THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. Ownership of Foulklonds Disputed by Three Nations Possession ol the Faulkland is lands has been in dispute by Britain Chile and Argentina. This dismal archipelago was unheard of for a hundred years after Columbus dis covered America. John Davis anc Sir Richard Hawkins touched there but no British landings were madf until 1690. Thereafter sovereigntj fluctuated between Britain, France and Spain. Argentina did not de velop an interest in the islands untii 1829, when she landed a few soldiers and colonists, maintaining them there until Britain expelled them in 1833. Hie islands are bleak fragments of rock scattered off the eastern tip of South America. In theory they protected the Cape Horn passage and guarded the southern entrance to the Atlantic. However, in World War I they proved their overwhelm ing strategic importance. In the Battle of Corouel, off Chile, Admiral von Spee had destroyed a British squadron under Admiral Craddock, dispatcher to drive him from the Pacific. This seemed tc open a way into the Atlantic and von Spee apparently determined to seize the Faulklands Unfortunately for him, he arrived a day too late, just as two great British battle cruisers, the Inflexible and Invinci ble. sent by the admiralty to inter cept him, had finished coaling. The ensuing battle was one-sided. Out matched in speed and range, von Spee fought until his flagship went down with all hands under Admiral Sturdee’s guns. Of the entire Ger man squadron only the Dresden es caped. This action gave the British full command of the outer seas four months after the war started. CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT BUSINESS & INVEST.

Merry finished her splashing in the chilly waters and climbed on a rock by the lakeside, the only rock in view anywhere on the sandy beach. It made a nice spot to sit and dry as the morning sun grew warmer. Spreading her beach robe over the rock to protect her new green bath ing suit she rubbed her arms and legs briskly with a towel, then cast it aside and rummaged in the can vas beach bag for her brush and comb, and a hand mirror. She had just finished shaking the water from her long, blonde hair and was brushing it to a golden sheen when a masculine voice beside her told her she was no longer alone. “Ah, a mermaid!” said the voice, and there stood a bronzed young man in bathing trunks. He was tall and dark and broad-shouldered, and just the sort of young man a girl dreamed of meeting on her vacation, only he had appeared much too soon. She blushed and groped for an an swer. She shivered and sneezed. “Well,” commented the young man. “I don’t know mermaid lang uage but kerchoo, yourself.” Without waiting • to be asked, he had seated himself on the sand be side the rock and not knowing what else to do Merry went on awkwardly brushing her hair. “What's your name?” he asked. “Mine’s Terry Thornton. Staying with some cousins at that cottage down the line.” “Merry,” she admitted unhappily. “Not Mary; Merry, like in Merry Christmas. Only my last name’s Day. My mother had original ideas.” “Hmm.” Terry mused. “Well, on you it turned out all right, though she took a chance. Supposing you were one of those grave, sober people who go around frowning all the time? But with those dimples and that smile it suits you.” Merry blushed again. It was dis concerting to have a strange young man studying her face so closely, but it was funny, too. She laughed. "Merry,” he repeated. “I like that. Merry and Terry. Makes a good combination. Hey! Where you go ing? Don’t jump back in the water, mermaid. I’ll only swim right after you!” “Breakfast,” said Merry, gather ing up her belongings. “We haven’t eaten yet. They’re expecting me at the cottage.” “Well,” said Terry reluctantly. “ ’Bye, then, for now. See you again.” He walked over to the deep end of the pier, waved, dived clean ly and, as Merry left the beach, she saw him swimming with long, sure strokes out to the raft. If only, she thought, he hadn’t come along quite so soon! Now she would have to go to the beach even earlier. “Terry Thornton?” said Mrs. White, with whom Merry was board ing during her vacation. “Why, yes. He comes up here summers to visit relatives in one of those cottages down the row. One of the best swim mers around here. Regular fish.” Merry’s heart sank but she ate heartily of the blueberry muffins and decided nothing was going to spoil this vacation of hers. Sbc had planned too long and worked too hard for it, and now she was going to enjoy every minute. It was not much fun, going in the water so terribly early, but she splashed determinedly the next morning, then spread her beach robe on the sand and lay there on her stomach, soaking up what sunshine there was. Head cradled on elbow, she gazed dreamily at the lake. It was always changing color, like the stone in a ring she used to have— green, blue, silver or gray, accord ing to the light. The office, with its irritations, seemed far away. “Hello, there!” It was Terry. She sensed his presence before he spoke. "Care for a swim?” She shook her head. “I’ve already been in,” she said. “Well,” he persisted, “You can go in again.” "No,” said Merry. “I like it here on the beach.” “Okay,” Terry shrugged. “Suit yourself, I’m going to take a swim, then I’ve got to go to the village. Be gone all day. You ought to come along.” “No,” said Merry. “Thanks any way.” She was sorry to see him go, yet happy, too. He would be gone all day! As soon as he was completely out of sight she waded back into the water. Olga, Mrs. White’s cook, came wading out but Merry didn’t mind. Olga was plump and comfort able and she was eating an apple. other, she managed to avoid Terrj and keep on with her attempts tc swim. “X don’t know why I don’! tell him,” she thought “He prob ably would teach me himself but he might think I am awfully stupid, the way I don’t make any progress. Somehow, I am ashamed to let him know.” She went on practicing strokes and kicks, swallowing water and flonndering in despair—and then, one day, one day of days, it hap pened! She swam! Only a few feet at first, then farther and farther and farther with practice. Bobby, her 10-year-old teacher, jumped up and down and shrieked with joy, and they had a water- fight to celebrate. After that, noth ing could stop her. It was just an easy sidestroke but it was swim ming! > “Tell you what,” said Bobby. “I’ll take the rowboat and row along side in case you need me, and X She had just finished shaking the water from her long, blonde hair and was brushing it to a golden sheen when a masculine voice beside her told her she was no longer alone. “Can you swim, Olga?” called Merry. “No," answered Olga, “but I can float.” She lay back, easily, on the surface of the water and continued eating her apple, gazing unconcern edly up at the sky. “That’s wonderful!” said Merry. She tried it but sank immediately, and sat up, gasping and blowing water out of her nose. A peal of. laughter rang out and she looked into the face of a 10-year-old boy who was swimming about like a porpoise. “Here’s the way,” he said, and floated like Olga. “Gee!” he said. “Don’t you know how to swim?" “No,” Merry admitted, sadly. “I’ve never been around water, much. I’ve always lived in the city, and I just never did learn.” “It’s easy,” said the boy. “Watch here.” So the lessons began. Hopeful and hopeless by turn. Merry kicked and splashed. Her freckle-faced tutor was a hard taskmaster and a merciless critic. They kept at it most of the day but Merry * still couldn’t stay on top of the water. “Looks like I’ll never learn!” she thought, but early the next morn ing she was at it again. She man aged to be lying on the beach when Terry dropped by. She turned down his invitation to go on an all-day boating trip with some friends. “An other day,” she thought hopefully. Her young instructor turned up again that afternoon, as enthusiastic as Merry was determined. Day after day, by some ruse cr ^kis c$rave Qlew ^World Grace Noll Crowell D EWY-EYED and shining- faced the morning Is starting on its journey of today. Its old wounds healed and seemingly forgotten.

The water felt wonderful—she fcelt wonderful herself! Hardly out of breath at all, she reached the raft. “Hurray!” shouted Bobby. “You made it!” “Hurray!”-echoed another voice, "Three cheers for the merry mer maid!” ' And there on the raft, outlined against the sun, was Terry. Eagerly, he pulled her out of the water. “I crown you queen of the mer maids,” he said, adorning her head with a dripping white waterlily he had brought from the lagoon. “So you learned to swim in less than two weeks!" Merry caught her breath. “How did you know?” she asked. “Well,” said Terry, smiling deep ly into her eyes. “That kid brother of mine is a pretty good teacher.” LET’S TALK ABOUT you. — BY CHARLES B. ROTH A Good Conversationalist That the man I have just spent a week with has mastered one of the most important of all human arts, there is no doubt. Wherever we went he charmed those we met, charmed them by his personality, hiy graciousness, his poise, but prin cipally by his conversation. For he seemed to know exactly what to say to everyone to whom we talked. I mentioned.it to him. “Oh, it’s simple,” he replied, “all I do is talk to them in terms cf interests—their interests—their SPE CIAL INTERESTS.” Every human being, as you know, has certain subjects in which he is especially interested—his business, his hobby, his family, some outside accomplishment, politics, something that especially interests. Anything that appeals to a per son’s special interests, identifies you with him, will get and hold his attention—and if you get and hold anyone’s attention he will find you an engaging personality. If you want your personality to ap peal to others, all you have to do is follow the few simple rules which my friend explained to me. “The first thing you have to do is to find out what your person’s in terests are," he began. “And that is not hard. Listen to anyone talk. We all talk most about what inter ests us most. You can also ask others about the interests of the person you are going to meet. It isn’t hard to get information.” “Then,” he continued, “acquire knowledge on the subject.” None! of us likes to talk to an ignoramus, j but you can read up on any subject and get a passable knowledge of it.; “Then—and this is the last rule—i all you have to do is show him you are interested in the subject, too.' Then in his eyes you become irre sistibly interesting. See how easy it is?” Serve Versatile Fish for Variety (See Recipes Below) Fish Favorites When you serve fish, does the family wrinkle its nose, so to speak, or are they as delighted as if you were putting the choicest steak in front of them? If the idea seems a bit far-fetched to you, then you really should know that thou sands of people regularly choose fish foods in preference to meats on menus every day, in all parts of the country. No, it isn’t just a silly fad, either, because places serving fish dinners have prospered all over the world for longer than most of us can remember. So, if you don’t serve a fish dinner that the fam ily really enjoys, look to your methods and see if your cook»pg of this delicate food couldn’t use a little brushing up in technique. The two enemies of perfection in fish cookery are high heat and overcooking. Overdone fish loses texture and flavor and is unpala table. Fish is a delicate food and does not need extensive cooking. It may, however, be prepared in many ways—by broiling, frying, steaming or baking. Lemon and fish are insepara bles. Sprinkle the fish with lemon as soon as it is brought home, and serve with lemon after cooking. It really accents the delicate fla vors and gives fish a piquancy that wb all like. For those fish odors, here’s a tip. When cooking fish, simmer V2 cup of vinegar in a saucepan on the stove, or place the mixture in the oven when baking or broil ing. To give fishy odors the brushoff on dishes and utensils, use vinegar or soda in the dish water and make sure you have plenty of soapy suds.

Do you attempt dishes be yond your cooking ability or use only those recipes you know you can manage? Do you have to rush around the last minute or are you well organized so you can present an unruffled appearance to the guests? Do you always invite more people than you can easily care for, or do you limit your guests and try to see that everyone gets a little individual atten tion from you, the hostess? Do you let your personality show through the food, deco rations, etc., or do you just toss things together, giving a hap hazard effect?
