TINY HEATER IS HOT ITEM - The Fiesta drive-in restaurant, is the first such place located in the cold zone of the U.S, to be equipped to operate on a year-round basis. Secret is those "boxes" extending over the restaurant's 50 drive-in bay's. Inside each is a new heater that can 'warm up both patrons and carhops who attend them. This is by means of tiles only 11/2 by 2 inches in size. They,. are porus, and by an infrared process each can throw upwards of 1600 degrees of heat against an object without heating the air between. A German invention, it has been used throughout Europe for such pur- poses as cooking, heating factories and melting ice. KLLER HITC She was obviously pretty— much too pretty, some might think, to be alone on the first- class deck as the cross -Channel steamer ploughed through the choppy sea from Newhaven to Dieppe on that boisterous spring day. And suddenly, although she loved the sea, she began to feel unwell. She staggered a little. A moment later a young man, a stranger, appeared on deck and proffered h e r some brandy. Gratefully, she swallowed some. She was feeling too ill to note the young man's face. And as she herself was "muffled up" against the wind, he Could catch no more than a glimpse of hers. He did not return to claim his flask and she was obliged• to keep it. Often, afterwards, she wondered about the identity of the gallant stranger. Four years passed. She was introduced to a handsome young London business man. They fell in love and married. Their honeymoon journey took them across the Channel. Being a poor sailor still, the young wife soon began to feel the motion of the boat. Her husband offered to go and procure some brandy, but she said faintly: "Open my dressing - case, darling, you'll find a flask it there." Quickly he did so—and then exclaimed in amazement: "Why, this is my flask. I gave it to a girl on the Channel crossing some years ago, and I forgot to collect it." An almost incredible coinci- dence—but it happens to be tale. For the Iong arm of coinci- dence is as long' to -day as ever it was. It reaches across time and space in an amazing way. For instance, when two cars collided a few weeks ago, the drivers introduced themselves. Each was named Cyril White. Each lived in Yorkshire, but sixty miles apart, Said a Iocal police official when the coincidence came to his notice: "It was a chance in a million that two men with the same name should meet for the first time in such a manner."

After his return from holiday he was serving behind the coun- ter of his employer's jewellery shop in the city when a shifty - eyed man entered and offered to sell a bracelet—the very one that had been stolen. The un- lucky thief was handed over to the police. On a windy March day during the first world war a Highgate, London, man sat with a number of other men outside a dug -out on the dockside at Dunkirk. Sud- denly a piece of paper fell at his feet. Tt .was one of hundreds of apieces that were floating about in the air, and came from a ship which was unloading a consign- ment of waste paper. Glancing at the paper, the man was astonished to see his own name written on it. It was part of a memorandum sent by his father, a railway inspector, to his head office. That fugitive scrap of paper, part of a Government purchase from the railway companies, had come from London. "That it should fall at my feet, although there were hundreds of us there, was simply amazing," declared the man, when relating the coincidence. One of the most remarkable birth coincidences on record concerns the family of Mrs. White, a Fareham (Hants) wo- man. She became the proud mother of six children, all of whom celebrate their birthday anni- versary on the same day. A daughter was born on July 27th, 1886, triplets were horn on July 27th, 1901, and twins were born on July 27th, 1902. What is equally amazing is that all were born between four and five o'clock in the morning. Before leaving London on a business trip to the United States, Mr. V. Saville made ex- haustive but unsuccessful in- quiries as to the wherebouts there of a relative whom he had not seen for years. Fresh business called him from New York to Los Angeles. Some hours after the train had left New York, he entered the crowded dining -car and took the only vacant seat—opposite the very relative all his inquiries had failed to trace. "The odds were tremendous against such a meeting in the middle of the American contin- ent," Mr. Saville commented afterwards. Lord Rotherham told. in 1945 the story of how, when he was visiting Japan with a cousin, they each bought a cigarette rase on which they had their initials engraved. "Sixteen years later, while walking on the grass beside a moorland rc>, in Derbyshire, I kicked a piece of metal," said Lord Rotherham. "It turned out to be the case my cousin had bought all those years before. t Drive ' ith (ar "My cousin, who lived twenty miles from the spot where the cigarette case was found, had motored over the road three weeks previously and the case must have dropped out of his car." An American now serving a seven years' jail sentence for the manslaughter of his wife's lover ran from his home on the fatal day scarcely realizing what he had done; He wandered about aimlessly, his mind bemused, He staggered as he crossed a road and was nearly run clown by a passing car. The driver, seeing he was near collapse, helped him stop a passing ambu- lance. The American got into it. Then he recoiled as he saw the other "passenger," It was the man he had killed a quarter of an hour before. Yet another tragic coincidence was revealed in France. A young man became so ad- dicted to wine and women that his father, a rich Lyons business man, turned him out of his house and disinherited him. The son committed a series of robberies with violence during the next four years. Then the father retired from business and made his home at Charenton on the outskirts of Paris. One misty night the old man was walking along the banks of the Seine, thinking bitterly of the past and wondering what had happened to his dissolute son, when he was suddenly at- tacked from behind. He put up a fight and was stabbed by his attacker who be- gan to search the dying man for money and other valuables. As he bent over him, the father recognized his son. "Oh! Pierre!" he gasped—and died. The son walked to the nearest gendarme and gave himself up. His confession showed beyond doubt that he had been unaware of his victim's identity when he waylaid him, nor did he know his father had come to live in the Paris area. The earliest use of wool as textile is not known, however, people of Babylon had already mastered the arts of spinning and weaving wool cloth in 300 B.C.

Around her, :;its grated piles of coconut, hile trembling old men peeled and chopped shallots and e e, chills and aromatic rooih "d ground them to a paste. With a severe and critic a.:eir she smelt or tasted the eaudes and hashes, adding palm-v.:gar, fish -paste, verbena or whate"er seemed needed to give that final flavor. With a wide and nebie gesture she refused badly are - pared coconut -milk or a scraw- ny chicken. Withnoisy indig- nation she condemned a diuck- egg that was found to be `not quite fresh. And when at last the dishes were finally prepared she would invite me, as sat there looking on, to taste and comment Was there enr.ugh Set? she would ask earnestly. Was it sharp enough? Perhaps a little more ginger, or a sQuaeze more of lime juice. Her dishes were endless: fish baked in banana leaves; anteater stewed and served in a bamboo tube; lobster in a sauce of co- conut -cream; sea turtle in a sauce of crushed peanuts: skew- ers of birds no larger than bumblebees (could they be hummingbirds? I wondered as I took three at one bite) This repast, a strange blend of Arabian Nights and Midsummer Night's Dream, would appear after a morning of legong prac- tice. For two hours Gusti Bagus rehearsed the children to the point of exhaustion. He sat on the floor, his drum in his lap, his gaze fixed on the dancers. Sud- denly he would jump up to cor- rect a position, straigten a shoulder or turn a head a little more to the side. Once mere he took up the drum. When at last the lesson 'earn.e to an end, the children disap- peared (often to return ie. the late afternoon for another two hours), while we retired to an- other pavilion for lunch. Arcund us the courtyard glared in the fierce light of the sun, now directly overhead. Languor de- scended; voices spoke softly. There was that strange noonday quiet, that moment of utter timelessness, when all life seems suspended. Now, after we had eaten, I would walk through the park to the pavilion on the pond, which was 'given to me each time I came. Surrounded by water in this forgotten park, in this far island of friendly and mysteri- ous people — this seemed the final exquisite isolation. In the stillness two turtledoves called and answered monotonously. I read until I fell asleep. — From "A House in Bali" by CC'LIN McPHEE.
