Those tall sodas that used to
be preceded by a slow walk to
the fountain on the corner may
now be made at home by all
teenagers who want to drink
them while looking at TV. Be
sure to lay in a supply of straws,
tall glasses, long -handled spoons,
sparkling water', sirups, fruits,
and ice cream. Then keep the
come -and -get -it" bell ringing
whenever the crowd gathers.

TINY HEATER IS HOT ITEM — The Fiesta drive-in restaurant,
is the first such place located in the cold zone of the U.S. to be
equipped to operate, on a year-round basis. Secret is those
"boxes" extending over the restaurant's 50 drive-in bays.
Inside each is a new heater that can warm up both patrons
and carhops who attend them. This is by means of tiles only
1'/z by 2 inches in size. They are porus, and by an infrared
process each can throw upwards of 1600 degrees of heat
against an object without heating the air between. A German
invention, it has been used throughout Europe for such pur-
poses 05 cooking, heating factories and melting ice.
KILL11. MTCKF
She was obviously pretty—
much too ' pretty, some might
think, to be alone on the first-
class deck as the cross -Channel
steamer ploughed through the
choppy sea from Newhaven to
Dieppe on that boisterous spring
day.
And suddenly, although she
loved the sea, she began to feel
unwell. She staggered a little.
A moment later a young man,
a stranger, appeared on deck and
proffered h e r some brandy.
Gratefully, she swallowed some.
She was feeling too i11 to note
the young man's face. And as
she herself was "muffled up"
against the wind, he could catch
no more than a glimpse of hers.
He did not return to claim his
flask and she was obliged to
keep it. Often, afterwards, she
wondered about the identity of
the gallant stranger.
Four years passed. She was
introduced to a handsome young
London business man. They fell
in love and married.
Their honeymoon journey took
them across the Channel. Being
a poor sailor still, the young wife
soon began to feel the motion of
the boat.
I-Ier husband offered to go and
procure some brandy, but she
said faintly: "Open my dressing -
case, darling, you'll find a flask
in there."
Quickly he did so—and then
exclaimed in amazement: "Why,
this is my flask. I gave it to a
girl on the Channel crossing
some years ago, and I forgot to
collect it."
An almost incredible coinci-
dence—but it happens to be
true. For the long arm of coinci-
dence is as long to -day as ever
it was. It reaches across time
and Space in an amazing way.
For instance, when two cars
collided a few weeks ago, the
drivers introduced themselves.
Each was named Cyril White.
Each lived in Yorkshire, but
sixty miles apart.
Said a local police official
when the coincidence came to
his notice: "It was a chance in
a million that two men with the
same name should meet for the
first time in such a manner."

LIFT
How a man recovered a valu-
able gold bracelet which was
stolen from his Essex home while
he was on holiday was described
in a London police court.
After his return from holiday
he was serving behind the coun-
ter of his employer's jewellery
shop in the city when a shifty -
eyed man entered and offered
to sell a bracelet—the very one
that had been stolen. The un-
lucky thief was handed over to
the police.
On a windy March day during
the first world war a Highgate,
London, man sat with a number
of other men outside a. dug -out
on the dockside at Dunkirk. Sud-
denly a piece of paper fell at his
feet.
It was one of hundreds of
pieces that were floating about
in the air, and came from a ship
which was unloading a consign-
ment of waste paper,
Glancing at the paper, the man
was astonished to see his own
name written on it, It was part
of a memorandum sent by his
father, a railway inspector, to
his bead office.
That fugitive scrap of paper,
part of a Government purchase
from the railway companies, had
come from London.
"That it should fall at 111)) feet,
although there were liemdrecls of
us there, was simply amazing,"
declared the man, when relating
the coincidence.
One of the most remarkable
birth coincidences on record
concerns the family of Mrs.
White, a Fareham (Hants) wo-
man.
She became the proud mother
of six children, all of whom
celebrate their birthday anni-
versary on the same day. A
daughter was born on July 27th,
1886, triplets were born on July
27th, 1901, and twins were born
on July 27th, 1902. What is
equally amazing is that al] were
born between four and five
o'clock in the morning.
Before leaving London on a
business trip to the United
States, Mr. V. Saville made ex-
haustive but unsuccessful in-
quiries as to the wherebouts
there of a relative whom he had
not seen for years.
Fresh business called him from
New York to Los Angeles. Some
hours after the train had left
New York, lie entered the
crowded dining -car and took the
only vacant seat—opposite the
very relative all his inquiries
had failed to trace.
"The odds were tremendous
against such a meeting in the
middle of the American contin-
ent," Mr. Saville commented
afterwards.
Lord Rotherham told in 1945
the story of how, when he was
visiting Japan with a cousin,
they each bought a cigarette
case on which they had their
initials engraved.
"Sixteen years later, while
walking on the grass beside a
moorland red in Derbyshire, I
kicked a piece of metal," said
Lord Rotherham. "It turned out
to be the case my cousin had
bought all those years before.
Drive With Care
'.`My cousin, who lived twenty
miles from the spOt where the
cigarette case was found, had
motored over the road three
weeks Previously and the case
must have dropped out of his
car."
An American now serving a
seven years' jail sentence for
the manslaughter of his wife's
lover ran from his home on the
fatal day scarcely realizing what
he had done, He wandered about
aimlessly, his mind bemused.
He staggered as he crossed a '
road and was nearly run down
by a passing car. The driver,
seeing he was 'near collapse,
helped him stop a passing ambu-
lance,
The American got into it. Then
he recoiled as he saw the other
"passenger." It was the man he
had killed a quarter of an hour
before.
Yet another tragic coincidence
was revealed in France.
A young man became so 'ad-
dictedto wine and women that
his father, a rich Lyons business
man, turned him out of his house
and disinherited him.
The son committed a series of
robberies with violence during
the next four years.
Then the father retired from
business and made his home at
Chareafton on the outskirts of
Paris. •°
One misty night the old man
was walking along the banks of.
the Seine, thinking bitterly of
the past and wondering what
had happened to his dissolute
son, when he was suddenly at-
tacked from behind.
He put up a fight and was
stabbed by his attacker who be-
gan to search the dying man for
money and other valuables.
As he bent over him, the
father recognized his son. "Ohl
Pierre!" he gasped—and died.
The son walked to the nearest
gendarme and gave himself up.
His confession showed beyond
doubt that he had been unaware
of his victim's identity when he
waylaid him, nor did he know
his father had come to live in
the Paris area.
The earliest use of wool as
textile is not known, however,
people of Babylon had already
mastered the arts of spinning
and weaving wool cloth in 300
B,C.

but she directed the cooks, and

watch her, now frowning and

With a severe and critical an-
she smelt or tasted the names

fish -paste, verbena or whatever
seemed needed to give that final
flavor. With a wide and noble
gesture she refused badly pre-
pared coconut -milk or a scraw-
ny chicken. With noisy indig-
nation she condemned a cluck -
egg that was found to be not
quite fresh. And when at last
" the dishes were finally prepared
she would invite me, as I sat
there looking on, to taste and
comment Was there enough
salt? she would ask earnestly.
Was it sharp enough? Perhaps
a little more ginger, or a squaeee
more of lime juice.
Her dishes were endless: fish
baked in banana leaves; anteater
stewed and served in a bamboo
tube; lobster in a sauce of co-
conut -cream; sea turtle in a
sauce of crushed peanuts; skew-
ers of birds no larger than
bumblebees (could they be
hummingbirds? I wondered , as
I took three at one bite) , , .

took up the drum.
When at last the lesson came
