Power From Sea, Idea

difference in temperature of sea
water at the surface and deep

of 80 to 40 degrees and such a va
ration Is as valuable for power
purposes as water falling 300 feet,

"Sunny Spain" Country
of the Imagination

We are always hearing of sunny
SPAIN" Southern coastal Spain is nat
urally sunny and semi-tropical, but a
large part of Spain is high table
land, flanked by lofty mountains, and
the people know what it is to suffer
from cold-especially since fuel is ex-
ceedingly scarce.
1t is difficult to write of Spain in
general terms because not all Spain
is alike. There is scarcely a state
ment that can be made about south
ern Spain which would also hold true
for northern Spain. The Spain of the
mountains is one Spain and the Spain
of the coasts another. The Spain of
the stage and the movies is a wholly
fictitious Spain. All Spain is rapidly
changing-trying to snap out of it's old
lethargy, trying to live down it's repu-
tation for laziness, etc.-Pathfnder

No one could have one of the three
hundred and sixty-five days in the
year all, all to himself or herself. But
that didn't make any difference.
Dolly didn't mind. She didn't mind
how much other people claimed the
day for their own.
She was glad if there were other
happy people in the world that day.
But as far as she, herself, was con-
cerned and as far as her family were
concerned, the day was wholly and
completely and utterly and entirely
Dolly's day.
Yes, it was her birthday, and many
had been the whispered secrets about
that day before it had arrived.
Dolly had made a list of the pres
ents she would like to have given to
her.
1t had not been s1ch very large
list. Dolly was not in the least greedy
or grasping. But of course the mem
bers of her family wanted it to be a
fairly good-sized list. Then If they
couldn't find some of the things Dolly
wanted, or if some of the presents
were impossible to get, there would be
other presents from which to choose.

1t is being more and more widely
recognized that there is an important
connection between good posture and
avoidance of fatigue in doing any sus-
tanned piece of work. Poor posture
strains the muscles of the neck and
back, hinders the circulation, cramps
the chest, and often forces the abdom-
inal organs out of place, and after a
time may result not only in fatigue
but in poor body condition. Farm:
women are especially interested In
whatever knowledge can be applied to
their problems to make their work
easier and their possession and en-
'joyment of leisure greater. Compare
the good posture in hopping with the
bad one. in which the hips and abb
domen are thrust forward In such a
way that the shoulders are slOuche6

contrasting materials-pique with ging-

fascinating, flattering frocks that
abound in the wash dress sections
