What is it, any­way?" “Shoe leather.” • Matter of Time Wife: “The couple next door seem to be very devoted. He kisses her every time they meet. Why don’t you do that?” Husband: “I don’t know her well enough yet ” • Checkmate! Tommy, aged fourteen, set out to get a job. He asked a foreman of a local en­gineering works for one. “What can you do, Son­ny?” asked the foreman. “Anything,” replied Tom­my. “Can you file smoke?” asked the foreman. “Yes, sir,” replied Tommy v/ith ia grin, “if you’ll screw it in the vise for me.” He got the job! • The Details “Daughter,” said the fa­ther, “is that young man serious in his intentions?” “Guess he must be, Dad,” she replied. “He’s asked how much I make, what kind of meals we have, and how you and mother are to live with.” • Mutual Groom—“You can’t ima­gine how nervous I was when I proposed to you.” Bride—“You can’t ima­gine how nervous I was un­til you did.” Questionable “Now,” said the youth, after getting his father seat­ed at the football game, “you’ll see more excitement for two dollars than you ever saw before.” “I don’t know,” replied the old gent. “That’s what my­­marriage license cost.” • “De Class” “Miss Alice ain’t home,” said the colored maid to a caller. “She’s done gone down to de class ” “What class?” asked the caller. “Miss Alice gwine to be married, you know, an’ she’s taking lessons in domestic silence.” Once More “Here, boy,” said the wealthy motorist. “I want some gasoline, and please get a move on! You’ll never get anywhere in the world unless you push. Push is es­sential. When I was young I pushed and that got me where I am.” “Well, guv’nor,” replied the boy, “we ain’t got a drop of gas in the place, so I reckon you’ll have to push again!” • Sure Did He espied his neighbor coming along the road with his fishing tackle on his back. “Catch anything, old boy?” he eagerly asked.

What were they?” “The 7:30 there, and the 5:15 back,” came the un­happy angler’s reply. • Fools Wife: All men are fools. Husband: Yes, dear. We were made fools so the girls wouldn’t all be old maids. • Times Change Grandfather cut firewood in the timber. Walked beside the wagon in zero weather. Carried lines over his should­er and whipped his hands around his body to keep from freezing. Now his grandson thinks he is rough­ing it if he has to drive a sedan without a heater. Hungarian Literacy has been started. The summer school is be­ing held at the American- Hungarian Home, 17th & Cuming street, Omaha, Neb­raska. Long a dream of Mr. Gas­­par Kuti, President of the Omaha Branch, the summer school is being conducted under the expert guidance of Mrs. Andrew Kovalik and Miss Jolán Ruisz. The students are divided into two groups, according to ages. Mrs. Kovalik teaches the youngsters in the morn­ing session, with Miss Ruisz completing the day with the older members; three days each week, for each group has been scheduled. The Hungarians of Omaha, Nebraska, are indeed grate­ful to Mr. Kuti for his un­tiring efforts in this respect. We feel confident that in the coming years the present “younger generation” will be fluent speakers of Hun­garian, all because of “Kuti Bácsi”.--------------------O-------------------­BRANCH 40 TO HOLD PICNIC Branch 40, Martins Ferry, Ohio, will hold a picnic on Sunday, July 14tti, at Ries­­beck’s farm, beginning 1:00 p. m., to be held for the benefit of the ball club. A variety of refreshments One On Him A veterinary surgeon was instructing a farmer as to a suitable method for ad­ministering medicine to a horse. “Simply place this powder in a gas pipe about two feet long, put one end of the pipe well tuck in the horse’s mouth and blow the powder down his throat.” Shortly thereafter the farmer came running into the veterinary’s office in a distressed condition. “What’s _ the matter?” asked the veterinary. “I’m dying!” cried the farmer. “The horse blew first.” Val Konyha, Jr- Publicity Mgr. Br. 40.--------------------O--------------------PICNIC of BRANCH 452 A picnic will be held at the Louis, West Virginia, ball park in the vicinity of the beach, on Sunday, July 14th, by Branch 452 of Col­liers, West Virginia. A feature of the day will be the baseball game. Our team is under the management of Martin Ragan. The day promises to be interesting and will be en­joyed by those participating in the festivities. We extend our invitation to attend to those outside our branch. Fraternally, Denis Pcifalvy, Publicity Mgr. Br. 452.--------------------O-------------------­THE TOWER CLOCK I guess the old tower clock was checking off the hours even when my grandfather was a boy. They had to re­pair the works now and then, and once in a while replace its honest old face. But essentially it never changed, despite the fact that its main job in life was to record change, hour after hour. Scurrying feet would lag under its shadow as it announced the hour so as not to miss a stroke, prefer­ring to get the time this Principles Are Principal When William died sud­denly the neighbors were shocked, and a kindly wo­man proceeded to comfort William’s wife by describing his good points. “He was such a man of principle.” said the neighbor. “And am I not the one to know it?” said the bereaved woman. “Every Saturday night didn’t he come home md place his pay envelope in front of me as regular as clockwork? Not a night did he miss all the time we were married. “Of course, the envelope was always empty, but look at the principle of the thing!” year after year, countless hundreds of our townsfolk timed their lives by the old tower clock. They built new houses and new store build­ings and they tore down the old ones. They put new streets where there was only pasture before, and they made great parks where blocks of buildings once formed a jagged skyline. But in all the change, the old tower stood and the clock with it. Unchanged, un­swayed by the things men do and become, the old clock stays right there, counting out the hours, so many to each of us. And we come at last to realize thait men may come and men may go, may build cities, fight wars, paint pictures, write books—but Time remains master of all.--------------------O-------------------­DO YOU KNOW that en everlasting tribute is paid to the heroism of the Hungarians in a picture that decorates the White House in the Nation’s capi­to!, depicting the suicidal attack led by the Magyar hussar-major, Zágonyi, at Springfield? Another Hun­garian, Colonel Imre Spelle­­tich was known throughout the United States as the hero of Fort Donaldson. There were also seven se­nior Hungarian officers on the staff of General Fre­mont. OMAHA BRANCH STARTS SUMMER SCHOOL By Andrew C. Simcho With the arrival of thirty­­five text books from the Verhovay headquarters, a well-filled summer school in will be served. There will be music fur­nished, and provisions will be made for those who care to play games, which will begin in the evening. We invite all the near-by branches to participate with us in this affair. Fraternally, way, rather than crane the neck to read the hands. Laggard feet, as the first bell tolled, would suddenly start and pick up speed, already knowing the time was Me, too much in fear of tardiness already to stay and confirm their worst suspicions. And thus it went,
