Inhabitants of the Moon Must
Be At War
The moon staged a “blackout”
1 early Monday night of this week
and we shouldn’t be at all sur-
prised if they are not having
one of these rotten mean wars
there. The moon’s blackout was
just about total and happened
about 8 o’clock, daylight saving
time. 1
I don’t know whether they are
.bombing on the mbon or not and
" will leave If to these SciCOttst
to determine because the major-
ity of the world seems to always
