Nobody's Business Written for Tho Chronicle by G* Mctitxj, Copyright, 1928. . Got Match? I havb been reading some cigarette advertisements today, and I have learned much, i did not know before that Germany would possibly have won the war had it not been for "Plucky Swipes." The boy# were in the trenches, they had fought all day long, and night was coming on, and so were the enemy. They were all in, but somebody produced u cartoon of cigarettes, and within 1(J minutes, the "Gott Mid Una" were "balling the jnck toward the rear at 60 mile# per hour. And that ain't all. Just last week while the Great Westi-rn Pictures Corporation was filming a talkie, Jack Bolt, who played the role of 3fingered Pete, was on the verge of coughing, hut the leading lady, Iodine Ninavitch, handed him a cigarette, ho took 2 puffs, and the cough gave up it# effort to come forth. That single cigarette possibly saved 6,999 fept ol perfectly good telluloid. It simply ruins everything for anybody to cough while making a talkie. Moral! Always be #ure that the leading lady has plenty cigarette* in her lingerie when a talkie is biting made. And what you reckon? You remember Jerusha Perkins? Well, don't you recall that she ate a few pieces of candy last fall, and had begun to get fat? And you know how disgraceful it is nowadays to In? even half plump? Ami Jerusha was leading up to plumpness, but she rend and "ad," and when she begun to want a stick of candy, she immediately took up cigarette sucking. Now instead of weighing 124 pounds, she tips the scales at only 123 pounds. No sir ree, our women folks simply must have cigarettes, or they'll soon be too heavy to sit. in our laps ansoforth. Furthermore, while some of our own dear boys were discovering the North Pole last year, they were practically frozen to death when an Eskimo ran up with a package of "Old Silver," and soon smoke was oozing ?rom the nostrils of the Tt strickerr explorers, nnd the ice fell from their noses and whiskers, and before anybody knew it, they were entirely normal. The cigarette makers swear that those men would have passed out hart it not been for their nicotine generators. "I think it. is perfectly wonderful how our girls are taking on to cigarettes. It won't be long now before they will be puffing a smoke-screen ioto our faces while telling us that our tio ain't on straight, or the coal is out, or gimme your pay envelope. It is so elevating to smoke. Everybody loves a smoking girl. They are so darling. And don't a cigarette just look horribly cute perched on the lower lip of our queens which we tried to raise right? Some folks say, however, that the smoke practically destroys the virtue of a lipstick. Anyway. cigarettes are doing wonders. Hie girls ought to learn to chew too, 1 think and I sowehow or other feel like iu>.<ing goes along with- female smoking. N.i sir, this old world is making progress ain't it? The light l,a-t Night One of the hardest fought battles of fistic history was pulled otf last night in Bill Johnson's pt-'ure. the contestants being Mike Clark, rfd, and Max Sexton, the former the champion feathar weight of Wild Hog and the latter the champion heavy* weight of DavJl'f Cross Koada. The ? fight waa refereed by Lou Cussor of Punk How. The fight by round* follow*: First Hound: Mike rushed from ' hi* corn<# before the whistle blew and 1 gave Max a strong upper cut, and knocked him againat the rail*. (N. B. The ring waa composed of h vacant hog pen.) Aa soon a* Mux 1 got up, he rushed Mike and they 1 clinched. The referee pulled them 1 apart, and removed 8 wire nail* from 1 Mike's right glove, and a whet-rock from Max'a left glove. Then the 1 whistle blew again. Score: 1 hit, 1 run. Second Hound: Mike und Max both dunced around in tne center of the pen, and while Mike waa blowing his nose, Max gave him a hard kick in the seat of his pants?and the ^ impact knocked 3 fails from the ring, i Mike retaliated Uy catching Max by I his thick black hair while he biffed I him with his brogans on the shins and -knee caps. Lou could not get Mike to turn Jdax's hair loose, ao he ; got a pair sheara and cut the bunch of hair off ao'a the fight could proceed. Score: 2 hita, 2 runa f> errors. Third Hound: Max rushed Mike and struck him on the head with u piece of stove wood'which he had concealed in his over-alls, Mike showed a come-back by grabbing Max around the neck and biting a big chunk of hamburger from his left eur. Max then kicked Mike in the stummick, and it looked like a knockout, but the apparent end of the fight was due to the fact that the concussion of the contact of the knee of Max was so sudden and unexpected that Mike swallowed his squid of Browns Mule, and naturally that dazed him for a few seconds. Score: No hits, 1 run, 7 errors. . Fourth Hound: Mike landed several heavy blows on the referee's left jaw and butted him in the right side before he found that Lou was not Max, and while Mike was backing away from Max to avoid a drive to the eye, he stumbled over a slop bucket and fell sprawling, and Max landed on top of him and proceeded to jally-fiah his face, but Lou managedT to pull? him off with the help of all 3 of the audience. At this juncture, the bets shifted from 5 cents on Mike to 10 cents on Max. Fifth Round: Neither one of the fighters was able to get up during this round, so the whistle blew, and the seventh round began. Max threw a rock at Mike, and hit Lou on the head, Mike spat in Max's face, and jerked his suspenders off, and while Max was holding up his britches, Mike beat the lard out of him with his left, and while neither waa knocked out, Mike got the decision. "CrossEyed" Capon stood in Mike's corner, during the fight, and some think that influenced the referee who owes Capon 3 dollars, therefore the fight may be held again in April. Score: 7 hits, 2 runs, G errors, including the ; referee's decision. Stamp Clerk's Tragic End X<> human agency is immune from : mistakes. Postofiice inspectors visited ' the branch postoffice at Harrison, New .Jersey, and in chocking up the accounts of. Arthur Kubler, stamp clerk, found him $20 short. They then turned their attention to other : departments of the office. This stampclork had been on the job 20 years; he was G4 years of age. Press dispatches state that his ; principal pride was that his record for ^onesty and accuracy was unimpeachable. At that age ami with a : score of years of faithful service be; hind him. he suddenly saw his ambitions, aims and dreams collapse. His ranking superiors in the scrv- 1 ice had found him short. It was not within bis province to challenge their findings.
