Time, You Old Gypsy Mon

Time, you old gypsy man, Will you not stay, Put up your caravan Just for one day?

All the gings I'll give you, Will you be my guest, Bells for your jennet, Of silver the best; Goldsmiths shall beat you

A great golden ring, Peacocks shall bow to you, Little boys sing. O, and sweet girls will Festoon you with MayTirye, you old gypsy mant Why hasten away?

-Ralph.Hodgson

Ghonged rhe Slogon

A certain Yankee householder laid in his winter's coal supplR and when the bill came he noticed that it bore the slogan printed across the top: "It's a black business, but we treat you white."

The buyer wept a bit when he noticed the price of the coal, but he bravely wrote out the check to pay for it. Then he added a little note at the bottom that read: "May I offer a suggestion? I think you should change your slogan to read-'It's a dirty business, but we clean you good."'

Tition

Titian by a few strokes of the brush knew how to make the general image and character of whatever object he attempted. His great care was to preserve the masses of light and of shade, to give by opposition the idea of that solidarity wh'ich is inseparable from natural objects. , He was the greatest of the Venetians and deserves to rank with Raphael and Michelangelo.-Sir Joshua Reynolds.

The Rog Doll

Her folks were poor when she was small, A dolly made of rags was all

Ifer mother could afford to buy, In vain for Princess dolls she'd sigh. When fortune smiled her mother bought The kind of dolls she'd always sought, Expensive dolls with silken curls; She was the happiest of girls. ft's funny how the years can fly, Now, side by side her dollies lie. But when she dreams of childhood's charms, The rag doll nestles in her arms.

How fhey Got to Texqs

There is an old story in Texas about how the state was populated back in the early days when the people of the East were turning their faces and their feet Westward.

The story is that when these Eastern folk reached a certain major river crossing on the Mississippi, they found a road with many forks, and a number of signs pointing into these various roads. One said t'To Kansas," another "To Oklahoma," another "To Arkansas," and so on. There w€re many of them. And one said "To Texas." And, says the story, the folks that could read all went to Texas.

Wir

Wit is a happy and striking way of expressing a thought.

It is not often, though it be lively and mantling, that it carries a great body with it.

Wit, therefore, is fitter for diversion than business, being more grateful to fancy than judgment.

Less judgment than wit, is more sail than bal.last.

Yet it must be confessed that wit gives an edge to sense, and recommends it extremely.

Where judgment has wit to express it, there is the best orator.

-Wm.

Penn Home

A little place of inglenooks and books;

A place where still and cool a quiet pool

Of candlelight upon the table seeps;

A spot that keeps unbroken, ready for our need, Peace-that is home, indeed;

Enter-tired, restless qns-and dream, and read.

Discouroging

He had left his old home town ten years back, and today he was returning for the first time after making a great rbusiness success in his new home. Despite his hopes and 'expectations, there \Mas no old friend to greet him at the station. No one.

Discouraged, he sought out the station master, a friend since boyhood. To him, at least, he would be welcome, and he was about to extend a hearty greeting, when the other spoke first:

He said: "ffello, George. Going away?"

The Bigor

Bigotry has no head and cannot think, no heart and cannot feel. When she moves, it is in wrath; when she pauses, it is amid ruin. Her prayers are curses, her god is a demon, her communion is death, her vengeance is eternity, her decalogue written in the blood of her victims, and if she stops for a moment in her infernal fligh,t it is upon a kindred rock to wet her vulture fang for,a more sanguinary desolation'

October Housing Stqrts - 93,OOO

The preliminary estimate of 93,000 new nonfarm dwelling units started in October was 1'2,800 units less than October last year. The total of starts for the first 10 months of 1956 was 972,4A0 units. This is 191,100 less than the corresponding period for 1955 and, on a seasonally adjusted basis, is at the rate of 1,050,000 units annually, reported the National Retail Lumber Dealers Association.

The housing starts in October remained at the September level of 93,0@, although a decline is usual at this time of year, the U. S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics announced. The total was 1,2/o less than October Iast year and was well below the level for most Octobers since 1949.

During the first 10 months of 1956, 972,000 units were placed under construction, compared with more than a million units started in the same period of. 1954 and 1955. A slight rise in private starts to 90,800 units in October was offset by a decrease in public housing to 2,200 units. The October firmness reflected reversal of a 4-months downtrend in housing started in metropolitan areas. Adjusted for seasonal variation, the annual rate of private starts rvas 1,050,000 units in October-up 5/o over September. For the first 10 months of 1956, the annual rate averaged 1,104,000 units.

Preliminary.reports of building permits issued indicate that all regions of the country shared the October improvement. The Western Region showed a particularly good gain after a sharp drop in Septemb,er.
