O'Hara Copyright, 1919, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) 4 AXI METER gets you coming and going and the gas meter gets you b A T standing still, Only meter that pleases a guy the higher it goes is the speedometer. Gas meter is like a burglar—does its robbing after dark. And the taxi meter goes in for highway robbery. ' Guy that invented the gas meter discovered perpetual motion, Gas | meter is the only thing in America that works more than eight hours @ | day Meter has no connection with the union—that’s why. Gas meter can even have no connection with the gas pipe and still keep going. Yep, lit keeps going, and going strong. Meter never takes a vacation, Whole family can take a vacation and lock up the house, but the meter keeps | ringing up charges just the same. Tennyson’s Brook and Edison's meter {are the only two things that go on forever. Only difference is that the | brook just goes on, and the meter goes on your bill, * Daylight saving’s a great thing, but the guy that gives us grs- light saving Is the bey that'll head the ticket. Meterologists have j been trying to solve the problem for years, Claim the only way to | save gas is to use electricity, Meterologists are the guys that .ead | the meters, They’ve got it all over fortune tellers, Have even got it | over bank tellers when it comes to large figures. Fortune teller will read a guy's palm for the next ten years nnd all it costs is a quarter. Meterologist will read a guy's meter and it'll cost him a quarter for the next ten MINUTE: And a quarter for every other ten minutes thereaster. 's never do things hy halves—they do ’em by quarters, Love makes the work go ‘round, but they've never discovered what makes the meter go ‘round. Only the gas company knows that. And \ that’s why the gas company has a lead pipe cinch. Guys that read meters do it with magnifying glasses. Also stand on their heads to make a 6. look like a 9, Meter reader can look at two ones and call it 11. Any onel-« of ‘em could spot an adding machine 5,000,000 points and still beat it out. i A guy can have electricity in his hair and gas in his stomach and | still depend on the lighting trust. Gas is the only modern improvement that shows no improvement. Only thing connected with gas that shows any progress is the meter, And you can't beat the meter—not even with lead quarters. They do everything with gas now, from cooking to committing suicide |—although in a lotta households we know the cooking and committing suicide are one and the same thing. Also use gas to put In balloons or pull out teeth, Gas does about everything but add and subtract, avd gas meter does everything but subtract. Gas meter’s really like a football game. First quarter starts . things going and it’s hard to get the quarter back. Second quarter makes things lively and it’s hard to get the half back, And the last quarter generally ends in darkness. And gas meter’s like a football game in still another respect—it always produces a lotta kicking, Reason they put the meter in the cellar is that there’s always a kick to it. Cellar is now the place for ANYTHING that’s got a kick to it, Water ineter’s in the cellar to furnish chasers, Gas is one of the few things that ain't gone up'on account of the war or on account of the armistice. You still put a quarter in the meter and get ten cents’ worth of gas, But a guy that’s without a quarter's like @ pair of wild horses—he needs two bits. Yes, indeed—-we've been all over the country, and we'll state you can’t accomplish anything in the dark except on a parlor sofa. It's even hard to accomplish much when the gas is running low, although Kipling wrote “The Light That Failed” when he was down to his last quarter. It’s a tough job beating the gas company, we'll tell the world, birds that can do it are owls, . | | | | Meter reade: Only ¢ ’ to Miss Burrow. ‘ tl nf, a. - “ t : t . j ‘evea is’ mrsigenngcmciaon sho ht Shela?
