lVlr. Hiller in Physiology class to Helen Nuttz, Now, what is your name? Helen, hesitating whether to say 'Miss Nutt' or 'l-lelen': A-Nutt!

The Commercial Man New 23rd Psalm The flivver is my car, I shall not want another. It maketh me lie down in wet places. It soileth my clothes. It leadeth me into deep waters. It leadeth me into the paths oft ridicule for its name sake. It prepareth me for a breakdown, in the presence of mine enemies. Yea, though I run through the valley, I am to-wed up the hill. I fear great evil when it is with me, its rods and its engine discomforts me. It annointeth my face with oils, its tanks running over. Surely to goodness, if the thing follow me all the days of my life, I shall dwell in the house of the insane forever.
