Fair Love
By
LOUIS CUNNINGHAM
"Gl 1' reporters are the bunk,"
expert, in the news -room of the
growled Harriman, the crime
Cornet. The pulsing presses that
shook the building getting out the
last edition brought the toilers
under the eye -shades a pleasurable
sense of rest after hard work well
done. It was the acceptable time
for airing theories and grievances.
"As 1 was saying," continued
Harriman, "women in journalism
and men in dressmaking are one
and the same. Now if Brickley,
ordinarily a half -intelligent city
editor, bad shown any sense, we
wouldn't be having this Alicia Del-
ano around, making this newsroom
a place where you can't swear and
"Crab!" interrupted Dale Harms-
worth, a fresh young reporter. Dale
had known Harriman long enough
to be in proper awe of the great
man.
But Dale had known Alicia Delano
long enough to be in love with her.
Further discussion of Alicia was
postponed by the turbulent entry of
the city editor, Brickley. His de-
risive eye swept the crowd. "'Well,
my merry nlbrons," he jeered, "Ex-
tend your cobwebbed ears to this:
The Prince Bartholdi, a wealthy
Roman, has arrived in this city of
sin. He is seeking leis• daughter, a
runaway princess. Seems the lady
objected to her father's idea, of a
husband. The old boy offers the
modest sum of fifty thousand to the
one who .finds his little Mariana.
We're going to get her for the
greater glory of the Comet. It's a
general alarm. Here's a picture of
the renegade,'•'' -
"What do you think of it, Alicia?"
asked Dale„ discovering his lovely
• neighbor and 'quickly telling her
what it was all about.
"Fifty thousand dollars!" he'sigh-
'' ed: "Just imagine, Alicia, what one
could do with that. • 'Why ...
Late'`, when he had her alone in
the secluded corner of their favorite
restaurant, he took a deep breath.
"I'm going after that money," he
declared determinedly. "I need it,
and if . . if I get it . . . Alicia,
' darling, ,have I ever told you that I
love yoti? If I get. the money will
you . marry me?"
The girl • sMiled and raised her
head. There was something .in
the lovely mouth, framed by her
reddish hair, that made the palm
"I love you, Dale," said Alicia,
solemnly. ,,,
.tree behind her dance a madrigal
before Dale's dreaming eyes.
"1 love you, Dale," said Alicia'
solemnly. "I will marry you.'•'
Then she twinkled. "Let's do it
right away."
Dale and Alicia were married
that week and their radiant young
faces in the newsroom advertised
their happiness. The - Marriage,
however, they kept secret, although
they managed to find .a small
apartment, td be furnished With
their joint savings. But how to' keep
it was a puzzle, unless Dale dis-
covered the princess.
"It seems a hopeless task,
Alicia," lamented Dale. "Every-
body's giving up, Tltis Pvincess
Mariana is the hest little hider
imagineable." .
She 'pulled his ear teasingly.
"Don't worry. Things will look
different in the morning."
Alicia was a prophetess. Dale
awoke to find a strange' girl sitting
at the foot of the bed. The morning
sunlight was no more golden than
her hair. tier• eyes danced• wltb
mischief,
"What . ...what ... .Alicia?"
"I told you things would be dif-
ferent in the morning. But' it is
still Alicia . . minus thel hair dye

Bartholdi , . Mrs. Dale Harms-
worth. My mother was an Atter-
lean. So I don't mind if you tell
on me now, Dale, but be sure and
get the motley from dad before
you mention that I'm your wife.
We need it for our honeymoon."

Several of the "liig circulation"
magazines have been publishing
frightening articles about how, be-
fore many years have passed, the
world will be faced with starvation.
World population is• increasing so
rapidly, and productive soil being
lost — through erosion and other
causes — at such a rate, that there
simply won't be enough food to go
around. No doubt you've seen some
of t. -is stuff and — like myself —
thought that .the writers must know
what -they were talking about,
* * .
(Not that I personally worried
enough to lose any sleep. I'm not
like the jittery old lady who went
to a lecture by a famous scientist
and, right in the middle of it, stood
up and interrupted the speaker. "Oh,
professor," she said, "how long did
you say it would be before the world,
becomes so cold that nothing will
be able to live on it?" "Ocie BIL-
LION years," was the reply. "Oh,
.thank goodness," said the lady. "I
was so terribly worried—I thought
you said a MILLION!) '
• * 3:
But anyway it's nice, for a change,
to find a man who thinks that these
"starvation soon" prophets are all
•. et. His opinion should be worth
while:. too; as he's Dr. Charles E.
Kellogg, chief of the Soil Survey
Division of the U.S.. Dept. of Agri-
culture, and has studied the soils of
the world at first hand, and at the
request of many foreign govern-
ments. Perhaps you'll be interested
in some of the things Dr. Kellogg
has to -say—so here goes.
* M:
"It .has become popular to say that
the people of the world cannot feed
themselves," he writes, "that our
resources are diminishing while our
population mushrooms. Tbat the
only cure is mass birth control
among the people of India, China
and other overcrowded lands. That
"because some people have always
been hungry, some people are for-
ever doomed to be hungry. , I'
DON'T. BELIEVE IT."
-t'Considering new • technology I
am confident food could be pro-
duced for TWICE the world's pre-
sent population. —In the past few
years I have had the chance to study
agriculture and its problems, in
many Tarts of tette world—in our
familiar temperate regions, in 'the
far north, and in the tropics. I am
convinced that we have the soil and
the knowledge to raise more than
enough food. for the world."
$i • * 0 ...
"Of greatest importance are. the
large areas of tropical soils. Great
areas in Africa and South America,
and lesser areas in Central America
and in several of the tropical islands
like New Guinea, Madagascar and
Borneo—are scarcely ',used at all.
If we could count on about Z0 per
per ,cent of these areas we should
add atoned a billion acres. 13y .using
the new land we should nearly
double prewar supplies of cereals
and milk. We would more than
double roots and tubers, sugar, fats
and oils, fruits and vegetables."
* 0
"But do we need all these new
acres to meet the goals? During the
early part of the war estimates were
made of what increased production
it would be practical for the
\mericn farmer to make. In the
I Taped States crop production in-
creased about 22 per cent in the per-
iod 1943.47 over 1935-39, Even ef-
ficiency in live stock production
went up 8 per cent per anit`tlal• unit.
Farm output per worker increased
40 pet cent. The world could --on
the PRESENT farmland increase
sugar by 15 per rent, fruit and vege-
tables by 35 per cent, roots and tub-
ers by 50 per cent and other items
by 20 per cent. THIS WOULD
BE EXTRA PRODUCTION
FROM LAND WE'RE AL-
READY CULTIVATING."
* * *
"Modern science will change the
tropics as a place to live. Many of
the diseases are being brought under
control. Modern medical facilities,
drainage systeinseand air conditio--
ing, which will come along with
good farms and factories, will
change living conditions complete -
I have no space to quote Dr.
Kellogg's fine article at greater
length; but in summing the matter
up he says, "If we really WANT to
feed the world these selsen steps
should be taken at once. '
1. Increas: fertilizer prodifation,
especially in regions of famine such
as India.
2. I4lake wider distribution of
seeds and plants of improved,
higher -yielding varieties of crops.
3. Expand irrigation' on soils
which are suited for it.
4. Develop hydro -electric power
sources, especially in the tropics,
where lack of power is now the
limiting factor in food production.
5. Control diseases and insects.
Even though such controls are
knoh}n,•they are not applied in large
areas of the world.
6. Distribute farm machinery
where it is badly needed.
7. Educate foreign farmers with
simple, easy -to -understand pam-
phlets. Progress depends on how
much the actual man on the land
knows about his job.
Keep Garbage
Out of Furnace
Burning of garbage in the home
furnace will tend to damage the
grates. Although a common prac-
tice in many homes, the use of
the furnace or heating boiler as
an incinerator will shorten the life
of the heating equipment. Acids
from the food will drip onto the
grates. Under the intense heat of
the fire the corroding action of these
acids is increased, soon pitting and
damaging the metal parts.
Even the upper parts of the fire
box, and flue pipes may be corroded
by the acid vapors, it is pointed
out. Not only is the efficiency of
the furnace impaired, but possible
leaks cf coal gas may result,
