It seems that the machinery for producing such a home has been perfected and is already on the roads pouring home, sweet homes for people who want- to get a par lor, bedroom and bath while they're hot. ? The apparatus consists of a giant house-form or mould which Is cart ed to a homesite. Then the cement mixer draws up and pours. After 24 hours a hydraulic derrick ar rives, lifts off the form and . . . presto! . . . Thar she stands, the home complete if not beautiful I ? All you have to do Is chisel off the rough edges! ? A man named LeTourneau has in vented the house pourer and has been pouring 'em in Longview, Texas, and Vicksburg, Miss. Huge crowds gathered in each place to watch a machine lay a house just as a hen lays an egg. ? All that remains to be done is to make the machine cackle at the end of the performance. ? How simple I You buy a lot, phone the Day-A-Bungalow office and say you would like a four-room home right away. The man asks If you can wait a couple of hours. You say it's a rush order. Presently the apparatus trundles up and a man hops out with the query: "Where would you like this residence poured?" ? ? ? Fulton Makes Good Fulton, Mo., site of Westminster college to which former Prime Min ister Winston Churchill made a his toric Journey, is a town of 8,000 per sons. It has a police force of only seven men. The college is one of the smallest in the world. But it is on the map now and howl ? Up to now it had been known only as a place once visited by Jeff Davis and as a town where Bill Co rum once dug sweet potatoes, danced the two-step and played bas ketball. But today out there they ask "Yale? Harvard? Princeton? Where are they?" ? * ? WITH THE WANT ADS "Will swap my collection of swords, bayonets, daggers, roller skates, opium pipes for small elec tric organ, music box, Ac. (N. Y.) F907."?Yankee Magazine. ? Careful, mister I Your presump tion that the labor-management cri sis is over may be premature. ? ? ? "I have an old magic book (about 1895), which exposed all tricks. It is a professional magician's book. Will swap for four new pair of ny lons size 10. (N, Y. J909." ? Yan kee Magazine. ? Don't be silly! You'll need every thing any magician has got if you are determined to get nylons. ? ? ? A nation-wide phone strike was averted and it's pretty much of a surprise to the public, which has become accustomed to having noth ing settled. ? ? ? Ima Dodo, by the way, thinks those "long lines" operators are the tall, stately ones. ? ? ? Caa it be possible that Heary Kaiser sold all that stock without knowing where he was to get the steel to make ears? ? ? ? CAN YOU REMEMBER A way back whan there mere more regie lor newt pepen around than there were colummitltf a a a Hirohlto who never mixed with his subjects now walks around town and visits shops and stores. A hale fellow well blitzed. a a a "President Asks Americans to Eat Less."?Headline. Judging from the portions being served in most restaurants, it won't be any too difficult. ? ? ? Chester Bowles, the red-hot ad vocate of ceilings, is a Yale man and it is possible his yen to keep things down is a result of all those Harvard football scores. * * * Japan is so full of sweetness and light these days and behaving with such rare gentility that it makes most people mighty suspicious. It would make a lot of folks feel bet ter if somewhere a Japanese leader would make a face and let out a fierce, belligerent yell. ? ? ? Thorn atomic mmgy ipica im Canada mora mm a "fmom" trip, mam COME earnest and able compiler of facta and figures has estimated there are over 30 million citizens, young and old, male and female, ?hn are Hi recti T or indirectly interested in baseball. I believe these figures are on the short side. We have 22 million high school kids for a starter, and most of these follow base ball, in one way or another. The range is from 8 to 80 years, and this in r?1iirips thnsp whn play at the game, see the games, follow the box scores and the stand ings in the daily newspapers or hear games over the radio. My estimate would be 40 million, including the fanatics and the only mildly inter ested. This is only a guess. But that many through newspaper and radio must follow a world series. Many or most of the regulars have their favorite ball players. They may dig back into the past, or they may pick a few from the modern library. The leading favor ite in the game's long history has been Babe Ruth. Proof here is simple. Babe has gone into such cities as Philadelphia and Boston when they were trailing and drawing less than thousand at home games. But when the Babe came to town they had to call po lice reserves to the scene. Next to Roth we'd have Ty Cobb and after Ty Cobb there would be Bonus Wagner. Among those of more recent date, there are four who belong among tbe rafters of the roof ?Pepper Martin, Dixzy Dean, Carl Hubbell and Bob Feller. And you can't leave out Bank Greenberg. Pepper Martin, one of the great est hustlers baseball ever knew, was everybody's favorite, wherever he played. You got the idea that he was willing and ready to break a neck or a leg to get where he was headed for, and you were usually right. Grutlud Rice The 1946 Favorites Who will carry most of the pub lic favor from city to city through 1946? In Boston the leading candi dates at this spot are Ted Williams and Dave Ferriss. Among the Yan kees you will find Bill Dickey, Joe DLMaggio and Joe Gordon?with Phil Rizzuto close up. Stimweiss will be another. Terry Moore and Marty Marion will lead the Cardinals, who have several other candidates. Hank Green berg and A1 New houser will head the cast for the Tiger zoo. For the Giants you'll find Mel Ott and Johnny Mize in front when the season opens. What about the Dodgers? In this dizzy land of Bumdom they change with startling rapidity from day to day. Dixie Walker has been the civ ic nomination, or the peepul's choice, for some years. Whether Dixie will retain the affections of the nation's most turbulent and tempestuous baseball crowds remains to be seen. If anything happens to Dixie, or if it happens to be untrue what they say about Dixie, an early nomination is Pee wee Reese. The Cleveland situation Is simple. The Indian's contribution to the fa vorite class will be one Robert Fel ler who win tare out the mnltitndes in fancy numbers at eaeh start. What about the Cubs? Andy Pafko will be one of them and so will Phil Cavarretta and Hank Borowy. The able veteran Stan Hack will also get some votes. At times it is hard to tell just what qualities are needed to make some ball player the crowd's fa vorite. Hustle is always one of the main points. The populace likes to see the athlete giving all he has. Home-run hitters always have a strong call. So do strike-out pitch ers. Good people who are there in the clutch or pinch also harvest their share of fanville's affection. The All-Time Best Who have been my ten favorite ball players? It doesn't matter much, but here they go ? Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson, Tris Speaker, Hans Wagner, Dizzy Dean, Pepper Martin, Rube Waddell, Christy Mathewson, Pete Alexan der. Plus Walter Johnson. Old Bar ney's pitching motion and the ball you couldn't follow were still some thing to look at Carl Hubbell also belongs in this group. So does BUI Dickey. Ten isn't enough. As an artist Hal Chase has no equal. Just what favorite crop the new season will give us is in the so called laps of the gods. There ii time enough later on to take this up. ? ? ? Bow and Arrow Records Every record Improves in sport and archery has made a big advance since the days of the Sioux and the Apaches, the Iroquois and the Mohicans. Their range wai rarely beyond 200 yards. But in 1M1 Curtis Hill of Dayton, Ohio, set ? new mark a <14 yards, f inches? a new record tor what is knows as "tree flight shooting." Hill's reo ord far the regular flight' shooting according to Frank Meake's book, is SIT yards, ons loot Place a rubber tip such as used on a crutch on the end of your broom handle and it will not slip when stood broom end up. ???
