THE HANDY MAN The handy man he mends the fence, He has at least hundred bents; Packs faucet with the greatest of ease, Changes fuse and sprays the trees. The handy man is furnace stoker, Quite adept at yielding poker.
 He's very good
 At polishing wood,
 He rakes the leaves
 And firmly believes Autumn's the time to paint his place, The house, the barn, so he sets the pace, Hauling, mending, with no particular plan, Patching, fixing, yes, the handy man
 Expects busy fall
 Papering the wall
 Very very busy,
 Tinkering with his lizzie.

Besides learning the art of saving

professor of management at Purdue
university, DR.. Gilbreth has watched
the doors CT the engineering profess
sion slowly open to women. During
the wartime manpower shortage,
more and more girls have elected
her courses and competently filled
positions following graduation.
Their first chance at the engi-

women can do the job. They have
shown the fallacy that the feminine
mind is not mathematical and is not
fitted for design and detail. If they
are backward in the inventive end,
it is only because they are new in
the field. But women excel in patti
ence and dexterity, she says.
