 Recently he heard that an inc poYta1t executive was having c cost ly new car repainted in hashy col. ors, blue with Q red stripe. Brown telephoned him and in 20 minutes of heavily accented conversation, broke the news of Q little accident to the beautiful red car with q blue stripe. What that wasn't the color Scheme?--well, that's the way he had painted 1t.
 But 1t didn't make any difference anyway, said Brown, because he had dropped . match if1 . can of paint, and the paint had burned Up, and 50 had the car. The victim of the joke burned Up, too-spontaneots combustion.

Defies Jinxes
 There b c good-Sized streak Of perversity in Joseph Evan Brown. It may be that he stuck to show btiSi- ness during his carly years because those times were 50 very lean and painfully difiicult. He's anti.super- stitious; deliberately 1iouts the standard jinxeS, such as breaking mirrors and whistling in dressing rooms, as 6 gesture Of defiance.
 In the same way, his ir1sistenct on clean comedy is 6 hangover oi revulsion against his early comedy training in burleSquc. Brown wal scarcely more than Q kid when ht

 Somebody said, "Joe, try blowing in his ear. I've heard lions dont like that"

present time the trend of building costs
is not favorable, the index having risen
from 93.7 in December to the current
figure Of 97S.
"A year ago the index was e33.
Rents, however, may show some further
rise. Rents lag behind commodity
prices and they have not yet accounted
for the full rise In prices. The differ
ence, however, is only slight since COM
modify prices have not advanced over
the past year.
Consequently, unless commodity
prices renew their upward movement,
1t may be expected that the rise In
rents will soon be halted at level
not far above the present one. Com
modify prices have lately shown a
tendency to weaken and there is evi-
dence that q recession is under way.
IF this proves to be the case, rents
may be lower next year than at the
present time. Under such conditions,
the recovery in building activity is
likely to receive setback. Such set
back, however, should make for lower
building costs, which would result in a
