It is the strange fusion of souls, of spiritual entities in man and woman, when consciousness of love Ls declared, mutual and sincere. It grows with a sudden ecstatic- surge, thence in a gentle and somehow staccato harmony, ever increasing, never reaching an end of its own accord. It is as old as Adam, but each man must dis- cover it for himself. Robert Barry discovered it there when death was hovering, when he fully be- lieved that both he and Melissa were losing their minds. They had been lost in utter darkness for many hours, per- haps several days. They could not even guess" how long. They had slept at times, fitfully. Em- bracing each other now, in th* most sacred of moments, they re- mained silent and very still. Sec- onds passed â€" Bob knew not how many â€" and then suddenly Bob got a grip on himself. He saw himself as a whimpering baby afraid of the dark. Anger re- placed fear. Then his trained mind took command. * • • The Rescue Party "Why, I'm not hysterical!" He murmured it to himself, even as he held Mary Melissa there. "On the contrary, I feel remarkably calm." He shook his head, as if to clear his eyes of the darkness. He looked behind him again, which would be down. " 'LISSA!" He aimost shrieked k. " 'Lissa!" He was tense with excitement again. But he forced himself to be analytical, critical of his own Tactions. No, this was not hys- teria. " 'LISSA! That IS a light! Lookâ€" HEY! HEY.' HELP!" Thirst had muted his voice tex'- ribly, but . he made all the noise he could. He threw rocks. 'Lissa yelled too, and between them thry made a din of it. Voices answered, from far be- low. The two understood no word, but they were suffused with happiness. Salvation seemed at hand. They were almost hya- tercial with anticipation now. "It's Hades Jones! It's Jones! And Holliman! They must have found an outlet hole below some- where. They're coming! Oh, 'Lissa, they've found us! They â€" " She too was talking, jabber- ing. They called and hallowed, and hugged each other as the lights grew stronger. Help was approaching. They dared not move much, lest they fall over the ledge, but they squirmed in righteous glee. The rostMe party wai« .slow in approaching. It had been far be- low, and the lights disappeared frequently as the men moved around r<:ck formations. They flickered, too. Bob saw. He bf- gan to wonder. Why in the name of goodness hadn't Hades used one of the lanterns, instead of torches. Slow Burning CIGARETTE PAPERS NONt HNf» MAOt DOUBLE *^"°^o'o';,^,,. ISSUE 27â€" '40 "Hello, HADES? Holliman?" Bob yelled, when he knew they ivere within 30 yards or so. The lights stopped instantly. No answer came. Pi'ogi-ess of tha rescuers seemed very strange, then. Bob and 'Lissa peered at them intently. "Hey, what's the matter? Can't you see us?" Bob was impatient. Other lights were ignited ther, an the group separated. Bob and 'Lissa couldn't distinguish the approaching men clearly, but he began to think he saw a half doz- en or more forms. Moreover, there was a new and absolutely strange murmur of voices. "Bob!" whispered 'Lissa. "Are you â€" all right? Do you see what I do? I mean, are we out of our minds? Is this another nightmare after all?" "NO! No, I'm sure! But I don't know what. It's not our party, that's certain. Stand stUl, and watfh. HELLO THERE! WHO IS IT? WE NEED HELP!" Somebody answered immediat- !y, but â€" in a strange tongue! Bob was utterly amazed. He was a linguist. He spoke Span- ish, the Mexican dialects of it, not to mention the ordinary In- dian languages of southwestem tribes. But this garble was for- eign to him. And the men them- selves, slowly approaching, were foreign. The whole thing was impos- sible. It was a scene from some weird, imaginative fairy tale, a bit of stage imagery, theatrical and impressive and almost dev- ilish. Bob was breathing hard, and he could feel 'Lissa tremb- ling. 'Good Lord!" He mumbled it. "I never knew it would be this way." But in the same moment he knew it was real ! The light was visible. The men were tangible. They were brown men, he could see now, which would most likely make them In- dians. But the setting, the utter- ly fantastic circumstance â€" it was something to read by a fireside and sooff at, or a bit of trickery from Hollywood, except for tha salient fact that the brown people approaching were absolutely alive, and that his own mind w^as now as clear and alert as he had ever known it to be. • • • From A Lost World The strangers spoke repeat- edly to him. Some of them, he noted, held weapons; rather well made weapons of natural sticks and stones. They wore scant clothing, mostly loin cloths and a crude sort of sandals. They were muscular men, and they were graceful, but they were not menacing. They tried time and again to c-ommunicate with Bob and Me- lissa, one man especially doing the talking. Bob talked back, in all the dialects he knew, but in vain. Then he motioned for water â€" and got it. Some man had brought a skin container, from which 'Lissa then Bob drank and asked no ques- tioius. Bob forced her to take it swallow at a time, with long waits between, lest she suffer spasms of sickness and pain. Somewhere he had fortunately heard this warning. probably fi'om oIB Hades. They got food, too, a dried meat. It was hard, and unsaltcd, but it was an ambrosia. Bob then thought to divide the last small piece of chocolate i-andy with 'Lissa, but suddenly thrust it Kl thp man who appeared to be lead- er. The brown man sniffed it, tasted it. ate it then with child- ish glee. All the brown men had been staring with a c«nsumin? curiosity, at white skin, at cloth- ing, at Mary Melissa especially. Finally they signaled to the two to come, heading back down the trail. "I suppose we'll awaken after a while, honey." Bob grinned and held her as they walked. "Biu whatever this is, it's one to write do*ii in the books!" She gave no answer. She .vas too ovfiwhelmed.

In the New York area, where 70 per cant, of women's hats are manufactured, milliners say that three-quarters of a million fewer hats were sold iu early months of 1940 than in the same period last year. They're taking steps. The Millin- ery Stabilization Committee, to which most of them belong, has set up a bureau to find the cause of the hatless trend and to combat it. Why don't you wear a hat when you should, they'd like to know? The milliners are doing something about it. They've enlisted the sup- port of dealers, movie producers and college boys. They say the mov- ie people promise to make film stars wear hats more often. College boys are writing pro-hat editorials in campus newspapers, saying meu don"t like hatless women.

James Mansfield, of To- ronto, Celebrated Birthday by Flying to Ottawa by The Trans-Canada Airline* TORONTO, Juno 21 â€" A new re- cord for air travel in Canada was set last week when Mrs. Jamas Mansfield, of Toronto, stepped on board a Trans-Canada .Airliner for the first time. Born just one year before the turn of the half-way mark of the 18th century, Mra. Mansfield made her initial air trip at the 89th year. She Is the oldest passenger yet to be carried by the Trans-Cauada Air Lines. Mrs. Mansfield flew to Ottawa on the 6 o'clock evening plane, ac- companied by her daughter, Miss Hilda Mansfield, who was also making her first flight. Mrs. Mans- field dacided to take the trip fol- lowing the enthusiastic descrip- tions ot her son, A. L. Mansfield, of Ottawa, who "commutes" regu- larly between the Capital and Tor- onto. He convinced his mother that she was missing a great thrill by not taking the trip and he was at the Ottawa airport to holp her to alight. A MODERN WOMAN According to another son, S> J. Mansfield, secretary-treasurer of the Miller Services. Ltd., Toron'o, his mother is one oi; the most mod- ern of women. Enjoying perfect health, Mrs. Mansfield is an ardent believer in the "daily dozen" mora- iug exercises, in which she touches her toes with ease, but during the summer she never misses a daily plunge at the summer home, on Sturgeon Lake. Mrs. Mansfield tra- velled on the old Grand Trunk Rail- way when it was a novelty. She had her first ride in the automobile when people rushed to windows, or stood on the curb and goggled at a passing car. Now, she is rounding out her ti-avel experience of novel- ties on the railway and the highway by taking to the airway â€" ust S9 years young. Housewives Have Fewer Accidents Percentage of Highway Crashes Caused by Them Is Comparatively Small, Survey Reveals Percentage ot highway accidents caused by housewives in driving cars is comparatively small when compared with chauffeurs, unskil- led labor, clerks, business and pro- fessional men, according to the re- port of Commissioner .Arthur W. Magee. of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Bureau. The findings are based upon the analysis of a survey of 5.000 drivers. UNSKILLED LABOR MOST The two occupations which pro- duced the highest percentages of accidents were unskilled labor and clerical workers. While the fair dri- vers were involved in more acci- dents than either of the two speci- fied occupations, allowances must be made for greater exposure to traffic hazards by reason of great- er mileagt* and longer hours of driv- ing. Professional men. whose num- bers are fewer than the other oc- cupational classifications, compris- ed only oVi per cent ot the accident drivers. ^keCmudecK^ Handy Hints Egg added to soup to m.ake it more nourishing should be beaten first, and the ho* soup poured very slowly over It. If only the yolk is being u.sed, beat it with a very lit- tle milk â€" then pour the soup over it. Sievea that have been used tor sifting dry ingredients, such as flour, do not require washing every time after use, but can be effective- ly cleaned by brushing well with a clean, dry brush. When the sieve Is washed, however, see that it is well dried in front of the fire and brushed before putting away or the mesh is lable to become clogged and the si-^ve to rust around the edges.

CHAMBERS Helpful Hints For Hot Weather All homemakers face many dif- ficult problems, as they try cheer- fully to go about their tasks, in the hot trying days which are sure to be with us in the next few weeks Menu-planning can be made much simpler if you organ- ize your work systematically. Firstly, a word as to your sup- plies. Whether for company, es- pecially the unexpected guests, or for just the ordinary family needs, a carefully stocked pan- try, refrigerator or whatever means you have for food storage will help simplify the tasks ai> nothing else. This storing can be very ec-onomically done by care- ful planning and personal selec- tion. A few extra supplies should be added each week, with your regular ordering, which keeps within the budget. This can com- mence some weeks before. Consider these items when making out your list: â€" a variety of canned cream soups; one or two varieties of canned fish; po- tato chips; gelatine jelly pow- ders; junket; a few canned vege- tables. Of course the vegetables will not be required as frequent- ly as the other items because you will be having on hand the luscious fresh vegetables, which are appearing, new ones each day. Of course you will try always to have on hand fresh lettuce, par.=- ley, watercress with a sprinkle of onions and radishes. No doubt most of you will have most of these in your gardens and for those gardens lee us be truly thankful. What a joy to pick one's own vegetables mois; with dew! Please note, that most ot the supplies named can be made ready with a minimum amount of labor and previous preparation. Of course you will have on hand too a supply of salad dressing (which can be made some day as you are preparing a meal) that your supply will not be exhaust- ed. Do not neglect to add some of the cheese productions, which are so nutritious and add that in- comparable touch to so many dif- ferent dishes. To simplify your work and also redui."e your cooking budget al- ways make an extra pie shell or two and some tart shells. These will be all ready for fresh frui^ and whipped cream which make the most delicious of the quickly prepared desserts. Another hint valuable to you: have ready in containers (prob- ably jelly glasses, covered, and each carefully marked) the fol- lowing: â€" chopped nuts or (rolled) grated cheese, rolled cracker crumbs, bread crumbs dried and rolled. These will keep perfectly if your containers have tightly fitted covers and will be worth their weight in gold, as you pre- pare many of your menus con- taining some one of the follow- ing. Then again remember, that pie-paste prepared and kept ready in refrigerator for rolling, when- ever needed and cookie dough can be made the night or day before and kept in the same manner. Both these are invaluable helps in simplifying your daily task;-. Now for a few recipes, which are different â€" Potato Salad 3 cups cooked potfttc diced 1 cup finely chopped celery 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion 1 tablespoon chopped pimento 1 extra tablespoon pimento tj cup chcpped ripe cl' c* Boiled salad dressing Salt and pepper Crisp watercress Slices of hard cooked egg In preparing potatoes for dic- ing c?o not boil them until they are so tender that thev break too esaily.
