Quite the feature of the evening was the performance of Police Officer liallas Mahoney. it seems that i>alln3 has been trailing tho rest of tho coppers in tho weekly target practice but according to all reports ho took top honors in the mastication contest in j the M. and K. restaurant. "Casey" j Jones, not ho of the immortal story of the train wreck, but the smiling blue coat who holds forth at Broadway and DoKalb, safe-gparded all langer of a Mahoney offensive by removing his plpte of goodness to tho end of tho table. "I'm not tuklng any chances with that man's appetite" quoth Casey. Well, anyway, seven burly minions of the law, under escort of Sunny Jim Raley of the "Make Highways 3h1ne" hrigade wore guests of the M. and K. laddies In the annual steak disappearing act and believe you me, It was a real feed. "Nice ^juicy steaks, oyster cocktails, Balads to tempt the palate of the most exacting connoisseur, ice cream, steaming pots of Java and -oh yes, a bottle . of theaml^r fluid made from hops and malt" recounted Chief, Rush. Just about the time this reporter was finishing up on the story of the coppers banquet. Fire Chief Brevard Boykin called up to inform us that the police department did not have any monopoly on steak dinners, that ills group had been entertained by these same M, and K. boys tho preceding Thursday at a steak dinner, which was Just as good as that served to Chief Rush and co-workers. So gentle reader, the reason you gllmmed a big bright red fire truck in front of the M. and K. a week ago last Thursday and a police car there last Thursday ? the answer Is "steak dinner." The collection of cigarette cards as a hobby has grown to such popularity that huge nuiun aiu paid for rare sets. | Send IJour Best Qirl > A JJox of ^LOWERS Nothing expresses so beautifully your affection as a gift of flowers.
