The Plumber'g Dilemma

A plumber wrotc to the National Bureau of Standarde and eaid that he had found that hydrochloric acid opcns plugged pipes quickly, and wanted to know whether it was a wise thing to use for that purpose. A scientist at the Bureau replied as follows:

"The uncertain reactive ProceEses of hydrochloric acid place pipe in jeopardy when alkalinity is involved. The efficacy of this solution is indisputable, but the corrosive residue is incompatible with metallic performance."

, The plumber wrote back, thanking the Bureau for telling him that his method was all right. The scientist was disturbed by the misunderstanding, and showed the correspondence to the boss-another scientist-who immediately wrote the plumber:

"Hydrochloric acid generates a toxic and noxious residue which will produce submuriate invalidating reactions' Consequently, some alternative procedure is preferable"'

Again the plumber wrote back that he agreed with the Bureau that hydrochloric acid works just fine' Greatly disturbed, the two scientists took their problem to their top boss. The next day the plumber received this telegram:..DON'T USE HYDROCHLORIC ACID. IT EATS HELL OUT OF THE PIPES.''

-(From "Credit World")

Prepcrredness

"In youth acquire that which you require for the deprivations of old age; and if you are mindful that old age has wisdom for its food, you will so exert yourself in your youth that your old age will not lack sustenance. As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings a happy death."-Da Vinci'

John On Fellowship

"He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

"But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

"That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you that ye may also have fellowship with us'"

My Credo

I know that happiness is to be found only in surrendering in obedience to Goodness. I am quite willing to accept as a fact that I show wisdom when I learn as much as I can of the fundamental laws of the universe and work in harmony with them. I must be a giver, and I must also be a receiver. For me to explain my Credo in words, would mean little. I know that at the last I must be judged, not alone by what I write, but by every exPression in my daily lifc. What I do on the golf course and in the office and at a meeting of the Advertising Club is of just as great importance a8 what I do in church. And what I do on Monday is of just aB great importance ae what I do on Sunday-and no more.-Thomas Dreier.

The Mcn Who Delivers

There's a man in the world who is never turned down, Wherever he chances to straY'

He gets the glad hand in the populous town, Or out where the farmers make haY. He's greeted with pleasure on deserts of sand, And deep in the aisles of the woods, Wherever he goes there's a welcoming handHe's the man who delivers the goods.

The failures of life sit around and complain, The gods haven't treated them white; They've lost their umbrellas whenever there's rain, And they haven't their lanterns at night. Men tire of failures who fill with their sighs The air of their own neighborhoods, But the man who is greeted with love-lighted eyes, Is the man who delivers the goods.

One fellow is lazy and watches the clock, And waits for the whistle to blow; And one has a hammer with which he will knock, And one has a storY of woe. One has a grouch on, a temper that's bad, Another's a creature of moods; Then here's to the joyous and rollicking ladThe man who delivers the goods.

In One Day

"The ewe that strayed from the fold lived many years in one day, and died at a great age-at sunset'-Thornton Wilder.

A Vice President ProbcblY

A family moved from the big city to the suburbs and decided to get a watch dog to guard their premises at night. So they went to a near-by kennels and bought the biggest dog they found for sale.

Shortly afterwards their place was entered and robbed while the big dog slept. So they went to the dog dealer and told him about it.

"Well, what you need now," said the dog man, "is a little dog to wake up the big dog."
