NOTICED A REQUEST for home
made floor wax and furniture pol
ish. These are recipes I have used
for many years.
Furniture polish: 1 cup t%urpentine,
/ tablespoon vinegar, / cup boiled
Inseed oil. Store in a bottle and
shake thoroughly each time before
using.
Linoleum polish: / cup melted
paraffin, 2 cups kerosene, 8 table
spoons turpentine. Mix and keep
warm by letting set in pan of hot
water while applying to clean Ii
noleum. This makes a fine protective
covering for lino1eum, and when
dry, the surface has a nice shine and
one can MOI with a damp cloth to
remove spots and dirt.
Homemade floor wax: These di-
rections were received from Mary
L. Sutherland, extension economist
in home management for the Colo
RADIO Agriculture college. These are
the INGREDIENTS, with instructions for
making: / ounce raw 1inseed oil, 6
ounces turpentine, 1 ounce unre-
fined beeswax. A ounces of paraffin.
Mix the raw 1inseed oil and turpen-
tine together, doing this work out of
the house or in a room where there
is no fire. Melt the beeswax and
paraffin over hot water, using a
double boiler or pans of two sizes.
(Salt may be added to the hot water
to raise the t~emperature). Garry the
double boiler with the melted in
gradients out of doors and add the
,1inseed oil and turpentine mixture.
Heat all the ingredients over the hot
water (away from the stove) because
turpentine is highly inflammable,
Mix thoroughly and beat vigorously
until the mass becomes creamy anc
thick. One pound of wax will cover
240 square feet of floor.
This floor wax may be used Il
protect linoleum as well as WOOD
floors. The wax should be used spar
ingly. IT should be put on in small
amounts at night, and polished tht
following day. This wax gives a fine
soft finish to furniture, and is otter
used to give an excellent polish t.
dining and library tables. - Mrs
Frank Kruchel, Missoula County.
Floor wax-1 pound paraffin,
quart kerosene. Take / gallon til
can, melt paraffin in it, then ad,
kerosene. Always apply warm. LIE
dry 20 minutes. Good for any kin,
of floor covering, even old woode
floors. = Nellie Williamson, Judit
Basin County.

So You Think You
Have Moods

A young navy lieutenant, not too
long out of the service, told me over
the luncheon table the other day
that he became very much discour-
aged over himself. I pointed out he
hadn't any reason to be- He has a
good job. He's doing it well.
That's just the trouble" he said.
"I'm not doing it well. I know I'm
not. One day I feel sure that have
everything a man needs to be sue
cessful and happy. Then the next
day I'm clear down in the dumps.
It's my moods. Isn't there anything
a person can do about moods?"
I told him, as I am presently
going to tell you, that of course
there is something anyone can do
about his moods. told him further
more something he never heard OF
before. that having moods is per.
fectly normal, perfectly natural,
and a good rather than a bad thing.
We know good deal more about
moods now than we did a few years
ago, for now we know that at GER
tain times we are going to be
happy. regardless Of how things
break for us. while at others we are
going to feel depressed, also regard
less Of how things break.
Largely responsible for this in
formation is DR.. Rexford Hershey
Of the University Of Pennsylvania,
one Of the first scientists to study
our emotional curves.
By his researches DR.. Hershey
proved that we all have our ups and
downs and these occur with regu-
larity. We are elated, cheerful,
pleasant, unpleasant, peevis s h,
grouchy. That is one cycle. Then we
become elated, cheerful, pleasant,
and so forth, again. Our lives are a
series Of cycles-emotional cycles.
These cycles, moreover, appear
with almost exact regularity. With
SOAA1C pei oO1AS CAACy &PpCo4 CVS1y
month; with others every two or
three months. Highly emotional
people 60 through their emotional
cycles often in less than two-weeks'
time, then start all over again; they
are always in a dither. But long or
short, each of us has his emotional
curve.
Maybe you are wondering what
you can do to control THIS curve.
You can't control it, but you can
disguise it, so that regardless of how
you really feel, you put your best
foot forward where the rest of the
world is concerned.
And how do you do that? It's SIM
pie. Just remember that we take
our emotions from our actions, not
our actions from our emotions. In
other words, to feel cheerful just
act cheerful. The next time you
reach the low point Of your emo
tional curve, try that. Act cheerful,
talk cheerful. and you will be cheer.

Six Daring AeriuIists
In Incredible Escape

In notorious accident in Japan
in 1884, the seven passengers, all
men, saved their lives in one of
the most incredible escapes on
record, says Golfers. While round
ing a mountain road, the bus skid
ded, went over a cliff and crashed
several hundred feet below, kill
ing the driver.
Halfway down the mountain,
however, the vehicle had bumped
into a lone tree which checked its
fall for an instant. During these
few seconds, the men made a
mass flying leap from the windows
of the bus to the branches of the
tree. Their amazing agility and
timing were accounted for by the
fact that they were aerialists. per-
forming together in a trapeze act
of a circus.

full, exciting and prophetic Of de-
light.
Vaguely. he could hear the man
counting. Meaningless numbers.
He'd have to have a Topley special
first. then take care of the girl.
Spence regarded her expression. In
jury dominated her fair face and
pensive smile hovered about her
lips. It rebuked him.
With sinking heart and forward
thrust Of lean jaw. Spence gulped
and announced:
''Sir, I want to talk to you"
whats botherin' you, SOM"
Spence cleared his throat. ''You
look like a regular guy" he began.
''Now, supposin' you had con-
scientious employe. You'd want to
keep her, huh?"
"You said it," the man nodded
vigorously.
'Now, if you had a person like
that and you felt she was compe-
tent to take care of the store"
Spence took a deep breath and
plunged, ''would you give her
raise if she was to ask you. Would
you?"
"Guess so." the man acknowl-
edged.
'How much?"
''Well," the mans thick shoulders
heaved. Maybe ten,'' he said at
last.
"You heard him." Spence turned
triumphantly toward the girl. I'm
a Witness"
She nodded. Her eyes were glow
ing.
eff you'll excuse me, son." the
man was saying, "I'm kind of busy.

He handed a paper to the girl.
Here's the bill," he remarked.
Thanks. I'll file it. Oh, yes,"
Spence saw her reach into her

careful in handling these foods in

Spence was up. He was past the

He brushed it off.

muscles like Idaho potatoes bulged
his arms, laden at the moment with
two big paper bags.
Spence glanced at the girl. Be-
meath her GOODNESS, he thought he
detected an undercurrent Of excite
ment.
She said courteously, did you
get everything?"
The man shrugged his shoulders
and laid the bags on the counter.
"Yeah," he grunted "Exceptin'
powdered sugar." His tone was
gruff. He tore the bag down the
center. s-a- Il =

about having a super special-with

Spence visioned maraschino cher

submerged raspberries. He also dis
covered lights in her eyes, flashes
Of radiant promise. He placed her
arm in his. The action seemed most
natural. I'm glad you've re-
formed" he grinned. They went
back into the store.

A watched kettle never boils-
especially if you leave a spoon in
the pan. The spoon conducts heat
away from the liquid and retards
boiling.
Glue q small piece of cloth
measuring tape to the inside OF
the wooden frame of your knitting
bag. You'll find this handy when
sewing or knitting.
When finishing unlined coats, or
garments made of sheer fabrics,
press the seams open. Then by
turning the edges back on them
selves, stitch along the turned
edge. Do not stitch through the
right side of the garment, howev-
er. Dainty even running stitches
make a neat job.
IF delicate net curtains are
placed in a cheesecloth bag, they
may be laundered safely in the
washing machine. Such articles as
nylon hose and lingerie may also
be washed this way.
Lose hinges are a common cause
of sagging doors, and often the
mere Tightening of the screws will
correct the trouble in a jiffy. How
ever, if there is some warping OF
the wood, planning job probably
will be necessary.

A MONG the million-odd things
Il a Spence wanted to do was visit
Topley's. He'd had yen for Top
1ey's back there on the desert
wastes. He craved it as a cat would
catnip or q homeSick Eskimo, an
iceberg.
And now, as he hurried his
chunky form up the narrow street,
the blue neon above Topley's win
dow blazed welcome in letters two
feet high.
Spence slid into a seat. He
breathed, "Razzberry soda, please.
Topley special"
He closed his eyes and envisioned
q monument of pink and white.
A girls voice, clear and soft.
reached him.
"Ras-bry soda," she informed.
''Without ras-bries."
He raised his head. Her eyes were
warm and gray. An amused smile
bowed her lips.
without" he faltered.
Her manner humored his confu-
sion. But Spence didn't see that. 1t
struck him she was part of the soda.
That the dream also took her in.
He watched her scoop out COB Of
ice-cream, drop it into a tall glass,
squirt in q crimson syrup and heard
the harsh gurgle of carbonated wa
ter. The glass was placed before
him.
He placed his lips to the straw
and pulled. Coldness luxuriously
flowed over his tongue, daubed his
palate, trickled down his throat and
touched off revelations of delicious
ness he'd almost forgotten. 1t evoked
imagery. Lying face upward in
shallow mountain lake elastic
stars shimmering on waters above
:. night winds whispering Of giant
pines drifting H.. drifting in
rowboat and girl beside him
.. gray-eyed and pretty a girl
like and he looked up. He felt
the impact of her presence.
She said, "You enjoyed that?"
Enjoyed! He'd known the price
lessness Of cold glass Of water. He
grinned.
'.FIit the spot like a letter from
home"
Spence expected a smile, but she
merely picked up his empty glass
and erased the moist ring beneath
with an efficient stroke of damp
cloth. He felt he'd missed the tar
get, but wide. He rose awkwardly
and plunged hand into his pocket.
His coin vibrated on the counter. A
frustrated ring.
The cash register crr-unged dis
missal. Spence half-wheeled to go.
In turning, his eye caught the tab,
NO SALE! The girls hand swept to
her blouse pocket. The clink of
metal told him his coin had joined
others.
1t was none of his concern, yet the
act had been so brazen. He heard
himself saying, Don't they treat
you right, here?"
Spence couldn't make out her ex-
preston. 'They do" she answered
succinctly.
ST saw you pocket that money"
$50 what?" her GOODNESS irritated
him.
IF the owner caught you
There's nothing he could do
about it," she began to straighten a
row Of glasses before her. The ges-
ture tokened disinterest in his opin-
ions. More, it infuriated him.
'T wouldn't have believed it," he
managed.
Instantly he was sorry for her. He
noticed that dark lashes rested on
her cheeks. He realized also his
heart was humping and there was
quaver in his voice that he
couldn't control.
''Why don't you ask for raiser"

'Then quit. Get another job"

Rioting Chinese Wreck Food Store

PEIPING, P)-One of the larg- est food stores in the city was wrecked Monday by a mob of shoppers angered because supplies had given out.
 The incident pointed up the growing seriousness of the food situation here, where prices have been on a rampage and many items are short in supply.
 The greatly swollen population is estimated by police at more than 2,000,000. About 100000 - mostly civil war refugees - are classified as destitute. Mounting costs of food and fuel can spell but one thing for a bulk of the population this Winter-cold and hunger.
 Since August 19, the date at which prices were ordered frozen the cost of coal, rice and eggs has jumped 500 per cent, cooking oil has gone up 800 per cent and sugar 1000 per cent.
