Page 8 Verhovayak Lapja August 8, 1940 THE HUMOROUS VEIN “Stand behind your lover false woman” thundered the Scotsman, “I’m going tc shoot you both.” GOOD REASON After a long talk on the value of peace, good will and disarmament a River­side teacher asked the class if they objected to war. “Yes, sir, I do!” said one boy. “Good! Now tell us why.” “Because,” said the boy, “wars made history, and I hate history.” ALIKE One man calls his sweetie “Taxi” because it costs so much to get any place with her. BAD EITHER WAY “You look very downcast.” “Yes; my wife has been away for six weeks and I wrote her every week and said I spent the evenings at home.” “Well?” “She is back now and the light bill has come in—it’s for 50c!” Then there’s the improvi­dent gentleman who bought storage batteries for gifts because he could charge ’em. SAYING A rookie in the navy had been cautioned by the Chief Engineer, a Scot, against squandering a drop of oil or a scrap of waste. Later he was examined and one of the questions asked was what to do if the ship was sinking. “First I’d grab the oil can, then the waste, and then I’d find my life preserver and jump.” She had no principle, but gosh how she drew interest! THE OLD HEN Molly: “You may not be­lieve it, my dear, but during the past month I have said ‘No!’ to about a dozen men.” Polly: “Really? Those hawkers are a nuisance, aren’t they?” Says the father to pro­spective son-in-law: * “The boy who gets my daughter will certainly get a prize.” And says the prospective: “May I see it, please?” ORIGINAL CROSS WORD College Chum: “How do /ou pass away your time in ;he long winter evenings— with some sort of a puzzle, I luppose?” Victim: “Yeh—the one I married.” Hey—“Aren’t you wild about bathing beauties?” Hay—“I don’t know, I never bathed one.” HIGH FINANCE “A penny for your thoughts,” she remarked. “I was just thinking of going home.” “Give him a dollar, Mary,” her father called from the top of the stairs. “It’s a bargain.” NEW DATING SCHEME “Lost: a lead pencil by Jennie Weems, blonde, blue eyes, five feet four inches, good dancer. Finder please call H-1722 between seven and eight P. M.” Remember way back when girls used to ask each other if their peticoats showed? HIS FAREWELL “I shall miss you while you are on your hunting trip, dear,” said the young wife affectionately, “and I shall pray that the hunters you are going with will do the same.” In Hollywood husbands are almost as hard to keep as secrets. DEEP QUESTION Dad: My boy, always re­member that whatever you attempt there is only one way to learn and that is to begin at the bottom. There are no exceptions to that rule. Son: None at all, Dad? Dad: No, son. Son: How about swim­ming? THE TRAP afterWife—I didn’t run you. Hubby—Listen! A trap doesn’t run after a mouse; still, it catches it! LIKE AN AUTOMOBILE Mother (distractedly): “Oh, I don’t know what I’m going to do if the baby doesn’t stop crying.” Little Brother: “Didn’t you get a book of directions with him, Mom?” “Did you say your hus­band was fond of those clinging gowns?” ^Yes, he likes one to cling to me for about three years.” GOT THAT WAY Howell—“A good deal de­pends on the formation of early habits.” Powell—“I know it; when I was a baby my mother hired a woman to wheel me about and I have been pushed for money ever since.” AUGUST 11TH, SUNDAY. — Canton, Ohio. — Picnic and dancing to the music of Albert Tamas Orchestra, to be held jointly by the Canton Asso­ciation, the Industrial Club and Branch 64, at Transylvania Gar­den.

It isn’t hard to guess what everybody’s favorite colors are right now... and when we say everybody, we mean not only your sisters and your cousins and your aunts, but your brothers and your fathers and your uncles, too. The colors are red, white and blue, and you’re going to see them in smart mater­ials, in belts and pins, acces­sories and everything you can think of. Patriotic in­signia will make your new lapel gadgets really mean something... They won’t be passing novelties, either ... you’ll keep them all your life. So get into red, white and blue. Remember it’s a combination that’s not only patriotic, but very good­­looking as well. 4 * * Year in and year out, black has held its own as fashion’s favorite ... but for a long time a lot of us have been secretly praying for its demise.
