HORSE SENSE NHE FINN, sire of the great race horse * Zeb, recently died on a blue grass farm in Kentucky. Ten or 11 years ago The Finn made a great reputation for himself and Andy Schuttinger, the jockey who usually rode And the secret of The Finn's success was not alone speed and stamina, but the ease with which he could be “placed” in a big field of horses. “Placing” means horse sense enough to drop behind the pacemaker, spurt ahead or come from behind in the stretch at the command of the jockey. Many a horse hasn't got it Tt was that horse sense, that enabled _ The Finn to win many a race from horses “of dazzling speed. * There’s a lesson for human beings: in the success of The Finn.

There are thousands of people who are extremely polite and courteous as long as they are not driving a car. But as soon as they start driving they try to crowd other people off the road, to cut corners on pedestrians, to force other cars to stop they can turn a corner and do countless other things far more discourteous flan they would ever think of doing in their office or their home.

Yet the floor you see in this picture is a foot-easy, energy-saving, easy-to-walk-on floor. | How was the transformation made? Easily and economically. First a lin- ing of builders’ deadening felt was pasted over thé cement underfloor (cement in an office should always be considered as an underfloor), Then a springy floor of Armstrong's Lino- leum was cemented in place, its seams and edges tightly sealed. The job was done quickly, with scarcely any interruption to business, The finished floor was in use the same day it was laid.
