mean-
Wagoner did this cartoon.
An explanation of what it all means
doesn't seem to be necessary but there
is a little more space that the printer
wants filled and no time at all to assem-
ble ideas to fill it.
Maybe somebody told this poor lad
that there wasn't any Santa Claus.
Maybe he hadn't received sufficient con-
sideration on board this ship.
Maybe he was just born that way and
is trying in a humble way to find out
what it's all about. He looks goofy
enough.
Maybe he's just a hard guy who got
in someb -dy's way.
Maybe he's married and his wife does
not love him any more.
Maybe he just wanted some freshwater and found it was all gone.
And then again maybe he's just a
shrinking violet and there is no one
around who appreciates his beauty.

' 1'BUT IS IT ART.
The present character of feature films
has been given some consideration lately
and somebody who has seen The River
or something equally entertaining, has
resolved that the public should not be
entertained too well.
This has resulted in a new code of
rules which are given below
1. That crimes against law shall
never be presented in such a way to
throw sympathy with the crimes as a-
gainst law and justice.
2. Scenes of passion shall not be in-
troduced when not essential to the plot.
3. Good taste must regulate the treat-
ment of unpleasant subjects.
4. Obscenity in word, gesture, refer-
ence, song, joke or by suggestion is for-
bidden.
5. Pointed profanity is forbidden.
No one could find fault with these
rules-The question is who is going to
determine whether a scene of passion is
essential to the plot or not. What is
good taste in the treatment of unpleas-
ant subjects etc.
There ought to be a good job some-
where as movie censor for the U. S.
Navy.
i'Ae preacher was asking questions a-
round the family:
"If I saw a man beating a donkey and
stopped him doing so, what virtue would
I be showing?
"Brotherly love". Grunted Wench.

Broke the ice and fell in to his neck
They asked, "are you friz."
He said, "yes I is."

We put on the New York Blues Fri-
day afternoon.
We don't want to get into another war
in Europe. The cooties are 12 years old
now.

If they want to scrap a battleship
why not christen it with some of the
hootch they are putting out in New
York. That will do the business.

CONGRESS voted $300,000 to complete
the restoration of the old frigate Con-
stitution, more popularly known as Old
Ironsides. We ought to hang on to that
ship. Maybe after a few more disarm-
ament conferences that will be all we'll
have for a Navy.-Cbicago Tribune.
