FATUOUS FACTS.

A cowslip is not a dairymaid’s under-garment. A car can roll up a drive but not a hose. Tripe is printed as well as wrapped up in Sunday papers. Dingbats are not used for cricket in asylums, nor brickbats for a like purpose by bricklayers. Two z swallows do not make a summer but help a lot at 6 p.m. The clip of horse hair from clothes horses is of no commercial value. The siting room has been done away with in modern flats as well as in tight pants. Indian files, correspondence files, and blank files have no place, in the well fitted tool chest. A.I.F. recruits do not pick up* their feet with boot jacks. ? * * J' * ■ . German soldiers and farmers are busy teaching the German language to horses requisitioned from France, Poland, Belgium and the Netherlands. ’• * * * Biscuits now being manufactured in N.Z. for the army are said to be more palatable than those of the last war. We understand that dogs have been known to eat as many as two of the new type. * * * In one way Hitler is better than Mussolini. He has at least had the decency not to reproduce himself.
