LIN’ CHAIR HAS OOTHg
Nice Guy
It was the first day of school and
the teacher was going from desk to
desk, making the acquaintance of
her new class. Stopping in front of
the desk of little Mehitabel, the
daughter of a trailer manufacturer,
she inquired, “What is your father's
name?”
“Daddy,” replied MehitabeL
“Yes, I know that,” said the
teacher, “but what does your
mother call him?"
“She doesn’t call him anything,”
was the girl’s sharp reply. “She
likes him.”
KNEW WHAT SHE WANTED
Two career girls were exchang
ing confidences Just before Christ
mas. One said to the other: “Sis,
would a long stocking hold all you
want for Christmas?”
“No,” said the other, “but a pair
of socks would.”
Miscounted
At a gathering of literary and
radio personalities, a certain well-
known producer was holding forth
on the countless mistakes he had
made in his business and how much
money they had cost him.
“I declare,” he announced. “I’m
my own worst enemy.”
“Not while I’m in the room,” was
the rejoinder of Columnist Franklin
P. Adams.
Creating An Opportunity
“At her request you gave up
drinking?”
"Yes.”
“And you stopped smoking for the
same reason?”
“I did.”
“And it was for her that you gave
up dancing, card parties and bil
liards?”
“Correct.”
“Then why didn’t you marry
her?”
“Well, after all this reforming, I
decided I could do better.”
I ONE WAY TO DO IT
One morning Brown looked
over his garden wall and said to
his neighbor: “What are you
burying in that hole?”
“Oh,” he said, “I’m Just re
planting some of my seeds,
that’s all.”
“Seeds!” shouted Brown an-
gfliy. “It looks more like one
of my hens.”
“It is. The seeds are inside.”
Won’t Be Long
At the baseball game the boss
suddenly came in behind his office
boy, and tapped him on the shoul
der.
“So this is your uncle’s
funeral?” he demanded of the
startled youth.
“Looks like it,” the quick-witted
boy replied. “He’s the umpire
down there.”
Frivolous Tars
A siDy old woman took an ocean
voyage. One night a terrible storm
came up and washed away most of
the deck rigging. The alarmed cap
tain sent up rocket distress signals.
When the silly old woman saw the
red flares she confronted the cap
tain.
“Look here!” she said. “I don’t
think this is quite the time to be
shooting off fireworks.”
Cure Preventative
Rastus: “Where you going, boy?”
Sambo: “I’m going down to get
myself some tuberculosis stamps.”
Rastus: “What is they? I ain’t
never heard tell of ’em.”
Sambo: “Every year I gets 50
cents worth and sticks them on mah
chest and I ain’t never had tuber-
culosis yet.”
Diminishing Returns
. “Why don’t you send your suits
“Because he took a spot out of
to Sam the tailor any more?”
my gray suit”
“Well, that’s what he’s supposed
to do, isn’t it?”
“No, this was a ten-spot.”
ANOTHER BOSS
A motorist pulled up outside a
filling station on which there was
a sign: “Under New Management”
“But” ■aid he. “there’s the same
manager sitting In his office.”
“Yes,” said the attendant “but
he got married this morning.”

If you are in the process ol
learning to sew on a sewing ma
chine, practice on smooth brown
paper which has been “lined”
with a pencil and a ruler. When
you have learned to follow the
lines, outline squares, etc., and
practice turning corners
Soaking in denatured alcohol
will remove indelible pencil marks
from washable material, provid

Beauty of Your Chairs
When in doubt about bow much
baking powder to use, a helpful
generality says one teaspoon of
baking powder to each cup o#
flour.
To give low windows the appear
ance of greater height, use verti
cally striped drapes extending to
the floor.
Use a soft brush to keep the
cloth covering on the turntable of'
your record player free from dust,
which might scratch your favorite
records.
Keep glass coffee jars for stor
ing staples, odds and ends, etc.
Jars can be painted to harmonize
or contrast with color scheme of
kitchen, but leave a clear strip of
glass so that contents of jar can be
quickly identified.

Covering eggs while they are
frying will cause the yolks to be
coated with a white film (some
folks don’t like that “wide-eyea
look of a fried egg) and prevents
eggs from hardening or frizzling.
Rayon garments often absoru
water in blotches no matter how
carefully they are sprinkled: to
easier ironing, remove such gar
ments from line while still damp
roll in a towed or waxed paper and
iron as soon as possible.

White House Repaired
From Time To Time
Once again the White House is
under-going extensive repairs.
The cornerstone of this historic
building was laid in 1792, but the
structure was not completed until
1800. John Adams was the first
President to occupy it and Abri-
gail Adams reportedly dried the
family washing in the still un
plastered East Room on rainy
days. I
Legendarily modeled from the
Duke of Leinster’s home in Dub
lin, the building is 170 feet long
and 86 feet deep. Popularly known
as the “White House,” it was
painted white to cover the stains of
smoke remaining from the serious
damages incurred when the Brit
ish burned Washington during the
War of 1812.
Culls Add To Silage—
Brome Silage Preferred
> ill watermelons added when
silage crops are run thru the cut
ter on the Henry Poison farm in
McIntosh county, Oklahoma, sup
ply some of the water that Poison
formerly added to his mixture of
sorgo and cowpeas, and make a
good addition to the silage.
James Montavon and son of De
Kalb county, 111., believe that al
falfa brome silage is a better-
balanced roughage than corn si-
lage: when the Montavons
switched from corn silage to grass
silage several years ago, milk
fever cases were eliminated and
their Holstein milk became so yel
low customers asked if it was
Jersey milk.
