You are beginning to get that attack of indigestion. Hang the thing anyway! Then you go to bed, of course, leaving the tubes turned on in order to wear down the batteries more quickly. K-5 41 ON THE RIVER By Lee Fahringer At twilight - Drifting on the river, Not a breath of air Disturbs the calm. The boat glides softly on With scarce a motion, For just one moment, The whole world seems still. Then comes the night breeze Rippling the watersg Far across the stream We hear the deep tones of a bull-frog. Slowly we paddle back, Thoughtful, and awed, Having communed with the twilight. 1.94, Mary M.: Why weren't you at the dance the other night? Jessie Z.: Oh, I cancelled the date when I saw how abominable Ruch's hair looked with my new cherry frockf'

THE MIRROR Page Q7 gtadio gtacket .fy clQ7yatt q1Dilliams Sure, you have one. Everybody has. You got yours about six months ago, after all your friends had gone wild over neutrodynes, monodynes, and supedynes. When everybody was talking about regenerative circuits, and loop aerials, and amplification, and you not knowing a loud speaker from a vacuum tube, felt distinctly out of it. It was then that you got a friend to wise you up, and next ordered a big set from the corporation down the street. It was installed while you were at the office one day, and that evening, a slick young man called to show you how to run it. Next evening, you hurry through your supper-in- cidcntally bringing on a later attack of indigestion-and take your seat in front of the panel of shining knobs. You turn this, and that, a dismal screech assailing your ears. Then, oh rapture of raptures: This is station B A M of-f-f. There it goes. Then silence. Next, An' the little bunny ran through the big woods. The old fox-- Bah, you cut it off, much disgruntled. An exhilarating WWWWhhhhheeeeeeee reverberates in your ears-some helpful neighbor tuning in. Next you hear, by stages, the complete installation of a boiler factory, done in Bb. Station X Y Z, Chicago, Illinois. You just listened to Miss gr-r-r-r Smith sing, The Old Oaken Bucket. Our next number will be the sCWow! screechlbing of Dreamy Melody by Miss Smith. Station X-. You turn the knob to clear it up a bit. Silence, dur- ing the usual moment of waiting, while you anticipate the weck's most popular song. Then clear, and loud, to your ears comes: I The natives of the Congo, although in a practically undeveloped state, are? You have turned the accursed thing too far. Vainly you begin to search for Dreamy Melody. Hudson R. R. quoted at 88 7-8 late to--fYowl. Oh I love her in the morning and I l-wow Scre-e-e-c-h. u -are moving eastward with gr-r-reat velocity.

THE MIRROR Page '29 5Vlal7-gongg--fgzn gnterpretation fy f9Vfae Qonbam Like racing, the game is expensive, and the odds are against everyone from the start. The one thing in your favor, if you are a beginner, is that everyone else is a be- ginner too. To be an expert, one should possess a speaking knowledge of Chinese, a knowledge of botany Qwhich will enable you to appreciate the species of flora which you will indubitably encounterjg a Ph. D. degree in meteorology fthe game makes use of all the four windsj, and a bank account like an artist's canvas iso that you can draw on itj. Four person participate, as in bridge, mixed doubles, a four plate dinner, or almost any other recreation you please, including a Petri quartette. It is like a Petri quar- tette because four voices are generally raised in discord causing considerable confusion most of the time. Mah-Jongg, I hear is the Chinese for sparrow, My comment is that I never before heard a sparrow called a Mah-Jongg. And Ibis, who is somewhat of a bird himself, says that he never heard of the creature. If you go out to dinner, and the hostess offers you a box of little square things that look like caramels, beware! They are Mah-Jonggs. And celery? No you are making a mistake. They're Mah-Jongg sticks, and they ruin fillings when you bite into them. You may not believe me when I say that the game actually exists. If you are in doubt just ask one of these smart Metropolitan matrons featured in Town Topics, she'll tell you the joys of crap-shooting are as nothing com- pared to those of this newer pastime. C241 Ruth P.: You are certain that this century plant will bloom in a hundred years ? Florist: Positive of it, Miss. If it doesn't bring it back.
