HUM0R OF THEIR CWN MAKE
No Profession, Trade or Industry But
Has Its Own Technical
Jokes.

There Is hardly a profession, trade
or Industry nowadays that does not
have periodical or organ of its own.
And few, indeed. are the publications
of this kind that do not devote a week
ly or monthly page to the Tighter
side" of the branches of human activ-
ity to which they are devoted. This
technical humor has a twofold interest
for the layman, that of the Jokes and
anecdotes he can appreciate on the
one hand and that of those which are
incomprehensible to him on the other.
He finds no difficulty, for instance,
In the familiar anecdote of the bank
presidents daughter who, on being
informed that her account was over
drawn, severely told the paying teller
mot to let 1t happen again or she
would have to speak to papa about it."
but he would very likely be unable to
see the humor of a banking story
whose point lay in some detail of the
routine Of the clearing house. And yet
the latter might be by far the better
of the two. The fun of the story Of
the new boy in the machine shop who
is told to fetch a bucket of steam from
the engine room is obvious enough,
but that Of an anecdote turning on
some technical point of machine con-
struction will appeal only to the mi
tate. Medicine has its strictly pro-
fessional anecdotes of sickroom, con-
sulting room and operating room,
many Of which would be grisly to
the layman If he could grasp their
meaning; but 1t has also, for his
amusement, its tales of the amazing
misinterpretations of medical direc-
tons by the unsophisticated patients,
| chiefly of Irish and German nativity.
The church and the law. the arts and
the sciences all have this double form
of humor. No doubt even the under
| takers shop has its fund of anecdote.
One willingly takes it for granted.
The body of humor keeps close step
with progress and development in all
| the professions, trades and industries.
The humorous columns of their or
gans are there to prove it. No doubt
aviation has already developed fund
Of technical anecdotes of its own.

MINcE PIE FOR BREAKFAST
Ut Might Pay Those Who Declare II IL
Wrong to Try IL for
Awhile.

When our Puritan ancestors wished
to throw the last touch of cerulean
gloom into the blue laws they enacted
10 wit: THAT no one shall make mince
pies, or play any instrument. except
the trumpet, drum, and jew sharp" As
a means of notifying the flesh and
throwing a damper on the Joys of the
world this prohibition of mince pies
was ever regarded as more effective
than placing the aforementioned mu-
steal instruments in unskilled hands.
1t afforded almost as much quiet
pleasure TO the early New England
conscience as refusing food and iodg-
ing ito Quakers and other here
ties"
When the reaction set In 1t follow
ed the pendulous law of reforms and
swung just as far the other wav.
The skill in the making of mince pies
became the very touchstone of good
citizenship, The recipes always emu
merated the brandy and the currants
and the raisins first, and then. as a
sort of afterthought, made casual men,
ton that little finely cut meat"
might improve the mince.
But the uncongenial environment un-
der which the mince pie was born left
upon 1t a superstitious tradition that it
was not altogether wholesome. In
spite of the increasing number of peo-
pie who survive a second helping this
prejudice obtains here and there unto
the present time.
