' Try This With Your New Ruffled Curtains By RUTH WYETH SPEARS ««r\EAR Mrs. Spears:—I want ^ to thank you for the clear diagram of how to hang draw cur tains in your Book 1—SEWING for the Home Decorator. This was Just what I have been needing as we have casement windows and no shades in our living room. With a pull of the cord my new curtains shut out the light or the outside view. I wonder if you would help me with another problem? I do not want to make the curtains for the rest of the house. Thought I THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S.

Do you think they would be too com monplace? J. T.” Answer: Here is a suggestion for hanging ruffled curtains that will make your windows a little different from those of your neigh bors and lend no end of style to your rooms. Double curtain rods are needed to give the crossed ef fect and a valance board is added to the top of the window as shown. Here the valance is the sort that comes with ready made curtains and the top is folded back to make it double. In thumbtacking it to the valance board, do not stretch it—just “ease it on” so that it hangs well. If you feel that the windows need color, the valance and tie backs may be of plain glazed chintz that repeats the strongest color in your room color scheme. A contrasting valance may be either plain or gathered. Let Father and Young Son and Little Sister help you make the home a center of interest.

Y., who crashes into the Adventurers Club today and wins himself the rating of Distinguished Adventurer. A ten smacker check is on the way to him right now, and Bob dragged it down with the story of a fight with a wild animal—on the streets of Brooklyn. Now it’s been years since big game hunters roamed around Brooklyn looking for animals to shoot. Hunting parties have been giving it the go-by since the days when Peter Minuit was mayor of New York and the town belonged to the Dutch. It took Bob Shreves, then eight years old, to get into trouble with one, in November, 1927, and just a few blocks away from the Long Island railroad station and the Williamsburg bank. It was just twelve o’clock noon, when eight~y ear ~old Bob filed out of Public School No. 15 with a bunch of other school kids and started up State street toward his home, which was then at 146 South Elliott place. Bob was going home for lunch, but he wasn’t in such a hurry to get it that he couldn’t spare a moment to investigate a crowd of people across ♦he street. The Bear Looked Harmless. The crowd was standing at the back door of a large theater. Young Bob went over and joined it. On the sidewalk by the stage entrance was a huge brown bear. Bob learned later that the bear was a trained one—part of an act that was playing in the theater. Two of the train er’s helpers had him out there getting a little air. “The bear was lying down,” says Bob. “He was pretty old, and looked like a harmless creature. Hie helpers were holding him only by a small piece of worn clothes line tied around the collar on his neck.” That bear may have looked harmless—but Bob soon found out that he wasn’t. A lot of other people shared Bob’s opinion that the bear wouldn’t hurt anyone. Nearly the whole student body of Public School No. 15 had trooped down to the theater stage door, attracted by the gathering Reindeer Moss in Arctic Lands Reindeer moss is a species of lich en found in great abundance in Arc tic lands. Erect, with many branches, it grows to a few inches ii: neight and covers immense acres where it is used as a food for reindeer and other animals. The Oldest Door Knocker The oldest door knocker in exist ence is said to be the sanctuary knocker on the north door of the nave of Durham cathedral, Eng land (1133-1140). The design sug gests Scandinavian origin. Fixing Up Arguments “A man can always fix up argu ments to quiet his conscience,” said Hi Ho, the sage of Chinatown, “but it is useless. No matter how much you turn the clock back sunset will come just the same.” One great paw lashed ont in a vicious swing. crowd. Such a mob of kids you never saw in your life. They pushed and jostled one another as they crowded closer. They yelled U> one another and directed loud, shrill questions at the men who were holding the big brute. The bear began to get nervous—and then frightened. And the helpers began to get uneasy, too. They coaxed the bear to get up, and then began to lead him back into the theater again. Broke Away and Charged the Crowd. Then that mob of kids began milling and pushing in their effort to follow the bear in. Bob Shreves was way up in the front row, being pushed along by those behind him, when suddenly the bear fell into a panic. He broke away from the two helpers with one toss of his great shaggy head. Then, swiftly, he turned around and charged the crowd 1 He was coming right toward the spot where young Bob was standing—and with a mob of three or four hundred kids poshing from behind, there was no way for Bob to escape. A big boy in front of him screamed and turned to flee. And in his frantic ef fort to get away he ran sqnarely into Bob and bowled him over. Bob fell flat on the ground. For a moment he was confused. All around him now he heard the screams of other kids.' Then he looked up—to see the bear charging straight at him—almost on top of him! Bob’s heart leaped to his mouth—and in another split second the bear was on him. One great paw lashed out in a vicious swing at Bob’s head. Instinctively, Bob ducked. “If I hadn’t,” Bob says, “he would have ripped my face wide open. As it was, he took away a piece of my scalp as big as a man’s hand. He was standing over me now, snarling and growling, and suddenly I found myself in 1 is big, powerful arms. “I was still conscious. I don’t know why that slap on the head didn’t knock me out. But it didn’t, and at that moment I didn’t even feel any pain up there. But I could feel the brute crushing the breath out of me with his paws. I could feel my ribs cracking under the pressure. And I could see him tearing at my shoulder with his teeth.” It was cold weather and Bob had on a heavy overcoat. That coat was all that saved his shoulder from being ripped wide open, too. But the overcoat was no protection against the squeeze of those powerful arms. Was Slowly Crushing the Life Out of Him. “I thought my chest was going to cave in,” he says, “and my lungs felt as if they would burst. I tried to cry out, but that was impossible. I couldn’t even draw a breath.” Meanwhile, one of the helpers had grabbed up the bear’s rope again while the other ran in to get the trainer. Little Bob wasn’t even con scious of that. He wasn’t conscious of anything but the big, hairy animal that kept squeezing—squeezing—slowly crushing the life out of him. The last thing he remembered were shouts in his ears and strong hands taking hold of him, dragging him from the bear’s embrace. The next thing he knew he was in Cumberland hospital, with a badly lacerated head and right shoulder, and a broken rib—and the doctors told him that if he hadn’t had on a thick overcoat he’d have been maimed for life, if not killed outright. But three months later Bob was out of the hospital, and all right except for a lasting scar on his head. The bear weighed 880 pounds and stood seven feet tall when erect. He was the biggest critter Bob ever took on for a fight before—or since. And he’s still wondering if Schmeling, or Joe Louis, or even Dempsey in his prime, could have done any better with that animal than he did. Copyright.—WNU Service.
