As a result of this action or policy, it is known that over $150,000,00O of excess building materials have been transferred to other proje,cts and other governmental agencies for war use. It is estimated that the remaining quantity in the aggregate does not exceed $75,000,000 or less than two-thirds of 1 per c€irt of the whole domestic war construction program conducted by the Corps of Engineers. o Box Shook o Assembled Boxes

"From the point of view of lumber, the magnitude of the program is probably best emphasized by the statement that in a single month, the lumber business supplied more than one billion feet of lumber for army construction alone. Housing facilities provided under the program are more than adequate to care for the entiie population of the city of Chicago. In one month, Jaly, 1942, the Corps of Engineers put in place $751,000,000 of construction, a record never hitherto equaled in the history of the world. When one considers the size of the job and the speed of the_ job, one can conclude, quite properly, that the Corps of Engineers feels a justifiable pride in this record.

"The matter of disposal of the remaining excess materials has the constant attention of the Office, Chief of Engineers. It is not the intention of this office that any materials, particularly lumber, shall be retained without a reasonable belief that benefi,cial use will be made of it. When one sees lumber piles .around the country, one should keep in mind, first, the immensity of the undertaking and second, the necessity for a constant program of main: tenance and repair."

But Fcst It Wcrs Different

Mose had been arrested for speeding. This was his fifth offense, so the Judge pronounced the highest possible fine and jail sentence on him. As he did so, there came from the tight lips of the defendant something that sounded suspiciously like an oath. The Judge fared up.

"Repeat what you just said," he demanded. "Repeat it aloud so I can understand it!"

"Judge, Suh," said Mose, "a11 f said was-'God am de Jedge'-yassuh, dass all I said, jes' 'God am de Jedge'dass all."

neserif*rc'Senator

George ff. Moses, colorful and brilliant United States Senator from New ffampshire, was described in the following words by a bright word carpenter named Line Harger:

"ffe goes to the mat with everything and everybody. He shakes everybody's hand. Half politician and half business man he interprets business to the politician and politics to business. He is no middle grounder. He belongs by birth to the class that is traditionally free from hypocrisy. He was not boisterously contemptuous of the members of the Senate: he was quietly contemptuous. His voice had a note of well bred impatience in it. In the Senate he had courage. He had convictions-but he was lonely."

Not Rattled a Bit

A squadron observer was called in by his commander and asked if he had been nervous during an air attack. He said no, he was not the least bit rattled.

The commander said: "Glad to hear it. But I can't help asking then why it was that you reported that there were twenty-seven thousand bombers coming over at eighteen feet?"

Goqd Advertising

A junk yard at a railroad crossing carries this hint to motorists: "Go ahead ! Take a chance ! We'll buy the wreck !"

He Knew the Answers

The cusiomer was inclined to be pretty critical. Finally he said to the real estate man:

"Just what do I get for my money, young man, if f rent this apartment?"

The salesman said: 'Just this, Mister; you get a home on which we pay the taxes, the insurance, the water bill, we buy your heating fuel, we fire your furnace and water heater, we furnish your window shades, gas stove, electric ice box, we do your decorating and repairing, cut your grass, sweep your walks, clean your hall, pay the light bill for your garage, empty your garbage can, fight your battles with the neighbors-and you ask me what do you get for your rent money!"
