianos and one
for the use of the singers. Adjoin
ing the broadcasting room is another
room which looks like the inside of
some power house. Numerous wires,
lights, switches, etc., are here con
trolled by the engineer. The an
nouncer stands in the room with the
pAformers. I have learned that by

not standing too close to the micro
phones while singing, there is less
static at the receiving stations. The
average person who' sings over the
radio wants to be sure to be heard
and sings right into the microphohe.
But this is wrong. It is just like
talking over a telephone. If you
stand too close to the mouth-piece
your speech will not be plain at the
other end of the line.
Sometime ago while riding through
the mountains just north of Philadel
phia, in an automobile, we approach
ed a sign which read, “Not much
longer to wait now.” A few yards
further on we came to another sign
which read, “Get out your dime.”
A few yards further on, another one
read, “Hot dog ahead.” The funny
part of this was that a little further
on we passed a dog running along
the road with his tongue hanging
out. Os course we came to a “hot
dog” stand later on.
Do you believe in signs? In trav
eling from town to town it was al
ways interesting to me to note the
different signs in restaurants, hotels,
etc. Some of them were real clever.
Saw a sign in a certain town which
read, “Chicken dinner 10c.” This
was hanging in front of a feed store.
A sign on a pay station telephone
read, “Thanks, call again.” Sign on
a candy store window, “Ma’s Candy
Shop—Pop on Ice.” Numerous res
taurant signs that I have seen, read,
"Try our Milk—Cream Ain’t In It.”
“Don’t tip the waiters—it upsets
them,” ‘ ‘Fresh pork sausage—no
bull,” “We now have brains—also
pig’s feet,” “Our wholesome meals
will atke the wrinkles out of your
tummy,” “This silverware is not like
doctor’s medicine—to be taken after
meals,” “Banks serve no meals—we
cash »o checks,” "Come in and eat
or we’ll starve to death,” and “If
wifie can’t cook don’t divorce her—
eat here and keep her for a pet.”
Saw a sign on a country tea room
once which read, “Chicken dinner
Sunday—bring your chicken.” Saw
a sign in front of a farm house
which read, “If you want to buy a
pig, see me—-J. Brown.” Also re
member seeing this one hanging on
a farm-house gate, “Honey, come in.”
A barber shop sign read, “Hello,
whiskers—dare you in.” This sign
was hanging in a hall at a hospital,
“Children not admitted to maternity
ward.” A beauty parlor sign read,
“We’re always looking for new
wrinkles.”
Department stores are very inter
esting places to work if you can see
the comical side of your every day
dealings with the masses of humanity
that flock into them, day after day.
When I speak of department stores
I mean the kind that cover an en
tire block and are from ten to twelve
stories high. As manager of the in
fants’ wear, house dresses and cor
set departments of Gimbel Bros,
store, in Philadelphia, it is my duty
to adjust all complaints which come
up in these departments, O. K. all
checks which are cashed, O. K. all
goods which are to be exchanged,
supervise the salespeople who num
ber around one hundred, keep ev
erything going smoothly, etc. Next
week I am going to tell you of some
of my experiences in Gimbels. Some
of them have been most interesting
and, I am sure, will interest you.
The program which I will render
over radio station WIP (Gimbel
Bros., in Philadelphia) on Tuesday
evening, May 12th, from 9:30 to
9:50 P. M., will be as follows:
1. “On the Road to Mandalay”—
by Oley Speaks.
2. “Absent”—by John John W.
Metcalf.
3. “O Promise Me”—by Reginald
De Koven.
4. “Thy Beaming Eyes”—by Ed
ward McDowell.
5. “In the Garden of My Heart”
—by Ernest R. Ball.

miHERN miLW SYSTEM
FORD ADDS NEW DESIGN
TRUCK BODY FOR RUNABOUT
As a delivery unit to meet re
quirements for equipment lighter
than that of the ton truck, the Ford
Motor Company has just added a
pick-up body to its commercial car
line.
The new body is designed for use
on the Ford runabout, taking the
place of the rear deck, and is well
adapted to all kinds of light hauling
and quick delivery. The runabout
seat affords comfortable riding for
the driver and there is ample room
for another passenger. Full pro
tection against inclement weather is
provided by the top and side cur
tains.
The new body is of all steel con
struction and sturdily built. It is
3 feet 4 3-4 inches wide and 4 feet
8 inches long. Sides are thirteen
inches deep to the flare, so that load
ing space is sufficient to meet all
demands of light delivery. The end
gate is the same as that on the ex
press type body of the ton truck and
when partially lowered is securely
held in place by chains.
CARDOF THANKS
We wish to thank all of our
friends, neighbors and physicians for
their kindness and sympathy to us
during the illness and death of our
beloved wife and mother. Also we
appreciated the beautiful floral of
ferings.

Newspaper Story Well
Worth Being Told Again
Perhaps It’s because newspaper men
are a clannish lot of lads and prefer,
when not engaged In their arduous
duties, to be of and among themselves
to seeking the company of others, but
It strikes this observer that those who
are alien to the newspaper profession
hear few stories respecting the ac
tivities of the boys from the paper
Offices. Certainly the young man—or
young woman—who is engaged in
gathering the news of the day en
counters plenty of adventure, some of
it funny and again some of it not so
funny.
Practically every newspaper man in
the world has heard the story of the
cub reporter who, being of a timid na
ture. was assigned by his city editor to
Interview the Irascible capitalist whose
lovely daughter had just run off with
tlie family chauffeur. In fear and
trembling he rang the doorbell. “Is
Mr. Jones in?” he asked the maid who
answered the door. “No. he Is not,”
she replied. "Thank Godl” said the
reporter, and fell off the steps.
The story is so familiar to news
paper men (tn fact it is Incorporated
In many of the textbooks that now
alm to teach the young reporter how
to shoot) that one wonders how gen
erally it is known by the public.
Sacred Steps
The Santa Scala Is a flight of 28
steps of white-veined marble in the
piazza of the church of St. John Lat
eran at Rome, which, according to tra
dition, belonged to the house of Pilate
at Jerusalem, and were made sacred
by the feet of Christ as he passed to
Judgment, the Kansas City Times re
lates. Penitents are permitted to
ascend these stairs only on their knees,
and so great has been the number that
annually made the ascent that It was
found necessary to cover the steps
with planks of wood to Insure their
protection. It was while ascending
these steps that Martin Luther, then
a monk, thought he heard the words.
“The Just shall live by faith.” Morti
fied by the degradation to which he
considered his superstition had led
him, lie descended and hastened from
the spot.
