]. R.: have farmed for the past
20 years and made a good living.
Ny wife is trying to encourage me
to leave the farm and go to work
in a defense plant. I know how to
farm but don't know how to work
in a defense plant. What should I
do?
Ans: AlthO there is a vital de-
mand for defense workers at this
time, there is equally a demand for
farmers. You haven't made an aw-
full lot of money for the past 20
years, but you have made a good
living, paid for a home and edu-
Gated your children. Stick to your
farm and do your country a great
er service.
NJ. R.: My child has given me
considerable trouble in public
schools this whole year. am think
ing of taking her out after this
semester and putting her in a pri-
vate school. Do you think this
would encourage her mischievous
traits or would it help her?
Ans: A change sometimes proves
a turning point in a child's life. At
any rate, it is well worth trying.
The private school has just as much
to offer as public schools and your
child will probably be given more
attention as they are less crowded.
New associates will also have a
tendency to bring about a re-
newed interest.

Dynamite Helps Make Food

Because of dynamite, American
farmers can grow more wartime
foods, feeds, fbers, and fats by i'm
proving farm lands through ade-
quate drainage. The labor shortage
is causing farmers to use more Of
their most fertile land, some Of
which has not been in cultivation
because of poor drainage. Agricul-
tral explosive experts point out
that dynamite is less expensive and
far more available for use in ex-
cavating bitches than are labor,
power shovels, shovel teeth, truck
bodies, and replacement parts for
manpower-using equipment To
blast a given length Of ditch, only
enough manpower and time are
needed to make the holes and
place the cartridges. Stumps. boul-
ders, and sunken logs-so difficult
to remove by hand or even by ma
chine-are thrown high in the air
by dynamite. New and fertile top
soil is usually added to nearby area.

Record Production Fats,
Oils Expected During '43

Production Of fats and oils from
domestic materials is expected to
total nearly II billion pounds in 1913,
greatly exceeding all previous rec
ordS. Requirements for domestic
fats and oils also will be larger than
ever before. rejecting the loss Of
imports Of coconut, palm. and tung
oils from the Far East and the large
exports of lard and domestic vege-
table oils under lend-lease. The
United States has shifted recently
from the position of net importer to
that Of net exporter Of fats and oils.
The per capita supply Of food fats
and oils for civilian use in 1913
probably will be about as large as
the average for recent years. But
with industrial employment and in
come increasing, and with retail
price ceilings in effect the quantity
demanded may be moderately larg-
er than the available supply. A con-
siderable reserve exists, however, in
wasted meat fat much Of which
could be recovered in the kitchen
for use in cooking
To provide a strategic reserve
supply Of primary fats and oils, the
War Production board recently is
sued an order restricting the use of
these commodities by major manu-
facturers to specified percentages Of
the 1904 average use. The manu-
facture Of butter and lard is not az
fected by the order. The use of fats
IN the manufacture Of edible prod
ucts for military use and all prod
uctS for lend-lease also is unrestrict-
ed. Factory and warehouse stocks
Of fats and oils, which have declined
in the past two years to less than
two billion pounds, are expected to
be built up to about three million
pounds in the next 10 or IL months.
An additional 800 or 400 million
pounds Of fats probably will be held
in reserve for future contingencies
in the form Of ncrushed soybeans.

Djedeida Rail Junction

Djedeida, Tunis, is an impor-
tant rail junction between the Tuni-
sian capital and the naval base Of
Bizerte to the north. It is Is miles
west from Tunis on the railroad
which extends across North Africa
to Casablanca, Morocco.
The town is on the right bank Of
Medjerda, chief Of Tunisian rivers,
which cuts the zigzag course through
the mountains followed by the rail-
way and highway, says the National
Geographic society. In centuries
past this river silted up the historic
gulf Of Utica. At Djedeida is a
dam, built in 1922, to impound the
mountain waters Of the river which
in times Of drouth may decrease to
one-tenth of per cent Of its maxi
mum volume. Water is thus stored
for irrigation. The irrigated fields
about Djedeida are fertile and well
cultivated

you heard that one of our very
popular St. Paul army boys (who
couldn't be hooked by any local las

her back to the Twin Cities, if pos

buffet supper and dancing party
for the cast of "Porgy and Bess."
Charming ETA MOTEN attended
the supper, but had to dash of be-
fore getting a chance to be intro
duced to some of the Twin Citians
who came out. Our own JUNE
(Songbird) HAWKINS was at the
party looking grand and were her
many friends glad to see her. You
know June is Eta Moten's under
study and a member of the chorus
and she was given the opportunity
to play the leading role of "Bess"
on Tuesday night and did June ever
make a hit. The show has created
quite a bit of excitement round
the two towns and has been on the
must see" list for many of our
local folks. Clayton Hughes and
Lorna Marmon are announcing
their marriage which took place a
couple of months ago.

our story revolves round a very
handsome man Tin his late thirties)
and his wife (who is in her forties) q.
They haven't been married very
long but so far seem to be getting
along quite well. That is, there's
been harmony in the home until
our wife decided to have her young
daughter (of a former marriage

her. To come to the point, the
young girl who's in her twenties)

just recently found out what trick
fate is playing on her and she's
really in a muddle not knowing

before things become unbearable in
the home. Our wifie's problem is
this: What should she do? You
know she loves both parties in

anyway, give it a little thought.

A Soilor For
SO Yeurs--And
Couldn'f Swim

A FTER 3s years at sea.
~ Sydney Grant Wood,
y ships engineer, has de
cided 20 learn how to swim.
Wood. who has had several ships
go down under him, didn't think
much about it until his last sink
ing-when he had 10 go over the
side without a lifebelt.
AS soon as he hit New York
after his last run. Wood hurried
to the United Seamen's Service
where he asked that the officials
there help him find a swimming
instructor. Torpedoed, bombed.
and attacked Is times, the engi-
neer admitted he never saw much
need to know how to swim until
his last sinking.
When the abandon ship order
came, the captain ordered Wood
TO jump. and jump he did. The
skipper. knowing his engineer
couldn't swim, plunged in right
after him. He kept Wood afloat
until both were picked up.
Although it seems unusual that
man would spend a lifetime
following the sea without know
ing how TO swim. it isn't. A sur
vey Of North Atlantic fishermen
a few years ago showed that over
half the men who braved the
stormy sea and the foggy Grand
Banks a'dn't know how.

j Pero, blind Mexican eccen-
trio who hated everything-man,
beast or insect-that had normal
eyesight, has been discovered by
relatives in his darked home in
Topic, Nayarit, surrounded by
scores of sightless creatures that
he had learned TO love.
Battering down heavy, bolted
door of Casa Ciego," or Blind
House." five of Pero's heirs,
armed with a court order. fought
their way past three cropping
servants who tried to keep them
out. Two Of these servants, men,
were completely blind. The third,
an elderly woman. was so near.
sighted that she could see only
inches beyond her nose.
A few minutes later, Pero's
body was found in a damp and
cavernous basement not unlike a
cave, guarded by hundreds of
blind beetles, blind fish, blind
cave salamanders, blind wood.
lice. and other varieties Of queer
pets" who shared his affliction.
Pero, a wealthy silver miner,
was badly injured in an eXplo-
sion while inspecting one of his
properties and slowly lost his
sight as a result of the accident.
Warned by physicians nearly 20
years ago that he would soon be
totally blind, the Mexican brood
ed and grew melancholy and
bitter. Even white ne was still
able TO read the newspapers with
magnifying glasses, Pero avoid
ed persons with normal vision
and, instead. sought the company
OF the blind.
AT first he collected blind dogs
and cats, hired blind servants,
and forbade anyone who could
see TO enter his house. His only
concession was the aged woman
whose near-sightedness was al
most as bad as blindness.
Later, when he realized that
only weeks remained for him TO
see at all. Pero visited nearly all
OF the famous caves in the United
States and added 10 his collec-
ton Of pets"
At Mammoth Cave. Kentucky.
some guides sold Pero a score of
three.inch-long blind fish which
swim in the dark waters of the
great subterranean rivers. The
Mexican, at considerable expense
had his new pets shipped 10 his
home. Smallens and Marvel
Caves in Missouri provided the
miner with live specimens of
quarter-inch long blind beetles.
OF which he expressed scores of
both sexes TO Casa Ciego."
Other great caverns were visi-
ted by the collector who, from
the dark interior of the earth,
brought up hundreds OF fish, ami
mails and insects whose optic
nerves had degenerated from
countless thousands Of years OF
living in pitch blackness. In some
strange way. the afflicted man
felt comforted by the presence
OF creatures Of any description
that couldn't see.
Back in his home after his long
pilgrimage, Pero installed his
friends in luxurious quarters.
Each species was given a "natu-
raj" environment such as it had
enjoyed in it's original home.
Although resenting the presence
of seeing men around him, Pero
was forced to hire workmen TO
prepare appropriate settings for
the new occupants. A miniature
river, or stream, was built for
the blind fish from the Mammoth
Cave. and damp wooden stalls
were constructed for the blind
cave beetles.

blind deer were thoughtfully Ell.
