A variation on the sign, THINK, popularized some years ago.

the new placard takes on tantalizing undertones in the techniques of hidden persuasion. 'What could tne word a.i&s mean? Secretaries asked one another over their morning cokes and coffee. Office boys made wise cracks. Supervisors and executives of lunior and senior grades, includ ing vice-presidents, were puzzled by the banner with the strange device, reminiscent of the boy who bore the sign "Excelsior." The mystery continued until one dav. said Mr.

Webb, the public relations director of the firm decided to find out once and for all what the word meant. He asked the boss point blank, "What do the four letters, K-I-S-S mean?" he asked. "Keep It Simple, Stupid," re plied the boss.

Mr.

Lewis's particular forte is not persimmon pudding, but per simmon beer. They used to make it when it was a boy in Kinston," he said. The way to make persimmon beer, he said, is to take a molasses barrel put in pine straw, corn meal, sweet potato peelings, and persimmons. Don forget the persimmons, ne cautioned. "You put a layer of persimmons, then straw, then potato peelings.

then more persimmons, then corn meal and keep on doing tnat unui the barrel is almost filled. Then pour in water and let it set for a few days.
