so straight and pale that they made
him seem to stare. But for all his
rough exterior, he had a sheepish
air in greeting Curt.
"Hiya, fella." Henderson grinned
amiably, it might have been only
yesterday they last met. Heard
you were coming"

"Well, uh, guess it was the other

Curt surveyed the other. Under
Henderson's open shirt were spots
and blotches Of dull red forming a

jaggedly at the collarbone. Curt re-
membered that Henderson had al
ways been too lazy to treat this skin

But there was something decided
" peculiar in Henderson's manner,
in his careful words. The man didn't
have to be on good behavior with
Curt. He'd never been so restrained
in the old days. Perhaps Montaya's
silent presence threw damper on
the meeting. Curt commenced to

Chopped ripe olives with the
merest dash of garlic make a pun
gent filling for small white bread
sandwiches to be toasted and
served with cocktails.
A good way to utilize stale bread
is to make crisp rusks to eat with
butter and cheese. Break up the
bread into fairly equal sizes, dip
into a little sweetened milk, and
bake in a warm oven until dry
and crisp.
Oven pre-heating for short bak-
ing jobs wastes heat. Plan to do
your baking and oven-cooking at
the same time, when possible.
Strained honey, heated and
mixed with soft butter and a dash
of cinnamon and cloves, gives a
delicious flavor to toasted muf-
fins, hot waff1es or pancakes.
Copper flashing around pipes,
dormer windows and the edges of
roofs never needs painting. But
copper is now on the priority list.
If you have or are installing gal
vanized flashing, remember that it
should be examined frequently and
kept covered with paint.

FARMERS AND WEATHER

fruit say we have had too much rain
this summer and it has hurt the
crops. Up in Rhinebeck, a project
was started to provide pickers by
bringing a group of young girls to-
gether to be paid by the farmers
according to the amount they
picked. Great difficulties have aris-
en- because they have not had
enough picking to pay for board and
lodging.
Many of them, Of course, have
counted on making a little money
on the side. They felt, in addition,
that they were performing a job
that was useful to the country, since
they had been told that labor was
needed on the farm and was
scarce.
No one can control the elements,
however, and the farmer is always
subject to the ups and downs
brought about by Dame Natures
WITNESSES. I think it is the occupa-
ton above all others that is filed
with unknown hazards and requires
more wisdom, foresight and hard
work than any other occupation in
the world. Probably this is why it
also carries such great compensa-
tons and rewards. Many a man
who has made his way in other lines,
remembers his boyhood on the farm
with gratitude and joy.
WARTIME FAMILY CARE
HYDE PARK, N. Y.-At Vassal
college, one morning, it was most
interesting to have a glimpse Of
the large group of children who,
with their parents, attend the three
weeks session of the Vassar Sum-
mer Institute for Family and Child
Care Services in War Time. The
children were at lunch when the
morning meeting closed and we
went off to see each group-the two,
three and four year olds, and two
older groups up to the age of II.
One very small boy was placed in
the corner of the room because, up
to this time, he had always been in
a high chair. Having walls on either
side gave him greater sense Of
security.
It has been said that imitation is
the sincerest form Of fiattery. If
older children only realized this,
they would be in state of constant
pride over the influence which they
exert on the smaller ones around
them. The more mature person is,
of course, the one who serves as a
pattern. If the pattern is good, the
imitation is helpful.

EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP
by


HYDE PARK, N. VI went to
New York city one day and had an
interesting talk in the afternoon with
a committee of home economics
teachers working in the public
schools Of New York city. They
have a summer workshop In which
they are discussing school curricula.
The home economics teachers feel
that every child should have train
ing in this subject in the seventh
and eighth grades and one year in
high school. They believe this
training is valuable to both boys
and girls.
It is important in learning how
to run their homes and how to live
better, and for many will point the
way to a foundation for type Of
training which will give them OPP
portunities for a variety Of jobs.
In the evening / went over to
Brooklyn to forum in the Girls
Commercial high school, where Mr..
Agar, vice president Of Freedom
House, DR.. Clyde Eggleton of New
York university, and Mr.. Clarence
STREET spoke. It was an interesting
evening and some of the questions
at the very end were valuable.
HOUSING FOR NEWLYWEDS
Next evening was spent going to
Saybrook, Conn.,, to visit my friends,
Miss Esther Lape and Miss Eliza
beth Read. On my way back on
the train, found myself sitting next
to a charming young woman who
was on her way to visit her brother
In camp.
We passed a number of govern
ment housing projects and she sud-
denly said that one Of the great
needs of young married couples was
for good housing at cost of from
$40 to $45 month. It seems to
me that this could be done by pri-
vate enterprise when the war is over
in greater volume than has ever
been done in the past. 1t is one Of
the things which will keep up our
production Of certain basic goods.
Next day the rain came down in
sheets and I was inclined to feel
that the elements were very unkind,
for we had planned an outdoor pic
mic for the grownups and children.
However, in the evening we had the
picnic in the playroom and it
turned out to be very pleasant and
informal evening.
In the afternoon 1 spent an
hour at the Hudson Shore Labor
school, where they had two
day conference ON what trade
union women can do in their
homes to help the war effort.
They covered nutrition and vari-
GUS conservation projects, gas
and sugar rationing and price
regulation. think everyone
will get much better concep-
ton Of the reasons why these
things are being asked of civil
ians. This will be help, for
there is still certain amount
of confusion which should be
cleared up.

LEST WE BE MISUNDERSTOOD
 Medical colleague connected with the National Tuberculosis Associa-
 ton says "this Association would be among the first to agree with you that the reader should not get an X-ray picture taken without the doctors advice. We are somewhat concerned, however, lest your ar ticle of May be interpreted by some careless readers as condemna- tion of mass X-raying projects. Not only the armed forces but also many industries, colleges and universities now carry out the practice of mak- ing X-ray examinations of groups. It Is never done, of course, except under medical supervision"
 I wish my colleague had told me how could make it any clearer to the newspaper reader than I did when I said it Is foolish to have an X-ray picture made, unless the doc- tor considers it necessary" Of course if the last six words were omitted for lack of space or some thing, the reader might misunder- stand what I said
 In these days of machinery and gadgets in lieu of art or skill in there is noticeable dis position to disregard the physical examination of the individual by his physician and rely on the tubercu- lin test and the X-ray picture to answer the question "Has this pa- tient pulmonary tuberculosis?" In view of this deplorable fact I be- lleve an occasional reminder to the public that, after all, the practice of medicine is still personal serv- ice and the most ingenious and im- pressive machinery can hardly re- place the knowledge and skill of physician in the making of a di- agnosis.
 If circumstances preclude em- ploying private physician then the next best bet is 8 clinic or dispens- ary, but in any case it is unsafe to rely on X-ray evidence alone to show whether an individual has lung tuberculosis, and not even X- ray evidence plus positive tuber- culin test warrants a conclusion un- less and until the physician has made complete physical examina- tion and study of the patient.
 No one can misunderstood me when I say that the essentials for an accurate or reliable diagnosis of active lung tuberculosis are, in the order of their importance, CD ex- animation by your physician, CD X-ray, (3 tuberculin test, (4) mi croscopic examination of sputum.

 Searching for related fabrics like those inspired Mrs. Brun- schwig to do whole collection of ensembled decorating ideas. There are many similar, co-ordinated groups of fabrics in good stores now. Before choosing from them, you'd best decide upon a scheme for your room. In making that, you might find it useful to bear in mind these basic ideas which are implicit in Mrs. Brunschwig's trans formations
 The kind of room you want should be decided first.
 Tieing the room together with fabrics, the colors and textures of which are repeated, is the most important part of creating suc- cessful scheme. Avoiding mono tony is necessary, too, but much less SO than achieving unity. Per sonal things, especially good small objects, should not be discarded, but should be made to function in harmony with the new scheme.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The Damp Room

Extra room built on house. Every body who has slept in that room has gotten a cold. No cellar under 1t. The room seems damp. Would 1t help to dig a cellar under it?
 (Mrs. E. B.)
 Answer No illness I know of could be caused by dampness in the room. If walls seem damp, line room with wall board or similar material, with air space between old walls and lining. That will cor rect dampness. See that ground water does not drain under the floor.
 The Old Feud
 My dentist is one who doesn't be- lieve doctors know anything about the teeth. He insists that thorough brushing Is the most important thing to prevent cavities and keep the teeth sound, and will not listen when l tell him what you teach
 (Mrs. K. c. E) , Answer-Ask him to read "Nutri- ton and Physical Degeneration" by Weston A. Price, D. D. S., and give me his name and address and I'll send him with my compliments the booklet Save Your Teeth. Be- tween us we may drum little sense into his head. Your dentist is right though, that doctors know little about the teeth. But pr. Price Is tentist and he knows something about preservation of the teeth which all dentists should know.

 The bad taste of those who talk as though they are making grave sacrifices when all they have been asked to give up so far are few luxur!es, while other women have given up their men and seen their homes broken up.

 The bad taste of the patriotic organizations who sponsor picnics in the country to which their mem- bers must drive their cars.
 The bad taste of the young men whose pictures appear on the society pages of Sunday papers lounging around country club pools.
 All those things are in bad taste and do more to discourage the or- dinary guy and his wife and kids in their serious efforts to do all that is asked of them than any amount of Axis propaganda that reaches them.

 So Fain at once reduced the count to this situation by leading the jack of spades and ducking it. West won with the queen and led the second club, forcing the king. Now the ace and king of trumps were cashed, followed by the acc of spades, on which Fain discarded diamond. A third round of spades was ruffed to extract East,s last spade. Then South led the rest of his trumps.
 At the end West had to let go his diamond stopper to save the high spade. Dummy thereupon let go the spade and East was squeezed between diamonds and clubs.
