Fancy Waistcoats
Like so many people who are
not wholly indigenous, Disraeli
was founder of England and the
English way of life than were:
the natives of the island. His
letters display a keen appreei-
•+tion of the scenery and the great
country -houses, though the av-
erage Englishman may have felt
that his estimates were expressed
too ornately. "Good -.bye, my dear
Lord," he once said after a visit
to Lord Shaftesbury, "you have
given me the privilege of seeing
bne of the most impressive of alt
spectacles: a great English noble-
man living in patriarchal state in
his own hereditary halls," , . •
Disraeli's home life was almost
restricted to Hughenden.. • .
One Asiatic touch was provided
by the peecoeks on the terrace.
"My dear lady, you cannot have
terraces without peacocks," said
Dizzy to a guest; and certainly
he could not. Perhaps the only
other hint of the East came from
the host himself, whose clothes
were not those of a typical Brit-
ish squire. The fancy waistcoats
that had been abandoned in Lon-
don reappeared in the country,
looking even more remarkable
by contrast with a black velve-
teen jacket and a Tyrolese hat,
A rumor reached his friend
Beresford in December, 1850 that
he was growing a fierce pair of
moustaches. "Now this is very
sad," wrote Beresford to Stanley,
"for he is not the person who

joyed talking to them, finding
their conversation racy, their
manners restful and agreeable,
He particularly liked the society
of woodmen, whose knowledge,
speech, quick observation and
common sense appealed strongly
to him, .. , "Nature whispers to
them many of her secrets," he
noted. "A forest is like an ocean,
monotonous only to the ignorant.
It is a life ' f ceaseless va-
riety."
He loved his trees and was
constantly planting new ones, es-
pecially cedars, firs and pines:
"I have a passion for books and.
trees. 1 like to look at then.

many things are happening these clays to simplify
0.j the bed -making task that keeping up with them re-
quires real attention to the subject at hand. Fitted sheets,
top and bottom; lightweight blankets In gay plane and
pastels for summer, anti lilted blankets are some of the
many bonuses for the homemaker.
Newest of these is a bed -covering bedspeead developed by a
firm of famous blanket makers, it's a handsome bedspread on
one side and e fleecy, brush -nap blanket on the other. This
eliminates the need for both a blanket and spread. This cuts
down the entire bed -making operation too, and coupled with fitted
sheets, practically reduces the whole matter to a flip of the wrist,
It keeps the bedrooms looking neat and pares expenses too.
Furthermore, you can choose this blanket -spread In any one of
contrasting decorator colors and in twin or double sizes. You ran
treat it to a hand -laundering or pop it into your machine since
it's guaranteed against shrinkage and is color fast.
Sides of this blanket -spread are handsomely fringed, The top
and foot have luxurious eight -inch binding which matte it a
pleasure to own.

He had a favorite beech walk et

what he called a German Forest

he could enjoy the views, There

Slave Trade Is
Still Booing
A young girl, scarcely in het
teens, steps fearfully on to the
auction block. While she stands
motionless, only her eyes betray-
ing her fear and apprehension,
the prospective buyers—shrewd,
dusky -complexioned, hawk-eyed
men—mill around her.
Most of these buyers are put' -
chasing the dusky damsels (sel-
dom more than thirteen or four-
- teen years of age) for resale, at a
handsome profit, to distant clients.
It is all reminiscent of a savage,
sordid scene from the Middle
Ages, before the tawdry traffic in
human bodies was condemned and
outlawed by the civilized world.
Yet it still takes place to -day.
When the auctions are over the
carefully guarded human cargo is
smuggled north to the many rich
markets on the southern shores of
the Mediterranean and the Le-
vant. If the market in these areas
happens to be at a low ebb at the
time, then they may be sold as
servants in middle-class homes.
Missionaries' Difficult Task
The latter method is becoming
an increasingly common practice
in some quarters. Inflation is not a
condition peculiar to Occidental
cotntrie's. The rising cost of liv-
ing has hit many previously
wealthy men in the areas which
- provide the best market for this
t o r r i b 1 e traffic. Consequently
many can no longer afford the •
considerable expense involved in
the maintenance of a harem with
a bevy of lovely but idle girls. So
a houseful of pretty servants is
often the highly satisfactory an-
swer.
This bartering of young natives
is not confined to the more ob-
scure and primitive areas of the
country. Some time ago a scandal
blew up in Brpezaville, the capital
of French Equatorial Africa, on
account of the open buying and
selling of human merchandise,
while in Tanganyika the brazen
auctioning of young natives has
become so widespread that mise

Villainy on Hand—These hands, belonging to Hubert Hunt, far-
mer, hold a mess of the ugly worms that are currently ruining
crops and grazing lands in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Vir-
ginia, Maryland and New York. The destroyer is shown in the
drawing below. It gets its name from its habit of "marching"
in great numbers in search of food. After its destructive role is
finished, it retires into o cocoon, later to emerge as a moth.
sionaries recently took steps in an
attempt to curb the scandal.
A United Press report some
tin'ie ago said: "Missionaries have
begun a slow but steady battle in
the jungles of Central Africa
against the selling of young girls
into slavery and harems." The
(Catholic 1 News Agency, Fides.
reported in a despatch from
.Kitega that missionaries have re-
established a mission on the
shores of Lake Tanganyika, aban-
doned in 1881 when two priests
and a helper were massacred ley
natives. The report said: "It is the
hope of the missionaries that their
presence will hasten the day
when the, scandalous practice of
selling young Barundis, a prac.
tide that still exists on a large
scale, will nine to an end."
But is hi highly probable that it
will be many years before this
disgraceful and degrading trade
in human flesh is finally and com-
pletely eradicted.

What Goes On
In The Milky Way
The Milky Way, one of the
most striking sights in the hea-
vsns on a clear night, is in for a
very thorough examination by
astronomers during the next few
months.
A giant telescope has been
erected near Bloemfontein, in
South Africa, where conditions
are ideal for studying this stu-
pendous galaxy of stars.
Observations end mathematic-
al calculations are to be made
-over a period of years, and it is
• hoped that many of the mysteries
of starland will be solved, -
More than any other celestial
object, the Milky Way has effect-
ed Man with a sense of mystery
and unknown destiny. To the
American Indians it was the
"path of souls." In ancient myth-
ology it was the highway of the
gods to Olympus.
Its very name commemorates
an ancient legend that Juno,
when suckling Mercury, scatter-
ed Milk across the skies.
13ut this fegling of deep asso--
dation With the stars, and 'fie
simple affection for them which
we find in Chaucer and other
medieval poets, have been de-
stroyed for us by astronomers
who have measured their vast
distances.
These astronomers tell us that
there are some stars in the Milky
Way whose light takes not hun-
dreds, nor thousands of years to
reach us, but hundreds of thou-
sands.
Twelve years ago a new type
of star cloud was discovered in
the Milky Way, consisting of an
immense "crowd" of stars, 5,000
of Which have been counted so
far. The light front this star
cloud takes 300,000- years to
reach us, which means it is
18,000,000 billion miles aweiy.
NO- CROWDING
Gazing at the Milky Way on a
clear • night, about one million
stars are visible 'to the naked
eye. A 100 -inch telescope, how-
ever, will reveal about 1,500 mil-
lion, and there are many more,
too numberless and too remote
for any instrument to count.
One might think this would
cause overcrowding. But as one
astronomer has remarked: "Set
three wasps flying over Europe,
end its skies would be more
crowded with weeps than Lite
Milltw Way is with stats'
•
LOST IN SPACE
Sir James Jeans describes the
Milky Way as the rim of a great
('cnttal hub. Our sun is one of
the list's stars of this cartwheel
system or galaxy, and our proud
earth is cornparable to a speck
of pollen floating in the Pacific
- Ocean. Yet in the Univer..,- there
are at feast 100,000,000 stellar
cartwheels similar to thr' Milky
Wa.
Anuttu'r 1?r,l4.nrt star -gazer,
Subrahnnluyan Chandtrisk-
hat, predicts that the Miil:y Way
will not always hold together in
its east earlyheel across; the

will eventually stop rotating, and

of grevious circumstances still
persists in the world. Two years
ago Bob Pierce went to speak in
a church in South Korea at 0
