But it. is not unadulterated'y funny. Idealism must be realistic and imperfect laws must cope with human imperfection. At. times the end must, in this imperfect situation, justify the means. War is wrongt but it. is b tier than something worse. So the obvious and sometimes ludicrous paradoxes of our liquor "aws unavoidably lie in the compromise of law to human imper- jjBfe i fection. No law can command it; "H* law must, accept it and make the best of it. But it must never lose sight of its compromise. It must not degenerate into hypocrisy. . .Assuming a perch of perfection, it is easy—but foolish—fo see the whole system where government profits from an undisputed! cvi' as hvnncrisv. And 'he whole point, is that it is ever on the border, as the true mofve of 'he moment »s profit or protection; for pTfeotion people do not want, so 't cannot he. And that is universal, and by and large, a frank concession to wrong, our 1'auor 'aws work bet- 11 than any we have had, an*1 better than in most 'ands. But inherent :n the compromise, temntaiion remains on both s'des. and ^he morality of perfection -must always be the matter of- the moment. The L'quor Act is therefore neo"ssarilv unusual, and full of potential dangers. Society if served no better bv turn'ne profit and incentive to private licence.

But certainly such beer should be seized. It should never have been sold, and the runners were taking advantage of an anomoly ">f law just as much as the seiz- ers, and with less moraity. The impasse was more ominous than ludicrous and the worst critic of this law must be cheered that it did the right thing by itepping in and stopping the sale.

The portico of the paiazza, accustomed to spaghetti over- flewed with confett. And inside the plebs and patricians were riotous in Roman carnival. The grandest Roman of them aU .(sit down, Schulli)- was being thrown to the matrimonial lionesseee, oh heck ssss, you fit em in. And, flglce far niente, the old boy was happier than he has been seen since the Indians gave the country to his cousin Cris- toforo Colombo. Rome-eo A patriarchal Romeo, his iron gray mustaechi neatly trimmed, his face aglow and the lume d' amore in his iron-gray eyes, Conte Caruso gently but prouflly pushed forward la passione de cuo cuore. A charming matrona of sympathy and good sense (one of which accounts for her choice of Franco), she wore a Wisp of rosebuds, and roses, of happiness in her good, friendly face, and warmly invited yon to her beloved Venice, paradise of poets and abattoir of a foreign butcher called Shylpck. But alas, the lovebirds win not nest in Venice. Of all places, they have compromised on—Pen- tjj^gjJSf^g^j The Grandest Roman (from Palermo in Siciliana via Porta Garlica and Phoenix) is not to be confused, with his 51st cousin Ereeko the crooner of the same appellare, a defunct tenorore. Franco is no mere rosignuo'.o, but a creative composer He has composed much plumbing in Q flats and has indulged in an occasonal minuetto of junk. Shy-Lock? Franco was erupted by Etna in 1884 (Gregorian wreckening). Like most of his countrymen he has spent most of his life in Princeton — some 30 fruitful annos, plenteous with plumbs. But there was nothing shy- about Franco. It was a lightning courtship, a cuopa Ida forza, with Conte Caruso serenading the balcony of his bella Julietta —no longer O Solo Mio. The bride, Signora Romana Castron, has graced that dull villaggio for.jopjjB^ears. Mass and communion was solemnized by -Father Corrlgan at 8 a-m., Saturday, 1st December. Best (?) man was Mr. Angelo Caruso of Osoyoos, and matron nf honor the bride's daughter; Mrs. Dora Antohick. Too Young!

Pop is popular as one af oar, gay young gadflies. He came, into Granite Creek in the helt- roarin' gold rush days in '87> a-ridin' on a government pony, 'and ever since has considered it his personal grerogative to take, the political jackasses for a ride. There is of course a perverse pittance of polyphonous peopli who profess that Pop is pequliax. Pop sniffs that they, don't know nothin', which is unusually generous flattery for him. But I propose to pretermit tlje pusillinamous prodigas. He's Willin' Pop is peppy, progressive and practically penniless. To wit: He contributes (grudgingly) to insure Dr. Johnson's health. Now he has dutifuUy consented to take out an old age pension. Only there poses Pop's problem. He don't know how old he is. Oh, c aims he lioes all right' but he can't prove it. Aha, sir- ra, but we have you there. You made a pickled puss when the cops said that about the murder. Th^s of course is awkward, for it is well. known that Pop had the contract to build the Ark; and the darned thing 'eaked in th<? for'rd stokehold. I know, I wuz there, bat I can't prove it. They didn't wrap oranges in soft paper in them days. AH Pop has to do is get mad (which is no great feat for him) and say to Dr. Johnson. "Man, d'ye no read yer Bible?" But I can tell Pon when he wuz born; I defy anyone to te"! why. He was born 19th January 18T8. How bio I know? Pon to'd me many moons ago and I can prove it. And it is well know that Mom, aged 98, bragged she wou d ski jomp 250 feet if the kids didn't. I doubt, though if Pop can quality. It is true the he if are state has made him docile and incorporation wi I bankrupt man, for af: his plethora of castles, and it is doubtful if any. young buck would give a good horse He's Unofficial for Ethy, but I seem to remember he butt a house in Ola la and used W. C. McDongall's Pen- -gctan raiway bonfls for wallpaper. Tough, Pop, but you stav off my corner. Wonder how much for a beggar's licence under the new Trades Buy Law? And how about some insurance against Pop? • POP went ridin' in his Rol's Noise (made by one H. Ford, Esq about 1912). when 'they got near Osoyoos Pop saw (sorry seen) an auto camp, two-bit dump paintefl like a miljfon bucks, where he says we mfeht as wel' spend the ni«*ht The proprietor sniffed "We onlv cater to people with money. Whereupon Pop puis out a roll big enousrh to make tbe dump look like tne,nuistard on a Rockefeler s^ndwirh. utters a rude sound. an« arivpa: on. Pop coirld a'wavs loan " tbfm the m»"ev tn nnv Ms nension.

Q. Mortimer Exskine is. slated for promotion, in recog-_ nition of his notable contribu-v tions to science'as caretaker of Princeton Airport, anfl concur-.j rently its Lord Mayor and May Queen. Like many things about Mort bis immediate destination is a -trifle, vague, hnt it would seem ! he has been, offered (or ordered) a huge metropolitan charge somewhere north of the North Pole. His ultimate destination is a somewhat warmer climate, to which he so free'y consigns anyone (including ton brass) who i falls short of his omniscience. Mast of Woids Though a doctor of law, language and letters (alter the fashion of Harry Truman) nto special science is liquids. His encounters with the law a.r* Leg^Mi. Last audience, Ihe was about to sue the government, calming 'title t0 North America, or at least a considerable portion of it adjacent to the airport. Two yeans ago he led the Airport Revolt against that tyrant iMj;tzler, kept all the kids out of schoo'—and won. Some disagreement also seems to have develop**! wfth his onetime apostle the model (T) Mr. Finnerty. Most serious though was when a hasty man called Dr. Erskine the illegitimate offspring of a auestionabte canine^—and th* in,- dignant dog brought suit arafost Mort. (be assured, though we sgeakjijyiilegory, all these things be true; Mort it is remarkable I man.) For tru'y Mort is a big man; | that tummy is all hpart.

One could wish that Dr. E. wou'd devote more interest to TtBs'limpid Squid. Far more of his researches have involved gasoline. His trusty steed when he goes crusafling is an ov*rgpujn. bulldozer, and thrilling are Ms exploits. It is however too big to get into a newspaper. ! We'wir say howev.fr it comes in handy jjlhfn Dr. Erskine wishes a worm to go fishin' JV"h. Like we said, Mort may not be orthodox, but he is effective. | Sorry, But-!

He installed them — in his own bed, while he slept on the floor; also Madame Mort. Next morning mechanic Mort started the plane. He drained out the oil and the extras and fried them — on Madam IMort's nice "new stove. In gratitude Ihey wanted to sell the plane and Mort the good fairy took a dav off to do that It was brand new, cost $7n"0, with a spare engine still in the crate. But he is not a Vrv gnod salesman.

Mort wore proudly the King's *>ants and has evprv ambition t« serve the Princess similarly. His ntost daring research has been •n combining p-ssniine with Le.- "lon Lotion, with which, how- ver, he is flone forever. Mort lacks not patriotic real. When he puts up the flag i* s<ays put. In fact last time .thev had to take down the 150 ft. -ole to get it down. '-ST* Morfamours Dr. Erskine's symphonies, paintings and poems we have not been privileged to punise, but we have heard him speak nostalgically about having hoid the boids. And whiie he is a (full scale) moS^tSa&fly man, the heart inside that tummy can hold much love. One 30 below 3 a.m. he tried to haul pt*. m' gillicuddle to Nickel Plate to endorse his amours, knowing full weil m'gillicuddle wouldn't give a cuddls for a shemale m'fSflt- cnddle. Mostly thon?h it is Mart's pride. He is inordinately jealous of Fairley's schoolmarm .■nn-.,.pots isr0w if mort onlfl only wpar hU ,ti'm«n 1>!>M. Once a green goddless stopped at Mort's platel. She was tramping her wav around the wor'd, and had safaris with the Nizam of Azerbaijan and a truck dri- ■Jjfjjjfin the Alaska highway, just for instance. When she got back to Blighty she was grounded with divorce. Mort took that one hard. Now while the Exploits of Er- skine are endless (and maybe you would like th?m to be continued) enough has perhaps been told to show that Mort is quite a guy.. And now we have acquired civic status we must guard onr civpt asses. We cannot have the Brooklyn Bridge, so let's keep Mort—at least until he returns my bunk.
