Much Smoke, Little Fire
The community dinner was over
at last and the patient guests who
had listened to the long address
of the principal speaker breathed
a deep sigh of relief.
“The speaker was all right,” the
toastmaster’s wife whispered,
“but it seems to me that he didn't
put enough fire into his speech.”
“I feel the opposite way,” an-
swered the toastmaster. “In my
opinion he didn’t put enough of his

Best Guides

estimate the value of a
product by looking at it; but
even experts are sometimes
fooled by imperfections.
A more certain method
for judging the value of any
