to do-bgors yoM DO anything

You should do this because a
cold is almost invariably accom-
panied by muscular aches and
pains and a headachy. feverish
feeling. And for your own good.
you need a medication that will

and do it with amazing speed
is that they start disintegating

He said, Take that young fellow coming

Mr. Shays granddaughter, Nancy, thought
the tall young man looked more desperate
than lonely, but she didn't say so because she
knew her grandfather was exceedingly wise.
She said, May help you?"
The young man said, Il want to buy

Nancy showed him their best parrot. HE

That's me-" the parrot said.
Gould you teach him to say something
special?"
why yes, of course we car" Nancy said.
1--WE aim to please and satisfaction guaranteed.
What is it you want him to say?"
Henry loves Patricia" The young mans
ears turned pink, and embarrassment was
written on his earnest face.
Nancy said, 'tOh."
The parrot said, Get him."
Nancy said, 'Hush" to Lorenzo. Then she
explained, HE might have little trouble
with Patricia"
The young man said in his desperate way,

Il mean saying the word. Would Pat do

''She doesn't like Pat

She took sales slip and wrote down Henry

He said, Henry Jones. But don't send
him to me-"
You'll want him delivered to Patricia?
Would that be Mrs. Jones?"
Probably never" Henry Jones said. Its
Patricia Upshaw."
Nancy said, "And if you'll let us have your
phone number we'll call you when Lorenzo's
ready for an audition."
He GAVE her his telephone number. He said,
Shall pay you now?"
You'd better wait and see if he says it all
right The price is hundred and fifty dollars. "
Lorenzo said, That's me-"
Nancy was touched because Henry Jones
looked so desperate. Parrots are always
pretty expensive"
Lorenzo said, Get him"
Henry said, That's all right. Patricia likes
parrots. Her people were pirates"

Patricia had been thinking of announcing
their engagement, he said when this promo
ton had come along Now their unannounced
engagement was all off because Patricia
wouldn't think of going to Singapore. She
wanted to 60 to Biarritz. And she'd offered
the compromise of going to Biarritz for few
months, on long holiday, while he decided
about his future.
Il thought she'd like Singapore" Henry
said. Its romantic place"
Il always heard it was madly romantic" !"
Nancy said
"SURE, Henry said morosely. Flu Manchu
and Somerset Vaughan and all those birds.
But more than that, it's a.big deal for me. If
give up and go to Biarritz, what am I? I'm
something for her to trail on leash like
poodle"
Not poodle" Nancy said with profes-
sional authority. "Poodles have self-respect.
Are you really in love with her, Henry?"
How can tell? All know is I'd like to
wiring her neck"
That's supposed to be sign, Nancy said.
'But wonder if maybe it's because she's
challenged you, and you're up in arms to fight
it out. Wanting supremacy is not necessarily
being in love- Love is like a revelation. 1t

IF only could get through to Patricia"
Henry's voice was anguished. That was why
tried the parrot. But nothing will work. "

How do you know all this stuff, Nancy?

revelation"
What shall have Lorenzo say?"
Cant there be something nostalgia? Like
a song?"
Patricia doesn't like songs"

said. Maybe he could suggest something.
He's as wise as can be. 4"
The next morning Nancy told MIR. Shay all
about the trouble between Henry and Patricia.
Mr.. Shay said, why are you crying?
I'm so sorry for him." Nancy said, trying

After he had gone, Nancy said to her grand
father, Il felt so sorry for him."
Mr.. Shay said, ''Wen keep our eyes open.
It1l probably turn out he's spy and the
Patricia line is secret message"
Nancy rented tape recorder and said,
Henry loves Patricia" into it, and then
played it back where Lorenzo could hear. She
played it off and on for Lorenzo during the
next few days, and after week telephoned
Henry Jones and told him Lorenzo was ready.
He came in the next morning. He looked
sleepless. So did Lorenzo.
Lorenzo said, Henry loves Patricia" The
Patricia sounded like P0kIicia but it was
recognizable.
Henry said, That's real good infection"
'Isaid it as lovingly as could, Nancy said.
He looked at her and seemed to see her for
the first time. He said, ''Well, thank you"
Nancy said, my name is Nancy"
He said, Thank you Nancy. Are you old
enough to be involved in this lurid adven-
ture?"
I'm twenty"
I'm going on ninety-seven," Henry said.
He wrote check for the parrot as Lorenzo
chewed on toenail and cried, Henry loves
Patricia
That afternoon Tommy, the delivery boy,
took the parrot to Patricia's address and came
back and said the place was triplex apart
ment, with slug of servants He hadn't seen
Patricia.
Mr.. Shay said, THAT young fellows got
something up his sleeve. He might be an
international jewel thief"
Nancy said, Il suppose we'll never hear
how it comes out"
She kept thinking of Henry Jones and won
dering what had happened. A week or so
later Patricia came in, accompanied by
chauffeur bearing Lorenzo in his cage. Patricia
was dark-haired and very lovely. She looked
as though she had been carefully brushed with
clear lacquer. She was wearing a mink stole.
She said, ''I'm sorry. but I'm returning this
parrot Will you please see that he is sent
to the person who purchased him?"
Lorenzo said, Bon voyage, Henry" He
said the bon voyage with an excellent French
accent.
Hes darling" Patricia said. But I'm
afraid he has known the wrong people"

Then Nancy said, do you mean Lorenzo?"
The lacquer was troubled only for a moment,
and Patricia said, Eyes. Good-by, Lorenzo"
Patricia went away, and Nancy telephoned
Henry. He said not to send Lorenzo to his
apartment, that he'd be right over. Then
Nancy went to mirror and draped lowered
brdcage covers over her shoulders like Patri-
cia's mink stole.
Mr.. Shay said, You're million times
prettier. Your eyes are as blue as the sky
over Galway With moonlight"
Nancy said, Il wonder how she looks so
smooth and shiny"
Diamond dust, Mr. Shay said. ''You put
it on a grinding wheel and polish. One of the
hardest substances known to man."
Lorenzo shouted, Bon voyage, Henry"
when Henry appeared.
Henry said, Traitor"
Nancy said, 1T isn't really his fault.
II know. She charmed him. She comes
from long line of witches. Well, guess
that's that" He looked miserable.
Nancy said softly, "I'm awfully sorry"
Henry ran his hand through his hair. well,
Ill sell Lorenzo back to you. Ill make you
good used parrot price"
Nancy said, "But surely you're not giving
up"
Lorenzo said, Bon voyage, Henry"
He said, There's my answer"
"But the fact that she went to all the
trouble to teach him an answer means some
thing. 1t means all she's been doing is staying
home and teaching him and being mad at YOU"
''Is that good?"
'Of course it is.
What could say this time?"
Nancy considered. "It all depends. You
see don't know what the trouble is.''
Its me- I'm unreasonable. Look, could
take you out to dinner tonight and tell you
about it?''

NEW YORK, July 4.-The
stock market kept rolling ahead
in it's recovery movement this
week despite several severe hand
leaps.
War and taxes were high on
the list of stumbling blocks, but
the desire to celebrate the Ma
tion's independence really put
the damper on business.
The stock market hit bottom
for the year nearly a month
ago. For the last three weeks
the trend has been higher.
Such strength has encouraged
many to hope that July and Au-
gust will conform to their his
toric pattern and result in an
upward movement in the market.
This week. however, the ad-
vance was dimmed by the fact
that volume diminished mark
edly.
The daily average of trading
came to only 877 900 shares. That
is the lowest daily average since
the third week in May of 1949
when it came to 874,000 shares.
Traders were timid. They were
reluctant to take a position in
the market. The public as well
seemed to show no enthusiasm
whatever for trading.
Considerable Selectiveness on
the buying side developed, as it
usually does in dull times, and
many brokers voiced the theme

Exchange More Active

Activity picked up on the
Washington Stock Exchange in
June. but remained behind a
year ago, exchange officials re-
ported yesterday.
June trading accounted for
1881 shares, compared with
9,007 in the previous month and
16,058 shares in June, 1852. The
exchange also handled 1891
rights to Potomac Electric COM
mon. which speeded up activity
sharply for few days. For six
months this year the exchange
traded 88,160 shares VS.. 1872, ,440 a
year earlier.
Bond trades in June totaled
$1,000 VS.. $4,000 in the previous
month and $1,000 in June, 1852.
For the six months, $171 500 Of
bonds were handled VS.. $1O5 900 a
year earlier.
A decline in Pepco common, in
connection with an offering Of
additional stock, and its sub
sequent recovery, was the fea-
ture of prices. Pepco dropped to
16 but came back to 1873. Other
prices were mostly steady.

LATE SUMMER vegetables offer
many ways of tempting jaded appe-
tites.
Fried Corn: HuSk and silk to
IL ears of corn, and cut from the
cob, using very sharp knife and
cutting off only about half the depth
of the kernels. After cutting all
around the ear, use the back of the
knife to scrape out the remaining
juice and pulp, scraping downward
only, not back and forth. For cups
of corn, heat IS cup butter (or half
butter and half bacon fat) sizzling
hot in skillet. Add corn and enough
water to give consistency of thin
gravy, season with salt, and cook
with constant stirring for five min
utes, then reduce heat to simmering,
cover tightly, and cook about 20
minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
The corn at this point should be
quite thick. Good not or cold. 5
