ON THE Q.T.
The waiter approached one of the
regular diners at the restaurant and
as ked if he would do him a favor.
“I’m leaving the restaurant, sir,”
he explained, “and the manager
won’t give me a reference. I thought
perhaps you might say 1 was honest,
sir. I’ve always served you when
you’ve been here, sir.”
i “Well, I don’t mind saying ttsat
I’ve always found you honest,”
said the diner. “Bring me some
notepaper.”
He wrote a few words.
“Thank you very much indeed,
sir,” said the waiter. “I can never
repay you sufficiently.” Then he bent
low and whispered; “Come here to
morrow, and I’ll let you have a
meal for nothing.”
Experience
The newly elected justice of the
peace had borrowed a friend’s gun.
Along came bunny. Bang! The
weapon kicked like an army mule.
“You’ll be sentencing that thing
for assault and battery," smiled his
friend to the sore-shouldered magis
trate.
“Anyway,” came the smiling re
ply, “I shall discharge it with a
caution.”
NO SOAP

fairest flower that grows, you never
speak that way of me.
Hubby—Well, he’s a florist, and
I’m a soap manufacturer.
About Women
A woman does such funny things!
I cannot understand ’em.
The stunts they do with money
brings
New cause to reprimand ’em.
They see a twenty dollar bag
And buy it in a minute,
When just a dime and powder rag
Is all they’ll carry in it.
Convalescent
He—Why wouldn’t you see me yes

mend.
A Man’s a Man
He—l wonder how. it is a girl
can’t catch a ball like a man?
She—Oh, a man is so much bigger
and easier to catch.
NUTTY
“Waiter, are you insane? What do
you mean by bringing me a dish of
peanuts when I am nearly starved?”
! “Pardon me, sir; but when you
came in you said you had the appe
tite of an elephant, so I thought pea
nuts would just suit you.”
Difference
“Before we were married, Jack,
you said mother could stay with us
whenever she pleased.”
“Yes, my dear, but since we have
been married she has ceased to
please.”
Fit to Kill
“Funny thing, isn’t it?”
“What is?”
“That a live man in fact is always
dead in earnest.”
Hopeless
Bing—Yes, that’s old Spriggins.
Half-a-dozen doctors have given him
up at various times during his life.

him?
i Bing—He wouldn’t pay his bills.
Opinion

' Average U.S. Ship
Is 19.7 Yean Old
Merchant Fleet’s ‘Age* Up
Slightly From 194-0.
NEW YORK. Despite thl in
crease in merchant ship construc
tion during the last year in the
United States, the average age of
vessels in the American merchant
fleet is higher than last year, ac
cording to the latest bulletin issued
by the American bureau of shipping
on the subject.
A breakdown of age figures on
the 1,123 ships in United States
ocean-going merchant service on
October 1, 1941, shows that 79.2 per
cent arc more than 20 years old.
Only 39,9 per cent of the vessels
owned by other countries are past
i the 20-ycar mark. Eleven per cent
of the American ships are less than
I five years old, while 17 per cent of
I the foreign craft are within this
1 class.
! The average age of merchant
ships flying the United States flag
is 19.7 years, one-tenth of 1 per
cent more than at the time of a
similar survey completed on Octo
ber 1, 1940.
These figures do not give a true
picture of the potential quality of
our merchant fleet, however, and
it is expected that as the long-range
emergency shipbuilding programs ,
of the United States maritime com
mission progress this country will
have a first-class fleet of cargo car
riers, with a gradual increase in
the number of new vessels.
On the basis of these age figure
it is difficult to realize, for exam-*
pie, that the number of ocean-going
steel merchant ships completed in
the first 10 months of this year is
nearly double the total for the same
period in 1940.
On October 1 of this year, 1,011
vessels were under construction or
contract to the bureau’s classifica
tion. On November 1, 1940, there
were only 302 ships listed.

' German Generals Hit

BERLIN. Hundreds of Ger
