Vv ‘OL, *ZEV FAVORITE OVER MY OWN NO. 25. Howdy, folks! Scientist arrived in Seattle yesterday with some 10,000,000-year-old eggs he dis. covered in Mongolia, No, he didn't drop one. That was the tide-flats you smelled. The dinosaur egos are fnches long and 5 inches broad. Three or four of them would just bout make a breakfast for a lum- derjack, Our idea of a bum drink is an egg: nog made out of eggs that are 10, 000,000 years old and whisky that is 10 days old, ape @ PALEONTOLOGY Prof. Roy Chapman Andrews, famous archeologist, says he dis covered the skeleton of a carniy- ¢rous animal with legs like a kan- garoo. Ah, the first pedestrian! oe ‘Ten million years from now some} archeologist is going to dig up the remains of a second-hand fllvver and} announce tfat he discovered a prehistoric louse. Now that Zev has won the first in-| ternational horse race, we expect to see him on the Orpheum circuit shortly. The former crown prince wants to| g0 back to Germany to live. We can think of no more fitting punishment.
