Wise Transposition

ft was a case in domestic relations court, and Mrs. Jones had done most of the talking and made all the noise. IIer sad-looking and subdued husband sat with head low, and had little to say. Leveling an inexorable finger at poor Mr. Jones his battling spouse shouted:

"That unmitigated louse - - - " but had gone no farther when the judge, with a sardonic gleam in his eye, sharply interrupted and stopped her.

Announces His Retirement

Herbert Malarkey, formerly president of M and M Wood Working Company, Portland, Ore., has announced his retirement from active management. Thomas B. Malarkey, former vice president and secretary, was elected executive vice president to assume management of the corporation.

Former President Malarkey, rvho served 28 continuous years with M and M, will continue to serve as a member of the board of directors.

"Madam," he said, "have you ever been in court before?"

"f have notr" she snapped back.

"Then, Madam," continued the judge, "permit me to suggest that in view of this situation as I see it, you refer to the defendant, your husband, throughout the remainder of this hearing, not as 'that unmitigated louse,' but rather as 'that unlitigated mouse."'

Among the claims made for Roc-Wood are the following: It is very resilient, easy to walk upon for the reason that it is 90 per centl,vood fibers.

It is skid-proof even when damp or entirely covered with water. It is termite and rat-proof, also acid and flame resistant.

Basically it is made of the hardest kind of hardwood fibers, chemically treated and bonded together with a practically indestructible plastic binder. It hardens by chemical action, not by evaporatlon.
