His dream girl had laughing eyes. soft hair

a cute, helpless air. She was the words to
all the songs he'd been listening to for years

girls he'd pinned up from the Bronx to Attu

looking chair and would have sat down
except that there was a ribbon stretched
across the seat. Obviously to keep him, or
anybody else, from accepting the invitation.
So he put his coat down on it and strolled
into the kitchen.
He looked around. The kitchen was like
between hospital lab and roll-away bar.
In fact, it was so doggoned streamlined that
at first he wasn't even sure it was the kitchen.
There we're none of the familiar landmarks
about it - no cooky jar, no geraniums on
the sill, no doing cat But there were some
strange cone-shaped containers on a shelf,

DISPENSED WITH.
'Humph," Johnny thanked his lucky stars
he'd grown up with kitchen where the odors
hadn't been waited away by some magic
mechanical device He suddenly felt sorry for
all the people of the future, who d never know
the delicious aroma of apples and cinnamon
bubbling on the stove, never breathe air per-
fumed with spicy gingerbread, never be called
to meals by the irresistible incense of break
fast bacon. This house with the delicate air
was all right to look at but -.
Johnny glanced out the window, but there
was no view worth mentioning. For this was
house built on the l4th floor of Adams
Department Store. Its only fora was bright
green carpeting, laid down to soften the foot
steps of the hundreds of people who came to
inspect THE HOUSE OF TOMORROW TODAY.
He WONDERED If all those people in the next
room really liked this sort of thing or whether
they, like himself, had simply wandered in
to see what the postwar planners had up
their slide rule. Well. they sure had failed to
get his measurements.
His dream house was built along the same
lines as his dream girl - small, gay, heart
warming. He'd like to match muscles with
the guy who'd thought up this crazy idea of
making houses as functional as fattops, as
barren as barracks, as concentrated as
K-rations. As if that weren't treason enough,
they'd done up good-looking kid in the
md 1al Lc~ L..
as hostess.
Miss Gadget of 1896" he said aloud
Miss Modern Appliances, to be exact,
sir"
Johnny turned and saw a man whose
obsequious voice matched his striped pants,
morning coat. and fresh carnation "She won
over all the other girls here in the store," the
man continued. This is her second week to
reign over The House of Tomorrow Today.
And must say, Miss Ross seems to be in
fine form today"
JOHNNY and the foorwalker, whose name
turned out to be Hopkins, stopped talking
and listened to the girls voice as it came to
them from the next room.
And over here" she was saying. is the

room. This is called the master switch
Just push it and presto. -
Johnny could hear the obs and abs of the
crowd. He stepped to the door - really just
a screen that could be slid out of sight, and
looked in. 1t was like peeping at kids on
Christmas morning On the faces of these
people were the same shining, miracle-lit
expressions. And no wonder! For the plexi-
plastic logs were shooting off tiny iridescent
sparks; on the television screen soap opera,
complete with everything but suds, was
unfolding; card table had sprung self
consciously into view; over all, soft lights
cleaned from concealed tubes around the
ceiling.

Large Seed Harvest
C0od News to Farmers

Good news to conservation
minded farmers is contained in a
D. S. Department of Agriculture
announcement of a large harvest
d leeume and grass seeds in 1916.
The latest estimates indicate that
although the demand for hay
xeds will continue high during
tie coming year, the seed growers
have made a substantial step to-
ved meeting requirements.
Alfalfa seed leads the list with
m indicated thirty-six per cent
increase over last year. This will
|be the biggest alfalfa seed harvest
ri al time USDA figures show.
There appears to be a nine per
ont increase in the production Of
ilsike clover seed, and the red
dover harvest will be six percent
hryer than last years crop-the
third largest crop ever harvested.

The Republican party's election

OF The Associated Press who par

poll.
When final election results were

which had been running since

meant that legislation enacted in

Iron Lung Drive
Goes Over TOP;
One On Display

The first of two iron lungs pur-
chased by organized labor here
arrived Sunday and is on display
at the Mississippi Power company
offices in Pascagoula as the drive
for funds went over the top this
week.
c. D. Burton, committee chair
man, said this week that the
smaller lung would be delivered
shortly and that more than
enough funds have been contrib
uted during the short drive to
pay for them. He gave special
credit to the locals at the In
ternational Paper company mill
where G o. TootIe headed a COM
mittee that raised $500.
The large lung which arrived
Sunday and can be used for adults
or children, cost 81 1900 and the
one for children only costs $500.
More than enough funds were
raised in a whirl wind drive that
began only this month.
The machines ore used for vic
TINS of infantile paralysis and
other diseases or injuries that af-
feet the patients breathing and
neressitate artificial respiration.
The lungs will be placed in the
county hospital with the small
er one designated for the chill
dren's ward, which will be con-
strlcted by the Elks club.
The lungs will be placed with
the understanding that no charge
will be made for their use other
than the minimum necessary for
operation and attendance.
