FIRST AID to the
AILING HOUSE
by Roger C. Whitman
QUESTION: There is a litUe
crack directly over my sink where
it forms a joint with the plaster
wall. The white plaster used for
filling the crack always comes out.
What can be done?
ANSWER: Before the war it was
possible to get a neat, flexible metal
moulding that was made for a crack
such as yours, or to cover the crack
at the top of a bathtub. If you can
not find any of this, fill the crack
with a light-colored caulking com
pound. This resembles putty, but
never becomes hard or brittle. Af
ter forcing it into the crack, run
your finger along the surface to
smooth it, and after a few days,
touch it up with enamel to match
the wall.
QUESTION: Is there any way to
remove the discoloration on my new
plasterwork caused by rain soaking
through the sheathing and insula
tion? *
ANSWER: Stains on the plaster
from the rain have gone all the way
through and cannot be removed.
After the plaster has dried out you
can paint the walls. The alterna
tive is to cut out the stained part of
the plaster and replaster.

Determined Pigeon
A YORKSHIREMAN kept homing
pigeons and boasted that one of
them could find its way home from
anywhere.
A friend bet him 20 pounds that
the bird could r.ot fly back from
London. The bet was taken and the
pigeon was sent to King's Cross sta
tion to be let loose, but the man
making the bet artfully arranged for
the bird's wings to be clipped be
fore It was liberated.
At the end of a week it had not
returned.
“You wait,” said the owner, con
fidently, “he’ll be back all reet”
At the end of two weeks the friend
claimed that he had won the bet.
“He'll come home from any
where,” Insisted the owner.
After three weeks the friend went
round to claim the 20 pounds.
“Tha’ll get nowt—thee’s lost,”
said the Yorkshireman. "He coom
last neet, but by gum, his feet were
sore!”
QUAKER PSYCHOLOGY
A gentle Quaker, hearing a
strange noise in his house one
night, got up and discovered a
burglar busily at work. So he
went and got his gun, then came
back, and stood quietly in the
doorway.
“Friend,” he said, “I would
do thee no harm for the world,
but thee standest where I am
about to shoot.”
Rainy Weather
A drunk staggered home and
made his way subconsciously
through the house, winding up in the
stall shower of his bathroom. As
he groped about, he turned on the
water, deluging himself plenty and
making a racket which brought the
Little Woman to the scene.
Taking in the details, she called
him all kinds of names winding up
with a none too flattering estimate
of his past, present and future.
"That’s right, honey," admitted
the shuddering sot. ‘‘I'm everything
you said—and worse. But let me
in, won’t you?—it's raining some
thing awful out here.”
A DREAM COME TRUE
“When I was a little child,” said
the sergeant, addressing his men
at tye end of an exhausting drill, *T
had a set of wooden soldiers. There
was a poor boy in the neighborhood,
and after I had listened to the
beauties of charity, I softened
enough to give them to him.
“Then I wanted them back and
Cried,” he continued quietly. “But
my mother said: 'Don’t cry, Tom.
Some day you will get your wooden
soldiers back.'
“And,” shouted the sergeant, glar
ing at his men, “believe me, that
day has come.”
Lost and Found
The following notice was inserted
in the columns of a country weekly:
“Anyone found near my chicken
house at night will be found there
in the morning.”
COUNTRY APPRAISAL
A city boy and a country lad were
walking down a street. Coming to
ward them was a product of the
beauty parlor — permanent wave,
scarlet fingernails, drugstore com
plexion and gaudy lipstick.
"Now what do you think of that?”
asked the city boy.
The farm boy looked carefully and
observed: “Speaking as a farmer, I
should say that it must have been
mighty poor soil to require so much
top-dressing.”
Monologue
A girl was out with a soldier.
“So you really think I’m the most
adorable girl you ever knew?” she
cooed.
“Uh-huh."
“Do you think I’m the most at
tractive girl you have ever seen?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Oh, I’m so glad! And do you
adore my figure?”
"Uh-huh.”
“You do say the most marvelous
things, darling! Please do go on.”

German Lenses Studied
The United States has been put
years ahead in the optics race by
a million doliar collection of photo
graphic lenses from Germany, the
army signal corps reports. The
lenses were requisitioned by the
American 1st army from the famous
Carl Zeiss plant at Jena, Germany,
after the war in Europe. They are
under study at the signal corps
center at Fort Monmouth, N. J.
The collection includes samples of
all models ever produced at the
Zeiss plant, once the world’s leader
in lens making.
