But their prayers were not to be fulfilled. At their first meeting she was shy, and to please her Philip told her of his escapade, Her lace lit up and she lost the look of strain. They were married and that one year was the hap- piest in Philip's life, Then the little bride died giving birth to her son Don Carlos and her hus- band was broken-hearted. For four years Philip grieved, Then one day his father sent for him., "My son, you must marry again, Your son is too delicate, mentally and physical- ly, and Spain must have another heir, England's new queen, Mary Tudor, is a Catholic and of Spanish blood on her mother's tide. She is unmarried and we need Englands' help. With her Spain will become more power- ful than ever." Philip felt despair in his heart. Mary Tudor was 37 years old and known as the Old Maid of Europe. His thoughts showed in his face as his father watched. knw Philip, and that duty would win. Quietly Philip, ac- quiesced. He would go to Eng- land and marry Mary Tudor. He set sail accompanied by Ruy Gomez. Queen Mary await- ed at Winchester. Tense and Impatient, she strode up and down on the day of his arrival, but it was midnight before the doors were flung open to admit the prince. Her heart beat fast as he came towards her, She saw that he was handsome, fair and not very tall, and that his clothes were elegant, Bowing low he kissed her hand, It was love at first sight for Mary who had known so little affection in her life. As for Philip, he saw her as a sandy- haired, sallow - faced woman looking older than her 37 years, She spoke with the gruff voice of a man as she welcomed him. Philip, trained in the rigid eti- quette of the Spanish Court, gave no inkling of his feelings.

She could deny him nothing except the one thing he wanted: to be made King of England, Mary had been. having trouble with her half-sister Elizabeth and had moved her room from the Tower of London and placed her under close guard at Wood- stock. She sought Philip's ad- vice and,, he, being curious to see the wilful Elizabeth, sug- gested that Mary send for her and question her as to her loyal- ty to the Crown, He, Philip, would hide behind a screen and watch, The interview took place and Elizabeth protested her inno- cence and assured Mary of her devotion, As Mary hesitated, Philip stepped from behind the screen, Elizabeth, taken aback, rernemberd to curtsy deeply and gazed up at him appealingly. She made a lovely picture with her red hair and bright zreen eyes, Philip felt his heart beat faster as, raising her up, be smiled, saying, "Welcome back to Court, my dear sister." Something told Elizabeth that he had probably saved her life. Mary was pregnant and Eng- land rejoiced, Philip treated her courteously but the Court notic- ed his eyes dwelt on Elizabeth. They made a striking couple as they danced together at Court balls. Mary soon became bitter- ly jealous. The time for her delivery came and went. Then the doctors broke the news, There was no baby, Her seem- ing pregnancy was a mistake. Mary was broken-hearted and Philip furious. A letter 'from his father called him back to Spain. The Emperor was old and tired. He wished to pass on his responsibilities to his son and retire to a monastery. So Philip became King of Spain and still in need of an heir. He also needed English troops to fight for him, so he journeyed reluctantly back to England, His visit was short, and, except for getting the troops, unsuccessful. He left England and never saw Mary again. Her life drew to a close. Her reign had produced tragedy: Calais was lost, men were burnt at the stake, and there was no heir, Philip sent her word asking her to name Elizabeth as heir. Philip was free once more and so was England's new Queen Elizabeth I. After a decent in- terval, Philip requested her hand in marriage and was re- fused. His desire for her turn- ed to hatred and he became her implacable enemy. Don Carlos, Philip's son, was unbalanced, but a marriage was arranged for him with the 14- year-old French Princess Eliza- beth de Valois, The moody boy had set his heart on the match, and when Philip changed hie mind and decided to marry the girl himself, the boy angrily threatened to kill his father. The timid Elizabeth de Valois never lost her fear of her mighty husband, although she loved him. Philip had grown hard with the years. The Spanish Inquisition w a s persecuting heretics by the thousands and Philip insisted that his little bride attend the public burnings. She gave birth to daughters, and when she knew there could be no more children, she fell ill and died, Some said she was poisoned with the King's con- sent. Certainly Don Carlos, whom she had befriended, met his death in a similar mysterious way. Once more a widower, Philip was filled with a burning desire for a son, As quickly as could be arranged, he married Anne of Austria. She gave him the son he craved and died, leaving him to years of torturing illness, The knowledge that the be- witching Elizabeth had defeat- ed his Armada and was now far more powerful than he did not make his end easier! Northern Bird Visits Liner A stormy petrel which alighted on the deck of the Cunard liner Canine_ in mid-Atlantic recently was cared for by one of the ship's company and carried to Southampton,. Southampton's balmy air, how- ever, was ill-suited to the little ocean flyer, whose body was designed to weather the gusts of the Atlantic and the icy winds' of Greenland, and it died, The bright-eyed little bird is known to seamen as Mettler Carey's chicken. Legend has it that the birds tarried this name through their reputation as the messengers of stormy weather. Used in the plural — Mother Carey's chickens — their pre.. sence round a ship is said to portend snow, Another stores, contends that it is unlucky to kill one for each stormy petrel carriesthe soul of a dead mati- Herding Herring With Air Bubbles The cold, waters of the Nerth Atlantic teem with millions of silvery herring. In 1956 calla, dian fishermen, who shared the catch with a ntunher of other nations, netted nearly 2 million pounds and just over 2 million dollars from herring alone, Fishermen attempt to net her- ring in large schools close to the shore; however, their task would be considerably simplified If schools could be driven to spots, where they would be easy to catch, The U.S, Bureau of Commer- cial Fisheries is conducting, a„ series of experiments at Booth- , bay Harbour, Maine, to deter- mine whether or not herring can be driven by a moving curtain of air bubbles. First tests were couducted to determine whether or not her- ring would pass through a cur- tain of air bubbles, After build- ing and testing the necessary equipment, experimenters tried out their, gear on actual schools of herring at Pleasant Island, near Tenants Harbour, Maine. The gear consisted of an indus- trial air compressor, 500 feet of flexible polythene pipe (1,050" inside diameter, 1.300" outside diameter), and a power driven hose reel with air fittings to per- mit the setting out and hauling in of the plastic pipe while air was being pumped. Holes of 1/32" diameter were drilled at AD-MIRABLE IDEA — Admen in need of a gimmick pulled a switch on sandwich-board ad- vertising and put some lovely legs under a walking sybway advertisement. Fellow on the right just might ride past his stop. one-foot intervals in, 500 feet of the polythene pipe, which was wrapped in lead wire to sink that section eof the pipe to the bottom. When the equipment was as- sembled and in place, the com- pressor—which could deliver 60 cubic feet of air a minute at a maximum pressure of 75 pounds per square inch—discharged air bubbles along the 500 feet of drilled pipe at depths of as much as 100 feet, Thus, when the gear was in operation, a continuous curtain of small air bubbles, 500 feet in length, would rise from the pipe to the surface. This experiment demonstrated that herring would strongly re- sist passing through the air cur- tain, Schools stopped. a share dise tance from the wall of bubbles, flattened out against it, and moved along the curtain as they would against a length of seine. Later tests were made to see if schools of herring could be driven before an advancing air curtain as well as stopped or guided by a stationary curtain. The experiments were carried out on impounded herring, be- cause not enough schools of "wild" herring could be found at the time Of the trials, In "driving tests", the length of polythene perforated pipe was 700 feet instead of 500 feet, and a larger compressor — 1311 cubic feet a minute at 75 pounds per square inch — was used. The polythene pipe, discharg- ing air, was laid near the seine where the herring were concen- trated, then doubled back to the shore in a U shape. The fish headed for the curtain, but upon reaching it would not pass through the wall of bubbles. The U.S. experimenters are " continuing the tests in actual commercial fishing, using poly- theme pipe. The full value of the air curtain idea -tor .commercial fisheririeri Cannot be detertained Until further studies have been Made and certain mechanical Problems overcome. But it Seems tettain that in time a reVolittion- , arY new fishing tehtilqUe will be deVeltiped for this important industry.

NOW IT'S OFFICIAL Greatly daring, the State La- bour Board sitting at Hamm, West Germany, after deciding the merits of a case before them, officially decreed that "Men are not capable to deal with house- .. hold work." Why .11;o thapiin, Pay His Taxes? --• What made the whole thin such a .baffling mystery were two .main traits in the character' of Charlie Chaplin: • I'or years, -the comedian has, been notorious as .a man who never parted happily from, a dol,, lar, And he detests the V.,S, After he. left this country in 1Q4 tsar let go a blast of blasphemy; "I wouldn't go back there if Jesus . Christ was PresitlenV He then proceeded to make the .anti- ' American. film, `lA Xing in New York.". Why then, did Chaplin ante up $05,004 to settle an Internal Revenue claim for $700,000 in beck taxes? Chaplin, now 69, has been liv- ing in Switzerland for six yearn with his • present wife, Oona O'Neill, daughter of the 1 a t e pleywright Eugene O'Neill, and their six children. He has abso- lutely no assets in this country. The Internal Revenue had long since privately given up hope of ever collecting its claim, Yet, last month, it was an- nounced that Chaplin's •-lawyers had gone to the tax agents and settled the claim. Rudy P, Herzog, chief counsel of the Internal Revenue Service thought he might' have the an, swer. "Chaplin might have been considering the fact that his wife and children might have diffi- culties in returning to this court• try if the tax case had not beer settled," Herzog guessed. What this meant in cold cast was that, if Oona or any of her children ever returned to thi) country with money inheritee from Chaplin, the governmen. could attach it to pay the taxes It was the only explanation tha seemed to make sense .for a mai like Chaplin.

ISSUE 5 — 1959 If you prepare sandwiches the morning you pack the lunches, have fillings at room tempera- ture — and your task will be much easier if you have bought ready-sliced bread. Keep a vari- ety of breads on hand — white, rye, whole wheat and pumper- nickel (it's easier to spread and keeps its shape better if it's 24 hours old). * The American Institute of Baking offers further lunch- preparation advice. (a) Have a variety of sand- wich fillings ready, at all times, but prepare them in, advance-- the night before, perhaps, (b) On the morning you're tilling your lunch boxes, start, by slicing your vegetables (to- matoes, cucumbers, carrots) at one time and arrange them side- by-side on your work table. (c) Line up your slices of bread, in pairs, on your cleared work table. (d) Use soft butter and spread all slices of bread in one opera- tion. (e) Spread like fillings on alternate rows of bread in one operation, allowing about 1/3 cup filling per sandwich. Make all of one type of sandwich at the same time, then proceed to the next filling. (f) Arrange sliced vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots), if used, and top with the second slice of bread all in one opera- tion. (g) Stack two or three sand- wiches and cut them all at once with a sharp bread knife. Also all -at one time, tear enough waxed paper in suitable size for wrapping each sandwich indi- vidually. (h) Wrap up lettuce or other salad greens separately so they will be crisp when eaten, also,, the mayonnaise in a paper cup so the luncher can add both Philip 'H. of Spain married lour times.
