The Prison Mirror

SOAP BUBBLES
By Private Eye

The Mystery Melody for last week was Cavalry Charge; the new tune is worth $13,000.

Blackie, my bosom pal, gave me a thesis on a subject that is very fully covered in General Rules, paragraph 8. Read it.

Lew Pay, number one op, gathering material for his next manuscript; Spots, of A, looking chipper since he reduced a bit; Seely, pal of Bob C. plump as a roasting hen.

After a week at the infirmary La Du went back to his job as chief butter maker, take a bow, fellow, we enjoy that yellow stuff! Rumor says bacon and cakes from now on, too!

Wonder what kind of a program, "The Eye" is, on WTCN, at 8:30 Saturday evening? Then there is the Big Eye on Mount Palomar in California, which has a larger scope than we do.

Took some new table clothes to the D.W.O. the other day. arrived just in time to partake of a buffet lunch put out by K. P. the chef: he really knows his stuff! So do the rest of the staff upstairs, all capable and courteous. We thank you for the treat. Next week we expect to visit the hog farm and chicken ranch.

While making a delivery of new aprons to Tessie in his tool room over K way we stopped by to watch Smiling Andy, yard crew, clean up where Jack left off. when Jack went out last week—he left an awful mess behind. Now Andy has that department spic and span. Take a bow, Andy, old pal, you deserve one!

While passing the time of day with Stew, the painter, we happened to recall one time years ago when we both sat in the dining room of a Saturday afternoon, while the ball game was in progress, with our coats buttoned up and the temperature around the ninety mark: Eddie, the typo, joined us on occasion; that was when Joe Gyroscope, of G, 4410, was a new arrival! (Whew!)

Waseca Wally, Brew and Chappie are an unhappy trio just at present; Leroy, the printer, sporting a new chapeau; Rave, the distinguished-looking clerk from K. still makes the rounds; Dusty is on his uppers and Eddie, his pal, thinks Vallee High means the crooner is on a spree; Cross, my amputee chum watches the ball game from the grassy side lines now: Gally. from E, giving me the eye, all in jest, noble chum.
