GOOD JOKES

THE ONLY COMPETITION. "Bob.” Jones, the eloquent southern evangelist, was condemning New York. “The only difference I can see between New York and hades,” said Reverend Bob, “is that New York is surrounded by water. “Why, even in your New York offices you don’t work. Look at your offices —crowds of young men in pink silk hose, crowds of young women in low-cut and transparent. blouses. “I said in a New York office the other day: “ ‘ls there much competition here?* “A pretty stenographer, swinging her foot in and out of her slashed skirt, laughed and answered merrily: “‘Oh, yes, there’s lots of competition —between the office mirror and the office clock.’” —St. Louis GlobeDemocrat,
