For Girls and Boy's THEY LAUGH AT BLISTERS — "Grandma Walker" Court and her donkey, 'Uranium," consider that a big joke's afoot as they prepare to walk the 150 miles of road between Kennewick and Spokane. Grandma will have travelled twice the distance by the time she finishes the jaunt, as she'll lead Uranium for a few miles, then backtrack to pick up her auto, meet Uranium, and take off on foot once, again, All this in preparation for a cover- ed-wagon tour in search of inspiration for her paintings.. it was let to a deserting officer from the ,ielperor Napoleon's army to discover the possibilities of eultivating, them in under- ground quarries. ffiding over a periodt l ofthe etrees=eil eSettle and from Which Innen Of the stonearibut‘scied .tnigl Itiaikeeil over lmildirig sear ov turies, this wieye soldier noticed the rapid deeeletneent'of mush-, rooms 'in' that particular corner e of the quarry *.here he stabled his horse, .'writes Ane 'Barry in The ,Chrigtiaff Selenee McMitor; An 1.1 terl?FlOnfl niati;he Made contact wit!;9elgeal farmer' who undertook to,riearket tele mush- rooms he pdititiCed in his hide- gut, wheal' :today 'one Of the many underground sites where market-gardepers still grqw, mush! oomd. So great is the ele- mend in France alone that 44 million Pounds .aree•sielie annu-: ally, while about' IEY' million poorids > are exported to the United States, to Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Great Bri- tain, and far-elf colonies and dominions, as well as to most of the South American states. Some 600 mushroom growers strive to maintain this output, mainly in caves, and quarries in the Paris district, as well as in certain other parts of France. The darkness, even temperature, and moist atmosphere of the un- derground areas make them spe- cially suited to encourage the mushroom "spawn" which is planted along the top and sides of monuds or •rows of compost. These are then covered with a layer of fine chalky earth or sand, obtained afresh for each "sowing," from the walls of the eaves and quarries. About six weeks after "sow- ing," or introduction of the spawn into the rows of compost, the first mushrooms appear. They are gathered each day as they come to maturity and dis- patched at speed to the markets. - In recent years their nutritive value has been extolled and the varied manners in which they can be used have multiplied.. For instanc e, finely-sliced, raw mushrooms, flavored with lem- on, or any other salad dressing, are 'frequently served for hors d'oeuvres. "Champignoris a la Greque," simmered in vinegar and water, seasoned with peppers and to- matoes before being allowed to cool invite an olive-oil dressing and are popular in most French Yes, She Has Some Bananas—Eats 10,000 a Year. Because she suffers from a rare stomach complaint, five- year-old Susan Morgan of Pon- chatoula, Louisiana, has eaten almost 20,000 bananas since her third birthday. It is reckoned that she -will have eaten about 70,000 by the time she is ten years old, and she will have to go right on eating bananas at a steady rate until she is fifteen. The banana problem in the. Morgan familye is so acute that the State Welfare Board has granted Susan's father eight dol- lars a month to buy bananas for the little girl. Doctors hope the complaint will disappear by the Haile' she turns fifteen. fad4OLA Nothing prettier for play than these adorable little" baby seta Sewing a cinch — embroiders too!

Farm houseS W- ounded with aging trees; old apple orchards; cows drinking down at the creek; bulirushes in the swam p: recl.winged blackbirds darting in and out among the willows — on our farm we never see a red-winged bitekbird at all. Weigh the ad- vantages against the disadvan- tages and what have you? I stall don't know. I suppese a lot ' de- pends upon what one Wants and one's ability to, cope with disad- vantages. I have in mind one farm, the home of an elderly couple, They have cattle, but there is no milking — ;hart- horn calves are left with the cows. A never-failing stream provides water in the tree- shaded pasture. A few hens, on free range, supply the house with eggs, Occasionally a hen lays away and comes out with a clutch of fluffy chicks. It seems like an ideal set-up — a type of farming, if you can call it that, that is just a way of living. But then you come to the house . . . no hydro, no, la- bour-saving devices, a lovely garden and all kinds of house- plants but at night juSt a coal- oil lamp to lighten the darkness — to say nothing of outdoor plumbing. No, I just couldn't take it. In this day and ages tthat 'is' pastoral living carried extremes. It seems to me people past middle life need the amenities of mod- ern living even though they bury themselves in the woods. However, the foregoing are just imaginary problems. The difficulties we, have to deal with today are real . . . but very! Last week 'Partner sold all the milking cows to one buyer. The trucker was to pick them up first thing this morning. It is .now mid-morning and he still hasn't arrived -- and we have two men waiting to help load. However, we just got a phone cal] to say he would be here right after dinner. So here we are, just on edge, waiting around until - the truck comes — while the cows Wait patiently down in their stalls, little knowing this is the last day they will spend in surroundings that have beeh familiar to them since calfhood. It is a very hot day, which doesn't make things easier:How- ever, we understand the truck is air-conditioned, padded and separated into several compart- ments -with two men in charge who know how to deal with cattle. So maybe the cows will be cooler on the road' then they would be in the pasture. In the meantime they are cool and comfortable in the stable. At a time like this I can't help think- ing of the difference between dealing with animate and inani- mate things. If we were Selling a car or a piece of equipment it wouldn't trotter much when the buyers came for their purchase. But cows are creatures of flesh and blood so we naturally have some concern for their welfare, How anyone 'could fee] other- wise I don't know. And' aftsr the cattle are gone no cows for Partner to.

Elaborate * hair-do's may be in order as * the years creep up, but in the * teens they are out, After all, * the hair should be only the * background for her face. * Watch the rouge, Many a * girl's fresh beauty is, cheap- * ened by its use' her natural • coloring is usually snificient, * Face powder must be carefully • matched with the skin and ap- • plied with the lightest touch, * As to lipstick, be on guard, * Delicate coloring needs the '0 faintest rose treatment, not the • crimson slash. A good cologne * is always refreshing, but never ' fall for cheap perfume, it's * a dead giveaway. Light cleansing cream and * a delicate soap keep the nor- * mal ekin in condition. Smart girls watch their diet, and will * not coarsen or irritate the skin * through use of heavy fats or * too many sweets. Pencil-like • eyebrows went out long ago. * Brows can be brushed into * shape and a light oil will en- * courage them to stay that * way. Mascara, of course, is for- * bidden. * A deodorant is a must. A • weekly manicure is important; * most girls learn to do it them- * selves, following the nail's na- tural shape and treating the " cuticle gently. * When in doubt, the smart * girl consults a reliable beauty * salon and puts herself in their * care.

S. Dress and manners can make or unmake your reputation. Wise is the teen-ager who takes good taste as her modal, and never offends against it. If this is one of your family arguments, tell Anne Hirst about it and read her opinion; it has guarded many a nice girl against being misunder- stood.

Most of the builders concen- trate on midget 'planes. Some build from the ground up, others smarten up factory-built ships. Norman G. Bluhm, president of the Cleveland group, is work- ing on a wrecked 1932 Mono- Coupe which he bought for $325.1 "When I finish I'll have a 'plane worth twelve hundred dollars. It will out-perform the current commercia f- small 'planes.

The Civil Aeronautics Ad- ministration. keeps a stern but fatherly eye on the goings on. Once out 'of the garage, an ex- perimental ship must pass a progression of ground and air tests. A good 'plane can be li- censed, finally; for everything but hauling commercial passen- gers. West Coast members built a 'plane so light it had to be hook- ed to the nearest man-hole cov- er to prevent it from taking off while being started. The pilot flew it lying on his stomach.
