My next door neighbor asserts that
his ten -year-old daughter makes bet
ter coffee than anyone in his house.
And he is undoubtedly right, because
she must needs measure both coffee
and water very accurately.

and weights and measures just as a
chemist does and unless she is pains
taking and accurate her results will
vary and mot come out" right.
Lots of women say they never
measure" anything. Their secret is
long experience and an unusual eye
and knowing how much certain mix
ing bowl holds. They really do meas
use but not with measuring cups and

Up where the angels say their prayers,
Way up in an upper flat.
I'D Lady Lightning lives close by

And she keeps spiteful cat.
Old Man Thunder takes his gun
And he hunts the angels just for fun
And he takes his dog along.

For she thinks such conduct wrong.

And the Thundermans dog Just growls and growls,
And then there's a lovely storm!

delaying the starting Of the first vel

blocked so as to insure a fair deal to
all concerned. However they expect
to close the block by tonight and 70
have at least two rigs on the way
within a very few days. 1t seems
certain that Chapman will know this
