THE STORY OF HILDA 1 — Hilda came from an old New England family. 2— Her ancestors were all Puritans. 3— There wasn’t an immodest or bizarre note in a carload. 4 — She was raised in one of those sheltered homes where long red flannel petticoats are still considered swelligant and where the women folk still go in for the bustle in a big way. 5— Her parents made her go around with her hair down her back until she was sixteen years old. They thought it wm cute. 6 — She went through school with her skirts down to her ankles, wore heavy cotton hose and slept in woolen nighties. 7— Her folks said she was the picture of Grandmother Agatha and they wanted her to be like her. Grandmother Agatha was a woman campaigner against smoking, frivolity and immodesty in dress. She thought a woman who went in bathing without stockings and a straw hat was a hussy. 8— When home from school, all Hilda heard was long parental talks on the maidenly virtues. Modesty was especially emphasized. (U— She wasn’t allowed to go to the pictures and never went to a bathing beach unchaperoned. She was told that the modern bathing girl was scandalous. 10— It was pretty tough. 11— Ultimately Hilda revolted. She ran away to the city. 12— When her parents next heard from her she was doing very nicely in a chosen career. 13— She had become a designer of smart one-piece bathing suits for young women and chairlady of a nudity cult. MORAL—You can over-emphasize anything. • • • GENERAL INFORMATION TEST Fill in the blank spaces with the proper word: The largest river in the United States is the The capital of New York Is There aredays iji a week. The first name of Jolson, the comedian. Is Ex-Kaiser Wilhelm was former ruler of The last name of an actor whose first name is Charlie and who is famed for bis custard pie throwing is • • • STUDIES IN NATURAL HISTORY The kitten is an animal With whiskers on Its nose; A little cream will stick to ’em No matter where it goes. It likes to pounce upon a mouse And smack it black and blue, But if you haven’t any mice Some codfish cakes will dp. Puppies The puppy is a lovely pet, A fact quite widely known, But I would rather have one when It gets more fully grown. • • • This Is Ambrose. He looks pretty worn. Didn’t Ambrose * always look like that? No. He wm In very good shape lot summer. Has Ambrose lost weight or sumpin? He must*have dropped 50 pounds since fall. What caused Ambrose to drop so much weight? Leaves. What kind of leaves? Tree leaves. What have tree leaves got to do with Ambrose’s dropping weight? If you Oved in the suburbs you wouldn’t ask such silly questions. Again I Mk you, what have tree leaves got to do with a loss of weight by Ambrose? Ambrose bM one of those little homes with lots of nice big trees all around the place. What of it? Well, in the fan they begin shedding, If you know what I mean. Shedding what? Shedding their summer garments. (Leave*, to you, you big stupid!) What of It? Ambrose, being conscientious about

NOVEL NOVELIST Sterne, the famous novelist and humorist of the Eighteenth century, resorted to some fantastic tricks in his first work. “Tristram Shandy." At one place, after the death of some one, there was an entirely Mack page In sign of mourning. Stars were profusely nsed, sometimes for half a page, to convey the impression that something very emotional was left out One chap ter made to comprise two pages was left blank!

keeping the premises nice and neat, has to rake them up. How often? About once a day, but it seems like every fifteen minutes. Is this a hard job? Try it and be convinced. Ambrose no sooner rakes ’em all up and piles them in the street and burns them, than the sidewalk and grounds are all covered again. Ain’t nature grand? No, you idiot! ! •• • I CURIOUS FACTS FOR 1 CURIOUS PEOPLE _— * ■■ ’ The most frequently asked question in America is, “Gotta match?” In British Guiana there is a barber who does not suggest any scalp treatments. z‘ The native American eel will not eat hay or oats. Nine out of tten lead-pencil sharpeners are out of order. A good way to prevent an electric fan from blowing the papers off your desk is to turn the desk upside down. Hay fever cannot be cured by sleeping in a field full of goldenrod. Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s middle name is Delano. A blotter will make an excellent porous plaster if you smear one side with paste and apply it to the back. Buggy-whip making has declined heavily in the past two decades. « • » WHATt’S WRONG WITH THESE SENTENCES? The young girl at the vacation resort refused to meet tfie young man when she heard he had money. “Don’t mention the advertiser," the radio announcer was instructed. “Just give ’em the program.” “Pardon me,” said the taxicab driver, after his car had been struck by a careless motorist The man who had said he would never go into the stock market again never went into it again. , “Never mind the musical program,” said the radio fan. “All I want to hear is the announcer." -» The specialist looked the patient over and did not recommend removal of tonsils. The American voter refused to cast his ballot until he had weighed ail the issues carefully and studied the speeches of each candidate. The business manager, interrupted by the office boy who had come In to demand a raise and shorter hours, smiled cheerily and granted both requests at once. The commuter made a complete round trip in a . smoking car without asking anybody to play bridge. * • • ALL ABOUT EMIL Emil was born of the most conservative people. You could go through the entire family history without encountering a man who had ever thrown caution to the winds. His father was a grade-crossing watchman on an abandoned railroad. His mother was a pioneer in the movement to make breathing through the nose compulsory. Rashness was a thing unheard of in the family. Emil’s folks not only looked before they leaped, but they awaited editorial advice from the newspapers. As a child he was never allowed * pair of skates because of a possible excursion onto thin ice. He was never allowed to have a sled because of the possibility be might fall off and get snow in his ears. In the winter months his parent* kept him indoors most of the time. They even made him sleep in a room with the windows closed. Mother made him wear rubbers when it looked like rain and he was the only boy in the neighborhood who was spanked If he went to school without an umbrella. They taught him never to take chances, especially In the winter time. Emil became so delicate that he could contract a hard cold through forgetting to button up his overcoat while passing an ice wagon. But he ultimately rebelled and fled the domicile. The folks didn’t hear anything from him for a long time. Then by chance they happened to see his pictures in the rotogravure sections. He had become one of the most daring ski jumpers in the Swiss Alps. MORAL—You can overdo anything.

WIPING OUT THE PLAGUES In the Middle ages disease was regarded as the outpouring of the wrath of God. Science has taught us that disease conforms definitely to natural laws. and has given us the knowledge whereby we can prevent epidemics and cure the sufferers. Plague killed its millions. Now we know that the germs of plague are carried by ratborne fieas, and It is only a matter of time before plague will be nothing but an evil memory. f
