There wag also the case of the Dutch airman who bailed out When he heard the radio voice of his squadron commander saying, "Henk, yonr plane is on fire!" As Henk Vertdrig floated down he watched hi plane glide and crash with no sign of flames -- then learned it was Henk Van Domrnelen's plane that got scorched before a ground crew put out the blaze, Perhaps the moral is to fly a sport plane. At the Norfolk, Vir- ginia, municipal airport the other day a light plane smashed a landing wheel in taking off. On instructions, from the control tower the pilot circled around until the manager of the com- pany that had rented the plane could take an automobile on the field, racing down the runway. After several passes ,,,together and with two occupants reaching out of the car to hold the wing struts, the pilot landed safely on the one good wheel with the opposite wing, resting on the top of the car.

Three teenagers were recently charged will arson at Savage, Maryland. They were ail sweet on the daughter of the head' fire- man and strongly resented being ejected from the house by him. So they hit upon the idea of setting fire to an indoor race track, reasoning that the fire would keep him busy for some time, thus enabling them to pro- long their stay at his house! The scheme worked; but they lived. to regret it by languishing in jail. A Tokyo court recently sent- enced a glamorous Japanese girl to four years in jail for killing her lover with a kiss. She held a farewell tryst with her boy friend at a hotel, It was his idea that they should break up "I would rather die than lose you!" she declared, and so saying took a swig from a bottle of soda water laced with cyanide, ners of a corn-meal sprinkled baking sheet.

LANGUAGE • Two students from a Canadian college who made a motor tour of the United States last summer report that their blazers seemed to arouse some curiosity among the people they met. The blazers bear the' college's Latin motto, Timor Dei principium' sapientiae —"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom." The curiosity was explained. when an Oklahoma waitress asked them: "Where are you-all from?" "Canada," they answered.

As many fathers as mothers— many women are employed in the company's two Tennessee plants —.. take the books home. The result has been fantastic, Children actually desert radio and TV to be read to aloud. The employees, some of whom had never done much reading them- selves, now want books for ad- ufts stocked, too. Gilbert W. Chapman, president of the company and chairman of the National Book Committee, tells about the experiment in. the December Harper's. His finding is the same as that of many of today's parents and grandparents who were brought up in homes where reading aloud was com- monplace. In such homes it is not unusual for a toddler of two, the moment either father or mother sits dawn, to trot to them with one, of his little picture books and his mis- pronounced command: "Weed." These families have found that youngsters thus encouraged learn to read before they are of school age, and form reading habits that last through life, broadening their horizons and affording un- told pleasure. From experiences like these and the experiment in Gallatin, the conclusion seems inescapable that the responsibility for teach- ing children to read lies along- side so many others — in the lap of the parents. — Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.

For where else can they forget international tensions, gasoline restrictions and heating problems? Where else can they display their mink-lined sports coats, last- minute skiing clothes. Dior gowns and diamond necklaces? Reports from St. Moritz and Gstaad, the ultra-smart winter resorts, indicated Switzerland has open arms for the gay band of moneyed European aristoc- racy as well as all the others who can afford winter vacations to the tune of around $200 a clay. It costs a small fortune to spend a couple of weeks indulg- ing in these high-level frolics, but the smart set is never both- ered by such• considerations. St. Moritz's swank Palace Hotel' is booked to capacity with a large sprinkling of Italian princes and other bluebloods, as. Well as movie stars and people whose only claim to fame is their fortune.

A woman at dinner one night annoyed him greatly. "Sir Ar- thur, do tell me the solution. Mysterious thefts at my home disturb me. Only last week there were taken a broom, a box of golf-balls, a left riding boot, a dictionary and six tinplates." "Madan', there is no mystery, You keep a goat." In Alaska They Make Apple Pie Without, Apples It Was the monthly PetlUoit meeting of our Homesteaders Catt-Acquainted Club, The dine per table: was filled with ape, cialties from the various mem- teas, As it was harvest time here °the fertile KetelnlaelcW Valley oil .Alaska, Want. recipes, were baSed on the crops most 'abun- dant in each home garden. As cabbage grows so well and is so sweet and tender, ,it was used in a number of ways.'There was cola slaw, cabbage roll-ups, and creamed cabbage with cheese. Vegetable salads contain- ing fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cu- cumbers, and green peppers were especially enjoyed by peo- ple to whom such things are luxuries except for a few months each summer. There were dishes containing other vegetables which grow so rapidly and well during the long summer days—beans, peas, car- rots, onions, rutabagas, celery, turnips radishes, beets, a n d spinach. Fragrant rolls and loaves of bread proved that most of these women who regularly bake their own bread, have learned the knack of obtaining tasty, crusty, tender loaves. The many types of berries available i n the woods were dis- played in their many uses; raw cranberry relishes, raspberries in gelatine, blueberries, straw- berries, and currants. The jams and jellies we serve often con- tain juice of the wild rose hips which Alaskan homemakers are urged to utilize. In the center of the table were two luscious pies. Oranges, ap- ples, and other fruits flown ,in from the outside are available, but are not usually purchased when our berries are so plenti- ful. The one who baked the pies asked if everyone had tasted: them. When the answers were all in the affirniative, she asked if they had really tasted like ap- ple pies. Everyone enthusiasti- cally assured her they were sim- ply delicious. Then she made the unbelievable statement that they had not contained a single piece of apple, Everyone was silent for a mo- ment, because each was sure that she had just finished a piece of one of the best-known des- serts. -Then came the guesses. Was it mushroom pie? Many of us were learning the edible mushrooms and knew there were many uses for them. 'Was it rhubarb?" Most peo- ple couldn't even guess. She held out until the end of the meeting and then gave us each a copy of the recipe. The answer just didn't seem possible. The recipe listed crackers, boiled with sug- ar, water, cream of tartar, and cinnamon. She had heard it over the radio on a homemaker's pro- gram. As soon as I was able to ob- tain some cream of tartar, which have firmly resolved to keep on hand, I tried the recipe. One taste showed me that the unbe- lievable recipe was the one she had followed in making the pies. I do not know if this is a new recipe or not, but I decided that since The Christian Science Monitor goes into so mann homes, many in places where fresh fruits are not readily ab- Women not only drive as well as men . . . they can do it on either side of the road. For many years the Saar has produced an annual set of semi- postal stamps honoring its wel- fare charities. The additional values on the stamps go toward the upkeep of these organiza- tions. This year's set from the Saar is composed of three stamps, each one bearing a world-fa- mous painting. The 5 franc plus 3 depicts Leonardo da Vinci's "La Belle Ferronniere" which now hangs in the Louvre in Paris. The 10 fr plus 5 shows "Saskia" by Rembrandt which now is in the Kaiser -Frederick Museum in Berlin. The 15 fr plus 7 pic- tures a portion of a tainting of the "van Berchem Family" by Frans Florin. It is in the mu- seum at Liar, Belgium. 0.' 4 In 1934 Bulgaria issued a spe- cial miniature sheet honoring its "Shipken Pass Memorial." Only 100 of these sheets containing six stamps were issued, of which 79 were sold. The other 21 'sheets were given to the Bul- garian royal family and new are in the philatelic museum there.
