Swimming lessons under personal supervision of H. VV. Iacobus fbreast stroke specialistj Sandwiches, cocktails, desserts, etc., served at the floating bar in the Pool. Sometimes the manager, Mr. Jacobus, takes time out to fill a R Conly for personal friendsj. The girls' classes are limited to those of ages 17-21. They must pass a rigid physical examination before being admitted. Ana' now for the fool profrer. The interior is of pure Chinese vermillion jade and white Italian marble. The water is obtained by a special arrangement with the River des Peres. Before entering the tank, however, it is oxygenized and uncontaminated. As the aqua enters the pool, an immense -ultraviolet ray plays upon it. This has an unknown infiuence upon the water. The management has a special oxidizing substance which is poured on the water to standardize it. This is a wonderful reducing agent. W'omen come from miles around to receive its wholesome effects. It has unlocked the doors of eternal happiness to many busi- ness women and old maids. Their renumerative ability has increased ten-fold or 1-cent-fold. Of course, some women are idiosyncratic to this great discovery. It me1'ely turns- their skin green, their teeth fall out and their hair become nzangy and Crinkly. Incidentally, admission is obtained to this establishment by card only, which must be signed and countersigned by Jacobus Uack Iacobusj.

Oh,Oh,Ohl just then another siren screams on the streets, a riot squad car stops abruptly at the curb. Ten or ll uniformed patrolmen from headquarters jump to the side- walk. They are armed with sub-machine guns, tommies, gas mask, gas bombs, machine guns, regulation pistols and knives and forks. They rush unceremoniously into the drug store. A grizzle haired ol' s-argent runs swiftly into the back room of the Little Drug Store of Times Square. The lantern jaw lights up with amazement. The eyes dilate just as in T. manifestation of Scapolionnic poisoning. Tisk, Tisk, Tisk, he chuckles. W'hat ho! There seems to be something amiss here. Then he turns the dead man over with his foot. A gasp of astonishment issues from underneath his General Pershing moustache. SARG.: In all my years of shaking down speakeasies on Broadway have I witnessed such a sight. My, my! Dear Morris, you are a hero. Do you know who yonder corpse is? M.: No, Sire. SARG.: IV ell, sure and bejabbers it's Tony Potello, the notorious imposter and chicken thief. Feared by police from East St. Louis to Paris. . M.: But I've strangled him-I must pay the supreme penalty, all my work and slavery at St. L. C. of P. has been in vain. Alas, Dear, Dear. SARC.. : On the contrary, buddy, you're lucky. Tony Potello has been sentenced to die. I-Ie should have been hung Tuesday the 10th at ll 205, but he escaped from the death house. The hangman has been in a quandary, he can't make that 25 bucks for the hanging. The new Chevrolet will go back, he'll miss a payment. Do you know what this blackguarcl just went an' done? M.: No. SARG. : Why, an hour ago, when questioned by a traffic cop on a traffic offence, he picked the cop up motorcycle and all and threw him in to the River des Peres. He is indeed a knave. I-Ie then ran and held up a bank and was shot in the head by the sophisticated steno. He was truly a Wicked man, but has now received his just due. All is well. SARG. Qto officersj : Remove your hats, men. They do. And, my brave boy, you will receive the 25 smackers that the hangman should have got. FINALE. fEntire company sings St. L.
