Booklet Shows "How cnd Where to Use More Windows"

An attractive new booklet has just been published by Curtis Companies Incorporated, Clinton, Iowa, manufacturers of Curtis Woodwork and Silentite Windows. This is called "How and Where to use More Windows."

There has been some confusion in the minds of Mr. and Mrs. America as how to go about using more windows when building or remodeling, so Curtis decided to publish an informative booklet, featuring every practical use of moderrt windows in the home. Remodeling is also given consideration, and there is a page on pointers for home-owners-to-be, under the subject of "What to look for when choosing windows."

This booklet will be used by Curtis as part of their regular follow-up to prospective builders who answer advertising on the Silentite window line-also with those prospective builders whose names are sent to Curtis by the dealer. Those interested in securing a copy may get one free by writing to Curtis Companies Service Bureau, Clinton, Iorva.

Faded He Scys

They had been four-bitsing and dollaring along in the colored crap game.for some time, and "Tinhorn" Jones was oll loser, and not at all happy about it. Anxious for a chance to get even, he counted out ten one-dollar bills, laid them carefully on the floor in front of him, picked up the dice and started to warm them, while making his plea for action.

"Step up heah, Niggirhs, and get you' money down. You'se got me losah in dishere game, and I aims t'git even wid one pass. So who fades me fo' dis ten dollahs I gots layin' heah? I wants to know, men, is I faded, or isn't I faded?"

A tall stranger had approached while this was going on, and he both looked and listened. Then, as none of the regulars in the game showed any disposition to fade the dice shooter for the ten dollars, the newcorner reached down in his pocket and pulled out a ro'll of bills of large denominations big enough to choke a derby hat plumb full, and shoving it before the nose of the man with the dice, he remarks, coldly:

"Is you faded, you wants to know? Boy look! See dis roll? Yo,u is mo' dan faded, Boy-ygg IS BLEACHED !"

Thrilt

A young man once found a two dollar bill in the road. From that time on he never lifted his eyes from the ground while walking. fn the course of 40 years he accumulated 29,516 buttons,54,172 pins, 7 cents in pennies, a bent back, and a miserly disposition.

He lost the glories of the sunlight, the smiles of his friends, the songs of birds, the beauties of nature, and the opportunity to serve his fellow man and spread happiness.

Young Mother

By Elaine Bassett

I like to think of Mother

As an Alpine mountain guide, A leader who is looking up Around whose waist is tied A rope to help her children

Up a rocky mountain side.

The rope is made of twisted cords, Of dreams and prayers and tears, ft stronger grows from day to day, And will outlast the years.

Tooting Your Horn

Tiorio said: "A ,man has the right to toot his own horn to his heart's content, So long as he stays in his own home, keeps the windo,qrs closed, and does not make himself obnoxious to his neighbors.

Bcrd Odors

William Pitt, British Prime Minister in 1800, said: "There is scarcely anything around us but ruin and despair."

In 1848 Lord Shaftesbury said: "Nothing can save the British Empire from shipwreck."

In 1849, the renowned Disraeli said: "In industry, commerce, and agriculture, there is no hope."

The great Duke of Wellington on the eve of his death in 1851 whispered: "I thank God I am spared the consummation of the ruin that is gathering around us."

Conlerence

A conference is a group of men who individually can do nothing, but collectively can meet and decide that nothing can be done.

Mcde in Germcny

Satan decided to have a house cleaning. He scoured and scrubbed and papered and painted and soon had his interior looking fresh and new. Then he went and looked at the outside and decided to renew that also. When the painters and carpenters had about finished up, his Brimstone majesty noticed that the old sign over the door was badly worn and weather-beaten. It read: "Abandon hope all ye who enter here." He sent for the sign-painter and had him paint a new sign, up-to-date, which read: "Made in Germany."

The ]udgrment of Solomon

The famous decision of Solomon with regard to the ownership of a certain young child, was never any better than the one a red-nosed gent rendered recently on one of our crowded trains.

ft was a chilly day. Two women in one section got to quarreling about whether the window should be open or shut. One wanted it open; said if it were not opened soon she would certainly suffocate. The other declared that she couldn't stand the damp air, and if the window were opened she would certainly catch the flu and die. So they called the cotrored porter. One of them demanded that he open the window. The other just as insistently demanded that it stay shut. The worried porter didn't know what to do.

A short distance down the aisle sat a red-nosed old gent who looked as though he had been places and seen things. He noticed the dilemma of the porter, and proceeded to advise him. He asked the porter why he did not do as he was told. The porter said he couldn't, since one wanted the window shut, and the other wanted it open. The rednosld gent said:

"Do what both of them tell you to, porter, and you'll be all right. First, open the window. That will kill one of them, according to her own statement. Then close it. That will kill the other. Then, maybe, we can continue this ride in peace."
