Bring happy thoughts of homelife,
Which nowhere else can be found
There's joy in every shady nook
For many days to come.
1t shines on every happy home,
Whichever way you look.

leaf from off the maple tree
Brings back so many memories,
That are very dear to me.
Now l am looking at the past
Those happy days so long ago,
When she who was the lovely bride
Brought so much joy and peace at last
But the neyer-failing scythe of time
Cuts down SO many cherished memories
And the past seems dark with shadows

Ask Ne Another

Q. E., Shipfitter, First Shift: Divide the total number times at bat into the total number of base hits and you get your batting av- craze. Simple, isn't it?
 c. G., Shipfitter, First Shift: Proving box score is simply the number of a teams at bats plus bases on balls plus hit hatsmen plus sacrifice hits plus first base on catchers interference should equal the number of runs scored by said team plus the number of men left on base plus the putouts of the opposing team. Add a lit tie vanilla and a pinch of sugar and you have distilled another plus. However, the above is the correct procedure.
 D. c. Shipfitter, First Shift: Yes, several times a game has been played in less than an hour over the nine inning stretch. The Gi- ants and Phillies played a game in 51 minutes, Sept. 28, 1919, and the Browns and Tanks played one in 55 minutes, Sept. 26, 1926. What is believed to be the all-time rec ord, however, was made in 8 Southern Association game be- tween Atlanta and Mobile on Sept. IT, 1910-just B minutes! Each team made five hits and Atlanta won, 2 to l.

dying of starvation by the thou sands. You have no doubt agon- ized as I have over newsreels showing little children stretched out stiff in death, lying in the wreckage of a bombed European town. And you have felt, as I have, a desperate urgency to do some thing about it-you have asked yourself What can I do?'
 We'll, you know you can buy bonds, and practically everybody does, but there is something else you can do, something so easy and apparently trivial that nobody wants to bother doing it. Yet if everyone would do it, production would be stepped up immeasura- bly, and, as a sort of bonus, every employee would benefit personal ly, too. And that is tc obey the rules for safety which everyone in the company knows so we'll, and which so many workers disregard so blithely.
 There's the matter of safety glasses. Just last week a member of my family lost almost a week s work because two steel splinters lodged in his eye and an ulcer re- suited. Had he been wearing glasses he would have been able to contribute the lost week S effort to the cause, and in addition he'd have saved himself lot of pain and inconvenience. On the bus the other day I met a girl who was on her way to the doctors for the. same reason. When I asked her why she hadn't been using glasses she complained that she felt that she looked awful in them. Well, a weeks pay is a high price to pay for glamour both in dollars and cents and in detriment to the war effort.
 Most of the women who work in the yard are doing swell job, and they can be outstandingly helpful in the company's campaign to cut down accidents. You may not yet be able to bend pipe in bow-knots but if you can turn in record for a low percentage of accidents at work, gents and gals, you'll De contributing more to the war effort than the most skillful mechanic who puts himself in the hospital for months, by not look ing where he's going or by forget ting to wear his helmet. As one who polishes no apples, will state that I am reliably informed that the company has made every pos sible provision for the prevention of accidents. Now it's your job

Jefferson was reported to have written as follows:
 T have ever looked to the sub- marine boat as most to be depend- ed upon at attacking torpedoes and I am in hopes that it will not be abandoned as impractical" The queen bee is noble soul Who doesn't believe in birth con-
