FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

MEM ENTO: Millionaire
steel magnate Andrew Car
negie and his wife enter
tained lavishly IN their New
York mansion. Leaders of the
financial and artistic world
were frequent guest at their
dinner table.
Unlike other society queens,
Mrs. Carnegie did not keep
a guest book. She did, how
ever, keep a memento of her
most memorable dinners. At
such occasions, she would
have the guests sign their
names on the tablecloth in
large letters. Later, she would
have the autographs en-
broidered and the tablecloths
would be saved as a permar-
ent record.
LETTERS: One morning
in 1848, Mexican War hero
Gen. Zachary Taylor was
handed a stack of letters by
the mailman. The general
picked out the letters he
wished to keep and returned
the others. At that time, the
receiver, not the sender, Of
a letter paid the postal
charges.
Among those for which he
refused to pay the charge
was an unimpressive looking
envelope poStmarked Wash
ington. The contents of the
envelope remained a mys-
terry to him until a month
later, when he learned that
it was a note informing him
that he had been nominated
for the presidency of the
United States.

Dusting or spraying should
be continued, especially in
the rose garden if blackspot
and insect damage is to be
prevented. A regular spray
or dusting program is es-
sential. Be sure to apply the
dust or spray to the under
sides of the leaves.
Insect War
Unless the gardener is
willing to use Tedion he
should apply three sprays or
dusts to the foliage of
aZaleas and other shrubs af-
f1icted with the red spider
mites, lacefiies and other
sucking insects. The sprays
or dusts should be applied
every 4 to 7 days, depending
upon the temperatures.
Malathion is one Of the best
of the contact materials used
in their control. However,
they only kill the adults, not
the eggs or the nymphs.
Thus, the necessity Of the
three applications.
Beetle Time
Now is the time to expect
the Japanese beetle to ap-
pear and start feeding upon
trees, shrubs and flowers.
They do not trouble the
vegetables, except sweetcorn.
They are particularly de-
Structive of fruits which
should be sprayed to protect
the foliage as well as the
fruits. Lacking anything else,
use flour or lime because they
avoid visible leaf coverings.
When using beetle traps put
them at one side of the prop
erty because the traps at
tract the beetles with a bait.

Tulip Digging

Now that the tulip foliage
is maturing the bulbs may be
dug and stored for replanting
in the fall. This is not a
must chore, however, tulips
are likely to rot in poorly
drained hot soils. A heavy
mulch will keep the soil cool
and in most cases the bulbs
will come through in fairly
good condition. The shallower
they were planted the more
likely the tulip bulbs are to
divide and produce smaller
blooms next season. Some
varieties are better in this
respect than others. A few

DR.. Cole, in a prepared paper

Consistent With History
This possibility is consistent
with the history of major de-
velopments in medicine" he
said. "Vaccines and so-called
miracle drugs which have
overcome many of mankind's
most lethal diseases were pos
sible long before they were
actually applied"
To date. the only recognized
cancer cures involve surgery
and radiation, and these are
too often unsuccessful. Re-
searchers, however, are prob

different drugs and chemicals

disease may be caused by

ut is possible" said DR.. Cole,
that in the vast mass Of basic
data, still piling up at a fan
tastic rate, there may reside
clues which could lead now to
a substantial measure of can
GER control"
The key, he said, could rest
"in the equations of the bio
physicist or the biochemist, or
in the phenomena noted by the
immunologist.
Little Miracles Seen

that many Of the cancers we
now consider beyond hope will
prove durable. Studies in my

CHAPTER 10
The Search for the Ship

With a thrust of his flippers,
Michael dove deep into the sea.
Breathing air from the lung on
his back he glided oown, down,
down.
What a strange sensation it
was! He felt as If he were
weightless, floating through
space. He laughed and turned a
lazy somersault and landed with
a soft plop in a meadow of
crimson grass at the bottom of
the sea.
"Grunt. gruntn
Michael looked down In
amazement. A blue stripe fish
darted around his legs. grunting
furiously. Chasing the grunt
fish was an eel-like creature.
10 feet long.
Before he had time to be
afraid. Michael grasped the
astonished eel by the head and
tail, tied 1t into a knot and sent
it rolling like a hoop across the
ocean floor.
The grunt fish stared at
Michael in awe. It dartnd ava"
and, a moment later, returned
with all its brothers and sisters.
With q chorus of happy grunts
they surrounded Michael. He
had made his first ocean
friends.
Evening star., 1960-12-15

they set out again to search the
sea. Still there was no sign of
the sunken ship.
Day after day went by and
Michael began to doubt that
there ever had been such q ship.
He thought of Santa and the
sleeping elves. what II there
really wasn't any wreck and no
pearl to be found" he won-
dered. How then will Costen-
bricker ever remember the
magic words that will waken
the elves in time for
Christmas?"
Even the old man began to
doubt that the ship was there.
At night. under Michael's urg-
ing. he tried his best to remem-
ber the forgotten words that
would break the spell.
"It's no use," he would al
ways say IN the end. my mind
is muddled by a thousand
years"
Then one morning he woke
and cried. boy. I've remem-
bered!"
Michael sprang up. "The
words?"
mot the words! The ship!
I remember where she sank. It
was at the foot of a great is
land cliff. She fioundered on
the rocks beneath it. Find the
cliff and well find the ship.
Into the boat, boy-today we'll
find the pearl!"
But as they struggled to fold
up the parasol they heard a
sudden cracking on the beach.
Turning, they saw an awful
sight: The rowboat was in
flames!

Did you find her?" asked
Costenbricker eargerly.
Michael shook his head.
Take the oars" ordered
Costenbricker. ."WeIl try an
other spot"
They rowed to another spot
but when Michael dove again
it was the same story: There
was no wreck to be seen. That
night they. beached the boat on

All EdSS
Opening lead: Diamond deuce.
South played the hand at four
spades, and West opened the
deuce Of diamonds. South went
down two tricks, but was more
to be pitied than blamed. How
did this happen?
It looks impossible at FIRST
glance. The opponents can
take their two aces. but then
South should be able to win the
rest. He can easily draw trumps
and discard on dummy's good
diamonds.
Still. it did happen, and South
didn't do anything terrible.
Work 1t out.
Brilliant Defense
The answer is that East put
up q brilliant defense. After
winning the first trick with the
ace Of diamonds. East shot back
the queen Of clubs! q.
It's easy for US to see from
our armchairs that South could
win the rest Of the trick by
putting up the king Of clubs.
South didn't have our advan-
tagesof seeing all Of the cards.
South assumed that East had
led from o club suit headed by
the queen-jack. II this were
true, South's best chance to win
q club trick was to play low.
When East's queen held the
trick, he continued with the
eight Of clubs. South continued
on the assumption that East
held the Jack Of clubs. in which
case it was still correct to play
a low club.
West won with the Jack Of
clubs and returned q club to the
ace, thus defeating the contract.
Don't 60 away. Remember.
South was beaten two tricks.
How did that happen? To add
insult to injury, East led his
last club. and West ruffed with
the jack Of spades. Dummy
had to use the king Of spades
to over-rufi. and now East made
q trick with the queen Of spades.
You are entitled to scold
South II you've never been
