 But what was wrong?" the boss asked again
 See these blisters? That's my cookin. You see. goes out to tn hotel an takes tn job an tn first thing tn guy that's runnin' tn place says to me is to tell me to bake up enough bread to last a week. That's easy. says 1, not knowin' how many people there was to feed, an so just starts mixin' up tn dough. I gets me tn biggest pan there was an puts about half sack O flour fin 1t. Then l sticks in tn rest of tn things and sits down to wait for tn corner fin bread to rise. We'll. I sit around a while an then l begin to get inquisi- tive about what's in tn kitchen. so I begin lookin' round I finds a sack Full O somethin' an takes 1t over to th' lfght-right where tn bread was ito see what 1t was. Sack busts all to pieces an whole lot of black powder dumps into tn bread.
 I'll bunch tn bread around it an bake it. anyway l says. Then no says l. tn boss might catch on. I'll lump th' whole bunch Into tn stove an burn 1t up. opened up tn stove an dumped tn dough in tn fire an put tn lids back on. Then I started mixin' more dough.
 Just then I heard somethin' kinda breakin' an looked around an saw tn lid O tn stove rfsin' up kinder majestic like. An underneath, risin' right along with it, was that bread. tried to push them bloomin' lids down, but 1t wasn't any use. Tn dough just squashed out tn sides an kept on risin.'
 Then it began to burn an make Q smokestack out of tn door leadin' Into tn dinin' room. An just then l heard somebody.
 Whats matterr could hear tn boss yeliin': who set the house on arer Then he comes tearin' out to th' kitchen. 60 miles a minute.
 When he gets there. tn breads runnin' all over tn stove an tryin' to make Virginia creeper outen 1t. self on tn stovepipe.
 Whats upT be yeils

Similar imitation of population figures

nous padding has been the result Of
concerted action, either 10y the sohci-

who hope by showing the population TO
be greater than it really is to promote
the growth of their town.

Sunlight and Shadow

T IGHT airs from the bay tempered the
heat OF the sun on the deck awning OF
the Alicia as the Yacht swung idly at
her anchorage IN the harbOr. The yacht club
was alive with bunting. from every pole in
sight t1uttered the nation flag, and a persIs-
tent clamor of tlrecrackers and now and then
the boom of ordnance came family across the
water from the town. The small terrybOat

the disdaIn OF a swan for ugly ducklIng. A
purple haze hung over each shore, which swan
in the heat and in the north was lost in the
mlnghng OF sea and sky.
In spite of pleasant invitations in Newport,
the guests OF the Alicia had chosen TO stay
aboard until nighttall and thus escape the
NOISE and confusion OF the Fourth OF ulY.

Van Sewers cottage, and We're now enjoying
