"rflHE high cost of living is terrible

Birsky, the renl cstater, remarked, as
he seated himself opposite Harnett '
Zapp in Wnsscrbaucrs Restaurant.
This observation had been provoked by
a notice in the bill of fnrc that on and
after January 15 the 40-cont regular
dinner would be increased to 60 cents,
and Zapp looked up from a plate of
lokshcn soup to indorse Birsky's senti
ment with a nod so emphatic that
drops of the greasy fluid were scat
tered all around.
"I bet yer," Zapp said, cleansing his
mustache with his lower lip. "Only
this morning I sen it costs Marcus
Fast two thousand dollnrs for nn auto-1
mobile already."
"You don't tell mc!" Louis ex
claimed.
"And Harris Shnpolnik must also

hundred dollars' Zapp continued,
while Birsky wagged his head from
side to side and made incoherent
noises through his nose indicative of
shocked surpris.
"I always thought them two fellers
was pretty saving with their money,"
he commented.
' A couple of tighter propositions
don't exist at all," Zapp agreed.
"Then what do thoy go to work and
buy all them things for?" Birsky
asked.
"Who says they bought 'em?" Zapp
asked. "All I says is that Marcus

Here he produced a clipping which
read as follows:

"Them two boys certainly lived be
yond their means," Zapp said.
"And it ain't their fnuU that they
didn't live beyond Mavis Fast's
means and Harris Shapolnik's means
also, because when a business man
starts in to livo beyond his means,
Birsky, he's got a downtown con
science and nn uptown conscience.
That's why when Rebfield buys his
automobile on Broadway and 57th
street for net cash, he didn't worry
himself how much he owes to a couple
of Canal street woolen houses like
Marcus Fast and Harris Shapolnilc",
"Ain't it funny how most of them
extravagant fellers is got such nn
elegant reputation for good pay?"
Bir3ky said.
"On the West Side above -Ud
street," Zapp amended. "And that's
what I'm tolling you, Birsky. Marcus
Fast pays for Rebfield's automobile,
just so sure as if ho would of made
out a check to tho order of the feller
that sold it, Birsky, and all them dia
monds Bertha Pitz wears should ought
to be hanging on Mrs. Shnpolnik

S TERRIBLE EXPENSIVE
ERVES LOUIS BIRSKY,
sr
r
rlctht now. In fnct, Mrs. Shnpolnik
don't know it, Birsky, but Sam Pitz
stole them diamonds from her."
Birsky shrugged his shoulders
deprecntingly.
"You ought to bo careful what you
are sayinrr, Zapp," he ndvised. "From
n big mouth mnpy n felter comes to
pny 550 for n smart lawyer to get
a libel case thrown out of court al
ready." "A Tnlmudist would tell you the
same what 1 do, Birsky. The differ
ence between n sneak thief and n fel
ler which lives beyond his means is
that the sneak thief robs only from
perfect strnngers."
"Whnt do you mean robbing?"
Birsky protested. "According to you,
if n feller buys n couple thousand dol
lars goods which ho needs it in his
business, understand mc, on credit 00
dnys, y'undcrstand, and then he
couldn't pay for 'cm, understand mo,
he is robbing already. An idcel"
"I didn't say no such thing," Zapp
declared. "All 1 says is if a feller
buys n couple thousand dollars goods
which he needs in his business on 00
days' credit, and ho couldn't pay for
'cm on account he is buying for not
cash an nutomobile which he don't
need nnd couldn't nfford, understand
me, then he is robbing, Birsky, nnd
that's nil there is to it."
"How do you know Rebfield gives
cash for the automobile, Zapp?"
"A question!" Zapp cxclnimcd.
"Automobiles is nlways sold for cash.
Birsky. in especially to fellers which
couldn't afford an nutomobile, under
stand me, becnuse if such n feller
would buy one on 10 dnys' credit only,
nnd in between times his renl odcr
life insurings falls due, understand
mc, it would take so much enjoyment
out of riding' in the automobile, that
right away ho finds out the linings
ain't up to sample odor the buttons
ain't sewed on correct or something.
The nutomobile dealers figured it
right, Birsky. I wish the waist bus
iness was on a C. O. D. basis, too.
Because a concern which sells goods
for cash, Birsky, never gets no can
cellations from nobody."
"Never mind, Zapp. You would
see that pretty soon the nutomobilcrs
would sell on credit, too. People nin't
going to be so crazy to buy automo
biles, now that gasoline is shoved up
no high," Birsky said. "I see where
next week Rockefeller makes it 2-1
cents n gallon."
"Well that don't change my plans
any," Zapp replied, "because the way
tho wnist business is after Christmas,

and automobiles was run with water,
I couldn't nfford a pushcart even."
"Even so, Znpp, there's lots of fel
lers in tho dclicnlessen business which
is obliged to run nutomobile deliveries, I
nnd for every penny they've got lo j
pny more on gasoline, they stick two
cents n pound on pastrami oder Frank-'
furters."
"That again is something for a
manufacturer of sodnmint odcr pepsin
tablets to worry about, not me, Birsky.
Anyhow, Birsky, if cigar stores
couldn't sell cigarettes to minors under
tlie nge of 1G, there ought to be a law
prohibiting delicatessen dealers from
selling their mnchshovos to adults
over tho ago of 25. In fact, Birsky,
if Kansas nnd Maine would go pro
hibition on delicatessen instead of
schnapps, Birsky, not only would it bo
better for business, y'undcrstand, but
there would be less crimc3 also, on
account there is more fellers feels like
committing murder the day after one
delicatessen hiipper than ten minutes
after a hundred highballs, and don't
you forget it. And that's only one
reason why Rockefeller nin't doing no
hnrm by putting up the price of gaso
line, because when I nm getting heart
trouble from crossing Fifth avenue nt
l o'clock in tho afternoon, I wish nuto
mobiles was run not with gasoline, but
with bcncdictinc odcr bay rum nt n
dollar thirty-five a quart."
"That'n where you're making n big
mistake, Znpp." Birsky said. "Nowa
days for an up-to-dntc feller, in a way,
"He didn't worry himself how
much he owes."

Flying Greys at Cooper
Battalion Hall
OTHER CAGE NEWS
A iiioulh ago the CainUcu team of th"
i:ijti'i n Haaketball League waa In one- of
tlm deepest, firmest ruts Imaginable. To
day tho South Jerseymen are playing u
gamn that may bo beaten, but It would
be a hard matter for any tonrn In tho
country to put up a more consistent nr
tide of the cage gonio than they hilve
been giving tho public during the last
feu weeks.
Last night "tlio Camden live, headed by
Captain Jack Adams, went to South Phil,
ndelphla und engaged tho league-leading
Orcystock live ut Cooper llattallon Hull,
it was a foiegone conclusion that tho
Clres would win the game, but they
didn't. Camden not only captured the
contest lij a high score hut tallied 41
points, while their opponents wore an
nexing 23, 15 of which were madd froni
tho 13-foot murk. Camden cuged II field
goala, while tho home crowd were pot
able to do better than live.
' This victory puts the Camden- team
within two nnd a half games of the.
(J ray a, the leading live of the. league, and
only ouo-half n ganio behind (he present
runners. up for lirst pluce.
Qreatock"s second Invasion of Musi, al

leaders line up against Oe NerL Tq .data
the Greys have won two out of tbroe
games, but 111 two of tin se contests the
going was exceptionally fast and roUth.
The last time Hie downtnwr. rivals
clashed wns on Christmas Pay, and these
twp games wore probably the rroat esUt
Ing played by the teams this year-
Although McWIIIlams will not be Jit to

greatly strengthened the Uieys. for :a Ma
