...half lines to what might turn out to be the greatest mystery since "somebody hit Billy Patterson!" Here's "egg" in your eye for bigger and better mysteries! WILLIAM G. TARRANT JR. Richmond, Va.

The speedy Junior, who has been working out steadily since his supposed recovery, is still very weak, and has not been able to round into any sort of form...
...DEALERS-Unofficial Observer-Simon & Schuster ($2.75). A capital ship for an ocean trip Was the Walloping Windowblind! No gale that blew dismayed her crew Or troubled the captain's mind; The man at the wheel was taught to feel Contempt for the wildest blow, Tho' it often appeared when the weather had cleared, That he'd been in his bunk below. -Charles Edward Carryl...
