SOURCE OF FUNNY STORIES
ONE OF LIFE’S LITTLE MYSTERIES.
ELUCIDATION ASKED
(United Press Association—By Electric. Telegraph Copyright. 1 LONDON, Jan. 18. A reader of the “Daily Express” has asked the editor to try to solve one of life’s little mysteries applicable in every city. “Will you start investigation into the source of funny stories continually going the rounds?” he asks. “Some men seem to have new stories to tell daily, yet I’ve not met a man who claimed to have invented one.
“I am a member of the Stock Exchange. which is proverbially the fount of ‘new ones.’ but none of the scores of my fellow-members I know personally has ever invented a story or even thought of doing so. Will someone throw light on a really profound mystery?”
