A pass-through between the
kitchen and dining room as illus
trated above can save the busy
housewife many a step, American
Builder magazine points out. A
principle advantage of the ar
rangement is that it provides
counter space for dishes, making
it unnecessary to travel several
times from the kitchen to the din
ing room in placing food on the
table. The same holds true when
it comes to clearing the table
after the meal. Another feature of
the wall opening is that it permits
easy communication between per-
sons in the dining room and
kitchen and improves illumina-
ton, particularly if the amount
of outside window space is lin
tied in either room.

WHAT ABOUT
THE DOWN COW?

q: What causes cows to go
down?
A: There are several causes;
among them are leukemia, aceto.
nemia, milk fever, hardware dis
ease, and nutritional deficiencies.
Or the trouble may stem from
fractured bones, nerve injuries and
various poisons from infections
and food sources.
@: Are these diseases very dead
ly?
A: Most of them can prove fatal.
@: What should

A: His first NE)HG ~
step should be to- EA

rian, so the trouble can be dag.
nosed and corrective treatment
started. While waiting for profes.
sional help it's good idea to
cover the COW with warm, heavy
blankets, because in most of these
cases the cows temperature usu-
ally drops. This is especially true
of milk fever. Keeping her warm
helps her chance for recovery. Do
not try to move the COW as it may
lead to further injury and compli-
cations.
O: Is there any advance warn.
ing that a COW is about to go
down?
A: In milk fever, the COW often
looks dull and doesn't like to move
around. In leukemia, there may
be a swelling of the lymph glands
in the neck, general weakness, loss
of appetite and wasting away.
Hardware disease" is marked by
a loss of appetite, grunting and
other symptoms.
@: How successful is treatment?
A: 1t depends on the individual
case and how quickly treatment is
started. Modern techniques are
now saving many down cows
which would have been considered
hopeless cases a few years ago.

 i One recent day, mother read the Three Bears to baby, who went around all after noon muttering Hand sakes" , as the mother bear did when she found someone had been in her chair.
 So when father came home, mother asked baoy to tell him what the mother bear said after seeing the evidence of Goldilocks, and junior, with. out batting an eye, announced ''goddam".
 An ardent local fisherman, who ordered a mail order fish, ing rod, got over-excited when | a long, cylindrical package ar rived from Sears-Roebuck. Not stopping to think that he'd ordered from Monkey | Ward, he took out his pocket knife, slit the wrapper, and opened the package.

The ANGRY SINNER
Continued from page nine

the lot old man Harkness had
beQueathed to the church. An
ugly mud levee cut across it at
an angle, leaving an oddly shaped
piece of land on which there were
only weeds and a few scrub will
lows. He got out and paced it,
ignoring the sticky mud that
chung to his shoes.
SOME generosity! A building
thirty by fifty would practically
cover all the usable ground. He
stopped suddenly, looking down
at the mud. A slow, wty, sardonic
grin crossed his face. What a
joke! What a first-class, down.
to-earth, cash-on-the-barrel-
head kind of joke!
He got back into his car and
drove some distance to Earl
Kenyon's house. There were a
number of cars parked in front
80 he drove on to a drugstore
and went in to use the phone.
Earl? Ben Huckins. Look:
day after tomorrow I'm pouring
a concrete slab thirty by fifty for
a community youth hut. I'll
supply the asbestos shingles and
the wall board, too. How about
you donating the lumber?"
Hey, wait minute!' Earl
gasped. What is this?"
''Call it a shakedown." Ben
said curtly. ''Do you or don't
you want in?"
who you sore at?" Earl de-
manded. Thirty by fifty -
that's a lot of lumber!"
'sNEvER mind who I'm sore at, "
Ben said. This is a rush job.

What electrical contractors
had the best year?" Ben said.
Earl snorted. IAN of 'em. Joe
Pearce, maybe. He had that big
job in Watertown."
"Joe's my man, then. And
Earl = this is top secret. Make
sure everybody who works on
the deal understands it."
BY the time he got home he
was well on the way. Evelyn was
in the kitchen, fixing a snack of
soup and toast for the boys, and
he ate some, too. She didn't
speak to him, and he didn't speak
to her, but her silence didn't hurt
the way it usually did. He nursed
his secret, gloating a little.
It was midnight when he went
to bed. He had a fairly complete
floor plan drawn and tomorrow
he'd get an architect to finish it.
He had concrete. lumber, wiring
and a reluctant plumber.
BY THE end of the week the
slab was in, the studs up, the
roof on and the fireplace almost
finished. Abe Decebaum stopped
him on the street.
Look" Abe said. Il live here.
My kids belong to the Scouts.
How come you don't come near

Ben pushed his hat back on
his head. "What've you heard?"
"I-know what's goin' on. How

How'd you find out?"
Abe grinned. ''Radar."
Ben laughed. "Abe. you're all
right. / didn't come to you be-
cause after all the buildings 60

''Okay," Abe said. "All the
kids gonna use it - that's good
enough for me. What do you
