ACCORDING to The Star, the food officer
of a Yorkshire town drew up an appeal “to
the 30,000 laggards who may fail to apply
till the last moment.”

The appeal was sent by telephone to the
printers, where it was taken down by a very
young operator, who typed “to the 30,000
blaggards, who may fail,” ete.

The message was returned to the tele-
phone room, and, in the absence of the
erring typist, was conned by another dam-
sel. “How silly of Peggy!” she exclaimed.
“It ought to be spelt blackguards!”

A FAMOUS statesman visiting an aero-
plane factory addressed the 17-year-old
worker:

“How many fighters have you helped to
turn out?”

“One and a half, sir.”

“Capital, my boy, keep it up.”

“How many fighters have you helped to
turn out?” the middle-aged man was asked.

“Two and a half, sir.”

“Splendid, keep it up.”

“And how many fighters have you helped
to turn out?”

“Twenty, sir,” said the aged man proudly.

“Magnificent, magnificent, keep it up.”
. The distinguished visitor gone, the fore-
man said to the old man:

“What did you mean by telling Mr. —
you had helped to make twenty fighters?”

“Did he say fighters?” quavered the old
man. “I thought he said lighters.”

A SHIPWRECKED traveller was washed
up on a small island. He was terrified at
the thought of cannibals, and explored with
the utmost stealth. Discovering a thin wisp
of smoke above the scrub he crawled
towards it fearfully, in apprehension that

it might be from a camp fire of savages.

But as he came close, a voice rang out
sharply:

“Why in hell did you play that card?”

The castaway, already on his knees, raised
his hands in devout thanksgiving.

“Thank God,” he exclaimed brokenly,
“they're Christians!” — Reforming Pillar,
