It'll Take a , Heap of Something To Make Tins House a Home Wouldn't you like to .own the attractive brick residence, above, with its white shutters and well - kept lawn? Lots of people would, and they ask real estate agents if it's for sale. Door-to-door salesmen try to rouse the occupants and one firm even senf a letter, saying they would be glad to reproduce the house on the owner's Christmas cards. All in vain, however. That's because the "dwelling" is no dwelling at all. It's a pumping station for the Mission Hills sewer district of Kansas City, under the jurisdiction of Johnson County. Inside there are neither family nor furni- ture — lust a moss of pumping machineryenneir and^its' attendants, lower picture shows. 14 cup buttermilk (add Little more if needed) 11 tablespoons melted butter 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 tablespoon sugar Grated rind of Ih lemon 2 pinches ginger or mace Combine ingredients in order given, Roll out on well floured board to about 34 -inch thick, Cut in round pieces about the size of a pie.

Tough Approach Gets The Girls Some future husbands and wives have met under far from favourable circumstances. They have laughed at each other's strange appearance, literally knocked each other over, or one has given the other a black eye, Last year an Essex man and a South African girt announced their engagement. They met when he was having cricket practice at the nets. She asked if she might bat, and then was scornful about the speed of ,his bowling. So he sent down a really fast one and broke her jaw. A corporal from Tottenham rushed round a corner in Hong " Kong an d swept a pretty Chinese waitress off her feet. Recently they arrived in Liver- pool as man and wife. The tough approach seems to get the women. A Californian girl agreed to marry the man who had twisted her arm and thrown he over his shoulder. The man was a ju-jutsu expert. On first acquaintance, a Ful- ham couple weren't at all im- pressed by each other. When he won a knobby knees com- petition at a holiday camp she was convulsed with laughter. So he pushedher into a swimming - pool. I's usually when you, aren't thinking of marriage that you come across your future mate. An Italian walked, into a dress- maker's shop to ask for help in sewing on a button. Soon after- wards he married the girl who had helped him. One American found the love of his life sitting in a stalled giant wheel at a fair, He climb- ed up to rescue her. A well. -known English par• trait painter was .thinking of nothing more than a recruiting poster when he first saw his wife -to -be. Asked to choose a niOdel from a hall full of Wrens, he fell in love with the girl he had picked, BIBS BANISH BEANIES — Coed Penny Peterson's beanie will shortly join the raccoon coat of the '20's in the limbo of out- moded campus fashions at De Paul University. The university's Student Activity Council has de- creed that henceforth the mark of a freshman will be a white baby bib such as Penny is sport- ing, which is lettered: "I'm a Little DEMON From De Paul." Comparisons Talk to any pet shop owner and he'll tell you that while man is distinguished from other animals by his brain and his hands, there the difference ends,. Why? Because man has been called c h i c k e n -livered, lion-hearted, pigeon-toed, •treacherous as a snake, sly as a fox, busy as a bee, slippery at. an eel, indust- rious as an ant, blind as a bat, faithful as a dog, gentle as a lamb, drunk as an owl, still as a ,mouse, nervous as a cat, stub- born as a mute, thirsty as a camel, strong as on ox, vain as a peacock, happy as a lark, slow as a tortoise, crazy as a loon and led like a sheep. e He has the memory of an ele- phant, a beak for a nose, the arms of an ape, the eyes of a hawk, the neck of a bull, a whale of an appetite, raven hair, The shoulders of a buffalo, a catlike walk and a mousy man- ner. He roars like a lion, eons like a dove, hops like a sparrow, works like a horse, flies like a bird, runs like a deer, drinks like a fish, swims like a duck, stickshis head in the sand like an ostrich, acts like a dog in a manger, p l a y s possum, gets hungry as a bear, wolfs his food, parrots everything, acts like a puppy, struts like a rooster and chatters like a ma gale. Took 8000 Hours To Make One Vase What are, or were, the arms of England? This little problem of heraldry recently proved a headache for British potters who produced the Queen's vase, one of the most complicated pieces of bone china ever made, as a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. The finest craftsmen and ar- tists in the industry worked since before the Coronation to produce this ten -sided decorated vase which was recently pre- sented to Her Majesty. About 50 of the most expert workmen contributed more than 8,000 hours to produce it. At the top of the front centre panel is reproduced the royal coat of arms on a projecting shield. In each of the two pan- els immediately adjacent are four smaller raised shields, on each of which is reproduced re- spectively the Tudor rose, the Scottish thistle, the Irish sham- rock, and the Welsh leek. Also reproduced are the arms of the four "mother countries" of the Commonwealth. But when the designers came to the arms of England, they hesitated. They could find no reference book to help them. So they rang up the College of Her- alds. The college replied that England had no separate arms'. now. The arms of England and Scotland were amalgamated on the creation of Great Britain by the treaty of union in 1707. What was to be done? Obvi- ously, to represent the arms of England separately, but, once again, what were they? No one seemed to know. The advice of the College of Heralds was sought again. They said that the arms of England were three leopards passant gardaut, which means "Looking at you as they walk past," and that they first 'figured on the barriers of King Richard the Lion -Heart: So the potters of England were able to get on with the making of the Queen's vase after all. DISPENSABLE P, J. Barnum loved to show visiting clergymen an exhibit he called "The Happy Family" wherein lions, tigers and 'pan- thers squatted around a lamb without as much as smacking their lips inanticipated' gusta- tory pleasure, A minister once asked' Barn- um if the group ever gave him any trouble. "No," said Barnum, "except for replacing the lamb every day, they all get along well to- gether," When ` Button Were Treasured At our home in the Kentucky hills, several years ago, buttons were probably used more than any other thing, They were Salvaged front worn out shirts and dresses and families usually stored them in a small cedar chest or some highly decorative box. Whatever was used to store them, it occupied a prom- inent spilt end provided orna- mentation for the top of a dresser, chest, or mantel. Even eyelets from old shoes were gently lifted out el leather and placed among the buttons, Why I don't know, because I can't recall them ever being used for anything, When visitors came, and visit- ' ing was the most common social pastime, thebutton box, like the fancily' album, was looked into and picked Over with great enthum.w Nol siaspare as taken about sort- ing buttons as to :their color, shape, size, uniqueness or beauty. But'there were always enough buttons of one kind to use when Mom wanted to make a complete dress or shirt On the sewing -machine. Buttonswere never purchas- ed at our house. Mom, always admonished the children about getting their clothes caught on a door latch, or nail that might snap off a button, It was bet- ter, she 'always said, to tear a good clean straight hole in clothes than to lose even one 'button, writes Quentin R. How- ard in The Christian Science Monitor. I remember whenever one of the children informed her that he had torn his clothes she would always question; "Did you lose a button?" At our house, our buttons were stored in a quart proclain jar with a big red rose imbed- ded onopposite sides. Dad bought the jar for a bargain price at the county fair shortly after he and Mom were married., In all the years that the jar re- mainedat our house, it never cracked and the roses never lost their color. But the open- ing of the jar was hardly large enough for us to get our hands through, and that was the only bad thing about -it. When a button was needed the contents had to be dumped on the bed or table top, and it was always a good-sized chore to pick the buttons up and put them back in the jar. The jar decorated our mantel along with the West- minster clock. Mom was always very much concerned about the button jar and she kept her eyes on it for fear that some of us would lose the buttons. Oc- casionally she would let us play with them. An effective way to gain at- tention was to thread a large button on a stout string, loop the ends of the string over thumb and forefinger of each hand. With the button moved to the centre of the string, and pulling hands apart, like an ac- complished accordion player, the button would whirl and make a loud hissing sound. Old folks as well as young people would engage in and enjoy this activity. If my -accident, the button and string got entangled in someone's "hair, it became- a chore indeed to extricate them. At times, highly colored but- tons were used to decorate quilts .A quilt, that was called "The Evening Star," had on the four tips of the large star in its centre yellow buttons which added to its distinction and ex- treme beauty. Mom got the pattern from Aunt Betty who lived in an adjoining ,county, and it took months to gather enough pieces of cloth to make the quilt. Once the pieces were out the assembling and sewing was speedily done. This quilt covered the top of the bed in our best room, called "lower" room, only on week -ends Or when company came. Mon beamed when compliments were lavishly handed out. When Vel- ma, my oldest sister married, the quilt was given to her and it remains in her family today. The only time during a year that our button jar was emptied was during Christmas week, ' Buttons, like popcorn, were threaded on strings to decorate the tree, to hang in windows, along with the holly and to drape over doors, Since Christ- masseals were scarce or .W4 couldn't afford to buy them, buttons were placed on gift packages. We always looked forward to our button Christ- mases. When the season was over the buttons were taken from the strings, under Mom's Watchful eyes and put back in- side the jar. Dad was as versatile in his use of buttons as with 'his pocket knife. Of course, his use of buttons was for our enjoy- ment and we appreciated his use of them more than what Mom used them for. He would take a handful of buttons and, with a few finely cut pieces of wood, make objects of many kinds. Tiny sleds, wheel -bar- rows and wagons were his spec- ialties, for the girls, Be often made delicate tables and chairs for their gaily colored hand- made dolls: As I look back to the button days, I often think -what a pity that Dad's handiwork couldn't have survived. But it was al- ways necessary for Mom to use the buttons for more suitable purposes. HER HERO The newlyweds were honey- mooning in Atlantic City. As they walked arm and arm along the beach, he looked out to sea and said eloquently: "Roil on, thou deep and dark blue oceon, roll." His bride gazed at the break- ers for a moment, then in hush- ed and reverent tones, said, "Oh, Everett, you wonderful man. It's doing it." NAVAL HEAD—Adm. Earl Mount- batten was named chief of the British Navy. He will be Lord Cornmisioner of the Admiralty, First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff succeeding Admir- al of the Fleet Sir Roderick McGrigor.
