A man when he's happy will celebrate, A dog will go chasing a cat, A rooster will crow and a whale will blow. But a woman will buy a hat.

A man in his sorow will turn to drink, A tire when it's punctured, goes fat, A preacher will pray and a horse will neigh, But a woman will buy a hat.

A man when he's idle finds mischief to do. A child turns into a brat, An owl's a galoot who don't give a hoot, But a woman exchanges the hat.

Spinoza told about a peasant who had persuaded himself that beyond his fields there were no others. and when he lost a cow and was compelled to go search for her, he was astonished at the great number of fields that lay beyond his own acres. This, said Spinoza, must also be the case of many theorists who have persuaded themselves that beyond this field or this little globe of earth, there lie no other worlds, simply because they have not seen them.

It was the famous or"l"n"l, rrlr,.y Ward Beecher, who said: "A man's house should be on the hilltop of cheerfulness and serenity, so high that no shadows rest upon it, and where the morning comes so early and the evening tarries so late that the day has twice as many golden hours as those of other men. He is to be pitied whose house is in some valley of grief between the hills, with the longest night and the shortest day."

You are likely to find thal .nJ *", you are treated in your day's work depends on the state of mind you bring into it. If you enter a circle you take to be superior to you, you are likely to be snubbed. If you act as one inferior, you will be treated as such. If you are self-confident, you will awaken confidence. If you cringe, others may want to step on you. If you are cheerful, cheer will come to you from others.

President Grover Cleveland.once made a speech at the University of Virginia, and was introduced by the witty and famous Fitzhugh Lee, who said: rf, perchance, your opirioJ of*poetry is not overly high, hark to the words on that subject once uttered by William Hazlettt

"Mr. President, we are honored in welcoming you to Virginia today, both as a loyal Democrat, and as president of the United States. 'Tis a long time since we have had a President with us. But time was, Mr. president, when all we had to do was go on this portico and holler ,Mister President,' and the woods would be full of them."

"Poetry is the universal language which the heart holds with nature and itself. He who has a contempt for poetry cannot have much respect for himself or for anything else. It is not a mere frivolous accomplishment; it has been the study and delight of mankind in all ages. Nor is it found only in books. Wherever there is a sense of beauty, or power, or harmony, as in a wave of the sea, or in the growth of a fower, there is poetry in its birth. It is the stuff of which our life is made. The rest is mere oblivion, for all that is worth remembering in life is the poetry of it."

Thomas Nelson P"g" *1""*" lreat admirer of factories and the factory spirit. He wrote:

"A great factory, with the machinery all working and revolving with absolute and rhythmic regularity, and with the men all driven by one impulse and working in unison, is one of the most inspiring examples of directed force that the world knows. I have rarely seen the face of a mechanic in the act of creation which was not fine, never one that was not earnest and impressive."

Of all the multitua" oi OJ"trl, that have been written about George Washington, few are more eloquent or convincing than those written-by George W-illiam Curtis: not only to monetary cost, G. D. Tadlock of the Lumbermen's Mutual Casualty Compd.ny told members of the group, but accidents must alio be measured against the discomfort of the injured men. An effective safety program' he noted, is one of the simplest ways to reduce operating costs through reduced insurance premiums. Such- a program requires no _capital exPenditure. and yields high returns in increased employee satistactlon.

"Without a beacon, without a ehart, but with unwavering eye and steady hand, he guided his country safe through darkness and through storm. He held his steadfast way like the sun across the firmament, giving life and health and strength to the new nation; and, upon a searching survey of his administration, there is no great act which his country would annul; no word spoken, no line written, no deed done by him which justice would reverse, or wisdom deplore."

The Association-developed slide program of correct handling methods, which is ivailable tb members' was shown to tfre class'and Mr. Tadlock stressed that safety must be practiced at all levels-management through yard employes, but that the success of such a program ls largely ln ihe-hands of supervisory personnel, for it is their responsibility to instill enthusiam for the program in the mind of subordinate personnel.

Mechanical-handling equipment is to the retail lumber dealer what the assembly line is to the automobile industry, Jack Wright of the Hyster Company told the gfoup, and witt yield iorresponding benefits in the form of reduced handling- costs. Mechanical equipment, he noted, complements J well-planned yard, foi the two are interdep-endent and go far toward permitting increased volume in a limited area-while giving the yard's customers better service.

Although-layout varies greatly from.yard to-yard,. in many cais cireful analysis will make it possible to improvi handling and storage methods with little, if any, cost for alterations or equipment.

Diagonal stacking, he comme.tted, can save yards as much is 25/o in space, but more importantly it permits the speed of yard operations to be materially impro.ved. -

Mr. Wright itated that many dealers, particularly. in California, have availed themselves of the savings which
