been ,given up for the day—wailcecl
away through the meadows, and up
into the road, and so on to the little
hamlet; the western Sky was shining
in silver gray and lemon and saffron,
and 'there was a soft, s'treet•feeling- al-
most as of summer in the air, though
the year was yet young. They had got
six 'fish all told; that is to say, Mr.
Hodson'. !boat 'had got one more in
the afternoon, while .Miss Carry had
managed to pick .up a small thing of
eight pounds or so just as they were
leaving off, The fiaot was, they did not
care to prosecute the ,fishing till the
last moment, ,for there was to be alit-
tle kind of dinner celebration that ev-
ening, and no doubt some of them
wanted to make themselves as .smart
as !possible—though ,the possibilities
as a rule don't go very far in the case
of a'fis'hing-;party in a Highland inn—
all to pay due h.anor to the 'beide.
And surely if ever !Meenie could lay
'claim to 'the title of ,Rose Meenie it
was oh this evening .when she came
among these stranger folk—who were
aware of 'her story, if not a word was
said or hinted of it—and found all the
women Ibe petting her, And ,Mrs.
Douglas was there, radiant in silk and
ribbons, if somewhat austere in man-
,ner; and the big, good-natured doc-
tor was there full 'to''ovedRowinig ,with
jest and 'quips and aoctiit Scotch 'stor-
ies; and Mr. and Mrs, Murray had
done their best for the 'decoration of
the ,dining-room—though tSuthesl'and-
shire in April is tar from 'being Flor-
ida. And perhaps, too, Miss Carry was
a little paid ou't when she saw the per-
fectly servile adulation • which Mr. r.
C. Huysen [(who •had a sensitive heart,
according to the young men of the
'iNew Yo11k Sun") laid at the feet of
the pretty young bride; though Me.
Hodson rather interfered with that,
clanging .Mrs, 'Strang as his own. Of
coarse ,Miss 'Kerfoot was rather down-
hearted, 'because of the absence of her
Toto and .his 'banjo; but •'Ronald had
promised 'her she ,should kill a salmon
on the morrow, .and that ,comforted
her a little. Mrs. L•alor had recovered,
and was .chiefly an amused spectator;
there was a good deal of human nat-
ure :'bout, and she had eyes.
,Altogether' it was a pleasant enough
evening; for although the Americans
and the Scotch are the two nations out
of all the world that are the most
madly given to after-dinner speech
making nothing of the kind was at-
tempted. Mr. Hodson rmerely raised
his 'glass and gave "The 'Bride!" and
Ronald said a few manly and sensible
words in reply. ,Even Mrs. Douglas so
far forgot the, majesty ,of IGleengask
and 'Orosay as to !become quite com-
placent; !perhaps she reflected that it
was, .after all, ,chiefly through the
kindness of these people that her
daughter and her 'daughter's .husband
had 'been placed in a comfortable and
assured position.
!Ronald and Meenie had scarcely
had time as yet to cease from ibeing
lovers, and so it was that on this
same night he presented her with two
or three more of those rhymes that
sometimes he still wrote about her
when the fancy seized him. In fact,
he had written these verses as he sat
on the deck of the big screw steamer,
when she was ,slowly steaming up the
R•aasay Sound:

Nearly every, country has its :pet

moth story. This one 'usually mums to

all of his food to wolves, After he
has stumbled along for days, on the
,verge of starvation, he 'spies a cltanap
sof fur sticking out of the ice. He
chops the ice away and Ifin.ds that the
ftir 'belongs to a mammoth—one of
the hairy elephants that 'became ex-
,bi'not some 20,1000 years ago.
So perfectly has the 'beast been pre-
served by the 'cold that the trapper
cuts Himself off a steak, eats it and
I
plows happily back to 'civilization.
,Preposterous though it sounds, the
mstmmoth story just 'happens to 'be
true. Pictures are available of a mam-
moth exhumed in a nearly perfect
state of preservation as recently as
1005. So far as scientists know, nie'at,
'frozen ,properly, .can easily survive
for twenty milleniums. iFu'rthermore,
there is evidence that more plebeian
things !than mammoth steaks—straw-
berries, lobsters and asparegtrs, for
example—become practically .immor-
tal if chilled properly and kept at a
sufficiently low temperature.
This new knowledge hasn't been
used merely to amuse a group of fac't-
seeking research men. On it rests a
brand-new industry: the quick-frozen
foods industry. To 'prevent confusion
cast 'lfrozen" foods out of your mind.
The new industry has nothing to .do
with frozen fish and chickens :that
most housewives complain so bitterly
about.
The new industry was born during
the depression and today is in about
the saute :position that the canning, in-
dustry was in fifty years ago. !Each
year since its inception 11 has grown
at least •fifty ,per cent over the previ-
ous year. I'1 it .continues to grown—
there is every indication that it will--
count
will—count on it for n' heavy proportion of
the victuals you will eat in your old
age.
It is making all manner of goofy
things possible: oyster stew .in Aug -
est, and corn on the cob for Christ-
mas dinner; asparagus in October and
saran berry shortcake for Thanksgiv-
ing. The industry's ability to laugh at
the calendar rests on the 'fact that its
foods may 'be months old But its oy-
sters taste just as fresh as of they had
just been scooped out of Chesapeake
Bay, and its corn just as tender and
sugary as ears pulled a few hours be-
fore.

But "quick" freezing doesn't.
There is a world of difference be-
tween the two methods. You can get
a graphic picture of it by looking in-
side a bean, Well take' a sliver and
place it under• a microd'bo'pe. The cel-
lular structure looks like a 'honey-
conrb, each cell being filled with vis-
cous liquid. 'If we put our'microsco'pe

•phere—say O5' degrees 'F.—you can

Long, jagged, irregular ice crystals
start forming within the cell. They
grow and 'finally form a solirl conglo-

But, once thawed. extensive chenge

mineral salts and other products that
give the bean its taste—lea'k away.
There's nothing left but a (flabby, un-
attractive mass of vegetable matter. llt
is tasteless, worthless. -
Thirty years ago a scientist, named
Planck observed this happening and
wondered if there weren't some way
of preventing it. He wasn't so couch
interested in preserving vegetables as
he was in finding new I'atvs of crystal
formation, Planck was to pure scien-
tist bent on discovering basic new
principles. 'lie (found that in :freezing
any 'fluid there we, a zone of naaxi-
itmm crystallization. Simplified, this
simply means that in a certain tem-
perature zone the !biggest crystals are
former!. He found this zone to lie be-
tween 215 and i3l degrees F.
It occurred to other investigators
that if you could -whip vegetables
through this one rapidly enough you
would get a different set of crystals
within the cells. They tried all 'sorts
of methods. They immersed vegeta-
bles in liquid air. sprayed them with
brines at 50 degrees :below zero. and
froze them 'between plates packed in
dry ice.

done: let's slip another sliver of bean
under the microscope, then quick-
freeze it shy one of these methods.
This time, instead olf the large porcu-
pine mass, billions of tiny, needielike
crystals form. They are usually about
a hundredth the size of the slow -froz-
en 'crystals. -But the important point
is this; -they pack themselves tightly
together like toothpicks and do not
break the cell walls. On this phenom-
enon is 'built the new industry 'that
each year increases Its sales over the
year 'before by several millions of
-dollars.
You'll find these foods in the retail
markets of a relatively small section
of the country. !However, they reach
institutional otttlets in ,forty -!five
states. You've certainly eaten ,the
quickafrozen peas on railroad .diners
and the flounder 'fillets in 'hotels, The
retail outlets have lagged behind for
the 'quite simple reason 'that paokers,
in their wildest flights of fancy, have
been unable to foresee with what en-
thusiasm the public would . receive
their products, •
So each year markets have 'consum-
ed the 1510 per cent increase iri produc-
tion and pa'c'kers 'haven't had the
, chance to extend retail outlets as they
hoped to. 'Fluethermore, 'toward the
end of th•e 'quickefrozen season—they
are generally calculated to compete
with out -'oaf -season vegetables—sales

p stooped. Otherwise
supplies wouldn't last.
The means by which' these things
reach the market is a 'fascinating tale
of ,organization that would make the
owner of a highly mechanized circus
feel dike a hopeless (blunderer. Here
again the story starts in the labora-
tory. Let's take a look at the largest
packer in the ,field.
'Before he starts freezing any foods
lie first decides 'what varieties 'best
lend themselves to the process. 'When
the company started on peas, for ex-
ample, it found the high -starch peas

Empire Exhibition to Make 1938 Scotland's Year
'':4'`".47 :-
'As i a ,r..., .eser,; 3.
As last year was England's,
with Coronation, and Fran-
ce's, with the Paris Exposition, so
1938 will be all Scotland's and
mostly Criasgow's, with the great
Empire Exhibition which King
George will open in the Scottish
metropolis on May 5.
Weekly throughout the summer
Canadian Pacific liners will laud
visitors by the hundred at the
famed Tail of the Bank, almost
'within sight of the exhibition
grounds in Bellahouston Park.
Not: only will they see the exhibi-
tion, but in the majority of cases
these visitors attracted to Scot-
land by, the big show will go on
from there to see much of the
gest of Scotland. Appropriately
enough this year has beenchosen
by the Canadian Scot's Re -Union
for oau u_ ours
to the homeland. They will sail
lu a large tarty in the Duchess of
Richmond from Montreal . on
Illy S.
In the natural beauty of Bella-
houston Park, visitors will find
the greatest rhnw o` Emmis en-
gineering, and industry ever gath-
ered into one place. Modernistic
pavilions will house the .exhibits
of every Dominion and there will
be palaces of engineering., the
arts, inuustr;t. to mention but a
few. Tree -top restacraurs, built
on stilts, a 300 foot observation
tower atop the central hill, spaci-
ous walks and gardens and amu-
sements galore will provide re-
laxation for the visitors. Color
will be a striking feature, nevi -
lions willbe•eolored, there will be
green ones, blues, reds and yel-
lows. The open-air restaurants
and avenues will be gay with bril-
liantly colored sunshades and
awnings and at night the whole
scene will be :flood-lit—a fairy-like
scene on the banks of the Clyde.
The handsome pavilion 'seen in
an artist's drawing at the top left
is the Canadian Pavillon at, the
Empire Exhibition as it will ap-
pear when completed. Lower
r_,ht is a view of Loch Lomond,
one if the scenic beauty spots that
otos,: visitors to Scotland make a
paint of seeing during their visit.
At the left is a view of some of
the cottages of the Highland
clachan at the Exhibition and at
the top are artists' conceptions of
two pavilions, the West African;
Colonies at the left and the Palade
of Engineering at the right.
