ft SALADA VACUUM-SEALED COFFEE hronicles ^ingerEvrm CcBvs arc the cussedcst things! Iliey have just ahout driven us irazy this last week with their l>a\vling. To make the best use of the pasture Partner switches the ctiWb around from one field to an- other and also into a small patch of pasture at the hack of the house. And what hapi ens? K\ery time the cows catch sight of Partner they haw! their heads ofT, expect- ing him to turn them into another liastureâ€" just the same as a spoilt i-hild will hawl until lie gets what he wants. After being the the back- yard the cows were worso than ever because here they were able to Ret a good feed of apples . . . and they figured that was just what the doctor ordered. One day while tliey were feed- ing near the house Partner asked nie to keep an eye on them while lie went up to the back field to fix a fence. "Mind they don't get into that barbed wire under the cherry trees," cautioned Partner. So I took my string beans and sat on the front step to cut them. That way, although I could not ketp the cows in view all the time I could certainly sec them if they got any- where near the barbed wire. Every- thing was quiet and I thought how well they were behaving themselves â€" not coming near the barbed wire at all. But suddenly there was one terrific bellow â€" like an animal in pain. I jumped to uiy feet . . . ana away went the beans, of course. 1 ran to the back of the yard . . . there was Drowsey, one of our Durham heifers â€" complete with horns â€" with its head right through the wire fence. Now what to do! I remember Partner always thought it advisable in such an emergency to approach quietly and cut one of the fence wires to release the cow's head. He had explained to me that if left to pull herself loose she was liable to do a lot o'' damage to the fence. I could well believe that as I watched this heiler pulling and tugging, this way and that, while I stood help- less â€" remembering that Partner had taken the fence pliers with him. ygp^"^^^ 612 For that Somebody .New â€" a pretty gift!

"Well," I thought to myself, "she's going to damage the fence anyway, so I might as well help her do it." So I got into the next field and walked along very quietly until 1 was facing the heifer. I could see that if I could only get one horn back through the fence she might manage to get the rest of her head free without too much trouble. So I grabbed one horn with both hands and hung on for dear life. Together we rocked back and forthâ€" the heifer, the fence and 1. One time she pulled back so far I thought the whole fence svas go- ing â€" and I with it. Finally the heifer quieted down a bit and I managed to get th.; tip of her horn through the square wire mesh. Sure enough, that was all that was necessary. In a few seconds Drow- sey had her whole head, horns and all, free once more. She backed hurriedly away and then to my sur- prise she came running up to the fence again, pawed the ground and bellowed like a bull. Whether she was mad at me or the fence I wouldn't know â€" but fortunately she didn't try getting her head tangled up any more. I might add that all the time I was doing the mercy act the other 14 cows were also grouped around the fence bawling lustily. They didn't make the work any easier because I knew what would happen if the fence should collapse. Honestly, cows are the cussedcst thingsâ€" if you'll excuse the expression. Sunday afternoon we had another cow adventure. Daughter »nd one of our nieces were here for the weekend so we went to the back of the farm looking for choke- cherries. We also wandered into one of our neighbors' fields where there were about 30 head ol cattle. Immediately they saw us they came across the field -on the run. Have you noticed â€" cows are the most inquisitive things besides be- ing cussed. As they came nearer we turned and faced them and they stopped dead. We walked on and they came after us again. Then Tippy came running out of the bush and put them to rout. I called her off, thinking the cattle would now be ready to leave us alone. But no, back they came again. We had only a little way to go to reach the fence so niece Babs took t' her heels and was over it like a shot. Daughter and I were not really alarmed, although if you get in among a herd of strange cows you never can tell . . . Which reminds me â€" a few weeks ago we had a visit from two govern- ment inspectois, Uacking down Dutch elm disease They told us that across the road there appeared to be no one at home but that a huge, angry bull had chased them Oi of the field; They didn't find out whether the elm trees on that rm were diseased or â-  ot. So there you have it â€" although 1 had no idea I was going to fill this column with cows when 1 sat down to write it. ^H ' 1^^ J^IP^ f '^^'^W^'^^fi^^^-pZ I^^K^^imMR "^^ ^^^iSH pill 1 «. in^WTTix^J 1 ^- "''W ;^ Just My Type â€" Michelle Hildebrand examines the tattooed blood type marking on Sally Christian after civilian defense committee approved a plan for blood type tattoos on all citi- zens.

He finally told me that he had stopped seeing the girl, as he had promised â€" but he couldn't get her off his mind. He said he could not stand being dishonest or mean to me any longer. He asked nie to stick by him and be more under- standing when he got in these moods. "I am not sure that he loves me any more. But I'm willing to do this (or anything you say) because I love him. "We have talked about my taking the children and leaving for a while, so he could work it out better by himself. We have discussed his gojng away for a change, too. He does not want either.

Then look at some of the official figures on earth's hot and cold places, gathered by the National Geo- graphic -Society. There's .^zizia, in northwestern Libia, for example, where the high- est temperature ever officially re- corded, on September 1.^, 1922, was 136.4 degrees Fahrenheit. The United States also has a hot spot or two. An official reading ol 134 degrees has been taken in Death X'alley, joutheastern Cali- fornia, where the United States Weather Bureau lias a station on the valley'.' edge. Mong the coast of the Persian Gulf in southern Iran unofficial tf-mpertiturcs of 150 to 180 degrees have been recorded in the boiling sun. The town of Ahwaz claims it gets up to ISO degrees or more, while on Abadan Island, at the top of the gulf, the mercury in unpro- tected thermometers has been re- ported to climb to a lofty 189 degrees. For those interested in ^ecintj how low the mercury can drop â€" the place to visit is the northern Siberian village of N'^erklioyansk.

Paper Dress Patterns Now 100 Years Old Winifred Pegler, editor of two publications which specialize in , providing patterns for the home knitter and dress maker, recently . gave^a.njojt interesting talk in the B.B.C. Overseas Service on the malcing of paper patterns for women's clothing. Although home dressmaking has played its part in women's lives since time imme- morial it is only in the last hun- dred years that paper patterns have been available. This revolution in home dressmaking cam: about, surprisingly enough, through the famous cookery expert, Mrs. Bee- ton. She visited Paris with her husband and arranged for a regular supply of French fashion plates to be sent to them for inclusion in their monthly publication, "The English- woman's Domestic Magazine." These plates became so popular that people wanted to copy them and Mrs. Beelon decided to cut pat- terns from them which would be supplied to readers on application. These enabled all English women to be fashionably dressed, a distinction enjoyed before only by those who had money to employ a professional dressmaker. Statistics show that more and more women throughout the world are now studying dressmaking and making their own clothes but pro- bably few people stop to think how paper patterns are evolved. A great deal of creative and technical skill is needed to make a good one. Fash- ion staffs in London, Paris and New York send designers all the latest fashion news. The designer digests this information, puts her ideas into a sketch and a finished model gar- ment in muslin is made from this. A photographed copy of the final drawing, with a written description of the garment and all necessary details such as suggested fabrics in which to make it, is then sent to the pattern-making department and given to a highly skilled cutter. She achieves the almost tniraculous feat of transforming a flat sketch into shapes that, when assembled, will become a fashionable garment. These shapes are then traced on ^ to heavy paper which eventuallv j becomes the Master Pattern. A i tissue is cut from this and sent to I a dressmaker who has not previously seen the design. She makes the garment in one of the suggested materials and for the first time this is tried on a living model. Evervone connected with making the pat- tern attend? this fitting and every detail is checked. The dress and the artist's drawing must correspond exactly because the drawinfj will be tl-.e picture on the envelope con- taining the pattern and the finished garment must look exactly like the picture. The second stage of con- structing a paper pattern is the writing of easy-to-follow instruc- tions with simple sketches as guides to the various stages of making. Patterns of different sizes are then cut and a chart drawn, giving cut- ting-out diagrams for use with mat- erials of different widths. Last of a!! the patterns are cut from the master which is placed on thick piles of tissue paper and the outlines cut by hand with a fine blade. The pieces are then folded and packed together with instructions in their envelopes. Miss Pegler pointed out that the •very first paper patterns were dir- ect copies of Paris models. This piactice was soon discontinued and for nearly a century patterns were made by an individual designer. This year, for the first time since the ISSO's. direct copies of French models are being made in paper patterns for the home dressmaker's use. These models are rather com- p'-.cated but there are many good easy-to-make patterns on sale. The home dressmaker can have com- plete confidence in them for the luain consideration of the designers, after correct fashion detail, is to create a garmenl that is as simple a., possible to make. "Experts have given it every attention." said Miss Pegler reassuringly.

Evftfyone thrills to the story of an individual who, though once labelled a "failure," emerges uti- niately a "success." It was so with John Mark. He had a mother who prayed and who opened her house for others to gather and pray, whea Peter lay in prison. Barnabas, a cousin, and Saul, took Mark with them to Antioch from Jerusalem. Then when they were Divinely called to take the Gospel to the Gentiles, they took Johp also to minister. When they had gone through Cyprus and were turning up into Asia Minor, John departed from them and returiied to Jeru- salem. Paul regarded this as failur* and refused to allow Mark to ac- company him on his second mis- sionary journey. Just how serious was this failure; we do not know. Perhaps he should never have gone. The Holy Ghost had said to the Church at Anti- och, "Separate me Barnabas and Srul for the work whereunto I have called them." Mark had no sucU Divine call. He just went natur- â- :^ ally with these men who had brought him from Jerusalem. Per- haps the rigors of the road de- terred him. Perhaps he became' lonesome for Mother and the spa- cious home at Jerusalem. John Mark made good. Even Paul came ^o ' recognize it. From prison in Rome, in his last let- ter he wrot^fi "Take Mark, and bring him with-thee: for he is pro- htable to me for the ministry." II Timothy 4:11. Tradition repre- sents him as the_ close attendaci and interpreter of Peter, and us the writer of Peter's teachings. So we have the Gospel according to Mark. His conversion probably took place at the prayer meeting in his mother's house when Peter came there from prison. Thus it would be natural for Peter to call him "my son." I Peter 5:13. Through the power of Christ, we can all be successful .-•-- Freedom in a democracy is the glory of the state, and, therefore^ only in a democracy will the free man of nature deign to dwell. â€"Plato.
