LOUIS CVNNIN(1EL bl
"Gir rtporters are the batik,,"
expert in the news -room of the
growled l larri>ttau, the ...rime
Comet 'Phe pulsing in'r„es that
hhook the building getlieg otic the
last edition brought the toilers
under the eye -,hada` a pleasurable
sense of rest niter hard work well
done. 1l was the acceptable time
for airing- theories and grieeaeces.
"As I was saying,” continued
I!arriumn, "woolen in journalicns
and men in dressmaking are one
.and the canto. Now if Brickley,
ordinarily a (calf -intelligent city
editor,- had shown any sense, we
wouldn't be haling this Alicia Del-
ano around, making this newsroom
a place where you can't swear and
"Crab!" interrupted Dale Ilarms-
worth, a creel] young reporter. Dale
had known 1-Iarrilnan long enough
to be in prop"r awe of the great
man, -
But Dale had known Alicia Delano
long enough to be in love with her.
Further discussion of Alicia was
postponed by the turbulent entry of
the city editor, Brickley. His de-
risive eye swept the crowd. "Well,
my merry morons," he jeered, "Ex-
tend your rnbw•ebbdtl ears to this:
The Prince Bartholdi, a wealthy
Roman, has arrived in this city of
sin. He is seeking his .daughter, a
runaway princess. Seems the lady
objected to her father's idea of a
husband. The old boy oilers the
modest sum of fifty thousand to the
one who finds his little Mariana.
We're going to • get her for the
greater glory of the Comet. It's -a
general alarm. Here's a picture of
the renegade,"
"What do you think of it, Alicia?"
asked Dale, discovering his lovely
neighbor and quickly telling her
what it was all about.
"Fifty thousand dollars!" he sigh-
ed, (`Just imagine, Alicia, what one
could do with that. Why ,
Later, when he had her alone in
the secluded corner of their favorite
restaurant, he took a deep breath,
"I'm going after that ntoney,1L he
declared determinedly. "I need it,
and if . , if I get it , , , Alicia,
darling, have I ever told you that I
love you? If I get the money will
you , , , marry me?" -.
• The girl smiled and raised her
head. There was something in
the lovely mouth, framed by her
reddish hair, that made the palm
'I love you, Dale," said Alicia,
solemnly,
tree behind her dance a madrigal
before Dale's dreaming eyes.
"I love you, Dale," said Alicia
solemnly. 'I will starry you,"
Then she twinkled. "Let's do it
right away,"
Dale and Alicia were married
that week and their radiant young
faces in the newsroom advertised
their happiness. The marriage,
however, they kept -secret, although
they managed to find a small
, apartment, to be furnished with
their joint savings. But how to keep
It was a puzzle, unless Dale, dis-
covered the princess.
"It seems a hopeless rash,
Alicia," lamented Dale, ".Every-
body's giving up, This Princess
Mariana is the best little hider
ii agineahle." •
She pulled his ear teasingly.
"Don't worry. Things will look
different in the morning,"
•
Alicia was a prophetess. Dale
usvoke fn lied a strange girl sitting
at the foot of the bed. The horning
sunlight was no more golden than
her hair. Tier eyes danced v'di
mischief,
"What .. wish .. , Allele?"
"I told you 'things would be dif-
ferent in the morning. But it is
still Alicis , • , minus the hair dye
Marianas Alicia Delano di
Bartholdi , , Mrs, Date fiarms-
wworth, bly mother was an Amer-
ican, So T don't mind if you.. tell

get the money from dad before
your duention that Inc your wife.
We need it for our honeymoon."

Lovely Wreath That
Ddesn't Cost a Cent
if the lovely holly wreath you
saved so carefully, front last Christ-
.. has been lost, or dried out and
fallen apart, here is a good idea, and
an inexpensive way of replacing it,
"I have some wire hoops that I've
• saved for several years which form
the frame for the wreath,• t get a
supply of laurel leaves or princess
pine, or some other kind of ever-
green: take a ball of heavy string
and start to work. The string, of
course, is to tie the sprigs of leaves
or pine to the hoop. I just keep
wrapping round and ..round the hoop,
adding leaves all the time, until the
entire hoop is filled with greenery,
Neat the end of the jol> i work in
a few extra doodads, to add a little
variety. For instance, pine cones,
partridge berries, sprays of juniper
all add color and novelty to a wreath
and euake it just a little nicer look-
ing than it would b,p if you left it
plain. If I want to be real fancy, I
take a little silver or gilt paint and
paint up some shall cones for the
wreaths.
"Souse folks like to fix their
Christmas wreaths with candles in
the center, but when I want to have
e light in the center of a wreath, 1
hitch up a little electric light, Then
I know there's no danger of any-
thing catching on Circ."

With the neat situation what It
is, recipes for dist that don't
require any, but still hearty
nourishing and tempting are wel-
come in most families. Here's ono
for a soup tisat I can guarantee
fills all those qualificat' and I
think your folks will enjoy It for
a change some day.
Oat And Vegetable Soap
Cook one chopped onion in one
tablespoon lard, or sausage fat, ha
a heavy kettle until lightly browned.
Add 2 sliced carrots and six cepa
water. Bring to a boil and then add
three-quarters of a cup of rolled
oats. Cook ' 80 minutes, thee
add 2 cups of tomato juice and
seasoning to taste. Simmer for
about 10 minutes before serving.
Sevel'al of the "big circulation"
magazines have been publishing
frightening articles about how, be-
fore many years have passed, the
world will be faced with starvation.
World population is increasing so
rapidly, and productive soil being
lost — through erosion and other
causes — at such a rate, that there
simply won't be enough food to go
around. No doubt you've seen some
of t.ais stuff and — like myself —
thought that the writers must know
what they were talking about,
(Not that I personally worried
enough to lose any sleep. I'm not
like the jittery old lady who went
to a lecture by a famous scientist
and, right in the middle of it, stood
up and interrupted the speaker, "Olt,
professor," site said, "how long did
you say it would be before the world
becomes so cold that nothing wilt
be able to live on it?" "One BIL-
LION years," was the reply. "Oh,
titanic goodness," said the lady. "I
was so terribly worried—I thought
you said a MILLION!)
f, s,
But anyway it's nice, for a change,
to find a man who oinks that these
"starvation soon" prophets are all
i et. His opinion should be worth
while too, as rte's Dr, Charles E.
Kellogg, chief of the Soil Survey
Division of the U.S. Dept. of- Agri-
culture, and has studied the soils of
the world at first hand, and at the
request of many foreign govern-
ments. Perhaps you'll be interested
in sone of the things Dr, Kellogg
has to say—so here goes.
* * *
"It has become popular to say that
the people of the world cannot feed
themselves," he writes,, "that our
resources are diminishing while our
population mushrooms. That the
only cure is mass birth control
among the people of India, China
and other overcrowded lands, That
because some people have always
been hungry, some people are for-
ever doomed to be hungry. 1
DON'T BELIEVE IT."

"Considering new technology I
am confident food could be pro-
duced for TWICE the world's pre-
sent population. —In the past few •
years I have had the chance to study
agriculture and its problems in
many parts of tele world --in our
familiar temperate regions, in the
far north, and in the tropics. I am
convinced that we have the soil and
the knowledge to raise more than
enough food for the world,:
•

"Of greatest importance are the
large areas of tropical soils, • Great
areas in Africa and South Ainerica,
and lesser areas in Cental America
and in several of the tropical islands
like New Guinea, Madagascar and
Borneo—are scarcely used at all.
If we could count on about 20 per
per cent of these areas we should
add around a billion acres. By using
the new land we should nearly
double prewar supplies of cereals
anti milk We would more than
double roots and tubers, sugar, fats
and oils, fruits and vegetables,"
"Bur do we need all these new
acres to meet the goals? During the
early part of the war estimates were
made of what increased production
it ' would bC1' Ct'
p a cal for the
An •n
Herten fanner to make, In the
United States crop production in-
creased abort 22 per cent in the
per -
rod 1944 47ovcr 1035_3q, Even ef-
ficiency in five stock production
went up 8 pct' cent per animal unit.'
Farts output
•
put per worker increased
d
10 per cert, The world could—on
the PRESENT farmland increase
sugar by 15 per cent, fruit and t•ege-
tables by 35 per cent, roots and tub-
ers by 50 per cent and other items
by 20 per cent, THIS WOULD
BE EXTRA PRODUCTION
FROM LAND WE'RE AL-
READY CULTIVATING"

"Modern science will change the
tropics as a place to live. Many of
the diseases are being brought under
control, Modern medical facilities,
drainage systems and air conditiop'
ing, which will come along with
good farms and factories, will
change liking conditions complete-
ly.,,
is 5 i,
I have no space to quote Dr.
Kellogg's fine article at greater
length; but in summing the matter
up he says, "If we really WANT to
feed the world these seven steps
should be taken at once,
1. Increase fertilizer production,
especially in regions of famine such
as India,
2 Make wider distribution of
seeds and plants of improved,
higher -yielding varieties of crops.
3. Expand irrigation on soils
Which are suited for it.
4. Develop hydro -electric power
sources, especially in the tropics,
where lack of power is not' the
limiting stung factor in food production.
5. Control diseases and insects.
Even though such controls are
known, they are not applied in large
areas of the world.
6. Distribute farm nrachitfery
where it is badly needed,
7. Educate foreign farmers with
simple, easy -to -understand pam-
phlets. Progress depends on how
much the actual man on the land
knows about his job.
Keep Garbage
Out of Furnace
Burning of garbage in the home
furnace will tend to damage the
grates. Although a common prac-
tice iu many houses, the use of
the furnace or heating boiler as
an incinerator will sltorten the life
of the heating equipment. Acids
from the food will drip onto the
grates, Under the intense heat of
the fire tlse corroding action of these
acids is increased, soon pitting and
damaging the metal parts.
Even tlse upper parts of the°fire
box, and flue pipes may be corroded
by the acid vapors, it is pointed
out. Not only is the efficiency of
the furnace impaired, but possible
leaks of coal gas may result.
By Certain Standards
The young bride was entertain-
ing a visitor at tea.
"1 cooked my first dinner last
night," she confided, "and It was
a great success."
Really! Pm so glad," murmured
the visitor.
"Yes, my husband is going to
get me a cook right away."
