He: “I see dark spots in front of my eyes.” She: “Good, let’s park in one of them.” And then, there was the little moron who took his cap off his knee, to lee if there wa» any beer Jn tJ^e Joint, Hobbies Hobbies originated in England of the Middle Ages. It was then pop ular to produce funny antics with a dummy horse fitted around the middle of a man’s body. The horse was called a hobyn. Thus, the word hobby originated. To hoard money, or to sweat for a meager existence is boresome. A hobby breaks the nervous pressure of either heavy responsibilities or monotonous routine. Your nerves will love you if you have a hobby. There are two kinds of hobbies— mental and physical. Mental hob bies are travel, stamp coIlecUng, coin collecting, reading, etc. Phys ical hobbies are art, carpentry, carving, sculpturing, etc. In choosing a hobby, find one suitable to your age, the time avail able, and the pocketbook. If your work is inside, try to choose an outside hobby. Ninety per cent of men prefer mechanical, electrical, or chemical hobbies. These have excellent carry-over value, and de velop skills in other fields. Try a hobby, and if you do not like it try another. The cost can be nothing or thou sands of dollars. King George of England had a $50,000 stamp col lection. A pocket knife and a piece of while pine are the source of some fine work. If you are inter ested in animals, start mounting mice and not elephants. A cheap set of carving tools can produce more interesting and intricate work than expensive machinery. Henry Ford’s life work originat ed in mechanical hobbies. Ditmar of the New York Zoological Gar dens, started by studying snakes. A bred-in-the-bone hobbyist is usually an interesting person. Dog students know length of the nose, circumference of the skull, and location of the eyes de termine origin and purity of breed of dogs. A fish breeder will tell us about the lung fish which bur rows into the bottom of dry lakes and lives until the next rainy sea son, and about the fish which climb trees. Whittling is one of the least ex pensive and most interesting hob bies. It is also practical. Several men have carved guns and keys for use in escaping from jail. Cabinet making is interesting, useful, and a source of consider able self-satisfaction. Embossing of metal or leather is an inexpensive and fascinating hobby, requiring only scraps of leather or flat metal, a hammer, and small metal tools. Bookbinding, glass blowing, and weaving are also popular among hobbyists. Model making is very popular. Many special magazines are pub lished especially for the model maker. Taxidermy is comparative ly simple. The bird or animal is skinned, a clay model covered with paper mache is made, and the skin put over the model. Soap sculpture is a desirable and inex pensive hobby, assuming that some time America will again have a plentiful soap supplv. Get on your hobby horse and ride to a more enjoyable existence. NO, NEVER? “Hello, Gwendolyn. Whatcha doin' Saturday nigWt?” “I have a date.” “And next Saturday night?” “I have a date.” “Hmm—how about the followiig Saturday nipht? “I have a date.” "Oawsh. woman—don’t cha ever taka a batbT” " ‘
