subway this morning" said
Louis Birsky, the real estater,
ITO Barnett Zapp, the waist manufac
turer. as they met for luncheon at the
corner table in Wasserbauer's. HE
tells me he is going to make from his
boy a painter.
-Some people don't give a swear
what becomes of their children Zapp
commented.
rs 1t such bad job to be paint
err" Birsky asked.
Seemingly Max Maikafer don't
think so," Zapp replied. Maybe he
would enjoy it to see his son break his
neck from a ladder, Birsky"
"What are you talking nonsense
break his neck from a ladder?' Birsky
exclaimed.
"a scaffold is just as dangerous"
Zapp went on. yesterday 1 am seeing
a couple fellers painting from the side
of building ten stories high, and
even though one of them was an Ital-
iener, I got so dizzy watching 'em that
before / could eat my lunch at all 1T
cost me 10 cents for some mathematic
spirits of ammonia. If / would got to
earn my living as painter, 1 would
a whole lot sooner be an aviator, be-
cause while the funeral expenses is
the same as for painter, an aviator
don't linger long enou-h to run up
doctors bill on his wi iow.'
''You got the wrons idea, Zapp,"
lBirsky said. 'Maikafer's boy would
he not a house painter but picture
painter"
"a picture painter Zapp cried.
"And 1 thought Max Haikafer was
business man. Why drnt he learn the
boy trade where he eould make real
big money, like butssnbole maker or
a poet?"
'SThat only goes show what you
know from poets" Birsky retorted.
"Jake Margonin, f'om the Fashion
Store, Indianapolis, old me that right
now there is a felleI which from only
being a poet is nov owning most of
the gilt-edged real estate in the city
of Indianapolis"

New York last May. He was then a

for enlistment of nine regiments Of en-
increased to thirty-four regiments,
their mobilization and training At
camps and their sailing passed quietly
and little was heard OF these men until
. week or 80 ago the news dispatches
carried stories Of how a little group
OF Americans had thrown down their
shovels to take up rifles and help the
british when the Americans were
caught IN turning movement OF the
Germans near Gouzeaucourt.
This handful Of men who snatched
glory out Of the Germans surprise
were the arst Of the many thousands
OF engineers to draw headline at
ton to their work over there.
But It is a gigantic task these thou
sands are rushing to completion be-
hind the French and British lines. They
are organizing troops for lumber sup
ply, road construction, mining, map
ping. camoufiage work, gas and flame
work. They have already taken over
the French railways for operation and
by spring twelve hundred miles of
French highways will be operated by
American road experts.
