From the Secretary's report it was
learned the society had a very gratify-
ing year.
The Horticultural park was well ta-
ken care of. Marc evergreens were
planted fpr a shelter belt outlining the
park. A memorisl bird bath was an at-
tractive addition this year. An inspir-
ing Sunday afternoon religious service
was held - in the park. Roses were
planted in the center bed, and more
will be added this year,
Some of the street intersections
pl.hnted by the society were very at-
tractive, but the corners that was made
a driveway 'for cars didn't do so well,
. The society provided plants for large
beds on either side of the school ent-
j ranee also a large bed in Union ceme-
tery.
The Horticultural display at the Fall
Fall was very fine as was the exhibit
of over 30 entries of edible animals,
created by school pupils from fruits
and ,vegetables, and sponsored by the
society. This created a great deal of
favorable continent and public interest.
One Director expressed her opiniott
at the annual meeting by saying "It is
a privilege to be a member of the
Horticultural Society, as a number of
much larger centers haven't such an
organization, whose sole objective
to beautify the Village."
Receipts for the year included Muni-

Mrs. Hughes, elderly, grey-hair-
ed and bespectacled, in sombre
black, Next to her sat Edward
`Wellings, who might have pass-
• ed as a bank cashier, and the
woman who passed as his wife,
en attractive brunette of about
thirty-six.
On the other side of the bare
table sat Philip Peach, a rather
nondescript -looking man. Beside
him, in striking contrast, sat Ed-
ward Fane, a military -looking
man of distinguished appearance.
This meeting was typical of
the periodic conferences held in
the Wellingses' flat between the
wars. For, if forgery is your
business, close contact between
partners 1s alI-important.
Wellings had been examining
a cheque. Made out in favour
of Mrs. Hughes, it was for a
guinea.
Signed by the Bishop of Lon-
don, it added to Mrs. Hughes
large collection yet another valu-
able genuine specimen of a
signature.
Half an hour later Philip Peach .
invited his colleagues' • opinion
upon that self -same cheque after •
treatment. The general opinion
was that the cheque had been
greatly improved, the figure
£150, which now replaced the
humble £1 Is. Od., being much
admired.
Mrs. Hughes, left with a very
small income on the death of
her husband, had begun by
writing to a prominent man ask-
ing for financial assistance,
mhe success. of this call on
charity tempted her to repeat
the experiment. Again it came
off, and very soon begging let-
ter -writing had become her full-
time occupation.
There was only one snag to it.
The benevolent made such mod-
est contributions.
Then she met the Wellingses. !
They soon pointed out to her
that the odd guineas she col-
lected by her "literary efforts"
did not constitute the real vale
of the cheques received, but the
genuine specimen signatures
thereon.
After that, when cheques ar-
rived, Mrs. Hughes passed them
on for "treatment,"
Fane, the former Rifle Brigade
captain, was not a forger, but
he was useful, both as "front" -
and signature tout, cadging from
the benevolent on behalf of
imaginary old soldiers out of
luck.
When Peach had completed his
work of art with pen and ink
the next step was to pass the
torged cheque successfully.
A cheque passed over the
counter for cashing may carry a
perfect specimen of a well -
own customer's signature; but
•the person presenting it may
betray himself by over -haste or
one of those little lapses that
arise out of guilty'knowledge.
This danger was very neatly
overcome, however. Ringing up
from a hotel, Wellings would
ask for a messenger boy to be
lent round. When the boy ar-
rived he was dispatched to the
bank with a note on the hotel
n o t e p a p e i:•, requesting cash
against the cheque in the name
of a well-known customer.
The boy was instructed to go
with the cash and settle a small
debt at a certain shop and then
return .to his employer at the
hotel.
This method enabled the gang
to watch the movements of the
messenger boy from first to last,
Thus, if they saw that something
had gone wrong they warned the
waiting man at the • hotel and
vanished in haste. The boy might
be able to describe his employer,
but beyond that there was no
clue,
The method was so successful
that many thousands of pounds
were paid out by London banks
into the coffers of Wellings,
Peach and Co.
The "firm" operated a second
method of extracting money
from the benevolent. And It was
here that Fane was the prime
mover.
Though no longer in the Army,
he still belonged to a famous
service club. Reputable London
clubs have cheque forms which,
when filled in 'by a member,
become as negotiable as one
printed by the bank itself, When
Fane secured these cheque forms
he passed them over to Peach,
There was much to recommend
this kind of forgery, for the fact
that the presented cheque was
on a club form, narrowed down
the possibility of fraud. For who
would be able to obtain such
forms but a club member? And
members of such clubs do not
usually commit forgery.
Fane selected a certain Colonel
Gascoigne, a rich member of the
club. To him he wrote on behalf
of a very hard case — an old
soldier with a splendid service
record who had fallen on evil
days.
Would the Colonel send a small
donation to the fund he, the
writer, was getting up? Prompt-
ly came a cheque for two
guineas.
Passed to Peach, this cheque
was never presented for pay-
ment. It was simply used to
copy the Colonel's signature to
cheques made out on the club
forms.
One of these cheques was
made out for £900. As usual a
messenger boy was employed
end the cash secured without
rousing the cashier's suspicions.
But when, a few days later,
the small boy presented a second
cheque for an even l a r g e r
amount, the cashier smelt a rat.
The boy, perfectly innocent of
course, somehow sensed that he
had become involved in a crim-
inal activity, and ran out of the
bank. The second cheque, there-
fore, was never cashed.
A setback, certainly, but not a
disaster, When finally, disaster
did overwhelm the forgery firm
of Wellings, Peach and Co., it
came from quite a different di-
rection.
Wellings and Peach quarrelled,
probably over a division of the
swag. And Peach, wishing to in-
jure his former partner, sent an
anonymous letter in a disguised
hand to Scotland Yard "blowing
the gaff' on the whole gang. He
even took the trouble to explain,
in detail, the methods used.
Mrs, Hughes and the Welling-
ses were arrested. At the Old
Bailey the parson's widow stout-
ly protested her innocence, but
she was convicted and got three
years.
The Wellingses, husband and
wife, got seven •and five years
respectively; Fane, debonair to
the last, got seven years.
Q. How can I keep lettuce, cel-
ery, parsley, and mint fresh for

A. Wrap in a cloth wrung out

Fake Gems

A few years ago a college

Great Gardens
All Underground
Seven miles north of Fresno,
Calif., two blocks west of U.S.
Highway 99, is a one-man won-
der of the world. Here a fan-
tastic maze of passageways,
known as the Fresno Under-
ground Gardens, consists of 65
rooms, gardens, grottoes, and
patios, each differing from the
other and all below ground.
Many full-grown trees flour-
ish. A citrus tree, more than 20
feet below the surface, is graft-
ed to bear seven kinds of fruit.
Rare shrubs and flowers add
s+1'ashes of colour throughout.
the project.
It seems incredible that one
man cuold dig all this alone
over a period of even 38 un-
• rewarded years. Born near Mes-
sina, Sicily, in 1879, Baldasare
Forestiere was the son of a pros-
perous fruit grower. At 21 the
youth emigrated to America,
where he got work tunneling
under the city of Boston. During
the next six years he also helped
to build the subway from I New -
York to New Jersey and the
great Croton Aqueduct.
In 1908 he moved to the site
of his lifetime project in Fres-
no. With his savings and an in-
heritance he bought 200 acres
of barren desert land at about
$10 an acre. Today, however, it
is some of the world's most pro-
ductive and costliest land. To
escape the hot summers, Mr.
Forestiere at once dug a deep
cellar, remembering the cool
depth of the subways.
Ho enjoyed his underground
home so well that ha soon be-
gan to enlarge it, burrowing out
a complete and comfortable but
unconventional four -room apart-
ment. Legend says that after
completing his living quarters,
Baldasare returned to Sicily
when he was about 35 to claim
•
his childhood sweetheart as his
bride, But she rejected him,
whereupon he resolved to build
alone an underground estate un-
like any other, It would be a
spectacle 'to bring public won-
derment and fame instead of
scorn and mockery.
From his living quarters he
lcept digging out in all direc-
• tions, Here he made a tunnel,
there a room, over there a pas-
sageway, a patio, more rooms,
gardens, and grottoes until a
veritable maze honeycombed
nearly seven acres beneath the
earth's surface.
Today the gardens stand pre-
served as their builder left them.
A giant auto tunnel extends
more than 700 feet, and arches
and columns are found through-
out the gardens — hewn in
graceful symmetry. Visitors com-
pleting their tour through the
passageways feel that they have
seen a secret world.
Prominent engineers who have
inspected the work marvel at
Mr, Forestiere's • genius, Self-
taught, he designed,exactly right
.for strength and permanency,
No monotony of pattern greets
the eye, and the whole project
is lighted by the sun. Every-
where one sees literally millions
of pickmarks in the clay and
hardpan writes Aubrey B.
Haines In The Christian Science
Monitor,
Although he was but five feet,
four inches tall, he swung his
pick, hacking his way through
the earth countless times. He
shoveled out and hauled away
in a wheelbarrow hundreds of
tons of dirt. Most incredible of
all, however, he could shovel
dirt out of an 18 -foot hole —
more than three times his own
height, Surely, he was among
the greatest pick - and - shovel
artists of all time I
To promote the growth of his
underground trees, Baldasare
utilized the rich loam of ancient
lakebeds some '75 miles away,
near Coalinga, Calif. He made
countless trips in his rattly Mo-
del T Ford pickup to dig and
haul back this earth to fill
around his plants, W h e n, in
1946, he passed on, his work
was still unfinished.
But what he achieved is'fast
becoming known as the one-
man wonder of the world.

Animal Instinct
Or Intelligence?
It was pitch-dark, cold De-
cember night and the slender,
jet -hatred Spanish girl shivered
alightly as she lay in bed listen-
ing to the wind whistling
through the eaves of the old
country house.
She hated being alone in the
house, But it was inevitable that
night, Her girl friend, who Heed
there with her, had been called
way to the sick -bed of her
mother in Madrid,
How the wind whistled! And
how the twenty -two-year-old
girl's heart thumped when she
suddenly began to think of her
plight should a burglar be
tempted to break in while she
was alone and defenceless.
She took a couple of aspirins
to try to soothe her frayed
nerves. But sleep would not
come.
Suddenly, the scared girl sat
bolt upright in bed. Between
gusts of wind she had heard
sounds on the ground floor be-
low,
Then It came -- a crash of
glass. The girl leapt out of bed
and put on a dressing -gown be-
fore plucking up courage to go
outside on to the veranda, She
could see shafts of flickering
light which apparently came
from the room beneath.
When she finally nerved her-
self to go downstairs, she was
amazed to find Juan, her friend's
pet monkey, chattering excitedly
as he confronted one of the
armchairs, which was ablaze and
burning furiously.
The girl swiftly smothered the
flames with a rug and then saw
that the monkey's face and arms
were cut and bleeding and that
the glass of one of the French
windows had been shattered.
It was obvious what had hap-
pened, The fire had been cause]
by a burning cigarette -end acci-
dentally dropped by the girl dur-
ing her after -supper smoke there
an hour or so earlier. The chair
bad smouldered; then burst into

had seen the flames and had
broken through the window to
give the alarm,
There are many remarkable
stories of animals and birds
which have done things which
can only be described as "almost
human,"
Nigger, a mongreldog who
attached himself to . a United
States fire brigade by the simple
process of walking into the fire
station and declining to leave,
did six' year's service as an
honorary "fireman."
During that time he learned to
scale ninety -foot ladders and
was directly responsible for the
rescue of several men and
women who had been trapped.
"Nigger's nose, even in the
thickest smoke, told himwhere
the fire victims were, although
his human fellow -firemen could
not locate them," wrote a news-
paper reporter.
Nigger even rescued two kit-
tens from a blazing tenement
before going into retirerlient.
Another mongrel, Spot, jump-
ed into a canal with a steep
concrete bank in Essex to save
, a cat two years ago. Ile swans
200 yards holding the cat by the
scruff of the neck to where the
owner, a nine-year-old boy,
could get to the water to help
him. Spot's reward for his hu-
manity? A new collar and lead,
Because of "quick thinking"
Siamese cat raised the alarm and
roused its shopkeeper - master,
raiders in Middlesex missed a
.£1,500 haul .of cigarettes about
three years ago. The cat heard
them breaking in and pawed its
sleeping master till he `awoke,
put on the light and caused the
burglars to run.
Many horses seem to be able
to think and reason. Sandy
Shore, an old and very clever
horse, decided some years ago
that the day was too hot for
him to race at a trotting meeting
at Christchurch, New Zealand.
So while the horses paraded
he keeled over and deliberately
staged a collapse. The crowd
thought he was dead. Then, just
as a tractor approached to shift
him, Sandy got up -- quite fit.
By then, of course, the 3.30 had
been run without him!
A man riding through a forest
at night collided with a tree and
fell from the saddle unconscious.
His horse continued his journey ::
and on reaching home kicked at
the door until it was opened, e.
Then, turning, he swiftly led the
occupants back to the spot where
his unconscious master Iay,
neighing excitedly when they
reached him.
"Some people argue that ani-
mals have Instinct but no intel-
ligence," the late Professor A. M.
Low once said; "It may be a
matter of degree, for human be-
ings do much by instinct with-
out intelligence."
Animals are sometimes seized
with panic, just like human be-
ings, and many scientists are
convinced that they have the
faculty of language,
"Animals not only call each
ether as human beings do, but
communicate their impressions
of disquiet, joy and anger,' says
a. German scientist who has a
high opinion of animals' "think-
ing powers."
A rabbit 'was attracted by a
stoat, he says. Then a man sud-
denly appeared and the terrified
rabbit crawled despairingly to
him, lay down between his legs
and said as plainly as wordless
speech could; "I leave it to you."
The stoat was driven off. The
rabbit recovered the use of its
limbs and skipped away, joy-
fully.
The $2 note is traditionally
popular among racetrack fans,
who find it handy for a $2 -mini-
mum bet. One U.S. Federal Re-
serve bank last year reported an
increase of $150,000 in the de-
mand for twos during the first
month of the racing season.

It is bitterly cold and the snow
has melted very little. The bird -
feeding shelf 1s crowded and one
raucous English sparrow jumped
In the bird bath, which I had
just filled with warm water hop-
ing it would not freeze until the
birds had a chance to drink. He
looked at the other birds and
gave a defiant splash, The others
contented themselves with drink-
ing and the sparrow soon came
out, for even bravado couldn't
keep him warm enough.
The poor lady cardinal sits
timidly on the flower -garden
fence, waiting her turn. Her hus-
band is beautiful, but a bully,
and she is never allowed to eat
until he has stuffed himself and
flown off. Even the sparrows
peck her, She is one of the meek

I wonder if people who sleep
late in the morning and who
never get out of doors until day-
light covers the world know the
meaning of the Bible description,
"The morning stars sing to-
gether?" Those who see the stars
in the morning before dawn
know its meaning, for in the
early morning the stars are set
in the sky with a beautiful pre-
cision. The twinkling ones hat e
disappeared and only the steady
ones remain, 'Vlore is something
chaste and exquisitely geometri-
cal about the pre -dawn sky.

A covey of partridges live at
Upton and feed on the leepetleea
seed that drop in the Voids. In
spring they call from CRe fence
corners, and in winter when
snow comes they draw nearer
to the house looking for food.
Their favorite spot is in the open
shed next to the apple house
down in the orchard. Here they
can find shelter and we always
put grain there for them.
During the last heavy snow I
took a bag 'of cracked corn and
oats and started out to feed the
partridges, In the orchard the
snow was smooth and deep and
over the surface was sketched
the story of small animals and
•birds who had traveled that way.
The clumpy tracks of an old hare
led to the straw stack. Follow-
ing them, I saw where he had
hollowed out a snug little nest
under the straw, Farther along,
headed for the shed, were the
dainty tracks of a covey of par-
tridges that disappeared on the
dry ground under the shed, I
threw In some grain and went
on across the orchard, along the
edge of the woods to a black-
berry patch where I was sure
the birds sheltered,
There under the blackberry
vines, safe from hawks, was a
little patch of ground cleared by
the birds scratching for fallen
weed -seed. I thew out more grain
and looked out on the quiet
earth, green pine tops pinioned
against a bright blue winter sky,
deerberry bushes laden with red
berries curved down to touch
the snow. A young oak stood on
the edge of the woods, all the
brown leaves still holding to the
'branches. The wind made them
rattle.
I stcpped into the edge of the
woods. A brown creeper gave
its lis -ling call from the trunk
of a sycamore; a cardinal streak-
ed past; and cutting across my
path ran the delicate trail of a
mouse, probably making for his
hole under the blackberry
bushes.

Why do some people talk with
such assurance about what they
are going to do with the world,
as though they. owned it, when'
really our share is such a small
one? Birds and butterflies, bees
and flying insects fill the air;
tiny animals climb and burrow
and scuttle. There is all the
intricate pattern of bush and
tree, of moss and flower and
weed. A n d underneath t h e
ground a whole world of life
goes on that we never see -
moles with gray velvet coats
push along, their strong front
feet swinging'through the earth
with a swimmer's breast stroke,
Behind them come the ground -
mice on sly,' flying feet, and
tucked under a stone is a gray
worm, rolled\ up for the winter.
There is myriad life under, on,
and above the earth,
The other day I uncovered a
daffodil bulb by mistake and
the green spear was already
pushing up toward the light.
Aboveground my p e r"e n n i a 1
phlox look dead but underneath
the snow and the rich brown
earth exquisite, pale green
leaves are flattened against the
roots..

men were asked in a contest,
"What is the best household
utensil?" the winner's reply: "A
good hard-working husband."
Drive With Care
Now's The Time To
Pian That Garden
With the seed catalogues start-
ing'to arrive, it is time for for-
ward -thinking garden makers to
start planning. Annuals are one
of the first items to merit at-
tention and while it is far too
early to do any planting, even
indoors, quite a few week ends
or evenings may well be devoted
to deciding what varieties will
be planted this year and where.
Facts as to their growing habits,
colors and heights should be
noted.
There are many annuals and
a lot of gardens can be planted
for a couple of dollars by select-
ing carefully, MarIgods, zinnias
and petunias are without doubt
the three most popular of the
annual group and all are showing
a yearly steady advance due to
the work of the hybridizers.
Modern day forms and colors of
this group bear practically no
resemblance to their ancestors
of 20 years ago, so rapid has been
the progress.
Several very wonderful mari-
golds will make their appear-
ance this year and they will be
covered later on in these col-
umns. Generally speaking, the
African types will take longer
to mature and flower than will
the French types though there
are some hybrids that will slight-
ly upset this schedule.
So numerous are the fine var-
ieties of marigolds today that one
may make mass plantings gradu-
ating heights and colors to make
a stunning display. They may be
used for accent points to supple-
ment the perennial border, for
edging, or as a spot planting
where a spot of vivid but pleas-
ing color is needed.
Mid -March is about right to
start the slower growing African
types indoors with the French
ones going in about two weeks
later. This should result in avail-
able plants for setting out in the
New York area the 10th to the
15th of May, which is about the
safe date in this area.
This writer , would divide his
seed into two lots, one to be
started indoors and the other
to be started outdoors at the
end of May. Following this plan
one will have a fresh supply of
plants to take over in the late
months of the year when the
earlier atarted plants are likely
to be blooming out.
Annuals are so floriferous, and
particularly the marigold, that
this tendency to flower them-
selve.•, out is natural.
Too few gardeners cut their
annuals enough. They should be
used freely in the home for ar-
rangement and maturing flowers
going to seed should be snipped
off at regular intervals. Once
they seed, the quality of flowers
will deteriorate.
IDEAL NURSERY
A seed flat is the ideal nursery
in which to start seed. Dnainage
material of broken crock or
coarse cinders should be placed
in the bottom of the box. A mix-
ture of equal parts of sharp sand,
garden loam and humus will
make an ideal seed bed, This
should be put through a coarse
screen. When filling the box,
shake the soil down by striking
the box sharply on some solid
surface. Never ]et the soil reach
to the actual top of box but
rather allow a half-inch between
soil surface and edge of flat.
Water well and then set for a
few hours or overnight when the
soil may be worked carefully.
Make the rows three inches apart
and sow thinly so that no crowd-
ing may occur. Crowding of
plants will result in spindly
specimens hard to transplant.
As soon as the plants, forst two
to four true leaves, they are
ready to transplant. I prefer
planting them in individual small
pots which may be sunk in an-
other flat of peat or ashes. Sink
them to the run. Following this
procedure they may, when the
time comes, be planted out in the
garden without damage to the
roots or setback to the plant.
Two weeks before time for set-
ting out, the plants should be
exposed to outside air on all
balmy days to accustom them to
the chance in temperature they

Privileges of Church
Membership
1 Peter 2:9-10; 2 Corinthians 0:1.
8; Galatians 6:1.5; Hebrews
4:14-16; 10:23-25.
The expression, Church Mem-
bership, does not occur in the
New Testament, However, thea
was a fellowship among the be-
lievers who met together in their
places of worship. Sometimes
they exercised discipline upo*
delinquents in their midst. (l
Corinthians 5), This is seido*
done today. Standards for church
membership generally have talien
to such a low ebb that a churck
hesitates to exercise discipl
action knowing that the indi1112
ual will likely be received by
some other church and no ques-
tions asked.
The New Testament standard
is a high one. This is expressed
in the memory selection: "Ye ars
a chosen generation, a royd
priesthood, an holy nation, a pe-
culiar people; that ye should
show forth the praises of him
who hath called you out of dark-
ness into his marvellous tight."
(1 Peter 2:9), 'Peculiar' does not
mean 'queer'. It means that we
beling to God in a special senses
a people for His own possession.
It is easy to see why people who
have come into this beautiful re-
lation with God are "cheerful
givers". They receive so much
from God that they count it a
joy to acknowledge their steward..
ship. The giving of the title, com-
manded by the law but practised
long before, is the primary basis
of their giving. They like to go
beyond it.
Christians .are concerned for
one another, There is a sense in
which each must bear his ower
pack. But we delight to help
others who are overtaxed with
crushing loads,
In the hour of temptation let
us remember that Jesus was
tempted in all points like as
we are, yet without sin. He carer
far us and will help us if we pray.
We are 'urged not to forsake
the assembling of ourselves to•
gether. We gain• strength frouz
fellowship with God's people.
Those who deliberately Ieavesthle
out except for Christmas and
Easter, live empty lives.
Many are the privileges 4K

into the light of God and wane
in His way day by day.

will undergo. Water enough io
keep the plants thriving but
don't overdo • it. The seed, under
warm house conditions, germin-
ates very quickly and most marl -
golds will be up and growing
within a two-week period frog
planting.
This is one of the easiest an-
nuals to grow and with eves
moderate care you should sue-
ceed, First decide what varieties
you want to grow apd then order
them from your seedsman so that
you will sure to have the var-
ieties you want. Frequently cer-
tain varieties are sold out when
the late buyers get into actiott,}
and the plans you have made will
naturally go for nothing.

"Dear Anne Hirst: •
A year ago I met a fine lady
with whom I have fallen in love,
She is in her early 40's; I am 56.
She has a lovable nature, a fine
education, and not a fault that
I can see; . her personality and
her keen humor make me feel
so at ease, perhaps because I am
very much in love. But she will
allow no mention of either love
nor marriage!
"Twenty-one years ago she
married, and I understand it was
a tragic failure that ended in
divorce. We enjoy so many,
many things together that I am
sure I can make and keep her
happy. Financially she is well
off, and so am I ... At the
moment she is visiting friends in
another town, and her letters are
delightfully witty — but never
does she say she even misses me.
Whenever we are together she
is invariably kind and sweet, but
this is the only indication that
she is fond of me.
"Could the difference in our
• ages be the barrier between us?
Perhaps she is reluctant to say

so? (My health is perfect.) After
dating her regularly for a year,
haven't I the right to know how
she feels? Please do not think
of me as an old man with silly
ideas, but I feel that I must know
where I stand.
ANXIOUS FRIEND"
TIME TO SPEAK
• It is not only young men in
• love who grow impatient of
• delay; older ones do, too. Your
• house and your heart await the
° woman who will share them,
• and you long for this one who
• you believe can make that
* house a home. I agree that the
• time has come to speak, and
* for her to answer.
° Her reluctance to discuss the
• future may be caused by the
• memories of her tragic mar-
* riage. Yet that was years ago,
• and it sounds incredible that
" she can misconstrue your as-
o siduous attentions since you
met. She does enjoy your
friendship, and she is apparent-
ly satisfied with the status quo.
It does not satisfy you.
The difference in years might
have been vital when you both
were younger, but as the years
fly by, that should matter less
and less. Then one considers
the other as a mature com-
panion, and temperament and
character are the deciding fac-
tors.
* Whatever her reason for de-
* lay, however, when you tell her
* frankly that you want to marry
• her, she cannot gracefully
• withhold her answer. Go ahead,
• and gond luck.

JEALOUSLY THREATENS
MARRIAGE
"Dear Anne Hirst:
The only rift in our six-year-
old marriage is my husband's
crazy jealousy. Our quarrels are
bitter, and end with horrible ac-
cusations which he must know
have no basis of truth. He has
told me to leave more than once,
but I have no intention of giving
up this sweet home I've worked
so hard to get.
"It certainly looks as though
he is searching for a reason to
divorce me and is furious be-
cause he can't find one . , . Yes,
I suppose that beneath this soul -
shocking pattern I still love him
some, but honestly, Anne Hirst,
most of the time .I despise him,
"Our little son is beginning to
he distressed by all these scenes.
1 do hope you can help me, for
1 am really — FED UP"
• A jealous person is a most
" miserable creature. Obsessed,
" usually by a sense of inferi-
• ority, or the memory of once
• being jilted, a man refuses to
* believe that any woman can be
" loyal. Such men are almost
• hopeless, but there is one thing
• you can do about it—
• Keep your quarrels to your-
• selves. Leave your husband
• talking to an empty room, and
' go out of the house if you have
• to. If he resumes when you
' return, do not answer. Go
" about your duties as though he
• were not there.
• Can you remind him how
" cruel it is to expose his little
" boy to such anger? What a
- distorted view of marriage he
" will acquire! When parents
" deny children the emotional
' security and mutual respect
• they deserve, they are not fit
' to be parents. Appeal to his
• fatherhood, and see whether
* that works. It has with other
• men.
PICTURE WINDOW — Scorning canvas, Bulgarian artist Assen
Peikov paints on framed glass in his Rome Studio. A famed
sculptor who has made a life-sized statue of Ava Gardner
among ether works, Peikov says the glass is Tess of an obstacle
to artistic expression than canvas.
BEAUTY AND THE BULL—Moody motion picture star Ave Gardner
is reportedly conferring with beaticians, doctors and make-up
men about removing evidence of a recent disagreement with
a fighting shorthorn bull in a private bull ring. Ava, long an
avid fan of bullfighting, is shown jousting with a young cow
in Madrid, Spain, just before the accident. She says heavy .
make-up conceals the "dimple" in her face remaining from the
reported butting she suffered.
HRONICLES
1NGERPAR
GUend.oline P. Clarke
We can really enjoy our tele•
vision now. We were only half
enjoying it before. The other
half of the time we were irritat-
ed and frustrated. Why? Be-
cause we were trying to operate
It with "rabbit's ears", We did
ge excellent reception but only
with Channel 6. We brought our
aerial from the farm but did not
put it up for two reasons — we
couldn't decide definitely where
we wanted the set and the lead.
in wire, nor just how and where
to install the aerial. Television
is one of those things , you
don't want to be without it and
yet it disrupts living -room ar-
rangements more than any other
piece of furniture. You just have
to sort of build around it. I
don't wonder so many people
put their set in some room other
than the living room especially
when there are several in the
family. But we happen to Want
ours in the living -room so we
tried it first one place and then
another and the aerial waited
until we were sure we had hit
on the least inconvenient loca-
tion. Partner wouldn't have the
aerial put on the roof — afraid
it might cause leaks. So we de-
cided on a chimney mount but
not the kind that has straps of
metal around the chimney. This
is a new contraption that fits
inside the chimney and requires
no tools, drilling or cutting but
yet anchors the aerial firmly to
one corner of the chimney. Our
antenna is cnly about tcn feet
above the chimney and works
fine. That, however, night not
suit everyone — it all depends
on the location of your home;
its distance from station trans-
mitters and its height above sea -
level. If you happen to be in-
terested in this type of aerial
installation inquire at your tele-
vision store for "an internal
chimney mount". Thought I
would just pass the word along
in case anyone might be in-
terested.
Of course we haven't reached
perfection yet -- we still can't
get Channel 17 — our set doesn't
run to that — but we are not
going to worry about it — at
least not until our present set
gives up the ghost. Sometimes
I think. it won't be long until
that happens as the picture
seems a little darker now than it
should be. Oh yes, and before I
Rave the subject of TV aerials
1 should mention that quite a
few of our neighbours have
their aerial installed in the attic.
The reception is very good but
we didn't. fall for the idea be -
eau: -.e we imagined there might
I,e a greater fire hazard. Wt
couldn't see that it would be
properly grounded. Perhaps we
are wrong but that was our int -
'pression anyway.
Now I am going to tell you
about a very different piece of
equipment and the reasons that
led to its installation. This is
not in the same category as tele-
vision. It is not a luxury but
rather a necessity for healthy
living conditions. We felt the
need of it long before we left
the farm but here it seems
doubly necessary. What is it?
What is it? A portable humidi-
fier no less - - to counteract the
dry air in the house. At the
farm we had a quart -size water -
pan on the furnace. We also had
small pails of water placed in-
side the registers and of course
with the good old kitchen stove
going there, was always a cer-
tain amount of steam arising
from tea kettles and boiling pots
and pans. Here there was nothing
at all to create moisture. In the
morning Partner would wake up
coughing and I would wake dur-
ing the night with a throat like
a nutmeg grater. So we knew
something had to be doneand
started making inquiries. We
found that a self-feeding water -
pan could be installed on the
furnace — which, incidentally,
many people already have and
do not use. While we were con-
sidering this type I remembered
that several years ago friends of
ours had bought an electric
humidifier and thought it won-
derful. I phoned Mrs. N ... and
asked for more particulars, "Oh,
yes, they still liked it — wouldn't
be without it for anything —
never have colds any more." So
we contacted a home appliance
store and had a similar one sent
up on trial. 1t looks like a space
heater, plugs into any outlet and
holds about 2 gallons of water,
A small meter comes with it.
It records the amount of mois-
ture in the air. Dry is 30; nor-
mal 40 to 60; moist GO to 80. '1'0
start with it registered 30. It
took two or three days to get
the moisture content up to 45.
The result? Almost unbelievable!
No coughing or parched throats.
Even so, after a weak we de-
cided a larger one was necessary
to take care of the whole house
as we have it plugged in in
the hallway, We made the ex-
change and now we can keep,
the whole house at 50 degrees
of moisture quite easily, The
cost was not prohibitive — about
D"onkeys Sold
For Sixpence
Whoever started the story that
donkeys are stupid was himself
rather stupid, a professor of nat-
ural history said recently, Don-
keys have brains of a high order
and have proved time after time
that they can use them in an
emergency.
Not long ago a donkey saved
four people from almost certain
death in a blinding snowstorm
on the Swiss mountain, the Jung -
frau. Overtaken by the storm,
they decided to try and reach
their hotel alone and not wait
for a guide, so they set off with
the donkey.
As they stumbled along blindly
the donkey suddenly stopped and
refused to budge, All the party
could do was to huddle together
and await the arrival of a guide
three hours later, They then
found that the donkey had halted
them on the edge of a very deep
crevasse hidden by snow.
A man living in the Outjo
district of South-West Africa was
traveling to town in a cart drawn
by two donkeys when/three lions
appeared in the roadway. The
donkeys unhesitatingly charged
the lions at breakneck • speed,
dragging the cart with them.
The lions fled, leaving the
donkeys to continue their journey
peacefully.
Yes, it's a mistake to under-
rate the donkey. Most of 'the
donkeys in Britain today were
bred in Eire, but their numbers
are declining, Are donkeys doom-
ed to become extinct in this
country? a naturalist asked re-
cently,
A donkey is a comparatively
rare sight today, though down on
the south coast you can see
plenty of them taking part in the
very popular donkey race meet-
ings which were featured in a
recent Tit -Bits article.
In Victorian times hundreds
were seen in the London streets.
The old costermongers could buy
a donkey for £2 or £3 and
called him a "moke".
A census of London donkeys
a quarter of what you would
pay for a TV set — and the
returns certainly compensate for
the initial outlay. Partner and
I agreed it should be our Christ-
mas present to ourselves. Our
doctor -neighbor says It is a wise
investment; that half the coughs
and colds are the result of dry,
overheated houses. I know
Daughter has a small vaporizer
always on hand for the children.
At the first sign of a croupy
cough on goes the steamer and
it never fails to bring good re-
sults.
some years ago revealed that not
more than 50 were left, Yet in
Cape Province, South Africa, a
few years ago, donkeys were so
plentiful that they were being
sold at sixpence each.

You're Already On
,A Rocket Ship!
You may not have realized It,
but you're living on a space ship,
According to Dr, James G.
Gaume of the Martin Co-npany,
"the earth itself (is) a giant
apace ship hurtling t'irough
apace with a velocity Of 18,0
miles .Ree.second,"
This is ' why man -mads+ space
ships that are designed for
lengthy trips among the: stars
will have to simulate many of
the physical characteristics and
natural processes of the earth.
Dr. Gaume told a space medi-
eine symposium at the recent
annual meeting of the American
Association`for the Advancement
of Science that because our
Janet is such, a good space ship
its principal features paint to
those which must also be in-
cluded in man-made ships,
"On this space ship (earth),''
he explained, "we live in a
closed ecological system sealed
off by the earth's gravity from
an unfriendly environment of
apace.
"By this force of gray!.ty, oxy-
gen, water and other physically
unattached matter essential to
Me is retined at the surface
and is available for our use. The
atmosphere is also cur protector,
shielding us from such danger-
ous space phenomena as meteor-
ites, solar and cosmic sedition,
which are destroyed or attenu-
ated in passage through the at-
mosphere.
"In his attempts at flight into
hostile space, man must provide
himself with all the essentials of
Me found on earth,"
Dr, Gaume drew a distinction
between short-term space flights
and those of long duration, No-
one is sure just where this dis-
tinction should be drawn. How-
ever, as a rough guess, Dr.
• Gaume said he would draw it
at a flight time of less than two
or three weeks.
In short-term flights, some of
earth's vital functions can be
dispensed with. But all of them
will be essential to flights longer
than the two - to - three - week
Hmit,
For example, Dr. Gaume said
that for short - tei m flights
' enough oxygen, 'chen;ical carbon
dioxide absorbers, and food and
water can be stored on board ,to.'
last out the flight, writes Robert 4
C. Cower. in The Christian Sci-
ence Monitor.
But for long-term flights, -he•+
said that "the weight of such
stored materials is likely to be
jprohibitive, at least for present
and near -future propulsive sys-
tems."
Therefore ,he added, men will
have to design "a closed system
in which matter will be recycled
over and over, thereby eliminat-
ing the necessity of carrying
large quantities of stored es-
sentials and accumulating large
quantities of waste."
This business of figuratively
reproducing the earth in minia-
ture in a space ship is exceeding-
ly complex. Engineers are no-
where near to having the neces-
sary know-how to do it,
On the other hand, it seemed
to be the concbnsus among space
)research experts here that prob-
lems of reasonably short-term
o ace flight are close to being
i1Cked, And even if men are not
yet ready for the two -to -three-
week flights, trips beyond the
atmosphere are considered al-
ready feasible for brief periods.
In this connection, itwas
pointed out that Air Force Maj.
David Simons, who rode a bal-
loon to 100,000 feet, spent hours
et an altitude where for: many
'purposes, he was virtually living
in space.
It was also the consensus of

Too Much Time On Their Hands
Ministrations and portents be-
ing favorable, we called the other
evening on Red and Alice Cous-
ins, who had asked us to, and
we found out Red is a clock fan-
cier. I never knew a clock fan-
cier before, and . the evening
proved interesting, if not wholly
enjoyable. That is to say, eight
o'clock was all right, and nine
o'clock wasn't too bad, but we
left before ten, Ten o'clock
would be too much, I know,
Back in the cultural history of
Boston there was, once, a grand
festival of something or other
in which red-shirted firemen
whanged sledges on anvils for a
stirring presentation of the An-
vil Chorus, and it must have
been a lot like an evening at the
Cousins's.
Somehow, without ever bring-
ing it to the fore, I had a sub-
jugated notion that I liked clocks.
I didn't do anything about it the
way Red has, but once we had a
steeple clock with a pleasant
manifestation of the hours, and
when it collapsed I didn't throw
it away. I set it on a beam in the
barn thinking sometime I might
give it a look or two and put it
back•in service.
Truth is, I have *often thought
it might be fun to have a clock
on the kitchen shelf that runs
backwards, and chimes 22 at the
half hour, and things like that,
and 1 had a half -idea I might
-.•somehow work out such a phe-
.::pomenon. However, the clock is
Mill on the beam, and. we have
modernized our household with
an electric timepiece.
We still have a galvanized
dawn -buster in the bedroom to
start us a -jumping on the new
day. The only other clock we em-
ploy is a kitchen gadget which
doesn't strike the hours, but does
give off a chime if anybody sal-
utes the back door. It was sup-
posed to do the same for the
front door, but a wire broke and
I never fixed it. In short, we
don't pay too much attention to
the time or the front door, and
this one clock takes care of us.
Mr. Cousins, having greeted us
and undertaken a narrative, had
just said, "And there was this
bobcat bearing down on poor
Aunt Millicent, with her berry
the experts here that there is
no longer any question of men
traveling among the planets. It
Is only a question of when they
will be ready to do it. Trips
around the moon could start
within the next 20 to 30 years,
they said.
Meanwhile, as a few hand-
picked experts prepare to go ad-
venturing with the stars, the rest
of us can join in the spirit 'of
the space age by remembering
that our old familiar planet is
already the best possible space
ship that could be built,

pail stuck on over her head,
and , .
."
At this point it was eight
o'clock. There commenced a
dainty jingling from a blue Dres-
den china . contrivance on the
high -boy followed by a bellow
or alarm from a Seth Thomas in
the front hall. Then all the others
joined in, some fast, some slow-
er, all unlike, and each adjusted
to a different degree of notoriety.
Mr, Cousins, being at home,
continued to discourse, but what-
ever he said was now unheard.
My wife, after running twice
around the library table, sat
down again and looked embar-
rassed, and I found I had shoved
one of my decorous and dainty
feet between the rungs eke kind
of glass -topped stoop tale in
such a way that the table could
not remove itself and go about
its business.
Suddenly the tumult was at
an end; the last piercing echo
faded in the far confines of the
kitchen; a gentle delicacy of
friendly quiet fell over the do-
micile; and once again Mr.
Cousins's superbly modulated
voice was heard, saying, "... but
Aunt Millicent was never known
to pick another blueberry from
that time on."
This consequence raised in, lay
mind a number of questions in
social ethics. First, would it be
all right if I removed one shoe
in this polite and hospitable par-
lor in order to extricate myself,
and if so, should I inquire, first,
of my hostess if I might do so?
"May I dip my bread in the
bean juice?" is the sort of thing
I mean. I never knew a hostess
to say no to this reasonable re-
quest, however much it violates
the true rules of gentility, but
this might not be just the same.
Then there was the matter of
the oddity itself - was it proper
to turn to Mr, Cousins at this
time and ask about the state of
his mental equipment, delving
into the judgement, perspicacity,
and relative humidity of any-
body who would keep such a
conglomeration of confusion?
How does : one become a clock
fancier for real? Why does one?
And how long does it take to
learn to live with the things?
Frankly, the erudition and abil-
ity of Mr, Cousins is otherwise
revelation of this clock mena-
gerie insinuates certain doubts
which tease the guest to wild
thoughts of inquiry.
Most of all, however, I re-
flected on the story he had just
told. Never before have Mr.
Cousins's boyhood recollections,
as related first to last, been in-
terrupted in my presence, and
I know that all `of them have
been gesrts of down -East hilarity;
redolent with flavor and salty,
as they say. His gift of narrative
is extreme, and one of the fine
things about knowing him is the
chance to hear him.
Yet here was what may well
have been one of his finest ora-
tions obscured totally by the
-hour of eight, and in due process
of events it might chance that
there would never be another oc-
casion to hear this same story
through. Should I ask him to re-
peat, it, timing himself so the
neat storm of -chimes and bongs
wouldn't offend?
At nine o'clock we were ready
for the din, and I had handled
the approach so the ball was on
my side of the net when it start-
ed. I finished a sentence just as
the first bleat of the china clock
titillated the congenial scene, and
theri I closed my eyes and kept
silent throughout. When quiet
was again restored Mr. Cousins
said, "I see you have noticed
my clocks."
He then spoke about then for
a time, telling us where each had
originated and why he cherished
it, and along about a quarj.er to
ten I was able to invent several
good and sufficient reasons why
the visit should be terminated.
As we drove away, with Mr, and
Mrs. Cousinswaving from their
door, the resounding background
told us we were on time. -- By

Science Molitor.
Drive With Care
Ship's Doctor
Never At Sea
Dr. Guido Guide, of Rome,
treats more patients in a year
than a score of ordinary doctors
put together, yet he has never
seen one of them and he re-
ceives no fees for the treatment
he prescribes,
The reason is that this sixty -
year -old Italian physician -is a
ship's doctor who never goes to
Lea. He treats his many sailor
patients entirely by short-wave
radio, and he gives his services
voluntarily.
Dr. Guida, startedhis free
medical service for sailors back
in 1935 when he heard that the
crews• of many ships at sea lack-
ed medical aid. The authorities
approved of his idea, and for
the short-wave sending and re-
ceiving set fitted up in his sur-
gery he was allotted the call
sign MEDRAD (Medical Radio)
and CIRM (International Centre
Radio Doctor).
So, to -day, if a sailor in a
merchantman at sea is stricken
with an illness, the treatment of
which is beyond the captain's
resources, he can call up MED -
RAD CIRM for expert advice.
If reception in Rome is poor
other ships will relay his mes-
sage. The captain can then de-
scribe the patient's symptoms
so the doctor can make a diag-
nosis and prescribe treatment.
By keeping in radio touch with
the ship the doctor can follow
the course of the ailment.
Britain, too, has a free radio
medical service for ships at sea.
Operated by the Post Office
Radio Stations at Land's End
and Portishead, this free "med-
ico service" enables ships' cap-
tains to seek expert medical ad-
vice and assistance at any time
of the day or night.
Early one morning the duty
operator at Portishead Radio
Station received an emergency
call from a British freighter
ploughing through stormy seae
in the Atlantic. A sixteen -year-
old deck boy had been suddenly
taken ill, and the captain radi-
oed the lad's symptoms and
asked for advice.
The operator immediately got
in touch with a local hospital
and within an hour signalled
the diagnosis of appendicitis re-
quiring prompt surgery. No
other ship in the freighter's vi-
cinity possessed a doctor or sur-
gical facilities, so the ship head-
ed for an Irish port at full
speed. Arrangements were made
for a helicopter to meet her at
sea, if necessary.
But she made harbour, landed
the patient by launch and he
was successfully operated on.
The whole drama, in which the
radio medico service played a
.vital part in saving the boy's
life, lasted for three and a half
days,
The Last Score
Soine years ago, a well-heeled
Wall Streeter noted that leadinr.
newspapers, on the first Sunday
of the football season, carried
a staggering array of scores, a
majority of the games involving
colleges he never had heard
about. He decided to phone the
sports desk a few statistics of his
own. The following Sunday,
papers all over the country car-
ried an' account of the victory
of Plainfield leachers of New
Jersey over Scott, with a clever
Chinese ,back named Chung re-
sponsible for the margin of vic-
tory. -
Plainfield Teachers, Scott and
the dauntless Chung were but
figments of the Wall Streeter's
imagination, which grew more
vivid as the season progressed.
