As the life of it tacked down the street, listing heavily to starboard, he chuckled happily as he recalled the merry time he had had. He was so preoccupied with his thoughts, in fact, that he didn’t notice the verti cal iron rods that formed a circle of protection for the trunk of a tree growing by the curb. He collided with them rather heavily but man aged to grasp one of them to keep from falling. He surveyed the situation for a moment then grasped the next rung and cautiously followed the rods until he had toured the tree four times. Finally he halted and looked de spairingly through the rods. He spied a man across the street and shouted, “Hey, lemme outta this thing, will ya?” A USUAL PLAYER Two ghosts were playing poker when a knock came at the door. “Who is it?” they asked. “Rigor Mortis—may I sit in?” Perilous Place It was the freshmen’s first day on the campus of a big college. As he passed the chemistry laboratory, he saw four students carrying a fifth one. “What happened?” asked the freshman excitedly. -r- “Oh, he took chloroform,” a stu dent explained. “Gee whiz!” exclaimed the fresh man, “if these courses are as dan gerous as that, I’d better go back home.” Adequate Substitutes “I can’t understand why you seem to be so happy and content ed,” remarked the spinster’s neph ew. “I always thought that unmar ried ladies were grouchy and irri table.” “Well,” she explaii^d, smiling, “I’ve got a fireplace that smokes, a parrot that swears, a cat that stays out half the night and a dog that barks. What more do I want?” Experienced At a parent-teachers’ meeting one aggressive woman insisted on hold ing the platform minute after min ute. Time dragged on. Finally one bored man turned to the one beside him. * “Can’t anything be done to shut that woman up?” he growled. “I’ve been trying for 20 years without much success,” replied her husband sadly. WITH WRINKLES Howard was very fond of raisins, and whenever his mother brought rolls from the bakery, he would pick all the raisins out when he thought no one was looking. His uncle caught him at this trick one day, and thinking it would break him of the habit, told him they were bugs. Several days later, Howard and his mother were having dinner at a downtown restaurant. The man at a table opposite was eating a dish of prunes. Much to the embarrassment of his mother, Howard asked in quite a loud voice, “Mother, can I have some of those GREAT BIG BUGS like that man is eating?” Much Safer Dorothy had so many boy friends she didn’t know which to choose. It occurred to her to ask her father’s advice. "Daddy,” she crooned, “what kipd of a husband should I look for?” "Well, if I were you, I wouldn’t look for a husband at all. It’s too dangerous. Take my advice and choose a single man.” Poor Competition A pretty model was a little sur prised when the artist kissed her, but considerably more so when he claimed that she was the first model he had ever kissed. “Yes?” she asked incredulously. “How many models have you had before?” “Six,” he replied. “A grapefruit, two bananas, a cow, a rock and a mud turtle.” Hunger Strike A tramp who had heard that fat ladies were generous almsgivers ap proached an especially obese one and went into his act. “Lady,” he begged, “please help me. I’m penniless and starving. I haven’t eaten in four days.” “Four days!” exclaimed the wom an. “My land, I wish I had your will power!” SEWING CIRCLE PAHERNS Scallops and Puffed Sleeves Slenderizing Frock CREATED especially for the more mature figure is this beautifully slenderizing daytime frock.

One more row to hoe The boy from the farm is on foreign soil today! Instead of overalls, he’s wearing his country’s uniform. He’s standing watch over the hard-won peace. He’s safeguarding your future! At heart, he’s still that farm boy. His laughter sounds the same—when he can laugh. He still goes for cokes and cakes—when he can get them. And he still gets mighty homesick—when he has nothing else to do but think of home. Your USO has one more row to hoe. Another round of laughs to plant. Another crop of cheer. Your USO needs your help, as much as ever. For millions of American boys still need the USO. They need the camp shows and clubhouses—the hours of relaxation and entertainment—a place to hang their hats and loosen their belts. They need to know that the folks back home are still thinking of them—are still willing to pitch in and make their task a lighter one. Tell the farm boy you’re with him—every step of the way. Say it through the USO. Say it with dollars! Keep it up
