Generous Mrs. Nubride—Well? Stranger (at door)—I’m a bill collector. Mrs. Nubride—Oh, that’s splendid! You just come in and I’ll give you as many as you can carry. Efficient Employer (to newly hired typist): “Now I hope you thoroughly understand the importance of punctuation?” • Stenographer: “Oh, yes, indeed. I always get to work on time." Help Caller: “Good morning, Madam, I’m from the Electric Company and understand there is something in the house that won’t work.” Answer: “No, he’s in the back yard.” Big Surprise Wife: “I have a surprise for you, dear. There will soon be another in our family.” Husband: “My angel! Are you sure?" Wife: “Yes, I just received a wire from my mother that she’s coming to live with us next week." Explained Husband (reprovingly)— Didn’t I hear you tell your friends that your pretty dress came from abroad? Wife—Not exactly, dear. You see, it’s last year’s dress which I turned inside out. I simply said, “It’s from the other side.” Too Soon It was during the impaneling of a jury that the following colloquy occurred: “You are a property holder?" “Yes, your honor." “Married or single?” “I have been married five years, your honor.” “Have you formed or expressed an opinion?" “Not in fiye years, your honor.” Let Down! He: “Meet me at the Waldorf Astoria at eight.” She: “The Waldorf? Say, that’s a nice place.” He: “Yeah, and it’s close to where we’re going, too.” Free Judge: “The jury having acquitted you of the charge of bigamy, you are free to leave the court and go home.” Prisoner: “Thank you, your Honor, but I want to be on the safe side—which home?” A Rip Van Winkle The beautiful young girl shook her head decidedly. “No, Mr. Grotox, I cannot marry you,” she said. “You are over 70, and I am only 16." The old man shrugged his shoulders. “All right, dearie,” he sighed, “I’ll wait.” Enticing Believe it or not, but a couple of widely known businessmen recently went to a trade convention in a nearby city and managed to break away from their wives long enough to have a quiet little dinner together in a cafe.

STAMP NOTES Scoop on Hungarian Stamps A new set of five postage stamps was issued in Hungary on September 21st to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Hungary’s great statesman, Stephen Széchenyi. The large sized oblong stamps are issued without surcharge and will be in use until July, 1942. The 10 fillérs value olive green stamp shows the portrait of Széchenyi and the family coat of arms. The 16 fillérs brown shows Széchenyi as the founder of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, with the Academy building in the background On the 20 fillérs purple stamp there is a giant forcing wide the crags of the Kazán Pass on the Lower Danube, symbolizing one of Széchenyi’s greatest works, which was to make navigable this difficult passage of the great river. The 32 fillérs reddishorange stamp shows Széchenyi’s other great life work, the Suspension Bridge at Budapest, designed and built by an English architect, Adam Clark. Lastly, the 40 fillérs value blue symbolizes Mercury, with the picture of a steamer and a railroad engine.--------------O--------------HERE COMES WINTER Fall and winter are on their way. Many parts of the country are still enjoying clear, warm days-but the months of rain and snow and cold aren’t far off. The winter season brings with it some of the greatest fire hazards-hazards which are responsible for thousands of deaths and the destruction of millions of dollars worth of property each year. Yet those hazards can be easily corrected. Winter hazard number one is your heating plant. Before long, it will be subjected to maximum load. Any defect, any weakness, may result in a disastrous fire. That is true of furnaces, stoves, fireplaces and everything which has to do with creating and convey ing heat. Don’t be your own inspector—that is not an amateur’s job. Call in a qualified repairman. It won’t cost much—and it may save a life/ a home, or a factory. Another hazard is exposed electric wiring. Cords fray, and fixtures get out of whack. Short days involve heavy use of light. Here again, a qualified expert should make all repairs. And keep a stock of fuses on hand—the more or less common act of using a penny to replace a burned did not add to their comfort to disaster. Now is the time to get ready for winter~not when it is here and you must use maximum heat and light. Do it today.-----------O----------Australia’s first newsprint mill came into production in January, the Commonwealth heretofore importing its entire supply of about 150,000 long tons annually. INSURANCE is a shield with which to meet the blow you can't see coming.
