''Dear Anne Hirst: The young
man I'm in love with was
hurt by a girl a long while ago
He will not yet believe true
love exists anywhere; he con-
tends it's just a word! He dates
girls all the tine, never going
regularly with anyone.
'I • am 20, he is 20, We get
along wonderfully. I never
speak of love at all, of course,
but I know he likes me — and
the other night, he told me he
had gotten over the girl who
threw him over. Of course, that
gives me hope, but. what course
should I take from here? Is
there a chance that I can help
him see how wonderful a thing
love is — if you give it a chance?

• Play his game. When h e

* him on to talk about himself
" his opinions, his tastes

* him, slow to disgrace. Play the
* part of a sincere friend (and
* mean it) so he feels free to
* talk as frankly as he would
* to another man.
* In other words, make him
* feel at home with you. Since
* he admits he has recovered
* from the past, he should soon
* be in the mood to concentrate
* on one of the girls he still

• If you do mean more to him

* now and then will quicken
* his interest. So decline a date

• him think he can drop in any
• time he likes and find you ac-
' cessible. Let him wonder

Hope To Sarvage
King John"s Crown
Will King John's treasure, be-
lieved to have been lost in the
Wash nearly 740 years ago, be
discovered soon?
Hopes axe high that it may be
located and salvaged when a
new plan to wrest 50,000 acres
from the Wash under a reclama-
tion scheme is put into effect.
Legend says that the king's
two-mile baggage train included
priceless jewels and his regalia,
Men have spent fortunes in
romantic attempts to recover the
treasure.
Fenland farmers tell of fre-
quent treasure hunts over some
of the 75,000 acres of tidal land
which have been reclaimed since
the middle of the nineteenth
century.
Would-be discoverers of the
thirteenth -century regalia in-
clude an American millionaire
who many years ago spent a
large sum on a fruitless plan.
Another treasure hunter used an
electric divinator which, it was
claimed, would d et e c t metals
and precious stones at a great
depth.
Each time the hunt is on Fen -
people speculate about the
treasure which might be found
around their homesteads. But
always the hunters have gone
away empty-handed,
Now this new scheme of re-
clamation has stimulated fresh
interest. It seems that such a
large-scale plan cannot fail to
include the treasure spot.
Most of the treasure 'was
probably being carried, when it
sank, in a very big 'cart in the
middle of a column of vehicles --
all of which were lost when
huge breakers poured over the
royal train.
in school some small boys
were being told about the ter-
rific speed at which light tra-
vels.
"Just think of light coming to
us from the sun at all those
thousands of miles a second !"
enthused the teacher. "Isn't it
wonderful?"
"Not very," piped uo one
small voice room the back of the
class. "It's downhill all the way."

HOW queen Mary
Made a Carpet
I like to think that, in her own
special way, Queen Mary has
also linked these countries, and
the wonderful gros point carpet
which became known to us all
as Queen Mary's. Carpet is a
symbol of that achievement... .
She orijinally intended it as 0
gift for another member of the
royal family, But when, after
t h e war, Britain's economic
plight became desperate, she
made up her mind to present the
carpet to the nation for sale as
a royal "dollar export." The
money would help to buy new
machines for Britain's factories
from North America, and she
hoped to set an example for her
people by stressing the sacrifices
we all must make to ensure the '
success of the drive for dollars,
In 1948, six exquisite chair
seat covers which she had made
and given to a nursing organiza-
tion were sold in the United
States for $10,000; they are kept
now among the art treasures of
the Metropolitan Museum in
New York City.
Queen Mary started work on
the carpet in the early days of
the war when the German
bombers were droning over her
country. She chose the hundred
pastel colours with special care—
the ' soft beiges, the delicate
grays, the b l u e s, turquoises,
mauves and ambers for every
individual flower and leaf, bird
and blossom in the design,
In my memory I can see her
sitting by the tall windows of
Marlborough House, sewing bag
at hand, pursuing the intricate
tracery of patterns, as soon as
breakfast, letter writing and
Palace business was completed.
She was following a long tra-
dition where British Queens are
concerned, starting with Mar-
garet, Anglo-Saxon *Queen of
Scotland in the tenth century,
down through the centuries to
Queen Victoria. In some ancient
English palaces and manor -
houses, one can still inspect the
work of Catherine of Aragon
and her daughter, Mary I.
Our Queen Mary worked as
they must have done. The rows
of wools, four hundred and
eighty different kinds by the
time the carpet was finished.
were ranged in parade -ground
order beside her chair. Seated
straight-backed and serene, she
would choose the color she want-
ed, snip off a length of it walk
her silver -gilt scissors kept !1 a
worn leather case, swiftly thread
a needle without the aid of
spectacles, and make another
stitch ._
She worked regularly until
lunch and then again in the late
evening, six to seven hours a
day. Slowly but surely the
tapestry grew, four stitches a
minute in her ceaseless skill. The
first of the twelve panels was
completed in May, 1941, and she
added the finishing 'touch of a
true artist—her signature "Mary
11." and the date. Eight years
and one million stitches after she
commenced her womanly, queen
ly task, Queen Mary's Carpet
was ready to be shipped across
the 3,000 miles of ocean
aboard the Cunard liner which
proudly bears her name. — From
"Mother and Queen," by Marion
Crawford.
1215 SYSTEM.
A prizefighter and his lady
dined at a large restaurant in
the Times Square area. When
the waiter presented the check,
the prizefighter handed him a
five dollar bill and told hien to
keep the change. The pug then
got up and suddenly gave the
waiter a black eye.
On the sidewalk, the fighter
lighted a cigar. The the police
arrived.
"A fine waiter, that gu ,' the
pug explained to the judo"I
expect to dine there again te-
morrow."
"if he's such a line waiter,"
asked the judge, "why did you
slip him that black eye?" The
pug puffed on his cigar. "I like
that guy for a waiter," he ex-
plained. "And When I go back
there tomorrow, I'll have no
trouble picking hien out."

Did you ever see so Bruch
haled' hay in the fields as there
'is this year? It just seems that
in passing through the country
wherever yqu look there are
fields and fields of baled hay.
-But apparently, there is a reason
for it. Acco ding to one farm
specialist hay should be baled a
little on the tough side and the
Bales left out in the field for a
ay or two for..the hay to cure -
which is just" the ,opposite from
what farmers,s ere 'doing when
baling first became, pppu;lar,
Then it was gilled as`y
dry pos-
sible and hurfed inti: the barn
before it had a chance to get wet,
If the hay got well cured it was
more by accident than good
management—generally through
lack of help to get it in. Besides
that unless a farmer had his own
baler he had to get his hay done
whenever the baler cpuld come.
This year it is a little different.
There are so many fellows doing
custom baling they are on the
run to get to each farmer ahead
of the other fellow.
Hay baling }s fine when there
is such a definite shortage of
farm help but it seems a crime
there should be such a waste of
good wire and twine afterwards.
For the first year or two farmers
could save the wire and shli it
for a cent a pound. Now you
can't even give it away, . Some
of it can be used for fixing
fences and so on but the rest is
just a waste product that nobody
wants,
Some machines operate with
twine, and that is almost as
great a problem as the wire. A
certain amount of it can be made
use of but the proportion is very
small as each bale contains 12 to
16 feet of twine. Multiply that
by a thousand bales and you
have a lot%of twine. On .many
farms during the spring the
twine is just gathered up and
burnt. And yet, during the de-
pression, I remember so well
that after a threshing Partner
used to rake through the straw
to salvage binder twine for tying
up his grain bags, rather than
cut new twine from a ball. Sure-
ly twine at least could be re -used
in some way, perhaps in the
manufacture of rope. Which re-
minds me . Partner wanted
a halter rope for a calf the other
day. Instead of buying one he
got several lengths of baler
twine and braided them to-
gether. It made an excellent
rope. I think twine might also
be used to make a braided mat
for the back porch, but that I
haven't fried yet.
Another waste product ... all

the various feo4-mixing. plants
for fastening the .top of $, to
bags. Partner always saves the
string until 'he 'has a` fair-sized'
ball. And I save what I get With'.'

Daily Diet
To be healthy, the body needs
fuel -foods, fats and carbohyd-
rates (sugars and starches), to
provide energy; proteins, such as
meat, to build new tissues for
growth or to replace those worn
out; calcium, in milk, for the
strong bones and teeth; and
various minerals, including salt,
that help the body to maintain
its chemical balance and to carry
on Its functions.
Vitamins are not foods, but
these "food -factors", as they are
called, are essential. They help-
the body to make use of the food
we eat. Vitamins already pre-
sent in food are usually enough
for a normal person if his diet is
otherwise well balanced,
Every day you should eat
some foods from each of these
groups: (1) milk or milk prh-
ducts, including cheese—at least
a pint of milk for an adult and
..more fOr a child; (2) citrus fruits
(oranges, grapefruit), tomatoes,
or raw cabbage or salad greens
—at least one; (3) green or yel-
low vegetables, some raw, some
cooked -at least one big serving;
(4) .other vegetables or fruits,
including potatoes; (5) bread
and cereals; (6) meat, poultry
or fish; (7) eggs—three or four
a week at least; (8) butter or
another vitamin -rich spread,
without reason. Now chemical
sprays are used to kill it. Partner
always claims a good feed Of
fresh chicory will increase the
butter -fat content of the milk
quicker than anything. Cows
will even leave goad alfalfa for.
a patch of chicory. I remember
reading. a book -but I have for-
gotten what book — that the
writer fully expected that the
day would come when chicory
would be cultivated for its .high
food value! '

there is in common cattails. We
