NATURAL CONCLUSION
In the home of a prominent busi
ness man a chandelier fell in the
night, making a terrific crash. In
the morning the man said to his
wife:
"What did you think, my dear,
when you heard the chandelier fall
in the dead silences of the night.”
“I thought, my darling,” replied
the wife, ‘ that you had been detained
on business again, and were getting
up stairs as quietly as you could."

AN 8,000 TON BLOW
The largest steam forging hammer
ever built was installed recently in
an ordnance plant near Washington.
It was shipped in sections from a
Pennsylvania mill, 14 cars being re
quired for that purpose. The ham
mer was built for use with steam
pressure up to 150 pounds per square
inch, and when driven by that pres
sure will deliver a blow of 8,000 tons. |
The hammer alone weighs 350 tons,
and with its attendant equipment the
total weight is 8,000 tons.
Never before has such concentrat
ed energy been compressed into one
machine. The power of the hammer
is so enormous that it can scarcely
be expressed by mere figures.
A BOY’S CHRISTMAS WISH
(By James J. Montague)
Of course there’s heaps and heap
things
1 want a turr’ble lot,
But Santa Claus ’most always brtnp
The very best he’s got.
It isn’t nice for little boys
To nag him, anyhow,
With letters asking him for toys,
When he’s so busy now.
But I don’t care for toys no more.
An’ Gee! I hope he’ll read
My letter to him askin’ for
Ezzackly what I need.
I’ll never want another thing
In all the world, if he t
Will only come this year an onus
My muvver back to me.
