Spent Honeymoon
On Ocean Bpd
It Was the attractive, blue-
eyed blonde's wedding day -''hut
she had failed to tarn up at the
country chureh. The young
American bridegroom with hie
best man, looking strained and
shifting nervously from one foot
to another. What had happened
to the girl he loved?
Near-by sat two bridesmaids,
almost on the verge of Ware be-
cause of the bride's non-appear-
ance. She was already fifteen
minutes late, having planned to
drive alone in her oar to the
church from her town flat 30
miles away.
The best man, after consulting
the bridegroom, decided to ring
a police station near the girl's
flat, fearing she had met with
an accident, Meanwhile the
wedding guests grew main
fidgety.
Another 20 minutes bad passed
when a policeman suddenly ap-
peared with news he had just
received from police in the
bride's home town, She had
been found fast asleep in the
little country bungalow where
the couple had secretly planned
to spend a week's honeymoon!
The bungalow had been lent
to them by a mutual friend who
had gone abroad for a holiday.
On the eve of her wedding the.
bride had impulsively decided to
drive to the bungalow 'to put
some finishing touches to it.
Feeling exhausted after the
strain of wedding preparations,
she lay down for "a little rest",
and at once dropped into a
sleep from which she did not
awake until a police car drew
up outside. The police had got
a clue to her whereabouts from
a pump attendant who had sold
her gasoline on the previous
evening.
The police whisked the bride
to her flat where she changed
hurriedly into her wedding gown.
Then she was. rushed to the
church where the ceremony was
performed at one p.m. instead of
ten a.m., the time originally
arranged.
Some adventurous couples de-
liberately seek adventure and
excitement on their honeymoons.

J. E. Williamson when he pro-
posed to Miss Lilah Freelands,

One of the worst misfortunes
that OD befall a bride is to
lose her trousseau. This nearly
happened to a comely Man-
cheater bride who, with her
groom, was already on board the
boat-train en route for the
United States when she die-
(levered that the porter at the
hotel where they had „stayed
overnight had sent somebody
else's luggage instead of her
own,
The hotel manager was tele-
phoned and, just five minutes be-
fore the liner was due 10 sail, the
ease was rushed on board.
A faulty lock on another un-
lucky bride's honeymoon trunk
led to trouble. She and her hus-
band had travelled 3() miles on
their motoring honeymoon in
North Wales when the bride
chanced to look behind and
found that the trunk on the old-
fashioned luggage grid was open
and that all her troussea had
vanished.
The couple turned back and
found the roadway for several
miles strewn with dainty gar-
menu!
When it comes to choosing a
place to spend a honeymoon.
some young couples seem dogged
by bad luck, While on honey-
moon at a souch coast hotel, a
former famous footballer and
his bride heard a noise on the
floor of their room . . . then a
man crawled out from under the
bed.
He had robbed the bride of
jewellery which he had found
in her handbag while the room
was temporarily empty. Hearing
the .couple returning to the room,
he hid under the bed, but had
later become cramped and de-
cided to reveal his presence.- He
was handed over to the 'police.
Another bride made the dis-
turbing discovery that her hus-
band was a burglar. On each
night of their honeymoon he
waited until she' was asleep and
then crept out to burgle villas
in the fashionable resort where
they were staying. On the last
night she awoke to find him
sitting on the edge of, the bed
counting a wad of banknotes
which he had stolen from a fel-
low guest at their honeymoon
hotel, She left her husband next
day, vowing never to see him
again until he had given up his
life of crime.
An'American couple in Cleve-
land, Ohio, faced flood, fire and
lightning on their honeymoon.
In the middle of their wedding
night the basement room- where
they were sleeping was flooded
when heavy rain caused a river
to burst its banks.
Young newlyweds who chose
an island in mighty Lake Vic-
toria took honeymoon' jabs as
caretakers of a disused fishing
station there, with hippos,
leopards and vultures for com-
pany. Hungry crocodiles waited
in the swamps of their honey-
moon island and its leafy jungle
hid Africa's deadliest snake,
Said the young bride: "We
loved it. I didn't mind the animals
a • bit, but I disliked the ants.
The house where we stayed was
full of them and I had to stand
all the food in tins of water."
Another newly married pair
spent an 18-month honeymoon
going round the world in a
08-ft. motor boat. The bride took'
her turns at the wheel when
their mutinous crew threatened.-
to desert because of the perils
and hardships they had to face.
The newlyweds landed on one
island where they had to ex•

attacking them. They also fought

An uncle, thinking back over
a long lifetime of sturdy affairs,
used to say the hardest, worst,
meanest memory of all was com-
ing home from school in the
gray afternoon of a winter's day,
to bundle up. in every possible
garment, and go forth to stand
in the windway between the
house and barn and chain-pump
the water for 47 cows, 16 young
stock, four horses, ten sheep, and
a bull—and enough more to car-
ry in pails to slop the hogs. My
uncle said he never honestly got
so he could approach this labor
with open-faced joy, although he
never shirked until' he was old
enough to run away from home.
,,The common sink-shelf, pump
Was itself a miracle. It defied
natural laws. There is a recol-
lection of some such figure as 32,
for the length of a column of
water balaneed by atmospheric
pressure, but also e'codicil to this
because of friction and, unco-
operative: factors, amounting to,,
seems-if, 28 feet. .But they also
used to say about 22, if you
really wanted water. True lab-
• oratory conditions and domestic
purposes were not always wed-
ded.
Anyway, if you had a well 16,
feet deep, containing three feet
of water, and it sat down over
the knoll, and your house was
on granite underpinning, and
your sink shelf was three feet
off the floor — the fact that your
pump worked was a miracle.
You could stare° the physicist
in the eye and pump water; yet
every schoolbok said you
couldn't.
I do not know why this was
so, particularly with the added
problem of "rundown". A pump
ing these parts was always ar-
ranged so it leaked back into the
well and stayed dry except when
you drew water. True, we knew
about foot-valves on the lower
end of the pipe, but we also
knew that a pipe with water in
it would be frozen come morn-
ing, at least between August and.
June. Foot-valves would be ail
right in Equatorial Africa, but
not so good in Maine.
We did not use foot-valves,
and we also cut a smallish notch
in the pump leather, inside the
barrel, so there would be a leak-
back, This notch didn't spoil
the suction action too much, but
it kept pipes from freezing under
the sink,
A typical household noise was
the pump "running down".
You'd get yourself a drink and
go back to the rocker with your
National Tribune to see if the
pension had been increased, and
you'd hear the pump gurgle and
wheeze, and then it would glug
and blup, and the handle would
lift to an east-west position, and
after about ten minutes of gasp-
ing and straining, the pump
would suddenly go "Grooinp!"
and be still, The water had run
down.
It would be quiet in the old
kitchen after that, except for the
fielding of the clock and wood
snapping in the stove and

"Love Potions"
Still Popular
Young American sailors from
a warship anchored off Cannes,
on the French Riviera, were seen
sitting in a cafe and swallowing
a mysterious yellow powder.
Security men heard of the in-
cident and decided to investigate.
They approached one of the sail-
ors next day and said: "What's
that stuff you were seen taking
in the cafe last evening?"
The' sailor hesitated, blushed,
then said with a half-smile: "It
was a love potion. I bought it for
eight dollars from a North Afri-
can who was peddling it on the
quay when I was on leave, I
have no special girl friend and
he told me that by swallowing
it I would find a sweetheart with-
in two days and fall head over
heels in love with her."
The intrigued security men de-
cided to send samples of the so-
called love potion to be analysed,
It proved to be simply milk choc-
olate powder to 'which the North
African had added a little ex-
otic perfume.
The security men later found
that the powder could be pur-
chased in the local shops for ten
-cents a packet.
There's a surprising increase
in the popularity of love potions
these days. Stories are being told
of girls and young men in many
parts of the world who take var-
ious concoctions, firmly believ-

A Wiltshire mother living in
a country cottage awoke at mid-
night some months ago to hear
her seventeen-year-old daughter
stealthily descending the creak-
ing stairs to the kitchen.

found her pretty, rosy-cheekell

squeezed from "love apples," the
old name of tomatoes.
When her mother appeared,
the girl explained what the idea
was. "It's a love potion, Mum. I
read about it in an old book on
love charms, It said that any
girl swallowing it, after prepar-
ing the mixture at midnight on
a Friday, will find a husband
Within three months."
Her mother wouldn't "swal-
low" that story. "What utter non-

ly forbade her daughter to drink
the mixture and vowed to tell
her father about what had hap-
pened,

Good Old Days When
Pumps Were Pumps
If, as may be — sort of — an
overcritical attitude toward tele
vision creeps in here, it is not
so much that television causes
comment; but rather that tele-
vision so often puts me in mind
of something. I go off into placid
ruminations of my own, some-
times extending the, transient
half-hour to a week or so. Tele-
vision itself is beside the point.
It is an electronic tip-off.
happened again this time with
the pump.
The young man depicting a
disturbed rural citizen beset
with' perplexities, not exactly
typical as of my experiences,
dashed into, the picture with a
wooden bucket, pumped briskly
(in the handle about four times,
and rushed off again with the
pail slopping water all over
everything.
A lot, of country people would
greatly appreciate a pump like
that.
Most conundrums have a
simple answer. I figure this tele-
vision pump was really a painted
length of styrofoam, attached to
a plank on the stage, and that
a highly paid technician in the
wings turned on a valve to .let
water flow at 80 pounds pressure
from the distant city reservoir.
The pumps in my life were
never so productive, and a pail
of water came much harder. I
am glad, however, I was born
after the chain pump era, and
never had that kind in my re-
grets. I have heard about them,
for whenever I objected to pump-
ing so much, some old - timer
would step forward to tell me
I was lucky — I should have
known the chain pump. The chain
pump was real grief.
The chain pump had a crank
instead of a lever, with an end-
less cable that passed down into
the well and came up again
through a pipe. On the cable
were cups, and as they passed up
through the pipe they brought
water with them, except some-
times. The cups and the pipes
would wear, and ordinary grav-
ity would dissipate the water on
its way up.
The crank was not geared—a
little thought about gears might
have made it more efficient. You
had no speed ratio, to step up the
action. Mostly, the water which
