'Dear Anne Hirst: My whole
:life seems badly tangled. For
44 years I've been sgcretary to
t Sine Yrian, a respected citizen in
this small community. He is
married to a neurotic wife who
is 111 most of the time.
"Over three years ago he told .
line he had grown to love me. I
was surprised and a little shock-
ed, but later on I found I loved
him, too.
"My first thought was to leave.
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.
"I mingle with other people,
am active in my church, I bowl
regularly, and occasionally date
other men, trying to become in-
terested in them. After three
years, I've been unable to. One

young man I've known for years
loves me and wants to marry me,
but I have no feeling for him at
all.
"Why is it that I go hopeless-
ly on, loving a man I cannot
have, and feel only friendliness
toward another who offers me se-
curity and a home of my own?
There are times when I think I
cannot go on! I have prayed for
a solution, and I hope that your
advice will bring the answer.

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

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-

ignition and went the rest of the
way hoping for the best and

other side would stop the ear
anyway. Which it did, so we are
still alive to tell the tale. In-

Melodrama In How Gitte
Berlin
Everyone knows that a Holly-
wood "western" is not to be
taken as a strict representation
of life in either the old or new
West. 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.

Molasses is another viscous sub-

in January," This refers to the
fact that in cold weather mo-

The force that holds molecules

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.
