il pisal novo delo, je potreboval
neko knjigo, XII jo je bill videl
knjiznici svojega soseda. Postal
je slugo ponjo. A sosed mu je po
slugi sporocil: "Svojih knjig il
princija ne posojujem. Lahko pa
principa ne posojujem. Lahko pa
preberete moji knjiznici."
Mark Twain nj Sci k sosedu.
A cez nekaj dni je sosed potrebo-
val koso. In postal je k Marku
Twainu svojega slugo in po MEM
prosil pisatelja, maj mu posodi
koso. A Mark Twain je odgovo-
ril: "Svojega vrtnega orodja il
principa ne posojam. Lahko pa
uporabljate mojo koso, kadar
koli hocete ma mojem vrtu."
Mark Twain je dobil nekoc pi-
smo cd zelo ugledne osebnosti.
A ma pismo nj odgovoril. Napo-
sled je ugledna osebnost poslala
Twainu znamko "a odgovor. In
humorist il je napisal takle od-
govor: "Znamko prejel. Posljite
Sc papir in koverto."
| Mexico je rekel Twain novinar-
ju: "Vprasate, ali imam brata.
To je uganka. Prisla sva namree
kot d:cj6ka ma svet in ko mama
je bilo stirinajst dni, naju je Pc
stunja kopala v kadi. Med kopa-
MEM je skoeila spalnico po
brisaco in medtem je eden iznaed
naju utonil, bila sva 81 tako
podobna, da nj mogel nihce do
snati, ali sem bill utopljenec JAZZ
ali moi bratec. Vidite, in ia skrb
me Sc danes tare."
Roosevelt
Predsednik Roosevelt je prisel
" Minnesota, da hi govoril ma
zborovanju. Preden je zacel, so
Sc oglasili kriki: mi hocemo po-
ceni mleko!' Roosevelt je poca-
kal, da SO kriki utihnili, nato je
dejal: "Oprostite, JAZZ sem pred
sednik in ne MOLINA krava."
Thoma
Ma nekem koncertu so predva-
jail Beethovenovo cetrto simfo-
MILO. V prvi vrsti je sedel tudi
slikar Thoma. Njegov sosed je
opomnil med odmorom: "To hi
bilo morda Sc cisto dobro, toda
stvar Sc mi zdi predolga."
A Thoma mu je odgovoril:
"Stvar nj eisto mic predolga, pac
pa ste vi najbrz nekoliko pre-
kratki."
Bernard Shaw
Mad pisatelj je postal Bernar-
du Shawn v oceno svoje novo Ii
terarno delo. In sivolasi satirik
mu je napisal takole oceno: "Va-
Sc delo vsebuje rnogo lepega in
mnogo novega. LIE, da kar je no.
vega, nj lepo, kar je lepega, nj
novo."
Chaplin
Ko Sc je Chaplin Sc kot maj
hen deeko vracal IL Sole, je v ne
XII trgoyini razbil okno. Precej
je zacel bezati, toda trgovec je
bill hitrejsi in ga je ujel. "Ti raz-
bojnik mali" mu je rekel, "ali
ne YES, da je treba okno tudi
placati, &c ga razbijes?"
"Vem," je odgovoril Chaplin,
"zato sem pa tudi tekel, da bi
pref prinesel denar cd doma."
Kainz
Slavnemu igralcu Kainzu Sc nj
godilo vedno tako dobro kot
poslednjih letih. Y mladih letih
je moral dolgo igrati po majhnih
podezelskih odrih. Mexico je ma
TAKEN n1ajhnem odru igral 4ju-

tiative. Hard work and self dependence are among those first principles.
 Europe needs production. We can supply the machinery on the basis that it may be paid for with goods produced. We can keep down our trade barriers and buy from Europe. Only in that way can those nations get on their feet and buy from us. There are definite ways to help war torn Europe without imposing the serious injury of continued, out right aid. The sooner our help gets on that basis, the better for everybody.

distinctly, and in pleasant tone
of voice. My observation has been
that they average pretty high the

On the other hand, switchboard
operators in stores, hotels, large
corporations, and other such busi-
ness houses, are largely chosen
more for their manual dexterity IN
keeping their PIX channels oper-
ating efficiently than for their tele-
phone voices, enunciatlon, ana
manners.
PIX operators have a nerve
shattering job. They stand as
link between the company and the
public-and the public's telephone
manners generally are far from
being perfect.
Still, the switchboard girl Is .
specialist who has 1t In her power
to create good will or Ill will for
her employers. She should be as
carefully trained for her 1mpor-
tant lob as the salespeopls who
serve the public in person.
A snippish, jittery, or careless
operator can be. and usually Is,
decided detriment. Conversely, the
voiced, unhurried, and In
telligible operator is a pearl with
out price.
j Pointers for PIX girls: Avoid the
nasal, high pitched voice; speak IN
the middle register where the tones
are warm and friendly. Do not,
because of countless repetition.
