(The New York Evening World). HEN Emp Oharles chinned to Kink Ferdinand that all kings should etick together like postage stamps in a fat man's vest pocket he said something. America wants to see the kings Stick tokether like two porous plasters in July, When the kings get sticky you are hep to the answer. When kings get eticky we immediately eatablish a roar for « new deok. The kings in the deck got sticky around 1776, with the result that Paul Revere hung up @ mileage record that bas never been equalled since gasoline elbowed oats off the touring menu. The old monarchical deck was tossed into the discard and we've been dealing with a demo cratic pack of cards ever since. Let 'em stick together. If the kings get sticky enough they will make good fiypaper after the war. Outside of that they are about as useful as a whipsocket in a Ford or a thirst in a dry State. Don't only allow those kinks to stick together, but make ‘em stick together, We need & new deck. That's what we are all chipping into the kitty for And that kitty is a big cat now. Everybody knows that a cut can stare at a king. But this is going to be the first time that a cat grabbed a king by the cars and shook him for the drinks, let ‘em grow as muoilaginous as they want. When they are alt sticking together we can toss ‘em for the exit in one motion, A sticky king sure does gum the deck. But when all four of ‘em got sticky it's time to bar the door.
