government inspired pamphlets on housing
and roofing materials which Miss L. distrib-
utes among the branch Offices indicated by
colored pins on the library wall map.
In fact, everything is running so smoothly
that can think of no improvements, even
though long to drop few lines into the
Suggestion Box which is under the wall map.
This Suggestion Box is important, accord
ing to Ernest Trigg, the Boss's executive
assistant. Ernest has funereal face, prob
ably brought on by his hobbies: building
house in Pelham and raising thornless rambler
roses. The complications Jogging his roseate
dreams are that the house foundation cannot
be dug until he knows the space needed for
his Horvath setigira hybrids. Daily he comes
into the library, his soft hands bristling with
tiny thorns.
Although Miss L., being handy with the
first-aid kit, patiently removes the thorns,
she does not fall into raptures over housing,
even in Pelham. She has been saving her
money since the Hoover administration to
buy trailer, and today, when Ernest peers
at the map as she moves pins over our far
flung operations he remarks that the Ameri-
can home is here to stay.
Miss L. moves black pin from Chicago to
Omaha and replies wistfully that she can
hardly wait to buy her trailer, the housing
problem being what it is. Ernest departs in
huff, but is back in no time.
