Do-it-yourself addicts will be wise to leave repairs of the furnace to qualified experts. Furnaces should be cleaned regularly, and necessary repairs should be made promptly. Flue pipes of furnaces should be short, well supported. and placed at least 18 inches away from combustible material a n d the ceiling.

A farmer's barn burned down and the insurance agent explained that the policy provided for a new barn rather than cash. The farmer exploded: "11 that's the way your company docs business, just cancel the insurance on my wife!" * We regret to report the Minnesota Twins aren't doing well. They've got an outfielder who's Green, a Lemon for a hitter, and the catcher's Battev. THE CLOTHMAKER THL rED WAY WHAT IT TAKES How many times have you heard someone say, "he's got what it takes"? It often makes me wonder if the subject of this comment is a particularly gifted individual or if he just happens to possess the mystical requirements that direct his every movement toward success. And the more and more I think about it, the more I am convinced that there is not as much difference between people as you might think. There is no such thing as a perfect employee! Just take a look at these figures and you can see why . . . According to studies made on just this very subject, it was found that 90 per cent of canaritv ic ahnnt nc 1 *?' *- ^ mo lll8u as any employee?even the best?ever puts forth. An average employee, who will never quite make the mark of "success." will many times rate almost as high with an average of between 80 and 85 per cent. This means there is only aoout n or 10 percentage points difference between the so-called perfect employee and the average employee?certainly not enough to account for the difference between success and failure. If this is so, then the accomplishments of an individual are not necessarily the results of exceptional ability, but just plain ambition?in terms of cooperativeness. enthusiasm. and pride in doing any job well. The fellow who gets ahead simply desires to improve his efforts. No task is impossible when you realize that everyone really "has what it takes." i . Some with a Different Twist AIN'T IT THE TRUTH . . . The only thing that can cheat some people out of the last word is an echo. $ * * She had resisted his affectionate advances all even inq. but finally, as he was say inq goodniqht, she gave in and favored him with a restrained kiss. "That's your reward for being a gentleman." she murmured. "For all my wasted labors," lie groaned, "that's no reward ? just workman's compensasation!"
