MIND YOUR Ps AND Q’s
You have to, Mrs. Housewife, for this is a very practical, insistent world;
and

BRIEFS
A number of operators who are lay
ing up treasures on earth won’t need
it to buy coal in the place they’re go
ing.
Many a man who doesn’t believe in
advertising feels like the whole world
sees it when his name is misspelled in
the paper.
If there is one type of citizen we
enjoy dodging it is the one who has
the kind of religion that makes him
gloomy.
As a matter of fact the average
woman is only cross when pay-day
comes and her husband doesn’t come
across.
When LaFolIette speaks the sen
ate chamber is so quiet that one might
hear a pin drop, if there were anyone
present to drop tt.
The lessons your mother learned at
her mother’s knee had nothing to do
with the price of silk stockings and
.automobile coats.
Funny how fast things change in
this country. Before the war a fellow
referred to it as a “position” and now
he calls it a “job.”
The man who boasts he understands
the income tax and is entirely familiar
with the Einstein theory is not a won
der. He is merely a liar.
And then, again, a man might be
able to answer all of Edison’s ques
tions, and still not have enough sense
to come in out of the rain.
Never before in the history of Vass
has there been such a demand for
houses as at present. Who will be
the first one to build a bungalow ?
Why is it that when a sculptor
drapes one of his subjects in lonir
pants he always selects a pair that
look as though they belong to Bill
Bryan ?
Another thing we are going to quit
trying to understand is why the sugar
market is at its lowest level when
there is going to be a shortage of
fruit.
When a man starts out to make a
monkey of himself he usually does the
job up so thoroughly that he leaves
no room for the charge of nature-
faking.
We began to have an uncomfort
able feeling that foxy Edison played a
mean trick on the newspapers by get
ting a lot of free advertising with his
foolish questions.
We can stand a whole lot without
wanting to fight, but when Germany
starts talking about the “spotless
purity of her good name” we are in
favor of going to war again.
Sir Conan Doyle says he has a
photograph of Sir William Crookes
showing him “walking arm in arm
with an angel.”—This ought to prove
interesting to Sir William’s widow.
We sometimes wonder whether re
lations are as cordial as they seem
among the staffs of newspapers
whose specialists kid each other back
and forth in their own columns.
When all is said Edison’s questions
were curiously incomplete. In these
days no man can be considered edu
cated or well informed unless he
knows the answer to the question,
“How much does a quart of hooch
cost?”—Phila. Inquirer. Another
question the inventor might have
asked, but didn’t, is “How does Edison
get that way ?”
