PARAMOUNT PUNCH.
Dear Miss Dox,
I’m madly m love with a girl who works in a printing establishment, and I’m quite sure that she feels the same about me. However, there are certain facts and a few new developments that have caused me to reconsider proposing to her.
But just as I had sold myself on the idea of popping the question, I accidently caught her in the act of putting a Boston crab and a flying head lock on two linotype operators at the printery.
Now, Dirothy, I like ’em big and strong, but there’s a limit to everything, even the age of cheese. The above incident has set me to thinking. 1 love the girl, but I want to be master of my own threshold,
I mean household. Should I sacrifice supremacy of the home for love, or should I hold off until something my own weight comes along ?
Yours in fear and trembling,
HAROLD P.

Dear Harold P.,
By all means marry the girl, then use your wits to keep out of ha rm’s way. Cultivate your friends and invite yourself out to dinner whenever she threatens to take the warpath. Give her all of your pay money on Friday nights and then rob the sock when she’s asleep. In that manner you can

No. 1, “POP” FLYNN.
EARS ago when Old Man Flynn ■ passed out the cigars, little did he know that his son would be called “Pop” at the tender age of 15. S'fact. “Pop” they called him at the Sydney High School, and “Pop” he is called by Baseball fans, newspaper copy-boys, printers’ devils, blockmakers, and the city in general . . . Maybe if he ever goes across to New York, Mr. Zukor will greet him with a “Howdy, Pop” . . . you never can tell . . . Which reminds me that for those few who don’t know who “Pop” Flynn is ... he is the guy who, as Advertising Manager, lets the natives know that “If it’s etc.” . . . Hermann ... as his mother called him when a babe ... is one of those guys that you like when you first meet . . . and as time goes on . . . like him all the more . . . Despite the fact that he is a city menace with his famous Ford . . . traffic cops all know him . . . and occasionally let him buy them drinks . . . As secretary of the Paramount Club he has done much to create happiness and good-fellowship among members at Head Office . . . whilst under his managership the Paramount Baseball Club hss climbed to the leading position in the major league ... A hard-working and good little guy. — “Rambler”.
