Out'.of his„ despair, one man cries ter the answer. "I was completely deceived by the woman," he writes, "whom I came to love beyond all else, For her 1 tossed aside my faithful wife of 25 years, lost my two wonderful children. Now, at 50, after six years, I am still waiting for her to marry me! I have lost my home, my loved and prosper- ous practice. I have been asked to resign by my long-time asso- ciates. I am broke, and reduced to manual work to exist. Word travels fast when you slip, and helps kick you lower. "I was completely sincere with her. I wanted nothing but a good marriage, and I believed her promises. I sense now there must be some strange, strong bond in her childless marriage to her hus- band — but she must be made of stone to cast me so aside. Perhaps I kept her waiting too long while I broke all my ties?

BIGGEST BANG Scientists say that the greatest explosion in history was the vol- canic explosion of the Javanese island. Krakotoa, in 1883: the big- gest atomic explosion we've had so far doesn't hold a candle to that one, The blast sent six to ten cubic miles of earth 20,000 feet into the air. The roar was heard distinctly 3.000 miles away, and the waves started by the blast were recorded at London, 8,000 miles away. For two years. the duet -laden atmosphere pro- duced brilliant dawns and sun sets all over' the world. Root Of The Trouble — These two cornstalks, held by Joyce Chandler, were taken from fields where the Missouri Farmers Association is conducting experiments in the use of soil lnsecti- cides, The stalk on the left suffered rootworm damage, while the stalk on the right, from a row treated with aldrin, had a healthy root system and no rootworm damage. ,mow Can I Q.•Ilow cap.

If so I suppose most of us are hoping that good fortune will come our way. Hoping .. , come to think of it good fortune usu- ally needs more than hope to encourage it, don't you agree? Hope is rather a spineless quali- ty unless we give it a boost with a little honest -to -goodness old- fashioned grit and gumption. For instance we may hope to get a lot of extra jobs done this winter; hope to get caught up with our correspondence; hope that mother-in-law will be easi- er to live with this year when she comes for her usual winter visit. And no doubt we all of us hope that this talk about a recession is just talk and nothing else. We hope ... we hope .. . but what are we doing to bring about the fulfilment of our hop -e?? Hope won't get these extra jobs done, nor will it write a single letter. And hope never yet made anyone easier j to live with. Tolerance, sym- apathy and understanding ac- complishlfar more. And for good ness sake, what is the good of "hoping" that a recession is' not • on the way? I have met quite a number of farm folk — and oth:•re — wee arc terribly wor- ried because they think difiieult times ere ahead, So whit? I•"ew • of there, af fur as I know are dninn e.nything alyaut it. And Yet there is an old provtnh that tells -us exactly what we should do -- "Hope for the best but peeper' for the worst" To me that makes sense. If we work hard to brine about a desired result then we have reason to hone fur succi+s:. And that policy certainly u7- plies to a possible recession — a recess!• n which is in fact al- ready with us to a moderate ex- tent. How cin it be otherwise? Farm produce' prices are lower, labour and rtt'min;: expenses higher. The result is obvious, so why she away from -the thought?

Tinted Fingernails Old As The pills Though tinted finger nails are as old as Egypt, it wasn't until the comparatively recent devel- opment of commercial lacquers that antiquated pastes and Powe dens were discarded in favor of quick -drying liquid poll,sh.e Northam Warren, 'a p3 6an pharmaceutical ohemjsir,.ig Jtle-ed- ited with making Hehadpile ,'0:' D1eo- cen- tury Lash oT, secrets long con- sidered producing, a lacquer sub- stitute for the Inatlioient hand buffer's of the day. Hut the un- pleasant custom of cutting the cuticle with seissora or a knife diverted his attention for several years, And so, it wasn't until the young' eheznist had successfully formulated the first bottle of liquid cuticle remover in 1911 that he was able to turn his mind to manufacturing a quick -drying, long-lasting lacquer for the nails. Finally, in 1916 the first brush- applied nail lacquer appeared on the market. It was colorless and few women rushed out to buy it. The following year the chemist altered his product slightly and created a new fashion. He tint- • ed the clear lacquer with a pale rose pigment, This' was the birth of a multi-million dollar indus- try that has never known a de- pression. Nail polish sold across the counter today is a vastly different product from the simple lacquers applied by, more dating women during the First World War.' Polishes now adhere better, dry. quicker, *ear Ionger and have. been specially compounded to resist the effeats of strong soaps, hot water and- sea bathing, When one woman complained that her brightly manicured nails faded at the beach, manufacturers promptly set about making their shades sun -fast as well. New shades are now closely cued to current .color trends in the fashion industry. The mom- ent tangerine was introduced several seasons. back a: • •- tume color, nail polish manufac- turers were ready with there u.,1 - ties of tangerine -tinted nail lac- quers. Last spring a pinkish hue was the harmonizing nail fashion. This spring it will probably' be a bright, clear red. Because there are endless vari- ations of red and pink, nail: pol- ish is one of the most difficult lacquers to produce. Key roan in the manufacturing process is the tinter. Because men some- times see colors differently, Lint- ers are always tested first to de- termine whether they 'actually visualize colors as do the ma- jority of people. Only after years of experience in recogniz- ing almost imperceptible vari- ations in shades, do they qualify as profesional tinters. As women are usually more sensitive to color than men, they are sometimes engaged for color comparison and final appoval work. However, since some of the duties of a tinter involve lifting heavy batches of lacquer and pigments, few women are attracted to this highly special- ized field. Manufacturers offer a tip ro women who complain about hav- ing to toss out half-filled bottles of nail polish because the unused contents have become too thick to spread evenly. This is often the result of failing to screw the cap on tightly enough, they say, and suggest wiping the clogged area around the bottle neck with a facial tissue moistened in nail polish remover before replacing the cap. ing track of your income and expenditure. Go over your ac- counts for 1953 — you will have to sooner or later anyway to make out your income tax re- turns. But don't wait until the last week in March. Do it NOW while the year is still young, and by so doing find out ways and means by which you can economise. Your way may not be our way because we all have different ideas on economy However, only by a careful study of past accounts is it pos- sible to find the loopholes through which unnecesserily high expenditure has been seep - in;; through. Ways and means mey differ but the same funda- meetal principle applies to all farm rolls wishing to economise -- cul down on the overhead and reduce current expenditure. That is possibly a better policy than to try and increase one's income — at least by more in- tensive farming. Grow more crops, grow more produce, sell more produce,- and thus you help to aggravate markets that are already glutted. Price cuts auto- matically follow with the farm- er contributing to the very thing he has been trying to avoid — a reduction in farm income The very nature of his calling makes it impossible for the far- mer to go on strike — even if he wanted to. But there is noth- ing to stop him following the labour roan's policy - less work, fewer working hours and better pay. One farmer alone cannot do it but it would be possible if all farmers adopted the same plan. You will notice I said "fewer" — not shorter hours. Farm animals• cannot be put on trade union hours so to put in less time the farmer would have to arrange his schedule to suit himself.

Color -styling the outside of the house la becoming as fascinating an adventure in decorating as doing, over, the living room. Not a0 long ago houses were Pain ted drab brown, buff, grey or green to preserve the surface, Little thought Was given to enhancing the design. Now, there are ex- terior paints that vie with inter- ior ones 10 color excitement, Theprotect will opevty against t the han slat p ments, A well-chosen color scheme can give a house an entirely new per- sonality, make, it look larger, con- ceal an ugly feature as well as increase its resale or rental value considerably. Among the newest paints for exterior use is'a line of suburban colors specially developed to col- or -style erected or remodelled city and suburban homes. Bright and cheerful, they have been de- veloped to harmonize with sur- rounding landscapes, the house next doer and each other. They have a look of permanence about them that helps overcome a new community's lack of trees „end shrubs. All modern living colors, they consist of a smokey blue, a sparkling turquoise, Mother Nature's own spruce, a cool coral, e rich sungold and a refreshing lime. A hoose has two large color areas -the roof and the wells. They need not match. Usually they don't. But their colors should be carefully related. Hence Ibis family of harmonizing suburban .colors which help home, owners relate roof, wall's, garage, gable ends as well as such "accent areas" es chimneys, shutters, windows and doors. If planning to remodel with paint this spring, just follow the same guides used when choosing a dress or a suit, Dark colors make areas look smaller, light colors make them bigger, hori- zontal panels of color give the illusion of width, vertical panels height. Warm colors advance, cool colors recede, small areas of bright color balance sections of subdued color. Paint a small home set back from the street white and it will loom larger and appear to ad- vance several feet. Coneic er your color neighbors on either side. Select a basic shade that will harmonize with them. Try land- scaping with color. If the trees and shrubs seem to overshadow the house, light warm colors will help free it from the ma -s of tut- iage. On the other hand, if tae newly planted shru: ; -•• kneehigh, use a warm tee :n :.a•h as suburban spruce on the gnlr:e ends, walls or garage a*'d the house will assume an air of greater solidarity, Play down ugly featu eN,i ;t colors close to the wall she. Then use a strong color ll' e. suo- urban coral or turquoise un one feature, such as the front door to distract attention from to.s attractive parts. Finally, take a tip iram nature and keep the color scheme simple. Let one shade dominate the house's color style, just as a single color generally emphasizes the beauty of an individual flower. Other colors in the individual scheme can be in contrast or in harmony with the featured one.
