dollars he gave you last week, and
if he has no Sport-Page to distract
his attention, you'd better have a
good comeback prepared.
Most family arguments start at
the breakfast-table. If they don’t
start there, the chances are pretty
heavy that they won't start at all,
the grievance having been side-
tracked by the time dinner rolls
around. Strict attention to paper-
reading is a great preservation of
peace.
And then there is another angle.
If a man is reading the paper, he
can hardly object if his wife catches
up on the latest mystery story in the
Saturday Evening Post. If he insisted
upon discussing world politics at the
breakfast table instead of being con-
tent to read about them, the lady
in the case would have no water-
tight alibi for finishing the latest
installment of “Whodunit.” She
would be obliged to wait until her
husband had left for the office before
pouring herself another cup of cof-
fee and settling down comfortably
to the solution of the mystery.
If she is a quick reader, she can
usually finish the story in the Sat-
urday Evening Post and make out
her marketing list before being re-
quested to have a look at Blondie.
And in respect to the Blondie strip,
a right-minded and well-trained
wife will take the section devoted
to the comics, read the cartoon
pointed out to her by her husband,
and hand back the paper without
turning down any lanes or bypaths.
She will strictly refrain from look-
ing over the White Sales and the
Bargain-Basement come-hithers. It
takes years of self-negation to at-
tain this poise, but it is worth the
struggle. Unless the husband is one
of these thrifty souls who carries
the paper along with him to the
office, the wife can always catch up
on the bargains after he has left

It would probably cramp a car-
toonist’s style considerably if he did
not have some sure-fire theme such
as the Mother-in-law or the Morn-
ing Paper to fall back upon. One
gag is just about as good as the
other. Most Mothers-in-law are pret-
ty good eggs—I speak with author-
ity, having recently been elevated
to that status myself—and most of
us would not exchange a paper-
reading husband for a garrulous
creature who expected flights of
fancy and an unreasonable amount
of intelligence from us at an un-
seasonable hour of the morning.
What we mainly need is bigger
and better newspapers, papers that
would consume two hours in the
reading instead of an hour and fif-
teen minutes.

First Half Of League Season
Closes With Three Games Tonight
Four Teams Are Tied For Second Place;
Borough Leads With Only One Defeat
By Richard Jones
Tonight's games will end the first
half of the 1942 season. :
Township Bows To K. T. H. S.
Feeling confident after downing
Dallas Borough last week, the Dallas
Township cagers were easy prey for
Kingston Township. The score was
21 to 15, Fritges leading the win-
ners scored 8 points and Jack Por-
ter playing center was responsible
for 6. The Dallas high man was
Morris with 6 points, seconded by
Martin with 5, This game put Dallas
Township at the bottom of the
league with one win and 3 losses.
Harter Defeats Lehman
A technical foul shot by Verry of
Harter in the last 4 seconds of
play made Harter victorious with
23 points to Lehman’s 22. The foul
called on McCarty for jostling the
referee led to an argument follow-
ing the game which resulted in the
dismissal of McCarty and Rusiloski
from the team for the rest of the
year,
Borough Defeats Laketon
Laketon was defeated, 28 to 14
by a determined Dallas Borough
quintet on the Laketon floor. Cad-
walader starred for Laketon, scor-
ing 10 points but the Borough boys
smarting under last week's defeat,
forged ahead with 9 points by Moore
and 8 by Urban to double their op-
ponent’s score of 14.
