I OMl Ml ATION
Editor of the Seward (iateway
Will you plea -e inform me what they
urc muk ny tin cans of lately
and how van >*M ope*: the cans suc
cessfully ? 1 urn having an awful time.'
My husband comes home ami ‘'inner .
late, so please advise me.
(Signed) Anxious wife.
Ha- so you are having trouble
Shak.. Well to the best of my belief,
the “alleged” tin cans are made ot a
new kind of sheet iron, that is the
cans I have tried to open.
The host way to open one of these
alleged'tin vans is to take it to the
basement, if you have one. or else out
side of the house, some place. Put the
alleged tin van on the floor. Take t '1
axe and go to it. Chop. cuss, chop,
cuss, chop, then a couple of cusses. !f
by this timo the can refuses to repl »•
to the operation, put the can on the
floor, take a sledge hammer and beat
the can around the basement or th*
vacant lot. !<ot the can hit any and
everything and perhaps it wi.l sprint:
a leak. If a leak is sprung then yut
can put a wedge in and perhaps your
efforts are rewarded. If this operat
ion is not successful, just cuss.
If the can is a milk can. place th"
can on a chopping block. Summon ai'b
Have the aide hold the sharpest point
ed auger you have upon the top of
the milk can. Then hit the top of V e
auger with a sledge hammer. \ou
might be able to make a hole through
which the milk will flow.
if you cannot make an impression,
save the ean. and when the kicking
husband comes home, b an him, an i
no jury will find you guilty.
Oh. ves- before you start on any
of the above operations send the chd
dien away from home, it you hav
children. Tell the kiddies to go to the
neighbor living the greatest mini 0!
of blocks from your house. Tell th* m
to get a left handed monkey wrench
or anything. When they return, it
should be* safe for you have either
opened the cans or you are so ex
hausted with efforts that you have no
further life in your body to create i
disturbance and use naughty, naughty
language, which should not be spok m
in the presence of children.
By the way the Editor forgot V
mention that a ga-i mask should al
ways bo worn in Alaska when opening
cans.

They haven’t come hack - yet, bu

Germany will undoubtedly give vo

are in the majority in German.
England has enfranchised f* V

fate of the nation.
America has more women veW?

undoubtedly soon give women the nn! -

Canada has a million women voters
Norway and Finland and Denmark
permit women to join the men in the

With all these nations- and more to
