How To Use A HammerYears ago, Mr. Ubell was apprenticed to a master cabinetmakerwhere he performed his tasks with great dexterity. The masterwas displeased with only one thing in his apprentice: he observedhow young Mr. Ubell, when working with a hammer, did not holdthe tool at the end of its handle, in the proper fashion. Time andtime again the master would remind: "Hold the handle!" But theapprentice, otherwise agile and talented for the trade, refused tolearn. One day, in a fit of rage at the inability of his apprentice tocomprehend that one simple rule, the master grabbed the toolfrom Mr. Ubellís hands, brought it to a bench, and cut off all butthree inches of the handle. "Now," he said, returning it to theflabbergasted youth, "hereís your hammer. Use it!"
We relate this incident because many will feel insulted by thetitle of this recipe. Most people, in truth, can hammer a nail witha degree of efficiency. But before long, they grow weary. Thisrecipe will illustrate a method whereby even the beginner canhammer for an hour and not be overcome with exhaustion.
