The vacation bug is biting us
just as hard as it is every other
department in the plant. It seems
that when the summer days come
around, the boys have a craving

“How do you account for the
fact that more people were hap-
pily married one hundred years
ago?”
“Simple. Before Edison invent-
ed the electric light, men never
did find out exactly what they
were getting.”
She: “I’m sorry Bob. Perhaps
some other girl will make you
forget me.”
He: “I can never forget you.”
She: (Sweetly) “Yes you can.
You succeeded very well in doing
so my last birthday.”
Tillie Moers and her boy friend
went to the cinema the other nite
and the feature picture was “The
Woman Pays.” Tillie thought she
had to buy the tickets. She wins

Up to recently we had a big run

H. W. Ferguson seems to be our

Lefty, star hurler of the Ep-
worth League, says one thing
rarer than a day in June is a
bottle of spiritus frumenti, other-
wise known as four roses.
Mr. J. E. Pollock has recently
moved from the neighboring vil-
lage of Goose Creek to the thriv-
ing city of Baytown in the section
formerly known as Camp Rivet.
While checking up on a few of
the boys the other day, the writer
saw something very much resem-
bling the missing link or an es-
caped convict, but on closer ob-
servation turned out to be our
friend J. L. Hart with a shaved
or clipped head. This is more-
or-less indescribable, however; it
would have to be seen to be ap-
preciated.
Mr. B. D. Ward, Publicity hound
of the Development Department
from whom is usually gleaned
most of the worthwhile news,
seems to be laying down on the
job lately. Before passing judg-
ment, however, we will say that
the heavy duties and responsibili-
ties encumbent upon Mr. Ward as
Director-General of the Inspec-
tion Laboratory are, no doubt,
lying heavily upon his very cap-
able shoulders, and are very like-
ly acting as a deterrent to his
wonderful news-gathering ability.
Anyway that is as good an alibi
as we can think of at present for
not turning in more news.

to slow things up a bit.
Dr. Sherman S. Shaffer recent-
ly returned from a vacation trip
in the northern states where he
encountered a bit of temperature
not entirely to his liking and for
which he was somewhat unprep-
pared. The weather he returned
to should have evened up things
however.
Tim McNamara and “Jack” Kirk
have declared a truce but the
force seems to think that it is
merely a temporary cessation of
hostilities. They still growl at
each other though.
B. E. Wilson says that he would
like to have some sort of a “rack-
et.” What is that thing you call
work but yet don’t seem to get
anything done. Sounds very much
like a “racket” at times. It can
be a pretty soft one at that.
George Gilbert, the New Yorker
has just about discovered that
Houston is not pronounced "How-
ston” and even goes so far as
to say that he likes the place. He
goes over there every once in
while and looks through the books
in the library. Wonder if he finds
anything worth while.

tired of going to and from Hous-

for the great out doors. Some of
us, not quite so fortunate as to
be able to take those vacations,
have to be content with staying
at home and mow the lawn. Even
at that it isn’t so bad because
when you get through with that
you don’t have to eat burnt bacon
and drink strong coffee. Then
too, the old bed feels better than
an old camp cot. But give any-
one an opportunity, and they will
suffer all kinds of hardships just
to be in God’s great out-of-doors.
Our friend Al Peer says that he
is going to spend most of his va-

spot sometimes and “rough it,”
for a short while at least.

After a period of inactivity
dating from the fire at the Com-
munity House, the band got busy
this last week. Sunday, June 1st,
it participated in the celebration
sponsored by the V. F. W. in
commemoration of Memorial Day,
The boys nearly gave out during
the march but hone of them were
too tired to do full justice to the
dinner served them by the V. F.

“I got a jar of cuticura today.”
“What am I supposed to do—
break out in a rash?”
«I wish I had my wife back.”
“Where is she?”
“I sold her for a bottle of whis-
kev.”
“So you found out you really
love her?”
“No, I’m thirsty again.”

We’d never known before that
Maude had dreamy eyes until she
admitted it. The truth came out
. recently in a bridge game with
her heart’s last beat and some
friends. It seems that Maude,
having been up late the night be-
fore, couldn’t concentrate on the
game and so her h. l. b. asked
her to wake up and get in the
game. Maude replied that she
couldn’t help it if she was dreamy
eyed. Guess not, Maude, it must
be a gift.
George is going around here

He said he cut it taking out an
old window pane. You can be-
lieve it or not.
