''Well, yes, he is cute as a bug's ear . . . but it's too bad the resemblance didn't stop there I” When deep In an experiment, in ventor Thomas Edison frequently would work around the clock, his mind glued to his work. After he had practically lived in his labora tory for a week, he was persuaded to take a nap at 4 a.m. Edison set the alarm clock for 7 a.m. When it sounded, however, he slept right through it. An as- sistant entered with the inventor’s breakfast. Noticing that Edison was still asleep, he decided to let him rest a little longer. After a while, the assistant became hungry and ate the meal himself. Edison stirred. Leaving the dishes on the table, the assistant started for another breakfast tray. He had not reached the door, when the in ventor awoke. His eyes heavy with sleep, Edison walked over to the table and sat down. For a minute he sat there, try ing to rouse himself. Finally his eyes opened. He picked up a spoon. As he did so, he noticed that the dishes had just been used. Sheep ishly, he looked up at his assistant. “I must be getting absent-mind ed,** he said. *T forgot that I had eaten.” He put down his napkin, lit a cigar and returned to his work bench. Over A Hundred Friend—“Did you ever run up against a mathematical problem that stumped you?” Famous Mathematician — “Yes, indeed. I could never figure out how, according to the magazine ads, eighty-five percent of the dentists recommend one brand of tooth paste, ninety-two percent recom mend another brand, and ninety- five percent recommend still an< other brand.” SUBSTITUTION A new clerk, right fresh from the country, was helping out in a local general store during the holiday rush. One of the town’s matrons approached the clerk and asked for some anchovy paste. The clerk hesi tated for a moment and then walked over to the tablet-and-pencil counter and said: “No, we don’t have anchovy paste, but here is some excellent mucilage.” Practical “I’m a very busy man, sir. What Is your proposition?” “I want to make you rich.” “Just so. Leave your recipe with me and I’ll look it over later. Just now I’m engaged in closing up a little deal by which I expect to make $7.50 in real money.” Wrong Point “How’s your daughter’s golf?” asked one grande dame of another. “She says she is going around in less and less every week.” “I don’t doubt that. I asked about her golf.” SERVICE, PLEASE Itz^SL Little Betty had been allowed to stay up to dinner* one night on the strict understanding that she should behave very well and not ask for anything on the table. When dessert came all the guests were attended to, but she was over looked. She sat despondently for a time, and then was struck by a bright idea. She exclaimed in a loud voice, “Who wants a clean plate?” DROP DEAD! An Irishman was carried to the hospital In an unconscious condition after a terrible fall. The surgeon made a brief exam ination, but shook his head sig nificantly, and turned sympa thetically to the anxious wife. “Madam,” he said, “I am sorry to tell you that yonr hus band is dead.” “No I ain’t,” said the supposed corpse, opening one eye. << Hosh up, Terence,” said the wife, “don’t the doctor know bet ter than you?” Kangaroo Meatballs Costello: “Your brother is cooking meatballs for lunch. He went out to get some chopped rubber.” Abbot: “My brother puts chopped rubber in meatballs?” Costello: “Yeah. He used to be a basketball player and he likes to dribble ’em in from the kitchen.” Real Estate Bargains Awaited Early Settlers Soaring real estate prices serve to remind Americans that the early bird gets the bargain. Peter Minuit’s famous $24 pur chase of Manhattan Island is only one example of the good “buys” available when the coun try was young. Director Minuit’s successor, Wouter Van Twiller, also got his money’s worth when he gave a band of Indians about $1.65 worth of presents in exchange for 172- acre Governor’s Island in New York Harbor. Staten Island, too, was bought from Indians in 1631 for “certain parcels of goods.” Christopher Columbus started it all with an investment in ships estimated by various authorities at from $16,000 to $75,000, of which Columbus himself is said to have contributed the equivalent of $2,000. William Penn received in 1861 almost all of the present state of Pennsylvania as payment for a loan of 16,000 British pounds made by his father. Admiral Sir William Penn, to King Charles II of England. At current exchange rates, this sum amounts to $44.- 800. In later years his descend ants were paid eight times that much by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for their interests and were permitted to keep their private estates. Penn also was required to pay the king two beaver skins on January 1 each year, plus one-fifth of all gold and silver ore found within his territory.

Early transactions shifted own ership of the present state of New Jersey several times. Charles II originally granted the area to his brother, the Duke of York, who deeded it to John Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret as joint proprietors. In 1674 Berkeley sold West Jersey for 1,000 pounds ($2,800) to two Quakers named John Fenwick and Edward Byl- lings. The executors of Carteret’s will sold East Jersey at public auction in 1682 to William Penn and a number of associates for 3,400 pounds ($9,520). Half interest in the state of Maine, as represented by a royal grant to Sir Ferdinando Gorges, was bought from his heirs by the state of Massachusetts in 1677 for 1,250 pounds ($3,500). When the United States bought Louisiana Territory from Napo leon in 1803, the country got a lot for its money. The price of $15,000,000 averaged out to less than three cents an acre for the 827,000 square miles. Subsequent ly, the Federal Government paid nearly a billion—dollars to com pensate Indian tribes for their lands in the territory. Noft'Smear lipstick Writ Eat Off-Bite Off-Kiss Off!
