Get her latest this week, as she was making a speech, a man hollered out, "My children are as good as yours." Lady Astor come back at her, "Which one of mine? I have no two that are alike.

One wouldn't have anything if you turned him loose In the Bank of England, and another one would be rich if you turned him loose in Timbucktoo. Now if a husband and wife can't raise 'em alike, how is the Labor Government going to make all children alike?" If she loses in this election I hope England will make her Ambassadress over to us here. Yours, WILL ROGERS. lines. Yard Board Engineers for S2C.
