necessary gear from all over the mine, so they
sat down and opened their lunchboxes. Dan
wasn't hungry. He ate an apple, drank his
tea, then sat in silence watching Peter stuff
large meat sandwiches into his mouth At
home, Julie would be feeding the kids
"S'matter, Dan? Thinking about Johnny
and Samoli?''
Dan got to his feet There was no point
in letting Peter get his goat. IN go drill
holes for the pegs"
Peters derisive laughter followed him
around the corner.
In the tunnel floor he drilled two holes,
leaving drill steel in each. To one he fas-
tened the ladder; to the second, a safety rope,
swapping the other end onto his heavy belt.
Peter called him. I'm going down now.
You stay here" He lowered himself over the
edge.
Without a rope?"
"You use them both, farmer" Peter said
as his light faded into the mists below Then

He was back up in few minutes. "I1l
need powder. A rock as big as house is ON
the hoses and machines"
When Dan returned from the powder maga-
zine on the level above. Peter had the jack
hammer over the side. He pocketed the sticks
of dynamite, coiled the ten-foot fuse around
his neck
IF I'm not back by milking time, Silas."
he said, don't watt
DAN put his safety rope back on. In less
than an hour he'd be through with mining
forever. He could stand Peter that long.
It was almost three o'clock when the noise
of the jack-hammer stopped. 'Fi-i-yer-r-rw
The sound aoated up through the stope.
Again, and third time Finally Peter clam
bered out of the darkness.
Dan moved toward the corner.
Going some place, Dan?"

A Short Short Story

W7HEN he reached the hilltop where the
w rocky. winding path entered the town.
Dan Polaski looked back. Far below they still
watched him, jules dress fash of red
against the black Stag mountain that loomed
above the cottage, the two boys blond heads
bright in the morning sun. He grinned, waved
his lunchbox, then swung down onto the
main street, toward the mine head-frame
beyond.
He walked proudly, head up, and swiftly
Today was the day for which Julie and he had
worked and waited these past eight years.
Today was his last day in the mine
Crossing the railroad tracks near the Com
pany property, he smiled along the silver,
shimmering rails. Tonight he'd take his little
family onto the train. They'd hurry south
through the darkness, coming to the green
hills in the dawn Tomorrow he'd no longer
be miner, blindly grubbing his days away
in the chill, black depths. He'd be a farmer,
his feet in soil he owned, his face upturned to
the sun. Eight years it had taken.
In the mine changehouse he sat down on
the bench before his locker to unlace his
shoes. One shift to 60.
''Polaski."
The shift boss came down the locker row
toward him. mo more drill blast muck 'er-
out, eh Dan?"
DAN grinned Somebody in my old place
already?"
Yeah. You help Peter Moros today. There
was small cave-in last night. Some stuff
went down with it. Machines, hoses, Tools
See what you can recover And you come up
early. About three, eh? They'll have your final
pay ready in the main Office"
Dan said, Where was the cave-in?"
''Stope 49," The shiftboss smiled. BE care
full down there"
Dan was thoughtful as he finished changing
clothes He was an extra man today, and re-
covering equipment was an extra job. Any
spare man would have got the same orders
But he didn't like Peter Moros, who was a
high-priced dd-job man. He didn't like
Peters queer, careless sense of humor. He
didn't particularly like Stope 80, either. A
vast underground cavern it was, with sheer
sidewalks falling away, black and Shiny, into
cold gray mists no headlamp could penetrate.
Evening star., 1948-05-09

why so glum, farmer? The thought of
forking manure every morning before break
fast beginning to get you already?"
Dan looked up. Peter Moros stood before
him, grinning.
NO"
"Well'then cheer up! If it was my last shift
I'd be singing. Probably drunk, too Then
they wouldn't let me underground, would
they? And that would be just fine
Someone said, sourly, Shouldn't let you
underground, drunk or SOBER
Peter hooted. 1--WE got to go down today
to mind this hayfoot It's his last shift, and
you know what sometimes happens to guys
on their last shifts" He turned again to Dan
Remember Johnny Damuk? He never fin
ished his last shift An ore train finished him
first. And Samoli Ruus? When we pulled him
out of the muck, we found boat ticket to
Finland in his pocket. Didn't we, farmer?"
''Hey!" the shiftboss shouted from the door,
"You guys going to stay up here all day?"
HE big electric clock above the doorway
showed 7:5O. Dan set his watch by it, then
remembered. He wouldn't be lighting any
fuses today at exactly 3:45. He was through
blasting. He grinned. Let Peter heclzle And
as far as SO was concerned - well, he'd been
there before.
They left the cage at the twelve-hundred-
foot level Dan followed Peter into maze of
small tunnels where the only lights were
those on their hats and where the noise of
their heavy rubber boots sloshing through
puddles echoed and swelled and crashed in
their ears. Finally sign said: '+SToPE 60
CAUTION"
Peter said, This used to open onto a
broad ledge part way up the sidewall, remem-
Der? After last night, there's no ledge any
more"
HE mists grew thicker and took on the
stale, chill smell of the stope They moved
more slowly. Rounding bend, Peter stopped.
At their feet, the floor ended abruptly. Peter
kicked small rock over the edge. When it
struck he grunted Sixty feet Well need
wirsrope ladder and jack-hammer before
we can even take look"
Dan eyed the walls and floor in the thin,
sharp beam of his headlamp And safety
ropes" he added Peter grinned.

PARCELS TO BRITAIN.
from J. X. F., HpdttspilIe. J

(From J. X. F., HydttSDtlle.)
To Mrs.W. M. W., Arlington: Your
English friends will most certainly
have to pay either custom duty or
purchase tax, and probably both,
on any such items as you have men
toned should you them them over
This may seem most unfair, but it
is an attempt by the English au-
thorities to see that every one shares
"austerity restrictions
The position regarding the avail
ability of clothing has improved dur
ing the last few months. The ex-
ception being nylon hose, many
English women would only be too
happy to pay custom dues in order
to get one or two pairs of these.
If clothing parcels are marked
Christmas Gift" there Is q posi-
bility of them going through without
custom dues being charges.
Foodstuffs and candy are not only
free from duty and taxes, but are
considered most welcome gifts by
the British. Their special shortages
are of shortening, butter, canned
meats, bacon, dried and canned
fruits. Sugar Especially brown and
confectionery, rice, nuts, cheese and
many other things are in short sup
ply. Flour is not rationed, but white
-four Is unobtainable.
If food parcels are sent, they
should be clearly marked "U. S. A.
Gift Parcel" the postage rate then
being 10 cents per pound, maximum
weight % pounds. Parcels may be
insured for an extra 20 cents.

With plastic and long-playing
records now accomplished facts,
records offer as much permanence
as any Christmas gift that comes
TO mind. And for those who are
tots and those in their teens, music,
adventure and information lie wait
ing for the turntable to give them
life.
When making your selection, re-
member not to "buy down." Ex-
perienced record persons reveal that
the tastes of American boys and
girls are quite sophisticated. Con-
siderably less recording has been
done with children older than nine
years in mind, but there are some
exciting things available for older
children, nevertheless.
For children in the IL to IA year
old group, Burl Ives, his Sing Out,
Sweet Land" album and his entire
collection of folk songs is natural
contender for top place on your list.
Then there is the album, Our
Common Heritage" composed Of
poems that celebrate milestones in
American history, read by Agnes
Morehead, Frederick March and
other artists.
Three sets of Songs of the AZ
rican Veldt' are available and ap-
pealing. Sea chanties, Sousa's
marches, albums of square dances
and Western polkas are inviting.
There is a Tex Ritter album Of chill
dren's songs and stories, complete
with folk songs inspired by the Pony
Express and Billy the Kid that Is
worth considering.
Eva LIE Gallienne and Bambi
Lynn and the rest Of the original
cast of Alice in Wonderland" can
be heard in one album. Ginger
Rogers also presents her version
Of CAROLS colorful kaleidoscope.
Herbert Marshall offers adventure
in "The Count Of Monte Cristo" and
1.-The Snow Goose" and Charles
Laughton hunts for the white whale
in "Moby Dick" Orson Welles and
Bing Crosby have combined their
talents to record The Happy
Prince" fantasy by Oscar Wilde.
Thomas Mitchell is Long John Sill
yer in Treasure Island" and Sydney
Greenstreet brings his sinister self
to Poe's creepy "Cask of Anon
tillado."
IT Can Hear It Now" the newly
releaS Sed album that catches effec-
lively the dramatic moments of the
13 years from 1892 to 1945 can
give youngsters a commendable "fll-
in" of the past.
The products Of a firm that con-
centrates exclusively on young peo-
pies records are worth investigating
at Christmastime and all the year
round. Only nonbreakable small
singles are offered. One of the latest

ones Is ''The Music Of Aaron Cop
land" designed for children from
7 to II, that subtly teaches q child
to understand a musical portrait Of
a great man (through playing part
Of Coplands Lincoln Portrait'0, Of
another colorful figure (through his
Billy the Kid BalletO and of an
other country Through his Eel Salon

halD. The sketch was written by
Raymond Abrashkin. Walter Hendl
conducts an orchestra composed Of
members of the New York Phil
harmonic Symphony Orchestra. This
company turned out similar and
successful treatment Of Igor Stra-
whisky last year. :
Also tailored to the 7 to II age
group Is said the Piano to the
Harpsichord," which explains,
through q conversation between the
two instruments, the fundamental
differences between them. Chill
dren, of course, have an opportunity
to hear the lovely but seldom heard
harpsichord. The story Is told by
David Rose, jr., and Gilbert Mack.
Also offered to the elementary
school age are THE Concertina
That Crossed the Country" featur-
ing folk tunes; The Birth Of Paul
Bunyan," Chisholm TRAIL" Jazz
Band" and country dances by Mo-
zart. The stories are clearly and
imaginatively told.
There Is series of delightful rec.
ords for children from 2 to 6, too.
Whoa, Little Horses. Lie Down." Q
new record, is particularly lovely.
Composed by Herbert Hanfrech Of
Ferdinand and the Bull fame, it
cleverly focuses the childs atten.
ton on the color, rhythm. tempo
and melodic line Of the orchestra.
Highly imaginative, it encourages
a more subtle appreciation of music.

ries, now on plastic, tell, respectively,
of the life of Mozart, Beethoven,
Tschaikowsky, Schumann and Cho.

CAVALRY BOOKLETSp
OVEN-COOKED RICE.

From r. D., Farlington.)
I have a Girl Scout troop which
Is most interested In working on
its horsewoman badge. I think
there must be some booklets still in
circulation put out by the United
States Cavalry which would help me
with technical details. Can any
one tell me where to find any Of
these?
No one has come up with my ia
vorite way Of cooking rice. In the
oven. 1t is absolutely perfect and
SO easy.
Take double the amount of boil
ing water to that of rice. For our
family Of four we use y cup rice and
.1R cups water. Put the unwashed
rice land any variety will do) in the
bottom Of casserole, pour the boiling
water over; cover tightly; pop into
an oven Of 325 degrees and leave 1t
alone for As minutes. use the
brown pottery ware with saucepan
handle, but any oven ware with a
lid will do.
This same rice has Cuban varia-
ton in which you fry or S cloves
Of garlic in tablespoons olive oil
until very brown. Strain and add
oil to the boiling water and proceed
as above.

Beauty
Notes

Always wanted a professional like
facial? Then you'll like the news
that has leaked out of New York to
Washington about q new skin aid
that has been received with q great
deal of enthusiasm by women who
have used 1t.
Upon investigating the matter
bit more we discovered that the
new product is lotion blending
delicate oils and astringents. A
concise instruction chart accom-
panies the package containing four
separate bottles so that you always
have fresh supply on hand. Here's
where you also get information
about the treatment as given by
trained experts.
This method perfected by lead
ing beauty house is really cor
rective contour treatment" 1t takes
10 minutes during which your fin
gers work in the oils and astringents.
The oils soak into your skin and
the astringents tone 1t, leaving your
skin fresher and smoother. It also
helps lift sagging muscles, smoothes
out lines and flattens those little
puffs around the jaw line. The
product comes in two versions One
for dry and normal skins and an
other for oily compilations.
There's q fight going on among
blonds to keep their light locks
looking lovely. Girls with golden
hair really have quite rough time
trying to keep their hair from fad
ing and streaking. At long last a
number of the light-haired gals
have discovered a preparation with
beneficial herbal base that Is
neither dye nor bleach. It's a non-
detergent hair Nlightener, possessing
an oxidized extract of fragrant
camomile flowers. When used &C
cording to directions, I am told, it
works beautifully E. S.
