That old saw about “When in
Rome, do as Romans do,” may
be pood advice, but who would
want to salute Benito and walk
backwards all the time?
u
The best crack we’ve heard
lately is that the reason Hitler
always looks so plum and sour is
that he pets up on the wrong
<ide of the channel every morn
ing.

Hitler’s secret weapon has
been the cold deck.
If Hitler hasn’t a headache
now, he’s pot one waiting around
the corner.
War bulletins from Berlin and
Moscow being what they are, why
not shorten the word “communi
que” to “comique?”
Mussolini has to chin in on
every controversy, to keep up
the delusion he is still a going
concern.
Betcher life Hitler is waging a
defensive war in Russia. That’s
the only reason he ever tights
to hear him tell it.
Correspondent says Germans
are getting set to go again, hut
they’re are not sure where. We
could make a suggestion.
There may be a France, but
after flirting with Hitler lu-r rep
utation will never be the same.
The French are a Mercurial
people, but switcamn Hum
turies of hating Germans to ad
miration overnight seems lik
overdoing it.
—O'”
German commissioner ha t
banned strikes in the Nether
lands, but not the three toe H 1-
landers already have on them.
Tolar Bears, Penguins
Polar bears and penguins art
found at opposite ends of the earth,
so penguins need no protection from
the bears, nor need they hide their
eggs from them. Polar bears are
cf the north polar regions; penguins
of the south polar areas.
Cleaning Ttaying Cards
Playing cards will last longer and
look better if well cared for. As
soon us any spots or stains appear,
wipe the.n gently with a cloth dipped
in warm water. Pat dry with a
clean cloth and lay on a flat sur
face until the cards are perfectly
clrv.
Cat Coincidence
For the department of remarkable
coincidences: Officer E. K. O’Brien
of the police records bureau in Wash
ington was scanning the lost-and
found column of the newspaper. He
found an ad about a missing tomcat
named Teddy. O’Brien looked up
to see a wOary-looking cat walk into
(he room, ’ It was Teddy, giving
himself no. i

Volume From Tiano
Where greater volume is desired
from a piano, there should be no
carpet under the instrument. This
is especially true of a grand, which
gives off sound from the underside
of its case. Conversely, in a small
room a carpet under the piano will
soften its tone and keep it from
being too loud.
Sun Nearest Star
Being only 92,000,000 miles away,
the sun is our nearest star. The near
est of the bodies we commonly call
stars and which are identical with
our own sun, is the star Proxima
Centauri, which is about 26,000,000,-
1)00,000 miles distant.
Mosquito Bit-
How dOes'ie mosquito pite? First
he lights on the victim, places his
mouth, which is a hollow tube about
three-eighths of an inch long, on the
skin. The stinger, a raspy drill
partly covering the outside of the
mouth, sinks swiftly, penetrating the
skin. The mosquito starts his feast
of blood. The irritation of a bite
is caused by the mosquito’s saliva,
deposited in the wound to prevent
-he blood clotting in the insect’s
lubelike mouth. 1

FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS
The new maid, preparing to serve !
at her first dinner party, was in j
| structed by her garden-loving mis
j tress to place a “little flower” in
each fingerbowl for the guests.
That point in the course of the
meal arrived, and to the hostess’
perplexity, she saw that no blos
soms were floating about as planned,
but that the water had a decidedly
murky nature.
Asking the maid afterward as
to the cause of the murkiness, she
was informed: “Why, ma’am, Ah
jes’ put in a little flour like you
tole me.”
Good Reason
“Don’t they teach you to salute in
your company?” roared the major
to Patrick Malone, who had passed
him without raising his hand.
“Yes, sir,” replied Pat.
“Then why didn’t you salute?”
“Well, sir,” Pat repljed, "I didn’t
want to attract more attention than
necessary, because I’m not supposed
to be out without a pass.”
HASN’T DECIDED
“Is your husband going south with
you?”
“I haven’t decided whether to ask
him or not.”
Vivid Memory
A Negro whose recollections of
great men appeared to run back far
ther than one listener could stand
was finally asked rather sarcastical
ly:
“I suppose you remember the day
George Washington took a hack at
the cherry tree?”
“Oh, yas, sah, I ’member dat very
well. Why, I done drove that hack.”
Time Will Tell
A boy in grade school refused to
sew, thinking it beneath the dignity
of a ten-year-old.
“George Washington sewed,” said
his teacher, “and do you consider
yourself better than George Wash
ington?”
“I don’t know; time will tell,” re
plied the boy seriously.
—
Successful Bazaar
“Your club must have realized
quite a neat sum for the poor with
the bazaar.”
“It was quite a success. We had
a little supper afterwards and came
out just about even.”
Already Solid
“What did Miss Sharp say wher*
Tom told her he would like to make
himself solid?”
“She replied that so far as ms
head was concerned he would have
nothing to do.”
Cause Enough
Bystander—You took a great risk
! in rescuing that boy; you deserve a
hero’s medal. What prompted you
to do it?
Johnny—He had my skates on.
Indispensable
“The banquet tonight can’t get
along without me.”
“You have a very good opinion
of yourself. Billed for a speech?
“No; I was invited to listen.”
WINTER RESORT
“My this must be one of those
j Southern winter resorts one reads
I about.”
Stone Age
Mrs. Highbrow—Don’t you find the
Stone age interesting?
Mrs. Lowbrow—Yes, indeed! Jim
mie's just that age now, but it's
awfully hard on our windows.
Takes the Cake
Bobby had been to a birthday
party. Knowing his weakness,
mother said, “Bobby, you didn’t ask
for a second piece of cake?”
“No, ma'am. I only asked Mrs.
Smith for the recipe so you could
make some like it, and she gave me
two more pieces, just of her own
accord.”
For Better Speech
“Joan can sw-ear like a pirate.”
“It’s shocking, but you should say
‘like • piratress’!”

Deer Infect Cattle
Deer roaming the foothills around
Mount Hamilton, Santa Clara coun
(’■’ in California, have proved a
./arce of infection for herds of cat
tle ranging the same area, accord

The Mischianza (also spelled

tary festival given to General Howe
I by the British soldiers in Philadel
