g' &am Ancitiews.
Two schools of thought arise
la any discussion about the best
bind of chicken salad, One
school bolds firmly to the idea
that the less that is added to
the chicken, the better the sal-
ad will be,
The second school declares
that adding other ingredients
brings out the fine flavor of the
thicken. This group believes the
salad is improved by .adding
' small white seedless' grapes,
bard -cooked eggs, nuts, peas,
pineapple, tomatoes, cucumbers;
macaroni, rice, green peppers,
avocado, pickle, or spices. This
is a question you must deciede
for yourself when you serve

Every week millions of hope-
fuls dream of collecting thou-
sands of dollars in pools, sweep-
stakes and things of _that sort.
Crazy? Not at all — for many
succeed, But some crazy things
have been done by folk out to
win "easy money."
In the United States last year
a number 'of people were bet
that they could not rock con-
tinuously in a rocking -chair for
one hour. Some were still awake
after an hour of this monoto-
nous effort, so the offer was in-
creased to one dollar per hour
of rocking.
DId any manage to last an-
other hour? They certainly did!
After sixty-nine hours'two con-
testants were still going back
and forth. One collapsed soon
afterwards, but Mrs. Hazel
Wheeler, aged seventy, teetered
on for a total of seventy-two
hours, thirteen minutes.
Another dollar per hour chal-
lenge was made to a woman in
New Hampshire. She won $106
by listening to gramophone re-
cords for 106Jhours before she
was taken home delirious.
An impossible sounding feat
was. achieved for a bet by an-
other American. He had never
played golf but he wagered that
he could drive a ball a quarter
of a mile, on the level, at his
first or second attempt.
Even good players rarely
drive more than half that dis-
tance, but this man won his bet.
He made his drive on the ice of
a frozen lake! ,

A LITERARY FRONTIEIISMAN
"I could write you a better
book than that myself," said
James Fenimore Cooper, and
launched a career unique in
literary history, He has been
extravagantly praised -notably
by Goethe, Scott, Balazc, Victor
Hugo, Washington Irving, Walt
Whitman, Joseph Conrad — yet
Mark Twain had more grounds
than usual for his ridicule when
he called Cooper's dialogue
"book -talk," his humor "pathe-
tic," and his pathos "funny"
No man ever looked—or in
his early life, acted—less the
artist than Cooper. Physcially
substantial—"a very castle of a
man," in Irving's phrase—he had
grown up during. the 1790's as
"landed gentry" in Cooperstown,
New York; the land in the case
having been taken by his father
from the Indians. His fault
book, Precaution, was inferior
because the very nature of the
bet with himself was to imitate
• the current English novel in-
stead of. to originate. Neverthe-
less the letters Cooper wrote at
that time to his publisher are
an engaging record of the
growth of an ingenuous amateur
into an author of considerable
self-assurance.
"For the double purpose ' of
you but not an Ounce of cloth-
ing. So make ready, my lord,
and let us not disappoint the
ladies." •
Lord Cholmondeley forfeited
his money.
About the same period, Lord
Eglindon bet £250 he would
have a letter sent fifty miles in
an hour. How was it possible in
those days of horse transport?
Eglindon had the letter stuffed
into the case of a cricket ball.
Twenty players stood in a wide
circle and threw it from hand

and stay there. He did so by
somersaulting in the air and
landing in a sitting position.
With' the large sum of money
he won he started a racing sta-
ble and one of his jumpers won
the Grand National.
Late in the eighteenth century
a little man named Sir John
Lade, coaching instructor to the
Prince of Wales, bet the gigantic

has given way to aggressive pa-

in my own taste as in that of

In October this mood was as
surely followed by the pretend-

whose book is about to appear:

great writer indeed—for no
book was ever written with less
' thought and more rapidity—I
can make a much better one—
am making a much better one—
I send this out as a pilot bal-
loon, . "
Scarcely waiting to see
whether his pilot balloon would
indeed stay aloft, Cooper devot-
ed himself to becoming an ag-
gressively American originator.
The Spy, The Pilot, The Pi-
oneers—all were the first of
their kind.

In 1826 Cooper took his fam-
ily to Europe for a stay of seven
years. His fame had preceded
him, and he was, in a mild way,
lionized. Having early discov-
ered that in London the servants
made a practice of taking his
hat from the drawing -room dur-
ing dinner and' secreting it,
Cooper hid his under the sofa
and was nonplused to discover
the Bishop of London sitting di-
rectly above it with his skirts
spread "Mr. Sotheby observing
, that I was aiming at something
there, kindly inquired what I
wanted, I told him I was pray-
ing for the translation of the
Bishop of London, that I might
get my hat, and marvellous as
it may seem, he has already
been made Archbishop of Can-
terbury!"
At this very dinner, Cooper
met Scott, Lockhart, and Cole-
ridge. The ladies having retired,
the conversation turned on
Homer, Coleridge was moved to
a peroration. "Scarcely anyone
spoke . . , and I might sav no
one could speak" besides Cole-
ridge, for over an hour. Scott
sat immovable, "evidently con-
sidering the whole as an exhi-
bitjon rather than as an argu-
ment; though he occasionally
muttered, 'eloquent!' 'wonder-
ful!' 'very extraordinary!' Mr.
Lockhaft caught my eye once,
and he gave a very hearty laugh
without making the slightest
noise, as if he enjoyed my
astonishment."
Meanwhile Scott and Cooper
were Rfzing each other up with
perhaps more than ordinary in-
terest, since Cooper was widely
known as "the American Scott."
-'Both had reservations, _Wrote
• Cooper: "The manner of _ :Sir"
Walter Scott, is that of a' man
accustomed to see much of • the -
world without being exactly a
man of the world himself. He
has evidently great social tact,
perfect self-possession, is quiet,
and absolutely without preten-
sion, and has much dignity; and
yet it struck me'that he wanted
the ease and aplomb of one ac-
customed to live with his
equals,"
This' opinion was comple-
mented by Scott's: "Visited .. .
Cooper, the American novelist.
This man who has shown so
much genius, has a good deal the
manner, or want of manner,
peculiar to his countrymen."
The paradox of the matter
was that Cooper, by background
nearly the most absolute aristo-
crat that America could pro-
duce, was very much the con-
scious democrat, and ' never
more soothan when in Europe.
He was most proud of his warm
friendship with Lafayette; and
his Notions of the Americans,
and a - number of historical
novels, set in Renaissance Eu-
rope and long since unread, all
expounded democratic prin-
ciples
•t • •
Unfortunately, all the time
Cooper' was in Europe, he and
his native land had been grow-
ing steadily apart; and the dis-
covery, on returning home, that
his property rights in Coopers-
town had been ,infringed by the
townspeople prompted a series
of libel suits and ill-tempered
navels which soured his later
reputation.
To most people, however,
Cooper is simply and forever
the author of the Leatherstock-
ing Tales. This sequence of five
books, with Natty Bumppo, al-
ternately called LeatherstockIng
and Deerslayer, as their hero,
was an immediate global suc-
cess: in 1852 the historian Fran-
cis Parkman remarked, "We are-
told—but hardly know how to
believe it—that they (Cooper's
novels) may be had duly ren-
dered into Persian at the
bazaars of Ispahan."
Despite changes in literary
fashion, despite colossal defects,
the books are still inescapably
to be reckoned with in Amer-
ican life and literature. And on
all levels: school copies are
worn with much reading, lin

Parkman's review in the North
American Review for January,
• 1852. Parkman first disposes of
Cooper's" most' 'un -Indian • la -
diens:. "Jointly with = Thomas
Campbell, Cooper is. responsible
for the fathering of those ob-
original heroes, lovers, and
sages, who have long formed a
petty nuisance in our literature,"
He then tackles the difficul-
ties of the genteel heroine in
romantic wilderness literature:
"t seems to us a defect in a
novel or a poem, when the
heroine is compelled . to
sleep out at night in the . woods,
drenched by rain . , , and
scratched' by briars—to forgo
the appliances of the toilet, and
above all, to lodge in an Indian
wigwam, , . We read Long-,
fellow's Evangeline with' " much
sympathy in the fortunes of "the
errant heroine. ... When, how-
ever, we had followed her for
about two thousand miles on her'
forest pilgrimage, and reflected
on the figure she must" have
made, so tattered and bepatch-
ed, bedrenched and bedraggled;.
we could not but esteem it' a
happy circumstance that she
failed, as she did, to meet her
lover; , , . With 'Cooper's her-
oines, Cora and Alice, the case
is not so hard. Yet, as it does
not appear that, on a journey
of several weeks, they were per-
mitted to carry so much as a
valise or a carpet bag ....it.is.
certain, that at the Journey's
end, they must have presented
an appearance more adapted, to
call forth a Christian sympathy.
than any emotion of a, more.
romantic nature."
• • •
Nevertheless, Parkman goes
on, "It is easy to find fault with
The Last of the Mohicans: but
it is far from easy to rival or
even approach Cooper's excel-
lences. The book has the gen-
uine game flavor; it exhales the
odours of the pine woods and
the freshness of the mountain
wind... . (These word paint
Ings) are instinct with life, with
the very spirit of the wilder-
ness; they breathe the somber
poetry of solitude and• danger."
And again, "For ourselves —
though we diligently peruse the
dispatches—the battle of Palo
Alto and the storming of Mon-
terey are not more real and
present to our mind than some
of the scenes and characters of
The Pathfinder, thopgh we have
not read It for nine years."
To which generations of read-
ers, adapting the comparison to
their own experience, have
heartily agreed.

POLES APART
A Complete Story by Mak
My name is Enrico, and I have
s little barber's shop on the
front at Alano. Alano is a little
town on the Italian Riviera
where warm blue waters lap
:ontentedly against hot, white
:ands, and green pahns line the
winding promenade. It is only
s little place but very popular
with the English tourists. •The
service is so much cheaper than
,n the bigger resorts.
• My shop overlooks the new -
moon bay -of Alano. It must be
for this view that my robber
of a landlord asks 15,000 lire;
It can't be for hts tiny shop, it
is not worth 5,000, Still the cus-
tom is good during the season;
I am a good barber; and the
(titles' like the view.
I am opening my shop the
ether morning thinking, as I
look at the sun -soaked view, of
the taxes, my exorbitant rent,
the slackness of the season, and
how my wife Rosins keeps nag-
ging me to expand and modern-
ize the shop.
Then, at this early hour, be-
fore I can have my usual cigar-
ette, a customer comes in.
I recognize him from the pre-
vious day, when my cousin Mi-
cale, who is a night waiter at
the 'Splendido, points him out
to me in the street.
He says this is a very rich
man, who tips well, So 1 say,
Buon Glorno, and show him to
the best chair. He asks for a
shave and a facial.
We chat, this Englishman and
I, And as I prepare the shaving
water and lather his face,' he
compliments me on my English,
and talks about the weather
(how these Inglesi enjoy their
weather 1).
He is a square, elderly man
with a black bar moustache, not
as tall as you think at first, and
with tired lines around his eyes,
helping to give his dark fea-
tures a very serious look, very
much the businessman.
He is talkative; like many men
the barber's chair seems to relax
his tongue.
"You know I like your shop,
Enrico," he murmured. "I al-
ways say that you can tell what
rind of a barber a man is from
:he way he keeps his shop. I
was once, a barber myself, all
ny family were. Craftsmen," he
explains proudly.
"You wouldn't think it to look
it me now, no callouses on my
'ingers. But I was, and a first -
:lass one, too. That was a long
time ago though, and a lot of
nater has flowed under the
ridge since then."
He smiles quietly to himself,
I say, Si, and finish lathering
ais face. I think to myself how
much younger he looks when
he smiles, it is like a bright
shaft of sunlight on a dark day,
I stand back a little to observe
his jaw. and then start to shave
him. While I work, he tells me
this story,
"Yes, Enrico, we'd always been
hairdressers, even my mother,
and so when I married, natur-
ally I married a girl In the
business. I did not marry young,
I was thirty-seven, My parts
were both dead, they had left
me a little money, and I knew
that they would have liked me
to have opened a shop of my
own, with the family name over
the door.
"But, you know, Enrico, bar-
bers . are not wealthy men, and
even with my own small savings
it wasn't possible. However,
when I married there was just
enough, with the little my wife
had, for a mortgage on a small
shop in Stepney with a two -
roomed flat above.
"We had to work hard to at-
tract custom, and at first we
only held our own with the esta-
blished shops, But soon we were
doing better business and had a
regular custom. We paid the
mortgage instalments and man-
aged a tiny profit, but we were
both ambitious, particularly my
wife. We wanted to expand a
little, to promote more business.
Ave, my wife, wanted two new
driers for her ladies' department;
we could just about afford them,
but there was a problem. I, had
set my heart on a barber's pole
to hang up outside the shop.
"What I wanted was a hand-
some, flashing neon affair with
coloured stripes, and lettering
that said Ladies' & Gents' Hair -
'dressing, We couldin't afford
both, and in trying to decide
which to have, we almost had
our first quarrel. In the end we
agreed to have them both, only
on hire purchase agreements.
The agreements were signed, the
delivered, and the d r i e r s in-
stalled.
"That pole was superb — eye-
catching 1 — It made the shop
look very professional, a n d
there was nothing like it for
miles around. We were keeping
up with the payments on the
driers, and the pole, settling the
rent, and just about squaring
ourselves, when we had our first
bit of bad luck, Ave fell sick. I
couldn't afford to replace her, I
needed the money for her doc-
tor's bills, and 'so I had to close
the ladies' salon." •
I wipe the last few patches of
lather from his face; his shave is
finished, I fetch the hot towels,
and the dark man is silent, muf-
fled in the steaming cloths. I
take them away and he con-
tinues,

holiday season when business
would beat its best; women like
their hair newly permed for
their holidays and the appoint-
ment book was full. It was '39
and troubles seemed heavier
under the shadow of war.
"I fell behind on some of the
hire purchase payments, parti-
cularly those for the sign. I
didn't care about ,this at first
because Ave was so sick and
I had enough to worry about.
"She started to get better and
things : were beginning to look
up, when two men arrived from
the credit company to take away
our pole. They started to take
it down. I argued, but it was
no use, he could not help, and
the men took away the pole.
"My wife and I were 'simple
people; we were good hair-
dressers, but we did not under-
stand the law. I took the com-
pany, to court over the return
of this sign; and foolishly con-
ducted my own case. I felt it
was only a question of giving
the court the facts, telling them
the truth, and they would un-
derstand the unfairness of it all.
I know now the power and com-
plexity of the law; and I shud-
der when I think how stupidly
I behaved.
"I lost the case, and I had to
pay the costs. The company kept
the pole. When I had finished
paying everything I was bank-
rupt, and still owing for the
mortgage and the driers.
"The bailiffs sat in our shop
like eager locusts. This was the
most miserable tithe of all, As
soon as money was put in the
till, they took it out, every pen-
ny. It was heart -breaking. My
wife was in tears most of the
time. If it hadn't been for my
elder brother who helped us out,
and the tips I concealed, we
would have starved."
He pauses, and reflects. I stop
massaging in spirit and examine
his skin. He is nearly finished.
I start kneading again, and he
carries on.
"For several months we were
both ill with worry and work-
ing too hard in an effort to clear
up our troubles, I was secretly
sure that Ave would be sick
again, One„ evening the sirens
wailed and we dived for the
shelter at the bottom of the road.
They were trying for the docks
and our part of Stepney was
badly hit. After it was all over
we went back, and found the
shop destroyed, everything—all
we had left was what we stood
up in.
"With the shock of all this
happening, my wife was ill, and
things looked black again. I
hadn't a job. But my bachelor
brother once more came to the
rescue; he offered me a job in
the electrical shop he owned.
What could I do but accept. Can
you .imagine, a barber in an
electrical shop!"
He stops. I have finished his
facial, and dry him off, I say
to him, "Signor, I do not under-
stand? This is 'how you make
moncry?"
He smiles, almost sadly.
"Yes, Enrico, he says, "it was.
You see,, while I was staying
with my brother, he had an acci-
dent, a bad fall, he injured his
head and never recovered con-
sciousness, He was a single man,
1 was his only relative and he
left me the shop, I took it over.
"My brother had taught me
the business well, I made steady
progress and watched for my
chance. Just after the war it
came and I took it with both
hands, I bought up all the sur-
plus government equipment and
vehicles I could, took out all the
electrical fittings, radios, and
other saleable parts, and sold the ,
hulks for scrap iron, In eleven
years I made a fortune. And all
because 1 wanted a barber's
pole!"
He pays his bill and leaves.
And after he has left, I stand at
the open doorway, his generous
tip in my hand, and look out at
-the beautiful day as I have done
so many times before. Yet seeing
the view, in the clear light of
the Mediterranean sun, perhaps,
for the first time.
I look at the painted splashes
of hot color, the azure sky, the
INOF
vivid blue sea, the saucy gay-
ness of the Riviera fishing boats,
the flarsh white beach. 1 think
of how I made sometimes too
much of my troubles, the rent,
taxes — after all, there is al-
ways the sun in Alano,
And I decile then, thinking of
the tired,. grey 'Englishman,
wealthy, but recalling his earlier
simpler days — I decide that I
am not going to listen to Rosina
and modernize the shop; You
see, I like being just a• barber
in Alano. I do not fancy myself

Holland Wrests
New Land From Sea
Overpopulated little Holland
is winning another mighty bat-
tle for more land to live and
work in.
Far off its mainland coast, in
the choppy IJsel Meer, a fleet of
hundreds of ships is nearing the
end of a four-year attack upon
nature, From miles off the tug-
boats and barges assault -ship -
like, scurry among the dredges
whose tall superstructures stand
like battleships, thick smoke
trailing across the horizon.
Unceasingly the dredges suck
up the sand from below and
dump it into the barges, the wa-
ter cascading over the sides. Tugs
pull them away a few hundred
yards where the load is dumped.
There the dike is rising in the
water, a long broad bulwark
pushing into the sea at the speed
of 30 feet a minute, rapidly dos-
ing in around what soon will be
the new land.
Sometime in September the
last gaps in the dike will be
closed, the world's most power-
ful pumping stations already
built on artificial islands, will
start pumping out the basin
stretching some 15 miles in dia-
meter.
On the erstwhile sea bottom,
still bearing the grooves of drag-
ging fish nets, a new land of fer-
tile farms, towns, and modern
roads will spring up within a
few years under the experi-
enced hands of the Dutch.
This is Eastern Flevoland,
third of the polders conquered
from the water in a massive plan
which will add to Holland an.'
area nearly the size of Luxem-
bourg.
All the polder land once was
part of the North Sea, known as
the Zuider Zee, It was shut oft
by a 20•mile-long dike and
turned into a huge fresh -water
lake fed by mainland rivers.
Wieringer Meer (50,000 acres),
first of the polders finished, was
swallowed up by water when the
retreating German army blew
holes in the dike in 1945. The
Dutch plugged the dike and
pumped the polder dry within
two months. Farmers began
plowing right away, working
even by night under spotlights.
They did not miss a crop that
year. The five hundred farms
were rebuilt. Today Wieringer
Meer once more is a prosperous
land.
Next came the Northeast Pol-
der, an area of 119,000 acres
which was completely finished a
few years ago,
Now the sea -conquering Heel
is working on Eastern Flevoland
(133,000 acres). Soon the attack
will start on Markerwaard and
Southern Flevoland, the last two
polders of 133,000 and 111,000
acres respectively.
Together the polders will form
the 12th province of the Iietis-
eFlands with a total populati a
of 150,000. Its capital will be
Lelystad, as yet little more than
a colony of workers' huts, a
school, a restaurant and a pump.
ing station on the rapidly
lengthening ‚dike, On the inside
wall of the pumping station, said
to be the most powerful in the
world, artists are painting e
mural depicting the polder strug-

NON-TAXABLE INCOME — Paul Ostrof, nine, wrote a letter is
governor William Stratton enclosing his sales tax payment of
four cents on his gross earnings of $1.20, Paul, explained in hit
letter that he has a profitable monopoly on shining shoes around
the Ostrof household, and figured he owed the state somi
money. Revenue officials ruled Paul's income non-taxable an
returned the four cents.
NOT WHAT IT'S QUACKED UP TO BE — Pretty good at honking, themselves, a clan of ducks
ignores the bleating horn of a motorist, Last year, several pair of wild mallards made their
home in a backwater of Sugar River, just inside the city limits. Residents, amused by the visit
fed and pampered the ducks. This year, no one's amused any more, for the waddlers and off-
spring now number about 100. The quacking•birds threaten to outnumber the native citizenry
and tie up all'traffic in their search along the roads for food.

"Dollars and Sense'
One of the best ways to
encourage good sound sleep
is to have a good sound bank balance. Regular
savings can make life a lot pleasanter in a hundred
and one other ways. You may want the down
payment on a home of your own, a TV set or a car
perhaps the children's education is on your mind
or a leisurely retirement someday. Whatever it is
that you want or need, you have to learn the secret
of putting something by regularly, Pay by pay you
store away the money except in emergencies till
you reach your savings goal—then you start saving
for the next one, Why not open a Savings Account

ANNE .I4NN STvow,
_
"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 18,
and have gone steady with a
young man for two years. We
graduated together, and now he
is working away from home.
Before he left, he said we'd get
married as soon as he could
save money, That was two
months ago; when he was home
last week end, he didn't say
anything about our future, and
his letters give no plans. Mean-
while, I got a job and, by sav-
for food and transportation, I
have a good little sum in the
bank.
"I am puzzled as to whether
to wait for him, or forget him,
I really want to get married
and start our new life together,
Do you think I should tell him
so? He is making good money
and sends • some to his family;
they really don't need it — his
father has a good job.
"I love him so much — and
when we are together, he is as
good as gold!

"Dear Anne Hirst: Over a
year ago, I met a young man
who had been dating another
girl for a long time. He began
seeing me, and now he has ask-
ed me to marry him. I love him
dearly, and said I would.
"But now I discover he has
been calling on the other girl.
again! He doesn't know I know,
"I simply -am heartsick, but
I care enough to want him to
have the girl he prefers, What
do you think?
LOST"
• Tell this young man that
• you are not engaged to him
* any longer, and tell him why,
• A lad who proposes to one
▪ girl and then sneaks off to
date an old flame is not for
* a' nice girl like you. As a
* husband he could not be
* trusted, and as his wife you
* would have to take it. Now
• you don't,
* If he confesses his offense
• and asks you to forgive him,
* put him on strict probation
* for a long while. Treat him
* only as a friend, not a fiance,
" and openly date others, too.
• He may learn his lesson for
• good, but you must protect
* yourself or you will get hurt
* again.
• A man without honor is
• not fit to marry anybody.

The engagement period is a
time of test, ani should be one
of the most beautiful experien-
ces in a girl's life. Be careful
that your fiance is not disap-
• pointed; consider his problems

in love and understanding. Anne

BOY SCOUT HAWK — At Camp Clckagaml, there's a red-tailed
hawk who thinks he's a Boy Scout. His official title is "Mr. Nick
hawk, official merit badge counselor for bird study." And he's
introduced as such at all Boy Scout meetings. Dick Smith, found
Nick about two months ago and brought him to camp, where
200 Scouts now feed, pet and care for the bird. Dick, left, holds

We got our yearly tax bill
last week , . , and it was very
welcome. Welcome on two
counts. One because our entire
taxes on a hundred acres still
amount to Iess than the taxes
on an average six -roomed house
in town. Two, because for the
first time that we know of en-
couragement is given for prompt
payment. One percent discount
on taxes paid within thirty days.
At the end of two months unpaid
taxes will be classified as over-
due and a iwo percent penalty
added. •
Now that is what we con-
sider good business—a little dif-
ferent from soap products carry-
ing a label "10 cents off the
regular price of this packet" --
but omitting to mention the
"regular" price!
Ifonest-to-goodness discount is
a wonderful idea, No one likes
to lose money. Pay one percent
more after a month's time? No-
thing doing—we might as well
have that one percent as the
township. So by hook or by
crook we pay the bill on time
and collect the discount. As for
paying an overdue penalty, that
would be unthinkable. The same
goes with hydro accounts. One
time we got our hydro bill
mixed up with some Christmas
cards and forgot to pay it, Hand-
ing over that extra $2.50 really
hurt. But we hadn't a leg lo
stand on—it was no one's fault
but our own.
Some coal merchants are
adopting the discount plan in
regard to customers' winter sup-
ply of coal and find it works very
well.
It would be wonderful if the
same policy became more gen-
eral in business instead of en-
couragement given to install-
ment buyng. It might result in
a better economic system. Peo-
ple would be less inclined to live
beyond their means, which would
be one more step towards curb-
ing inflation. Many older people
will remember the time when
there was no such thing as in-
stallment buying. You either
paid cash or you gave a promis-
sory note. Over in the'Old Coun-
try, for customers with limited
means, merchants had a "lay-
away plan"—this.mcant so much
a week paid into a "clothing
club." 1 •suppose the revolving
credit plan operated by some
stores today works in much the,
same way—and is a good thing
for those who seem to have a
perpetual hole in their pocket!
Well, weather-wise, until Sat-,
urday we really had a wonderful
week. Coot nights, warm days—
what more could anyone ask?
We • had mid -week visitors on
two separate days. Looking back
1 am amused at how differently
we entertained them—that is,
atter the usual visiting at home,
One friend was delighted be-
cause I took her to visit an
extra -special antique shop. She
was absolutely in her glory. I
don't know how long we
browsed around but it was cer-
tainly a wrench to drag our-
selves away. Shop -keepers of
antique stores are on a little
different footing from other
merchants. Naturally they like
to make a sale lint even If they
don't they r'•,qui. happy to
show thei,' .nd talk
about this one and to any
customer who is genuinely In-
terested in antiques—and re-
spects them enough to keep his
or her hands off the priceless
treasures, I am not quite such
an enthusiast about antiques as
my friend. That is to say, I value
anything old that is .given me
because of its association, but I
don't buy antiques to add to
my collection.
Our next visitor came from
Toronto and likes nothing bet-
ter than to ramble around the
country., So for her we took a
trip to a .natural park, com-
plete with waterfalls, caves,
rocks and century -old buildings.
Then we looked at various
houses that were up for sale,
discussing the factors for and
against new houses versus old.
We also paid a visit to a wonder-
ful old gentleman of ninety-
five, He 'was somewhat lame
but there was nothing wrong
with his mental activity. More
amazing still he had hardly a
line, or a wrinkle in his face.
We felt this was a result of his
philosophy of life. So different
from the tell-tale wrinkles that
denote the discontented person.
Not all wrinkles, of course,
There are wrinkles around the
eyes that go with a humorous
disposition. We really enjoyed
our visit and came away feeling
that old age is a relative quality
—so much depends on the years
that have gone before and the
mental attitude of persons as
they approach old age.
The friend who was with me
for instance, She is in her early
fifties and already a little hard
of hearing. Her doctor prescrib-
ed a hearing -aid. Did she rebel?
Not 'a bit of it, although she is
very active in a social way. She
adopted the attitude that people
wear glasses to see better, then
why not a hearing -aid to hear
'better? She could do without
it for a while yet but her doctor
said it would be wise for her
to get used to it while she is
still at an adaptable age. She is.
following his advice, making life
more interesting' for herself and
less difficult for those with
whom she comes in contact.
I tried it out myself and de-
cided that it was absolutely
ridiculous for anyone to be self-
conscious about wearing such a
worthwhile little contraption,
And I might come to it some
time as my hearing depends
almost entirely on the left ear,
I punctured the drum of the
right ear years ago while diving
in somewhat shallow water.

Lanudry Marks
Catch, Murderers
-The corpse of the ` attractive
young ;brunette- had lain, un-
identified in the mortuary for
nine days, More than 200 rela-
tives of missingwomen .had
filed past the body; none knew
her, : Detectives assigned to dis-
cover her identity faced a seem-
• ingly hopeless task,- - -
The body was found early one
morning in a field, a bullet
wound below the left breast and
another in the head, A clear
case of murder.
She was clad in a light sum-,
mer frock • brown shoes and a
pale brown coatee, Someone,,
probably the murderer, had rip-
ped the manufacturer's name
ottt of the coat; there were no
manufacturer's names on any of
the other clothing.
But there was one small thing
which the murderer had over-
looked: a dry cleaner's number
in the collar of the coatee, The
number was CY-7705-B20.
'The Detroit pollee wired the:
Federal Bureau of 'Investiga-
tion, quoting' the laundry or dry
_.cleaner's number, At the same ,
time they telegraphed to the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police 1
headquarters ill Ottawa,
Within a few hours Detroit
police received a telegram from
the F,B,I, which read: "Number
quoted . by you ' was issued by
Acme Dry Cleaners Detroit."
Minutes later detectives were
interviewing the manager of the
Acme. Dry Cleaners. He turned
up his books and found the
number, It had been allocated to
a Miss Diane Warbecher who
had given a Washington Ave- I
nue address, Within ten minutes
detectives were, interviewing
the superintendent of the block
of flats where Miss Warbecher
had stayed.
They learned that she had, in
fact, been a Mrs. Warbecher
who had left the block ten days
beiueto go with her husband'
to Chicago, A teletype message
was sent to Chicago with the
husband's full description and
In the meantime the superin-
tendent of the block had identi-
fied the body as .that of Mrs.
Warbecher,
The same evening Warbecher
was taken into custody as he
entered his hotel room in down-
town Chicago. In his possession
detectives found a .32 revolver
which, they established later,
had fired the fatal shots.
Warbecher wanted to know
only one thing before pleading
guilty to a murder charge in
the second degree: how did the
detectives discover the woman's
name?
The police did not reveal the
secret to him and in the con-
demned cell he ruminated over
the slip he must have made
when he ensured that Diane
Warbecher would not be identi-
fied, for she had no relatives in
the United States.
I -Ie did not count on one of
the main identification systems
in use in North America to-
day: laundry and dry cleaners'
marks. These telltale numbers
have sent many men to prison,
identified numerous others, • in-
cluding those found uncon=
scious or injured in accidents.
A system whereby every
laundry and dry cleaning estab-
lishment will be listed with the
police 'is under way. Every one
of these establishments uses a .
number and serial letter com-';
bination to identify customers'
articles and these identification .
marks are as foolproof as
fingerprints, for no two estab-
lishments use identical mark-
ings,.
In Britain and elsewhere the
need for similarly recording
laundry marks is keenly felt.
In Eastbourne in 1954 there was
a daring burglary on a jewel-
lery store.
There were no clues, but one
of the burglars had apparently
cut himself in breaking into the
Premises, for he had torn a por-
tion of his handkerchief to bind
a finger. Defectivefound that
the fragment did not belopg to
any staff member of . the jl-
ler's, but it bore a latniclif ;mal k
which was `quickly traced;;=te
London, + '
The detectives now faced the
formidable task of visiting every
one• of the. thousands of'laundr-
les in the pity to. discover which
one had issued that'pumber.
Then a girl squealed on the
gang. • In the flat of one of the
criminals, detectives found other
articles of clothing bearing the
same number. Had London had
a laundry Indexing'system, the
laundry which had issued the
number could have- been traced
within a matter of minutes and
the criminal probably appre-
hended tilt same day instead of
weeks later, as was the case.
A classic case where a dry
cleaner's mark brought a mur-
derer to justice happened in the
Windsor, Ontario, area ten years
ago. A young woman was found
murdered on the outskirts of
the ,Canadian .city.. There was
Nothing by which to identify
her and her face had been so
badly battered that it was im-
possible to publish'a photograph.
Windsor lies immediately on'
the American border not far
from Detroit, add with in a few
hundred miles of other large
cities, including Toronto. She
could have come from any one
of these places, could have been
muraered anywhere and her
body,• dumped where it was
found,
After -six months had elapsed,
the matter waspigeon-holed
but not closed; one detective,
Sergeant Mackenzie, 'still had
the case open on his books find
held the only link between the
woman and identification: a dry
cleaner's number -.JY -8370 -DZ.
The number was circulated to
every police station throughout'
Canada and the United States,
but months and years passed
without anyone coming forward
to identify the murdered wom-
an.
Mackenzie had not written
the case off as hopeless; wher-
ever he went , he visited laun-
dries and dry cleaners in the
hope that one • day he would
find one which would recognize
the number.
Four years and five months
later, he was in Miami, Florida,
on a short holiday. But even
though on holiday, he could not
pass a laundry without showing
the number, And there it Was
that the long trail came drama-
tically to its end. He walked
into a laundry one .day, intro-
duced himself and presented the
card bearing the fatal number.
The manager identified it as
one of his establishment's and
soon afterwards the detective
was looking at the number,
written in the company's , bets
almost five years before and
adjoining it a brief description
of the article and the owner's
name and address. The number
had been allocated to a worm
named Iris Dorothy O'Brien "who
had left the Miami district to
go to live in Canada with her
husband.
Fortunately, the block of flats
where the O'Briens had lived
had a caretaker with a keen
memory and he was able to de-
scribe both the dead woman and
her husband,
.O'Brien's description was cir-
' culated in the U.S. and Canada.
Two days later he was arrested
In Montreal and when asked
where his wife was, told a num-
ber of conflicting stories,
Eventually he admitted that he
had killed his wife and removed
all traces of identity. • As she
was an orphan without brothers
or sisters the possibility of her
"ever being identified had been
remote , , . but for the diligence
of a detective and the fatal
laundry mark which sent
O'Brien to prison for life.

Getting a Hair -do
in Russia •
I've had my first professional
0 hairdo in Russia — and it was
sometrtingl
Since my own hairdresser,
Nellie Cavallo of Akron,. Ohio,
had asked,. me to find -out:: how
Russian, hairdressers work;_arid,
because long. days and nights. on
trains, planes, and boats had left
my .hair in a sad, state, I decided
to try a hairdresser in Yalta,
swank Russian' resort -town on
the Black Sea made famous by
the conference of the -Big Three
powers, writes Helen Water-
house -in The. Christian Science
Monitor.
The hotel combination inter-
preter and desk clerk, a woman
of course, admitted ,she wasn't
too sure where I could find one.
"Most. of us do our own hair
here," she said, .
However, down on the "board-
walk" which corresponds to the
one at Atlantic City, I found d
busy shop, with customers wait-
ing—and seven operators work-
ing at seven chairs with four
manicurists', tables at the side.
A cashier sat In an inclosed
booth like a theater -ticket
booth.
It could have been any Amer-
kan beauty shop at first glance.
Then I began to notice the
weird equipment.
Strange antennalike coils and
wires were sprouting from the
heads of the women who ap-
parently were ,getting perman-
ents,
I found even in Moscow "cold
waves" are unheard of and the
old machine waves, plus plenty
of old-fashioned marcels done
with a curling iron, are the rule.
These machines, however, were
strange and amazing looking ap-
paratus So were the hair dryers
• under which I sat later. They
' are cheap finlike affairs, around
which the operator drapes a cur-
tain of sheets or heavy material
similar to dishcloth, You sit
Swathed like mummies until you
are dry.
I was getting only a wash and
a wave. The wnsh wap per-
formed with a teakettle filled
with hot water at a nearby sink
and poured over my head as I
sat against a tin wash basin af-
fair. - •
1 tried to explain "bobby pins"
. but ' they were unheard of. My
blond young operator used old-;
fashioned curlers with elastic
bands I noticed each operator'
kept -her own utensils, 'curlers,
etc.; in a small suitcase-,

they,soon discovered I was un-..
able to catch a word 'and' fol.:

combing out my locks,
First thing I knew I had an.

And much to my, amazement,
the operator was catching on to
my poodle cut and doing a cred- -
itoble job at it, despite the {net
that nil Russian women . wear
their hair long, or fairly long.'
and mostly combed smoothly
back or hanging in frizzes
around their faces.
I'll choose hairdressing Amer-
ican style I'm sure—but at least
I was "queen for 'a night" when
I went to a restaurant later for
dinner and was given a seat of
honor at a table alone, close to
the three-piece orchestra.
Incidentally, the hairdo is the
one thing I've -found reasonably
priced in this country, • Peering
into the 'ticket booth I asked the
operatorwhat was my bill.
"Four rubles, 18' kopeks," she
replied. ' -
That's about $1.25 in my
money.
Incidentally,. Soviet , women

touch of lipstick.

until late in the evening.
Sheep Shearing
In Wales -
Sheering can, of course, be
done mechanically, In Australia
and New Zealand the vast flocks
are shorn in long sheds with
power -driven clippers run oft a
length of shafting. In this coun-
try many farms use electric
shears.. , .
I obtained an electric shears
once for trial. John Davies is
surprisingly open-minded ab-
out new -(angled methods,
though a little clumsy, We tried
the shears on about a hundred
sheep without any trouble, ex-
cept that Thomas gave himself
an electric shock by feeling for
the lightpoint with his finger
when he was plugging in. The
Welsh wool is coarse' and wiry,
and blunts the' blades rather
quickly, and the small angular
body of the sheep does not al-
low for making sweeps with the
machine, so not much is gained
by the modern way. , .
There is still some shearing
to be done after the big day,
Stray sheep come in from other
farms,' sometimes twenty' or
thirty at a time. And the rams
have to be done. John Davies
allows no one to touch these
- but himself, He drives the pat-
riarchal (lock of forty or so. in-
to a building and sets his bench
on the roadside, while Thomas
carries. for -him and stamps the
the 'shorn rams with pitch. Cars
stop to -watch, and Davies poses
for photographs with a depre-
cating smile, , , .
John Davies has a great fac-
ulty for introducing his photo
into the daily papers. Once
Esme and I took a long winter
holiday, _ One day we . became
snowbound 111 a hut in the Aus-
trian Tyrol at six thousand feet.
In a box 1 discovered un' Eng-
lish daily picture paper which
was a month old. On the front
page was John Davies' driving
sheep with Bett through deep
,snow along tha Amid in frot't of
DyfTryn cottages. • He looked
quite ingenuous.
In the old days when wethers
were kept In the hills the bulk
of wool was large, and the price
was reckoned to pay the rent
of the farm, , ; .
Welsh wool' is shot with a
fibrous,' wiry thread known as
kemp, and- it is this.' which ren-
ders the fleece resistant to cold
and wet. But the kemp does not
readily take , dye, and remains
white and bleached in the cloth,

Marksmanship
Were William Tell to show up
at the Hollywood baseball park
some smoggy night, the legend-
ary. Swiss marksman would be
more lavish than that town's
traditional royal .reception.
Since putting up their $100,-
000 hole in the wall, the Holly-
wood management hardly can
wait for some gimlet-eyed fan
to come along, pitch a baseball
through the aperture and walk
oft with the swag—an attitude
not shared by Lloyds of London
who have insured the Stars vs.
financial loss in this publicity
stunt to end all publicity stunts.
In the Pacific Coast League
where $100,000 knotholes dot
the landscape like so many
gouges in a slice of Swiss
cheese, the Hollywood club re-
mains the first to offer the op-
portunities of financial' inde-
pendence to the fan. Both the
Portland and Seattle parks
boast $100,090 knotholes in their
outfield fences but those are for
•the players' amusement. League
hitters have fired at them for
some timE without appreciable
letup or success.
According to rumor, an inter-
nationally, famous physicist has
just emerged from his labora-
tory with figures to prove the
possibility of throwing a regu-
lation size PCL baseball from
home plate to second base, a
distance of 12': ft. 5% in.
through the 3.3647 inch aper-
ture in the center of the -seven -
foot -square Hollywood target.
To get a 2,8047 inch baseball
through the hole would require
the . talents of a man exactly .
3 ft. 911.1 in. tall and capable of
throwing a baseball 151.3 utiles
an hour, No one but such an'
extraordinary specimen would
be able to drive a baseball
through that size aperture with
a hammer — at..least not at a
distance of some 40 yards,
Nevertheless it is gratifying
to see that at least in one park
in' the country the customer is
- being given an even break.
Marksmanship of this nature
is nothing • new .or the PCL, a
region long ' grown accustomed
to theuncanny and the bizarre
t� soy nothing of the unnatural.
• Mickey Livingston, a hot-
tempered South Carolina'. who
caught in the mnjor Ieugues tor
a variety of tenors including the
Cubs, Giants, and Pills, once
knocked :. house painter off his
scaffold at Hollywood's Gilmore
Field with a well.directed line
drive during an exhibition
game. Rip Russell, who gained
undying tame as an actor by
portraying Mabe Dahlgren' in a
motion picture about Lou Geh-'
rig, once went Livingston one
better,
During the 1933 season the
Oailand baftball park featured
a small bell atop the left field
fence. Located in fair territory,
a hitter ringing the bell was
supposed to receive $500 for his
marksmanship. No one came
closeso, one the last day of the
season, the management gener-
ously doubled the prize,
Los Angeles was playing at
Oakland and in the ninth in-
ning Rip Russell Avent looking
for his manager, Bill Sweeney,
Russell, .who . was out of the
lineup with an' injury,. pleaded
for a crack at the $1,000 prize
and Sweeney sent him up as a
pinch hitter.
According .to Sweeney, Rus-
sell took dead aim, at the bell
from the batter's box. He sight-
ed along his bat like a rifle
marksman zeroing in, on a tar-
get. Will Hafey was pitching
for Oakland and Russ e 11
promptly whacked his first
delivery squarely off the bell
which rang noisily while the
astonished Oakland owners
toppled in blanched horror oft
their chairs.
Will Sweeney got so excited
he still cannot remember who
won the game, Rip Russell, to
his credit, at least remembered
his party manners, They say
he tipped Oakland pitcher
Haley X50, presumably for co-
operation, And there was a Jess-
er cash reward for Hafey's
catcher, Bill Raimondi, who also
was a prty to the plot.
Unfortunately for Rip Russell,
that Oakland bell was one of
the few he ever rang.
Dollar A • Bottle
• The Canadian Meteorological
Station at Departure Bay, Van-
couver Island, will soon launch
.15,000 bottles on the Pacific
Ocean. They will be used for a
survey of ocean currents' and the
launching will.be done by about
30 ships at various points, the
most distant one being about
1,500 miles from shore, It is said
to be the most important bottle -
releasing project 'in history.
Dr, J,' Tully, in charge of this
experiment, has been collecting
old bottles for more than n year.
New bottles are somewhat fra-
gile,
The number of these that re-
turn to Departure Bay is not
expected to exceed 2 per cent,
or 300 bottles. Some will be pick•
ed up n few days after launch-
ing. Most of the others are ex.
peeled to be found in six months
or more. A few more will remain
floating in the ocean for per-
haps as much as 10 years, The
remainder will have gone to the
bottom.
Cards inside the bottles re-
quest the finder to forward
these to Departure Bay, with de-
tails as to where and when the
bottle was found, For this infor-
mation, he will receive n dollar
bill.
The bottles are tightly corked
and heavily coated with wax.
Five men were kept busy for
three weeks preparing the ma-
terial for this test, and the re-
sults of it will not be known
for two years, •

Lost His Teeth
But Won Girl
What should a beautiful girl
do when she finds almost every
young plan she meets falling in
love with her and she can't
make up her mind which of her
suitors to marry?
A pretty twenty -two-year-
old London girl was faced with
this problem recently. Instead
of one sweetheart, she had four,
and she just couldn't decide
which one she loved the most.
Then she had an idea, "I'll
marry the one who can write
me the most affectionate love
letter," she told them.
A week later she read the
letters from her four suitors
and had no difficulty in decid-
Ing which one would be her
future husband. His leiter was
fifty pages long—written in his
own blood!
They say marriage is a gam-
ble. 1l certainly was for Lorna
Douglas, of. Houston,. Texas.
One night she called her six
suitors together, wrote their
names on • separate slips of
paper, put, them In a hat and
married the mai. whose name
was on the third slip drawn.
An equally unusual `method
of selecting a husband was used
n few years ago by an excep-
tionally pretty Glasgow school-
teacher who had no fewer than
twelve proposals In as many
weeks.
"I'll marry the first one nide
to recite 1,5000 lines from
Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Jul-
iet' without a single mistake,"
she told the twelve young hope-
fuls, She gave them n ween in

which to learn their "home-
work."
When the appointed day came,
the suitors arrived at the pretty .
schoolteacher's house looking
pale and haggard after so many
hours of study. Then, one by
one, they began to. -recite .. .
The first eleven failed, But
the twelfth suitor -recited the
whole 1,500 lines- without a ,
mistake—then fainted from ex—
haustion! He later explained
that he .had been so busy learn-
ing the lines that he, hadn't been
to bed for the past seven nights,
Another novel method of
choosing a husband was that
used some years ago by a South
African beauty who had no
fewer than eight, suitors. She
decided she might as well have
a husband who could defend
her, so she made them fight
for her—with bare lists.
Drawing up a set of rules, she
handed a copy to each wooer.
The contest started . with four
fights, then a semi-final, and a
,final. The fights took place in a
secluded valley, the only spec-
tators being the girl and her
' father, and the eventual winner
was a tough, handsome rancher.
He won the final on a knock-
out—but lost three teeth, had
his nose broken, and received
a black eye and broken thumb
doing so!
A good-looking Brighton girl
had four sweethearts and, as
. they were all expert swimmers,
she promised to marry the one
who could remain longest un-
der water. The contest was
easily won by the youngest of
the four suitors. The other three
were hauled unconscious from
the water; and one spent ten
days in hospital.
Hamida Banu, of Mirzapur,
India, says she is looking for a
"tough -guy husband," but so far
none of her suitors has proved
tough enough. She is a profes-
sional wrestler, and says says
she will marry the first man
who can defeat her.
She has already eliminated
over eighty suitors, and it looks
as though she is doomed to re-
main a spinster, Her last vic-
tory was over - the 252 pound
heavyweight champion of Patia-
