My auto 'tis of three,
Short cut to poverty.
Of thee I chant;
I blew a pile of dough
On you two years ago;
Now you refuse to go,
Or won't, or can't
Gone is my bank roll now,
No more 'twould choke the cow,
As once before.
Yet if I had the mon,
So help me John-amen,
I'd buy a car again
And speed some more!
Every Norman I,ady
Should se« those

^the newspapers publishing it, say-1cK^y,
"An American newspaper that j
would publish a story of that
kind in a situation like the one j
which now confronts America,
dishonors itself."
Mr. Tumulty takes himself entirely
too serious. Of course it is understood
that as brevet-president he largely!
shapes the President's policies, but
he s bitten off more than he can chew
if he expects to censorize the Ameri-
