Tho Rods are sadly lacking in "ginger" this time, lu their advertisements there is too much "rally" and not enough "rip," and their attempt ut humour is like a funeral hearse in a circus procession. Why don't they let Ineniseives so something after Polychrome Peter. (Tune, "Keep the Pied Flag Flying.") Have you heard the song that) the Reds admire, Polychrome Peter!" Polychrome Peter! It is something between a half-truth and a liar, Dear old Polychrome Tcter. It goes like this when you sim; it flat;' Hut on the tiop notes it go.'s riynt through your hat; Tiie more you sing it the bigger the rat, Polychroino Peter! Polyclnome Peter! It's all about a son;? that is Red, Polychrome Peter! Polych'.ome Peter! Which will do to cover your sins or your • bed, • Unctions Polychrome Peter. Bob Semple will lell you the sound of li'io lime, 'I'lieiv is nolming he doesn't know under the moon. Ho can teed dead mice with'a big horn spoon. Dully .Hub! Polychrome Peter. The Welfare League will sing the "Farewell,"' Polychrome I'eier! Polychrome Peter! Whilst Mr. O'Jiegaii ejacii'lale.-i-weli! It's-furious, Polychrome Peter!
