By Edwin Rutt YESTERDAY: Van finds Jumbo riding an electric horse in the gymnasium of the Penguin Club. Jumbo is trying to capture Miss Luella West's regard by building up his body. He relates how,Miss West “cooed” when she found she hadn't killed him.

Figure it out for your- self, Van. Suppose vou rushed into @hospital and said: ‘ beast with a broken neck been brought in here tonight?’ Well, the first thing the ital people would say is: ‘Who? What name?’ And Luella didn’t even know my name at the time. And she doped it that, in a lace like New York, people with necks are being carried into hospitals every minute. have been like looking for @ needle in a haystack. So she finally decided to sit tight and see if there was anything in the pa- pers about it the next morning. “Of course, there wasn't. I did the prettiest back-dive of modern times and it didn’t even make the mews. Well, after that Luella couldn’t do ‘anything except wait and hope. And then I call os one day.

No nonsense. ‘Well, Cutler,’ she said ‘you've asked me to go to an affair with you.
