A DIFFERENT, EVERLASTING, ECONOMICAL FINISH

The Booster

The chap who thinks the neighborhood In which he lives is just as good As any place beneath the skies, And who will never criticize His fellow men who live nearby, Nor find their doings all awry, Helps make that neighborhood of his As good as he believes it is.

The chap who thinks his own home town Deserves a laurel leaf and crown And brags about it far and near To everyone who cares to hear, And claims there is no place on earth That has so many things of worth, Makes any town that he may grace A pretty good abiding place.

The c[ap who loves each grain of sand Within his own dear native land, And is convinced no fag's unfurled Orer any nation in the world That has the institutions great That may be found in his own state, Helps any land where he may live To merit praise superlative.

He Could Tell

The late Ambassador Walter Page was formerly editor of World's Work, and like all editors was obliged to refuse a great many manuscripts. A lady once wrote him:

"Sir: You sent back, last week, a story of mine. I know that you did not read the story for as a test I pasted the pages lE, 19 and 20 together, and the story came back with those pages still pasted, so I know that you are a fraud and turn down stories without reading them."

Mr. Page wrote back: "Madam: At breakfast when I open an egg, I don't have to eat the whole egg to discover it's bad."

A Toast

ffere's to the man who plans thingsBuilds things-makes things; Who prattles not of wonders of old, Nor gloats over ancestral gold, But takes off his coat and takes hold And does things.

-Boston Transcript.

Soviet Russia

To the business man Soviet Russia stands as a model of incompetence and inefficiency. To the social worker it is a thrilling experiment in social adjustment. To the laborer it is an attempt to rule by the hitherto disinherited. To some sentimentalists who sojourn there for a few days, it is a beautiful dream. And to the tourist de luxe it is a damnable discomfort.-F. M. Friedman.

Be Slow To Say No

We should all be very careful when we say "no" to a suggested improvement or plan made by a subordinate. A "no" in most cases is final. If we say "yes," the matter usually comes up for review by other superior officers, which gives such suggestion the advantage of having several officers review it. We are usually more careful when we say "yes" because we know that our "yes" decisions will have to stand the test of further approval. As a matter of fact, we should be more careful with our "noes" for the reason that they do not have to stand the test of performance or further approval.-A. W. Robertson, Chairman, Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Co.

ANDOVER:S CREED

(From "The Vagabond")

If you were a professor at Andover Theological Seminary, would you be able to keep a straight face when you stood up and repeated publicly the creed which each teacher must repeat? Just enough of it is reprinted here so that you may get the flavor of it:

"I believe that in consequence of Adam's disobedience, all his descendants were constituted sin4ers; that by nature every man is personally depraved, destitute of holiness, that the wicked will, with devils, be plunged into the lake, that burneth with fire and brimstone forever, and furthermore I do solemnly promise that I will maintain and inculcate the Creed by me now repeated in opposition not only to Athiests, and Infidels, but to Jews, Papists, Mohamedans, Arians, Pelegians, Antinomians, Socinians, Sabellians, Unitarians, and Universalists; and to all other heresies and errors, ancient and modern."

East B.y Club Hearc Talk on Olympic Games

A large and representative crorvd of lumbermen was on hand to greet Earle E. Johnson of Livermore, the new president of East Bay Hoo Hoo Club No. 39 at the monthly dinner meeting of the club held at the Athens Athletic Club, Oakland, n4onday evening, September 19.

President Johnson appointed Douglas Cook chairman of the attendance committee and Taylor Sublett chairman of the membership committee.

Taylor Sublett, organizer of the University Extension Course for lumbermen, asked employers present to recommend the course to their employees.

Professor Emanuel Fritz, associate professor of the School of Forestry, University of California, who will be instructor of the new class, complimented Mr. Sublett on his organization rvork, and outlined the scope of the course, rvhich he said would not be a salesmanship course, but a semi-technical one which he hoped would help to build up a background that will enable the students to know their product better.

A. C. Horner, manager of the Western office of the National Lumbpr Manufacturers Association, said he is certain the course will help lumbermen to sell more lumber, and gave instances where the information put out by his association had enabled many dealers to sell more lumber. He told also of cases where the National had been able to convince many architects throughout the country that rvood sash are not inferior to metal sash, and stressed the importance of having the right technical information at hand when it is needed. He described the class as the most forward looking project put on by any organization in the I I Western states. Mr. Horner concluded by giving a brief outline of a Gr4des IJse Book now in course of preparation by the National Association which will enable architects to determine what kind and grade of lumber to use for any partigular structure.

M. R. Henry, publisher of the Livermore Herald, the speaker of the evening, spoke on ..The lJnusual in the Olympic Games," and proved a most entertaining narrator of the many incidents that occurred which gripped the emotions of the spectators. in the course of the running of these great interriational competitions. In describing the incident in the 5000 meters race where the Japanese runner, running absolutely last, gracefully ran wide to permit the first and second runners to keep their positions, Mr. Henry made his hearers feel just about as the 25,000 spectators felt when they spontaneously jumped to their feet and applauded this Japanese runner as no other individual athlete was applauded in any event. Truly, as he said, happenings like this and others that he described do more to breed understanding and keep the peace between nations than regiments of diplomats.
