in Conoco oil keeping the metal oil-plated,
you’d say the fine finish receives special pro-
tection to fight the adds off. When you see

BOUNCING BABY BOY
Did you hear about the Mamma
and Papa Kangaroo who went for
a walk with Baby?
Baby kept jumping in and out
of her carriage, and after a while
Papa Kangaroo got a little mad.
“Listen,” he stormed, “if he does-
n’t stop that, I’m going to spank
him.”
“Now darling, don’t get ang-
ry.” Mammma Kangaroo soothed.
“It’s not the poor dear’s fault.
It's just that I’ve got the hic-
cups.”
