- THIS WEEK’S COVER
- How praiseworthy is this lad who thinks first and last of his work, and only in between makes sure that all work and no play does not make Jack a dull boy. As young people should regard their parents as symbols of perfection, what a pity it is that Jack’s father has taken a day off from the office and now is twenty miles up-country fishing the headwaters of this stream. If Mrs. Rush Smith, to whom those eats are being quick-serviced, should come down the road in her car, she will admire Jack, too, for when she gets close, he will be industriously cleaning his spark plugs, to make the truck go faster. Artist Dohanos, when phoned for comment on this painting, was away on a business trip. Further check proved that he really was.
