laugh Two Martians landed in
front of a traffic light. One said, "I saw her
first." I only had one concern when I was in the hospital. I just wanted to make sure the doctors didn’t go to the same school as the cooks. A cat is an animal that never cries over spilled milk. My car has very low mileage on it, and most of that was when it was being towed. 1902 She Files Complaint. Editor — Do you ever publish kicks in your paper? I have two kicks to make and hope you will publish them in the interest of the general public, who I am sure will back me up in what I have to say. In the first place I object and so does every other woman to the way the street sprinkler man does when he comes to a crossing. Instead of shutting his sprinkler off he lets it go full tilt and half the time the crossings are so wet and sloppy that a woman cannot go along the streets without getting her feet wet and her skirts bedrabbled. In the name of hundreds of Carthage women I ask the drivers of the street sprinklers to leave the crossings dry. My other complaint is about the telephone service. Half the time you cannot hear over the line. There must be something defective with the construction. The wires also get crossed with wonderful frequency. If you use the phone several times in the same fifteen minutes you soon find yourself in trouble to get central. The theory seems to be that if you have used the phone once or twice you have had your money’s worth and must not expect to cut in again for awhile. Indeed it has been my experience that you are likely to have to wait a good while at any time when you go to the phone. Sometimes you forget the number you want by the time you get an answer. I think these are conditions which ought not to prevail and I would like to see them remedied. A Carthage Woman
