Another turns his ring and index fingers inward, forming a with his nose in the center while the right hand, index finger extended, is swept across his line of vision. That is a fellow driving a 8 in the rain, the right hand being the windshield wiper. Here's the best one. You tap your forehead lightly with the fingers, make a crank turning motion with the right hand past the right ear and stick out your tongue.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the true and correct impersona tion of a cash register. Here's one to work on: The quintuplets in a shower bath. And that all reminds that Little Audrey is not dead. O. P.

"One afternoon Little Audrey tied and gagged Artie, one of her twin cousins, until he was blue in the face.

R. Abernethy, had the City Hall cor ridor visitors by tile ears and eyes today. There was mingled in the discussion much praise for school Directors Rush A. Bowman and W. W.

Dodson who voted "no" on the theory that there were Harrisburgers perfectly capable Of doing the job. They also talked figures. Nellie Van Dyke, who resgined, was paid $700 for supervision of the cafeterias; $2000 for being home economics supervisor. The new supervisor will receive $3000 yearly and will have nothing to do with the home economics department. The purchasing department will buy supplies.

The school beard treasurer will continue to look after the money. Wert will have charge of one meal dally in the cafeterias. One director said: "If we pay a man $3000 for serving one meal a day, that would be a $9000 job if he served three. Others quick with their pencils figured that the rate averaged about $16 per meal. There are 190 days In the school year.

The board had to suspend its own rules to make the election. Hitherto the choice was made by the board secretary, now R. E. Bos well. The new man will be solely responsible to Dr.

Abernethy, who picked him. One man silenced the discussion when he said: "Why should the board kick about briging in an out town man. They brought in Abernethy from Lebanon, didn't they?" That broke up the discussion. i Agriculture Forces Enjoy Annual Outing I i rv Ti a. Mr II (Si 5 rA lit I X.

The three hundred employes of the Department of Agriculture went "back to the farm" at their annual picnic at Willow Mills Park today. Secretary of Agriculture J. Han sell French, told his employes that the picnic would be permissable if they could make it look like a department of agriculture picnic, and they did. Dressed in overalls, large straw hats and red neckerchiefs, from Secretary French down to office boy, the picnickers dined and frolicked as they did "down on grandpa's farm." Among the events this afternoon was the milking contest and to see those stenographers some of who know cows only as roast beef competing was a picnic in itself.
