BUILDING ANYTHING, MISTERT

Director Donald M. Nelson says
that if you have a building partly
finished he will try to take you out
of your position in mid-air, but it is
more than likely that the man with
a house only 50 per cent finished
will save himself a lot of trouble
by just putting a sign "Opened By
Mistake" on the whole project.

"Is the construction directly nec-

going to make a new country hom~

In fact, how are you going to

Some questions and answers is-
sued by the SPAB to explain the
situation include:
Q--If I were building a 10-story
building and had four stories up
could I get material to finish it?
A.--Very likely, yes.
Q.--If only an excavation existed?
A.--It would be a tossup.
And the builder would be "He who
gets tossed."

This is the architect that planned

This is the builder retained by the

This is the owner (oh, sad is he~)

body at the age of 10 3/ears are re-
tained, according to a professor in
the Columbia university school of
medicine.--News item.)
Consider, please, the child of ten,
Whose bodily condition's
A miracle to learned men,
Professors and physicians,
Who say that if we could retain
This stamina and vigor,
Five hundred years we might
remain,
And somewhat more, they figure.
But I have watched a child at play~
From morning until night time,
And wearily I now must say
That threescore ten is quite time.

There is a 5 per cent tax on all

LaGuardia, Penniless,
Came to the Right Place
A few years back, Fiorellc
LaGuardia, New York's peppery
mayor, was addressing a group of
Salvation Army workers before
a large audience. The mayor gave
a long and fiery speech in praise
of the organization. At the finish
the plate was passed. When it
came to LaGuardia, he reached
into his pocket for money. A
blank look came into his face
when he could not find any. He
fumbled desperately in all pockets.
Sensing his predicament, the
commissioner of the Army said in
a loud voice: "That's all right,
the Salvation Army is the right
place to come to when a man
hasn't a nickel!"

Lincoln didn't like the tone of

"Yours of the 10th received.
First of all, he has a wife and
baby; together they ought to be
worth $500,000 to any man. Sec-
ondly, he has an office in which
there is a table worth $1.50 and
three chairs worth, say $1. Last
of all, there is in one corner a
large rat-hole, which will bear
looking into."

Rather Different
An applicant for a job as junior
clerk gave a neighboring firm as

"Oh, young Jones?" came the
reply. "He's one of those 'push-

"You mean he's good?" asked
the first man eagerly. "Smart
and hard-working, eh?"
"Hardly that. What I mean is,
he only goes when you push him."
