"Darling, if you marry me, I'll
;satisfy your smallest wishes."
"And what do you propose to do
about the big ones?"
Changebale
Throughout the evening meal,
neither. had spoken. But as soon
as the dishes had been cleared
away and they were seated before
the fire, the husband's face lost
some of its hardness.
"You know, dear," he said,
breaking the long silence, "I've
been thinking over our argument"
"Well!" she snapped, without
looking up from her sewing.
"Yes, dear, I've decided to agree
with you after all," he said meekly.
"That won't be any good," she
sniffed. "Ive changed my mind."
All With "H"
American Woman (to English
Lady) —"What a large family you
have, Mrs. Jones."
English Lady— "Yes'm and the
funniest thing is that all the navies
begin with a haitch. There's Or -
ace, Erbert, Enry, Ugh, Ubert, Ar -
old, Arriett and Etty — all except
the last one, and we had her nam-
ed Halice."
Fishy
Mrs. Young, passing the fish-
monger whilst out shopping, stop-
ped to make a complaint. .
"Those soles I bought from you
yesterday, Mr. Jones, were not
fresh."
"Well, ma'am," answered Mr.
Jones, "that's your fault, not mine.
I've offered them to you every day
this week, and you could've 'ad
them on Monday if you'de liked.
Missing Fixture
"Where's your rear light?" de-
manded the traffic cop.
The drive climbed down from
his cab and walked to the back of
his truck. He peered in all direc-
tions for a second or two, and
then stood scratching his head.
"Well, what 'about it?" demand-
ed the cop, extracting his note-
book.
"1 dunno. I had a—"
"Now, you can't tell me that
tale", remarked the officer, grim-
ly. "Anybody can see you haven't
had a light there because there's
no bracket."
"Yes," said the driver, "but look
here.—"
"No good making excuses," said
the cop. "You've no light and
that's that."
"That's not what I'ni worrying
about," answered the driver sad-
ly. "What I'd like to know is—
where in the world is my trailer?"
Single Thought
Tint: 'What was the cause of
the collision at that corner today?"
Jim: "Two motorists after the
same pedestrian."
Suspicious Guest
A prosperous but frugal Irish-
man stopped for a while at a cer-
tain famous New York hotel,
where accommodations are splen-
did but expensive beyond all im-
agination.
"Pat," remarked a friend, "I sup-
pose you are enjoying the advan-
tages of this wonderful place to
the limit. 13y the way, do you put
your shoes outside your door at
night to be blacked?"
"Begorra, no," replied the genial
Irishman. "I'm 'afraid they'll gild
'em !"
The Genius
"Dad, it says here that certain
man was a financial genius. What
does that mean?"
"That he could earn money
faster than his family could spend
it."
Modern
Father had decided that he must
administer a stern lecture to his
six-year-old son. The boy had
been naughty, •but did not seen to
appreciate the fact and it was with
some reluctance that the parent un-
dertook a scolding,
He spoke judiciously but sev-
erely; he recounted the lad's mis-
deeds, and explained the whys and
wherefores of his solemn rebuke,
while his wife sat by, duly im-
pressed,
Finally, when the father paused
for breath and incidentally to hear
the culprits acknowledgment of er-
ror, the lad, his face beaming with
admiration, turned to his mother
and said: "Mother, isn't father in-
teresting?"
Sort of Handicap
"Those new people across the
road seem very devoted," said Mrs.
Jones to the newspaper which hid
her husband.
• A rustle of the sheet was all the
reply she got, but she was used to
that.
"Every time he goes out he
kisses her, and goes on throwing
kisses all down the road. Edward,
why don't you do that?"
"Me?" snorted the man behind
the news. "I don't know hcrl"

One of John's best friends had
died, so he called on the widow to
express his sympathy.
"Jim and I were friends," he
said. "Isn't there something I
could have a memento of him?"
She raised her velvety brown
eyes, which a few seconds before
had been wet with tears.
"1 -low would I do?" she mur-
mured.
Too Safe
One morning a young clerk re-
ported to his chief that he had lost
the key of the safe, so he could
not get at the important books and
documents.
"But I gave you a duplicate
key," said the chief. "Yolr haven't
lost that as well, I suppose?"
"No, sir, I know where that is!'
"Well, then, you can open the
safe."
"Please, sir, I thought I might
lose the duplicate key, so I put it
in the safe!"

W,P.T13, Chairman Donald Gor-
don has warned that a high ,wage
Pattern,lwill mean the end of price
control' in Canada. It would be
criminal if 25 percent of Canadian
workers were responsible for put-
ting the 75 percent into a hole like
that.

Prices Involved
Farmers say sales of fresh fruit -
are being effected by the shortage
of sugar for preserving, and com-
plain that "10 pounds isn't enough."
Some people, even at this date,
seen to have difficulty in getting
the idea that there is a world
shortage of sugar and will be for
some time come, and that bewail-
ing the fact will not make a particle
of improvement. Also, it may have
occurred to the objective observer
that the prices may have something
to do with the sales!

When Genius Goes To Work
Alexander Hamilton once said to
an intimate friend: "Men give me
some credit for genius. When 1
have a subject in hand 1 study it
profoundly. Day and night it is be-
fore me. I explore it in all its bear-
ings. My mind becomes pervaded
with it. Then the efforts which I
make the people are pleased to call
the fruits of genius. It is the fruit
of labor and thought."

School for Husbands
The Illinois State Fair is con-
ducting a cooking school for war
brides. Fifty-one have registered
from England, Australia, Ireland,
Wales and French Morocco.
Since the fair is taking care of
the brides' education, we shall
limit our own efforts to the edu-
cation of their husbands. This is it.
Eat what she cooks and pretend
to like it, even if it kills you. It
really won't, and you will live hap-
pily ever after.

Shoemakers To Strike?
Refusal of the U. S. Office of
Price Administration to decontrol
or raise price ceilings on hides,
leather and footwear means, the
industry says, that 250,000 shoe
workers in the country will be out
of work by the end of the month.
The manufacturers say they cannot
carry on at present prices.
