Up On A Mountain With 14 -Ton Magnet Perched precariously 11,780 ft. nip in the Swiss Alps in a tiny alu- minium cabin which is Europe's highest observatory, four scientists ---three Englishmen and an Indian --are keeping a day and night vigil 'or four Months. They are studying Cosmic rays, '•.he mysterious radiation from outer space which at this height are more than 25 times as •strong as at sea level. The scientists' fttturistic- 1ooking cabin was cut into the solid .rock by Swiss engineers. In it is erolvded amazing equipment worth housands of pounds, including an ,apparatus which automatically lehotographs and records cosmic says. They arc also using a 14 -ton elec- =romagnet which took weeks to as- semble and take to the top of the mountain. Jungfraujoch, The men work in an atmosphere so thin that They find it hard to breathe. But 10 them the strange experiment is well worth while, for they hope to Throw light on the origin of the •1f -particles, so called because their '+ranks on a photographic plate re- semble a V. The particles inay be the key to the atom's inner core, isle compoeition of which is un- tnown. 13elou the men's cabin, at the foot of a lift, is a 500 -yard gallery which 'wads to the scientists' living quar- ters. The scientists do their own roosting in turn, btvv'ecn work shifts. And they have found that the low atmospheric pressure make the task 4)f boiling things at normal tem- peratures very difficult.

Storage space ---which includes drtiwers, open counters, and shelves enclosed by sliding doors, - is accessible from both sides. The divider (at right) is glade up of metal, dimpled and plain plywood;. and plastic panels, and stands 59 inches high. It is four feet wide with panels obtainable in seven different colors, which may be combined 10 suit the purchaser's taste. Also helpful to those not yet permanently settled is latulti-purpose furniture, There's a trend away from liv- ing roost or bedroom suites as such, and many new !pieces may be swapped from room to room as they're. needed. Tlie two -drawer night -stand that races your bedroom today might well double as a corner table in your living room next time von shift quarters. Our first three recipes today have ' no ,*lain/ to novelty. As a ;natter of fact they were contributed by ladies who took thefts originally front their grandmother's store of prized reci- pes. But for all that I think you'll filed them all well worth trying - and possibly storing up for future generations. By the way, although the first one is called "cake" it's really a sort of bread. CUSTARD CORN CAKE 2 eggs s/ eup sugar i cup sweet milk 1 cup sour milk Salt to taste 1 teaspoonful balling soda 1/ cups yellow corn meal as cup flour METHOD -Mix well and pour into a frying pan or flat saucepan -or, if you prefer, a baking dish - in which two tablespoons of butter have been melted. Just before put- ting into the oven, pour into the centre 1 additional cup of sweet milk - without stirring. Bake in hot oven for half an hour, or until it is golden brown and thoroughly cooked by the straw test. There should be soft custard in the centre where' the milk was 'poured. - .K * * "This cake" says • its sponsor, "though not especially rich, is of fine texture and webe i icedawith the' .orange ictng just melts in your mouth.

Nothing But A "Rolling Stove" • A good ntapy:. years ago I acquir- ed a small portable' ,inp. cookstove of distinctive •and original• design, which had been my inseparable, if fragrant companion on many expe- ditions to and fro upon the world on one mission or another. Since Connie and I had settled down in rtjral New England this little ob- ject always went with us on picnics and the like, as a convenient means of heating up soups or ... what- ever when in a hurry. It was a sert of international stove, as far a"s background goes, for it was an Austrian infringement of the Bri- tish Primus Stove, made in Czech- oslovakia for the trade in Russian Central Asia. I had bought it at a French store in Damascus at a time when I happened to he work- ing for a British Archaeological speiety. It had cost me no little trouble learning how to put the thing together and get it working, fttr while the instructions were neatly printed on the box, they hap- pened to be in Russian, Pushtu, and Chinese. 'The lavender -tinted box contained a variety of fittings which, when properly screwed together, formed a squat brass bellied affair like a 'votive tripod, not much bigger than a teapot. A preliminary 'ire of alcohol had to be ignited first to heat up the coils, then when these were good and hot one pumped air into the machine's stomach and --provided all dietary rules had been observed ---the burner on the top sprang into a roaring flame like a blow torch, which is indeed what the little thing was, generically. The main fuel was kerosene, and while I did not know it at the time, the principle was exactly that of the main burner of a Stanley Steamer, Remember at all times that a Stanley. Steamer is really a rolling stove -a kind of self-propelled fur- nace. It may look something like a conventional automobile, hut it isn't. All it has in common is four wheels and the steering mechan- ism. The similarity stops and col- lapses in a heap. -From "The Story of a Stanley Steamer," by George Woodbury. Just ask what's good for al BM -1 A IN LE SBP TEL WRY Some of Our Early Canadian Artists, Painting is the most nationally expressive of all the arts in Canada, for within the general circnzn£erence of painting is a small, recognizable are which is distinctly Canadian in manner. The catalogue of the Na- tional Gallery of Canada contains a section describing the works of the "Canadian School",of painters. -a bold attitude for Canadian offi- cialdom to take, but a justifiable and necessary one. The country's art history dates from recorded times when white explorers and settlers first came to the New World. Early French art in Canada, patronized by the Church, was mostly ecclesiastical; untutored, and unambitious, and cannot be considered in any sense the basis of 'the excellent painting of modern French Canada. The earliest works by English artists were mainly reportorial drawings and paintings by military men and surveyors. The first Canadian painters to gain personal recognition and pres- tige were Paul Kane and Cornelius Krieghoff. Kane, who as a boy came from Ireland to make his home in what is now Toronto, be- came noted for his faithful re- cording of the personalities and cus- toms• of Indian tribes in all parts of the land which subsequently be- came Canada. He even made a ha- zardous trip across the Rocky Mountains in 1846 to-do a series of paintings of the Pacific Coast Indians. Krieghoff, a youthful im- migrant from Germany who made his hone in Montreal about 1840, became a renowned painter of the atmosphere and customs of the de- vout, lighthearted people of rural French Canada. Both artists were highly competent, technically and intellectually, and their works are prized today and sought by collec- tors. -From "The Cultural Pattern," by Walter Herbert, in "Canada," Edited by George W. Brown. Alis 9 Alas; y For The Party'Line ?hone R.r•r-r•r-ringl Milo, ventral! \Vv. don't want any number, please.
