PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.
VOL. 159.
August 11th, 1920.
CHARIVARIA.
We doubt,
says a contemporary, if the Government has effected much by refusing to let Dr. Mannix land on Irish shores.
We agree. What is most wanted at the moment is that the Government should land on Ireland.
We feel that the time is now ripe for somebody to pop up with the suggestion that the wet summer has been caused by the shooting in Belfast.
Manchester City Council has decided to purchase the famous Free Trade Hall for the sum of ninety thousand pounds. A thorough search for the Sacred Principles of Liberalism, which are said to be concealed somewhere in the basement, will be undertaken as soon as the property changes hands.
There is no truth in the report that Mr. Lloyd George, after listening to the grand howl of the Wolf Cubs at Olympia, declared that it was a very tame affair for anyone used to listening to Mr. Devlin.
Kangaroos and wallabies,
says a Colonial journalist, are about the only things that the Australian sportsman can chase.
Members of the M.C.C. team declare that they expect to change all that.
Reports that the gold had been removed from the Bank of Ireland to this country for the sake of safety have caused consternation in Dublin. There was always a possibility, the Irish say, that the Sinn Feiners might not lay hands on the stuff, but there isn't one chance in a hundred of it getting past Sir Eric Geddes.
À propos of the growing reluctance on the part of railway servants to take tips from holiday-makers, it appears that they are merely following the example set by the higher officials. We have positive information that only a week or so since Sir Eric Geddes flatly refused to take a tip from The Daily Mail.
While approving in principle of the proposal that the finger-prints of all children should be registered, Government officials point out that the expense would certainly be out of all proportion to the advantage obtained, in view of the prevailing high prices of jam.
There is just this one consolation about the weather of late. So far the Government have not placed a tax on rain.
Soldiers are very dissatisfied with the way in which ex-service men are now being treated,
states a Sunday paper. We understand that, if this dissatisfaction should spread, Mr. Churchill may call upon the Army to resign.
After exhaustive experiments Signor Marconi has failed to obtain any wireless message from Mars. Much anxiety is being felt by those persons having friends or mining shares there.
The youngest son of Sir Eric Geddes is learning to play golf. It is hoped by this plan to keep his mind off thoughts of a political career.
A reader living in Aberdeen informs us that the last batch of Scotch refugees arrived from England last Thursday in an exhausted condition.
Cats are very poor swimmers,
states a writer in a weekly journal. This no doubt accounts for the exceptionally high infantile mortality among these domestic pets.
Last week a wedding at Ibstock, Leicestershire, had to be postponed after the ceremony had already begun, owing to the failure of the Registrar to appear. It was not until the best man, who denied having mislaid the Registrar, had been thoroughly searched that the ceremony was abandoned.
A burglar accused of stealing sixteen volumes of classical poetry was sentenced to a month's imprisonment. The defence that he was insane was evidently ignored.
The Westminster magistrate, the other day, described a prisoner as a very clever thief.
It is said that the fellow intends printing this testimonial on his letter-paper.
A man knocked down by a racing motorist in New York is reported to have had both legs and an arm fractured, several ribs broken, and other injuries. Motorists in this country incline to the theory that it was the work of an amateur.
A Swiss guide recently discovered a chamois within sixty feet of the summit of the Jungfrau. Only on receiving the most explicit assurance that the Fourth Internationale would not be held at Grindelwald would the creature consent to resume its proper place in the landscape.
According to the conductor of the Southern Syncopated Orchestra the modern fox-trot has been evolved from a primitive
