Here’s a joke (I think it’s good, too) sent in by Emanuel Bernstein of Newark, N. J.:
Jerry: “It’s only six o’clock. I told you to come over after supper.”
Red: “That’s what I came after.”
Another boy—George Browne of Rye, N. Y.—submits this one:
Father, to little Tommie who had just started to school: “Well, son, what lesson do you like best?”
Tommie: “I like recess best.”
And what do you think—Alfred Burke of Cranford, N. J., states that he has read the Whispering Cave book twenty-four times! [[xi]]
Here’s another snappy one: “I tried to make a dinosaur egg,” writes Jack Hanson of Rockford, Ill. Jack doesn’t say how the egg turned out. Yet how glad we are that he didn’t try to lay it!
“My chums and I recently organized a Juvenile Jupiter Detective Association,” writes Wilfred Hinkel of Elmont, L. I., N. Y., “only we call ourselves the Jerry Todd Union of Detectives. Boy! You should see our peachy badges.”
