There is no doubt any more
as to how to pronounce the
name of Tunney. Tbe reports
that he i3 leaving the ring with
$2,000,000 in his pockets make
it sure that it is pronounced to
rhyme with money!
A blind man regained his
sight in the chair of a barber
shop while getting a massage.
Male vanity being what it is,
ws guess the miracle was ac-
complished through the sheer
intensity of. his desire to see
himself “prettied up.”
It doesn’t take the reports
of airplane companies to con-
vince us that women are get-

Now that trans-oceanic tele-
phone communication is possi-
ble, the operators will be giving
us the wrong country instead
of the wrong number!
Texas Guinan, who origi-
nated the phrase “Give the Lit-

But it’s the hand of the law.
A party of marathon dancers
from New York to Bridgeport,
Ct., on a motor bus. Probably
some of the bumpy roads led to
many accidental discoveries of

Perhaps Gene Tunney left
the prize Ying because he grew
tired of the necessity of read-
ing all those classics.

When a Mole Hits An Auto—
Pity the Auto!
Wichita Falls, Tex., Aug.
James Yeager uf this city was
traveling near Childress in
the western part of the state

for several yards. The mule
climbed down and scampered
away when the car was stop-
ped.
The car had to be towed
into Childress. Inspection re-
vealed that so many repairs
would bf needed that it was
necessary to leave the car
there for several days.

Thought "Murder Clues’*
Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug.-
Brooklyn’s great murder mys-
tery has petered out.
Detectives discovered that

severed hand was declared to
be of wax.
And so the detectives called
it a day!
