By Any Other Names
The blue-jacket picked up the telephone and
dialed a number.
“Hello, baby, this is Gideon.”
“Who?” asked the gii'l.
“Gideon,” he answered.
“I can’t understand you.”
“Listen,” said the sailor. “It’s Gideon—
G for gin, I for ice, D for drink, E for excess,
0 for off duty, and N for nothing to do. Get
that?”
“Well, I still don’t know who you are,” re
plied the girl, “but it sounds interesting, so
come on over.”
A Chicago gangster took it into his head to
send his son to school. They arrived at the
principal’s study.
“What you got?” asked the father.
“Sir, we offer arithmetic, trigonometry,
spelling, etc.”
“Waal, give ’im triggernometry. He’s de
woist shot in de family!”

On The Lighter Side
The Bridegroom Was A Sailor
The happy bridgeroom wore a charming
sailor suit of dark material said to be the same
he wore shortly after being sworn into the
Navy, although he would neither confirm nor
deny this sentimental touch.
This attractive suit consisted of two pieces,
a jumper and pants.
The jumper, beautifully draped about the
shoulders and tastefully gathered under the
arms, had a deep V neck line which showed a
generous expanse of white underwear. It was
gracefully fashioned without pockets.
The trousers were of the same dark ma
terial, suspended from the waist, and falling
in a straight line almost to the knees, where
they flared out into bell bottoms.
Thirteen buttons adorned the front, and the
rear was tied with black rayon ribbon. The
suit’s severe simplicity was relieved by an
artistic touch of black hole-proof hosiery show
ing nattily between the bottom of the trousers
and the genuine leather shoe tops.
Final attractive touches were provided by
two clever accessories which did not match—
a loosely flowing cravat tied tightly over the
Adam’s Apple, and a novel, but undoubtedly
smart, small white hat, which was worn pre
cariously throughout the ceremony perched on
the back of the bridegroom’s head.
—The Memflite
A salty ofl^cer just in from sea walked up to
a young man in a neatly tailored slate gray
uniform at an air station and asked: “Where’s
the master at arms?” The casual reply was,
“I dunno.” Trying again, the officer asked,
“Where’s the officer of the day?” Again the
laconic reply, “I dunno.” A little annoyed, the
officer said, “Young man, don’t you even know
enough to say ‘sir’ when addressing a superior
officer?” “Take it easy, bub,” said the gray
uniformed young man, “I’m just here to sell
Coca Cola!”
One of the inmates in an insane asylum was
causing quite a disturbance, when the guard
asked him what the trouble was.
“I’m Hitler! I’m Hitler!” he kept repeating.
“That’s the craziest thing I ever heard of,”
the guard replied. “What makes you think
you’re Hitler?”
“God told me so!” the patient insisted—to
which a nearby inmate stoutly objected, “I
never said any such thing!”
