BARON
London Machine Minded
(Continued from Page 11)
as carefully as any thoroughbred should be.
In fact the service is so complete that it
might be said they do everything but kiss
the dog goodnight.
Second member of the Parr Kennels is
Sally, a tan and brown Doberman, who will
someday be the mother of Baron's puppies.
She, too, has been through the Hollywood
Dog Training School and had the complete
course with the exception of the protection
service.
Fred Sherwood is the trainer responsible
for teaching Baron and Sally the many
things they have learned. Fred is one of
the best trainers in the business. He is
deaf in one ear and hard-of-hearing in the
other, "which", says Fred, "is a fine thing
in training Dobermans."
All in all Parr has a pair of Dobermans
he can well be proud of. Woe be it to the
individual who attempts to bodily harm
him with two such well-trained protectors
on constant guard.
Girl Routeman Succeeds
SELMA, Cali f.-The ladies have the right
of way in industry today, and it looks like
the coin machine operating business might
be no exception.
Miss Ann Young, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. George K. Young of Selma, California,
large Rock-Ola phonograph operators, was
given a complete route of approximately
eighty-seven games ' and phonographs to
manage for the Young organization.
This opportunity was given Miss Young
over a year ago, and she has made the grade
satisfactorily. Ann now holds a full job in
the company as "route man." In fact the
experiment- was so successful that Mr.
Young recently added a second girl "route
man" to his business.
Pretty as a picture, and with her own
truck, record cases, title slips, needles, etc.,
all in apple pie order, Miss Young gets out
on the route every morning promptly at
eight.
They say she's handy with a screw driver
and wrench too. So take warning, all route
men!

"I heard of a hard case along our way."
"What was it?"
"Well, a man was shot. The knife was
found at his side. Who do you think
poisoned him?"
"Who?"
"Nobody. He hanged himself."
"Did you choke your wife?"
"No. She swallowed a lump of sugar,
and I was just trying to keep it from going
down."

"They have a new dishwasher in this
restaurant."
"How do you know."
"I notice the difference in the finger-

Director: "Now here is where you jump
off the cliff."
Actor: "But suppose I get killed or in -
jured?"

Director : "Oh, that's all right. It's th e
last scene in the picture."

Convict: "I want you to get a small saw
to me the next time you send me a pie."
Wife: "Oh, so you can cut through the
bars?"
Convict: "No, so I can cut through the
pie."

Customer: "Why do you have magazines
with stories of murders, mysteries and
ghosts on that table there?"
Barber: "Well, it makes the customers'
hair stand on end and makes it easier to
cut."

"Are you sleepy so soon?"
"Oh no. It's just my retiring dis po-
sition.'~
CHICAGO-Worthy of note is a letter
from London recently received by the Atlas
Novelty Co. The lettei- itself reflected the
bull-dog tenacity of the English people dur-
ing the height of the terrific bombardment
of London, but it bote out the contention
of most coin men that in spite of any and
all conditions people were coin machine-
minded.
The writer of the letter was an operator
who had to change his office three times
due to bombings and explosions of mines,
but he is still carrying on with his opera-
tion and apparently doing so in a success-
ful way.
Here at home indications point to an in-
creased interest in amusement and arcade
machines, according to Irving Ovitz. While
a few territories are undergoing changes,
there are more territories that have opened
up greater opportunities than ever before.
Atlas is fortunate enough to have re-
tained its c'lmplete staff: trai'ned mechanics,
refinishers, office and sales departments.
The operator, therefore, is assured expert
assistance. and of paramount importance is
the fact that Atlas' inventory is so diversi-
fied as to give eery operator the opportu-
nity of purchasing whateer he wants from
stocks on hand_
Vacationers wi1l continue to frequent re-
sorts, and although they may be close to
the larger centers, operators will reap the
usual benefits from this fortunate season of
recrea tion.
In readiness for operators of every type
of location are consoles, free plays, auto-
matics, phonographs, amusement and ar-
cade equipment. Our facilities for immedi-
ate shipment are better than ever and oper-
ators are urged to take advantage for their
own benefit.

Many a man sees a wolf at the door
because his girl saw a fox in a window.

When a golddigger says she'll go fifty-
fifty, she means that she'll supply the
appetite if you'll supply the food.

P. O. Clerk: "Madam, you've put too
much postage on thi's letter."
Woman: "Oh, Heavens! I hope it won' t
go too far."

Judge: "Why did you stick your knife
into this man?"
Prisoner: "Well, I heard the police com-
ing and I had to hide it somewhere."

When Will War End?
WICHITA, Kansas- Just when the pres-
ent war will end is still" somewhat of a mys-
tery but M. T. Daniels, vending machine
jobber and distributor, mailed out a clever
answer the first week in July.
Said Daniels:
Absolute knowledge, I have none.
But my aunt's waS'herwoman ' s .sister' s
son
Heard a policeman on his beat
Say to a laborer on the street
That he had a letter just last week,
Written in the finest of Greek,
That a Chinese coolie in Timbu ctu,
Who said the natives in Cuba knew
Of a one-legged man in a Texas town
Who got it straight from a circus
clown
That a man in the Klondike heard the
tip
Straight from a South American's lip
About somebody in Borneo, who
Had heard of a man who claimed it
true
That he has a son, whose girl friend
Knows iust when the war is going
to end.
To which we add that we agree and hope
it is a date not too far removed.
