He begged me to stay, saying that seeing me every day was the one thing that makes his life bearable. (He has never said a word against his wife, for which I admire him.) We both want to do the right thing. But my close contact with him, always sup- pressing in y' emotions, have " brought only frustration and bit- terness.

D.Cleaelbt An unsual visitor has been coming to our kitchen window quite persistently for the last few days. It was raining and a cold wind blowing the first time I saw the barely persistible flutter of tiny wings. I just couldn't believe my eyes for what would entice a humming bird out in such awful weather? Time and time again it came back to the window. Had it been ° possible. I would have let it in as I thought 'perhaps it was looking for shelter. But what would I have done with a hum ming bird in the house? So I worked on another idea. I mixed up some brown sugar and wa- ter in a little fiat dish and put it on the outside of the kitchen window -sill, Whether this most - fascinating of little birds has partaken of my homemade nec- tar I don't know, but at least it still flutters around the • win several . tmaes a,. dal .4tiite4thei d of the house we have a chest- nut tree in bloom so probably that is what attracted our little bird.Some birds have black marks against their characters for' such things as eating small fruits, grain and garden seeds. The lit- tle hummer is one bird that does only good. As we all know it loves to suck nectar from sweet - scented flowers but it also likes to feed on small flies, gnats, .undersized bees and wasps and. other insects that hover in and around the flower beds that big- ger birds might not bother with at all. You know, some people say you can't hope to have birds around the house if you keep cats. I have said it before and I say it again - that just isn't so. At least, not on a farm. You couldn't have better hunters than our Mitchie-White and Black Joe. They spend half their time in the fields watching for mice and young rabbits, and in winter time they hunt mice and pigeons in the barn - rats, too, if there are any - but they never bother the birds in the garden, not even the starlings and robins. The other day Mitchie was sitting on the front step; from the other side of the door I watched to see what he would do as I knew there were fledglings in and around the shrubbery trying their wings. Inside of ten minutes I saw sev- eral little canaries, two wee chickadees, a perky little wren, one robin - and of course a scattering of sparrows and star- lings, all hopping and scratch- ing around on the grass, but Mitcbie never even bothered to look at them. Presently he jumped off the step stalked ac- ross the backyard and on to- wards the hayfield. Oh dear - I'm slipping! Mr. X. has been at it again and I forgot to mention it. Yes, an- other mysterious parcel arrived containing two- pretty little fruit juice glasses decorated with a band of gold in a grape design, One glass had "Dee" etched on it, the other "Art" - and tobac- co was stuffed inside the glasses as protective packing material 1 unpacked this latest anony- mous gift, put the glasses away 'but I didn't get a chance to do much with tobacco - not with Partner around!

But not everyone seeing a Hollywood melodrama laid in present-day Berlin realizes that he is not seeing an accurate pic- ture of that extraordinarily Vivid and significant city, where the West challenges the East in daily, intimate contact. The point is worth making be- cause of its implications ` No one expects melodrama to stick too closely to facts, but in a cold war that could explode into world-wide devastation even melodrama owes a certain re- spect to truth, conscience and re- sponsibility. Some time ago a Hollywood film was shot in Berlin for the "sake of authenticity." It has since then been shown in the United States; but when Berlin audiences recently saw it they greeted it with sardonic laughter. It was not merely that the pic- ture was full of small inaccur- acies and distorted the relations between the East and West sec- tors of the city. It went so far as to indicate that the kidnaping of GIs from the western sectors is a common occurrence. Now everyone knows that the Communists are ruthless and can cold-bloodedly use any weapon that suits their purpose. A few highly publicized kidnap- ings of German and East Euro- pean anti-Communists from West Berlin have occurred, and per- haps others which have not re- ceived publicity. And Americans, including GIs, who have got into trouble in the East sector or zone have been held by the authorities for varying lengths of time. There is material for a scox'e. of melodramas in the actualities of what is inherently a melodramatic situation. Dull Evening The murder trial was nearing its climax. On the witness stand was a beautiful blonde. The pro- secuting attorney glared at her. "I'll repeat my question," he thundered. "Where were you on the night of October 13th?" The witness hung her head. "Oh, please don't ask me that," she murmured. "I can't tell you." The prosecutor stiffened. "You must tell us," he roared. "Stop stalling. Where were you on the night of October 13th?" The beautiful damsel blushed. "All right," she assented finally. "If you must know, 1'11tell you, I was at home, working out a crossword puzzle." The prosecutor's e y es almost Pepped from his head. "Is that, • anything to be ashamed of?" The blonde hung her head still lower. "Certainly it is," she Ole - ,bed. "A beautiful girl like tee, wasting ,a night on a crossword puzzle." But the fact remains that the Communists are not kidnaping GIs from West Berlin, and to suggest, with a great air of authenticity, that they are, is to be guilty of the salve sort of dis- honesty that the West resents in anti-American Soviet plays and films. If a Hollywood producer can go to all the trouble of hav- ing a film shot in Berlin in order to catch the heartbeat of the cold war, he can surely take the trouble not to heat up that war for his own private purposes. -From the Christian Science, Monitor, Have you noticed that many right-handed . girls tend to be- come left-handed after getting engaged? When glue is w5l'illdcl, it changes its form gr'otluolly from, the solid to the liquid :.+tate It. does net change with the speer Of ice melting into wator. Sub- stances that melt gradually are called viscous substances, an- other way of saying that their molecules tend to stay together. Molasses is another viscous sub- stance. You know the expres- sion "He is as slow as molasses in January," This refers to the fact that in cold weather mo- lasses runs out of a jug very slowly. Its molecules tend to stay together. The force that holds molecules of a substance together is called. cohesion. Glue has another force, that of adhesion, by which its molecules will stick to, or adhere to, molecules of other substances, such as wood, and cloth and paper. Now let us see what happens when two pieces of wood are glued together. We smear both pieces with half -melted glue and press them together. The glue is forced into the hollow air spaces of the wood, against the walls of the cell cavities. When the glue, cools and hardens, it is firmly anchored in each piece of wood. The structure is held together by adhesion of glue to wood and cohesion of glue to glue. Both forces are necessary for the pieces to hold together; but ad- hesion is the stronger force here. Therefore, a thin layer of glue will hold things together more firmly than a thick layer will.
