Hearten Wanderers
Hundreds of huts stand ready
in the whole region of the Alps
to receive the wanderer and the
mountaineer, Some are large and
sturdy, perched defiantly on sad -
dies and . ridges; others, like
eagle's eyries, destined only to
be used as emergency shelters,
their lay -out and fittings limited
to the bare necessities. But in
both a sense of safety may be felt
more keenly than under any roof
in town or countryside, Anyone
who has ever made his way up
steep ascents towards such a hut,
his back bowed under the weight
of a heavy rucksack, in the broil-
ing sun, perspiring and with
parched throat, knows what it is
to step with a sigh of relief into
the shade of the hut.
The sense of security is felt to
the full only on a stormy night,
for instance when we have been
overtaken by a sudden thunder-
storm, when pitch darkness hides
from view the ragged, tousle -
headed clouds that only a mom-
ent before were all ablaze, and
when the last pale gleam 'of the
sunset -glow has suddenly van-
ished from the highest summits,
Now a new aspect of ,the moun-
tain i- rovealec, tv, i e grope our
way along the narrow track,
which is ,seen only far short in-
stances in the brilliant flashes
of lightning. How easy it is then
for the feeling that one is utterly
lost to creep into the heart, fill-
ing it with strange forebodings,
while the thunder rumbles
around and among the rocky
ridges, , , ,
And when at last, high up, a
faint, dim, flickering light is
seen, cast by a wind -lantern hung
outside. the window by the soli-
citous hut -keeper to guide be-
nighted travellers, one breathes a
sigh of relief. How much com-
fort, courage and confidence is
abroad by this tiny gleam of
light! As soon as the door is shut
behind us we feel safe again.
However wildly the storm may
rage outside, however much the
mountain -side may tremble at
the thunder -claps, here is refuge,
shelter and warmth. — From
"The Haunted Realm"—By Paul
Eggeasberg, in the book "Across
the Alps."
Stole A Bicycle
From Scotland Yard:
Arriving home from a party
in the early hours of the morn-
ing recently, a householder had
the shock of his life, During his
absence a daring thief had re-
moved the whole of the back
porch of his luxury house, brick
by brick, and driven off in a
truck with the loot.
That happened in. California
but examples of crooks' audacity
are being reported from all over
the world. One strolled into a
London police station, made his
way to a room set apart for
detectives attached to the divi-
sion, and walked off with a
couple of new overcoats.
Another thief once sneaked
Into Scotland Yard by a back
door and rode out a few moments
later through the main gate on
a police superintendent's bicycle
and got clear away.
Even snore daring was a crook
who, knowing that the titled wo-
man owner was away, entered
her Thames -side flat and took
up residence there for several
days, eating her food and sleep -
big in her bed.
He was so pleasant and lis -
'creed that the other tenants took
Ids right for granted.
On her return the owner
found that the man had taken
only a few books, . including
poetry, and the pick of her wine
lellar. He was never caught.
The porter of a block of Paris
flats was called to the sixth
floor to do some work and left
a notice pinned to her door: "The
porter is upstairs."
When she returned she found
the notice reversed and this
written on the back: "Thanks for
the tip. Much obliged. All has
gone off well."
It had,. too. Goods worth $2500
had vanished from three flats
whose owners were out shop-
ping.
Similar cheek was displayed
by an enterprising Colorado
crook. He looked through a
window, noticed that a woman
who had been watching tele-
vision had dozed off in her arm-
chair, forced an entrance and
stole the TV set while she still
slept.

Folks Are Thirsty
In Tennessee
Of Tennessee's 95 counties,
from the haze -cloaked peaks of
the Smokies westward to the
misty bottoms along the Missis-
s:poi, there are only nine where
a customer can legally buy le-
gally manufactured liquor. And
Knox County, where sprawls
Knoxville, the state's fourth
largest city (population 111,127),
is not one of the nine. But Knox-
ville rarely thirsts.
The clubs and loge halls and
veterans' posts keep well -stock-
ed bars. Convenient neighbor-
hood bootleggers, some of them
with curb service, sell famous -
name whisky at about $6.50 a
fifth. Play -at-home citizens have
always been able to telephone
obliging bootleggers who would
deliver direct to the door.
Knoxville, indeed, has repeat-
edly voted down the local op-
tion of going wet.
Last month, though, Knoxville
was as dry as a 10 -to -1 Mar-
tini. Except for beer, sold legal-
ly throughout Tennessee, the city
was a desert of parched party-
goers and cowed bootleggers,
who stashed their stocks across
the county line and dealt stealth-
ily with only their most trusted
clients. Bulky Sheriff Herman
Wayland, the man who closed
up Knoxville, predicted that be-
fore he was finished the price
of whisky in Knox County would
rocket to $15 a fifth.
Wayland, a -Democrat who took
office last Sept. 1. gat his Ten-
nessee dander up a few weeks
ago at Republican charges that
he was putting old-line bootleg-
gers out of business and install-
ing his own syndicate, Wayland
went raging to a fellow Demo-
crat, Gov. Buford Ellington, and
got a promisee of help for his 27
deputies from state troopers and
state alcohol tax unit agents.
Then he struck.
Raiders carrying brand-new
sledge hammers dashed into the
posh Cherokee County Club,
startling the ladies at their regu-
lar Wednesday afternoon bridge.
They found other lady members
watching a fashion show at Hol-
ston Hills Country Club In all,
they hit three city and six coun-
ty clubs, seized 260 gallons of
liquor, arrested nine club offi-
cials, and for good measure seiz-
ed 52 (of the county's Federally
licensed 102) slot machines.
After that first big day, Way-
land turned his attention to boot-
leggersat the end of last month
had raided scores, arrested some
50 persons. He let it be known,.
what's more, that undercover
operatives are keeping an eye
on clubs and bootleggers. The
sheriff's vigilance was paying off,
as one Knox County bootlegger
attested:
"I wouldn't sell a drop of
whisky to my thirsty grandma."
Something had to give eventu-
ally, of course, and now it just
might be the voters of Knox
County. The State Legislature is
considering two bills that would
maks it easier for the city to
legalize liquor sales. And the
city, having just built a $6 mil-
lion convention hall, is perfectly
well aware that few conventions
can get off the ground on hot
air alone,
As Others See Us Dept—A
columnist says in Punch maga-
zine: I enjoyed receiving from
New York a letter whose stamp
portrayed the Statue of Liberty
beneath the proud slogan "Liber-

How Can i?
By Roberta Lee
Q. How can I fill cracks in
furniture?
A. By using beeswax; it should,
of course, be melted to the re-
quired consistency.
Q. How can I clean dust from
a black straw hat?
A. Instead of using a brush,
rub the hat well with a piece
of black velvet. The velvet re-
moves the dust more completely
than brushing.
Q. How can I remedy casters
that persist in falling out of a
piece Of furniture every time it
is lifted or moved?
A, Remove the offending cas-
ter and hacksaw a slot about i -
inch deep in the end of the cas-
ter post. Then wedge this slot
slightly apart, and drive it back
into the furniture leg. It'll fit
much more tightly.
