SAYS HE'S A MECHANIC NOT
 A CHORUS GIRL

You have read the "keep smiling" desk notices which help to make the business man tired, but don't believe an incurably cheerful person exists in real life. Then meet John Milburn.
 He walked into a Kansas City hos pital few days ago and told the physician in charge he was i'll, had no regular work and no relatives in the city. Any friends? He gave the name of a woman for whom he fires a furnace. Valuables? Thirty-one cents and an artificial leg.
 "I made it myself" he said, looking proudly at the leg. The foot, carved from a block of wood with a jack knife, is hinged to a piece of galvani- zed iron pipe. Hinged rods from an old buggy top make the knee joint.
 "I lost my leg in railroad accident about six years ago." Milburn ex- plained. "When I got out of the hos pital I had no job and no money. had to have leg before l could get job. The fancy ones cost fortune, so I made this. 1 have been working on it ever since until I was hurt in & packing company about two months ago. Since then I have been little puny, but I will be all right soon."
 Doesn't the leg hamper you in your work?" he was asked.
 He laughed at the idea q am a mechanic, not chorus girl," he said.
