TOPICAL TITBITS

A woman may be taken for granted, but she never goes without saying.— ‘•Wall Street Journal.” For sale probably best cook in Tokyo. Employer forced to go on diet to avoid obesity.—Ad. in the Japan “Advertiser” (Tokyo), A Glen Cove man wants to find some place where women don’t smoke cigarettes. Well there’s the north pole. —New York “Evening Post.” A doctor tells us that the less a woman wears the more she eats. That helps to explain Eve and the apple.— “Punch.” We suppose one’s opinion as to which is the wettest city depends a good deal on which city one knows most about. —Ohio State “Journal.” International athletic contests are advocated as an aid to world peace. This would be reasonable if somebody would invent a contest which both sides could win.—San Dl*go “Union.” A clothing trade journal declares that women were never so well dressed as they are to-day, which may be the truth, but it is stretched pretty thin. Columbus “Dispatch.” No Further Use For Him.—Driver of Bus (to conductor, whom he has called up): “Jim, th’ ol gent behind’s just fell hoff!” Conductor: “All right, Bill; ’e’s paid his fare.” Poor Old U.S.—A small boy was taken by his father to Washington to visit Congress. He was much interested in the chaplain, who always opened the sessions with a prayer. Both in the Senate and the House he had observed this procedure. Finally, he asked: “Papa, why does the minister come in every day and pray for Congress?” You’ve got it all wrong, son,” replied his father. “The minister comes in every day, looks over Congress, and then prays for the country.” '~r. tA ty; v\~ rr rr yfc yfc rH Kt
