North Carolina, went trout fishing Mu week for the first time in his
life despite the fact that his department supervises fishing etc. . . .

WHY SO MANY t»EATHS
IN MONDAY ISSUES
Concerning this department’s reference recently to the numerous
deaths always recorded in Monday issues of The Star, Eugene Ashcraft
writes the following in his Monroe Enquirer column:
“No doubt the reason so many persona die over the week-end is
that they eat too much and get too little exercise on Sunday.”
The tip is gratis and we hope the undertakers do hot get riled' at
the butting-in.
NOW YOU
TELL ONE
A reader, signing as "Pinky,” thinks the following woulc enliven this
space:
A man who had been a guest at a fashionable hotel was paying
his bill. He looked up at the girl cashier and asked what it was she
had around her neck.
“A ribbon, of course,” she said. "Why?”
“Well,” he replied, “everything is so high around here that I thought
perhaps it was your garter.”
MARRIED WOMEN
DO NOT READ
Ask the average man why he married and sec what he says when
the assurance is given that his reply will not reach the ears of his wife.
Some month; ago a student of social problems sent cut a list of
questions, One inquiry was: “Why did you marry?
Here are some of the answers:
X replied: “That’s what I’ve been trying lor 11 years to find out.”
W. answered: “Married to get even with-my mother, but never have.”
C wrote: “Because Sarah told me that five other young men had pro
posed to her.” B's response ran: "Her father thought eignt years court
ship was about enough.'” H replied: “I was tired of buying ice creams
and candies and going to theatres, and wanted a rest. Have saved
money.” J merely wrote: “Please don't stir me up.” O answered: "Be
cause I hadn't got the experience I have now." A's reason went thus:
“Because I wanted a companion of the opposite sex. **. S—She is still
opposite.” Karl said: "I yearned for some company. We now have it all
the time." C. H. was brief: “So you're wondering, too.' And M .wrote
this: “Because I asked her if she’d have me, and she said. 'Yes.’ I’ve
been had ever since.”
did you know
—That Judge Harwood, now serving a sentence, pre»'.ded over a
Superior court term in Shelby not so many months ago and that his
flaughter, also in the State prison and a handsome ;ht was a close
friend of a prominent Shelby girl?
—That years ago, in 1902, The Saturday Evening Posi carried an
article In which it was related that the son of Rev. Tom Dixon, preacher,
lecturer and novelist, told his dad that he was “more interested in the
almighty dollar than the Almighty"?

JLhe thing I like most about Chester*
fields ... is the neat way they’re made.
It- may sound fussy . . . probably does
... but I just can’t bear to get little crumbs
of tobacco in my mouth.
“I never really enjoyed smoking until
I discovered Chesterfields. Perhaps you
have noticed how nicely they’re filled.
Every one of them is rolled just right.
“And do you know . . . the more I
smoke Chesterfields, the better I like
the taste. It’s not raw . . . and it’s not
over-sweet. It’s just sweet enough so
that you never tire of it. I find Chester
fields are really milder, tool’’
