Teach your puppy to stand still
and have his feet wiped before he
comes in the house. This takes
time and patience, but eventually
pays dividends by minimizing mud
dy tracks on a clean kitchen floor:
children can sometimes be taught j
to wipe their own feet, too.
Com meal will soak up oil or
grease on basement or garage
floors if spread over grease and
allowed to stand for a day or two.
Then sweep up com meal: repeat.
If necessary.

Do not remove the paperlike cov
ering known as the “fell” from a
leg of lamb before roasting. This
covering keeps the meat juicier,
helps to hold its shape, and permits
the meat to roast in less time.
When sewing by hand, thread
several needles before starting to
sew and you will save time and
patience by not having to stop and
thread a needle every few minutes.

™I FICTION CORNER
MESSAGE FOR THELMA
By ROBERT ARTHUR
T OM’s note said that he would
come at 11 for his things. By
10:30 Anne had packed all of his
personal belongings into the three
pigskin bags and the wardrobe
trunk, which she dragged empty
into the foyer of the apartment and
filled there. Tom was never punc
tual. He might come half an hour
early or half an hour late, and she
wanted to have everything ready
in time so that she could be out
when he came.
She did not linger over the pack
ing or allow herself to feel anything,
even when she put the set of cuff
links and studs which had been her
wedding gift to him and the silver-
mounted military brushes she had
given him on their first—and only
—anniversary into the last bag.
I wonder If anyone else In New
York uses military brushes, she
caught herself thinking. I never
knew any other man who did. A
brief mental picture came to her of
Tom before the mirror, making a
determined effort with the brushes
to force his sandy hair to stay in
place. Then as quickly as it had
come she banished it.
Surgical operations should be
neat and clean. Even if it was
something you were cutting out of
your heart you musn’t linger over
it.
Only when the three bags were
standing beside the trunk, in their
scuffed sturdiness, strangely re
minding her of Tom, did she have
time to feel the emptiness within
her. As if, in emptying the closet
and bureau of his things, she had
taken something from inside herself
and packed it too.
To escape the curious numbness
which gripped her, she turned swift
ly and went for her hat and coat.
In getting them from the closet be
side the front door she saw the
large pad which hung there where
Thelma, the maid, could not help
seeing it both on arriving and leav
ing. Thelma was a good worker,
but forgetful “Thelma—Please de
frost refrigerator,” said last Thurs
day’s note, reminding her that this
was Saturday, and Thelma would do
no marketing for the weekend un
less told. But Thelma might be
gone before Anne returned, and —
Anne hesitated. Then, do every
thing just as always, she told her
self. If you let go now, it’ll just
hurt worse and longer.
She slipped into her coat, forced
herself to put on her hat with care.
Then she took up the pencil that
was tied to the pad by a red string
and tried to think what she would
need. Tomatoes, lettuce, oranges,
bread, milk, coffee, she thought.
Soup maybe. I don't know. I don’t
care what I eat.
Her fingers were curiously stiff
as she wrote carefully, in neat capi
tals: NEEDED. She underscored
the word, drew a line after it, then
had just begun to write down the
items she wanted Thelma to buy
when she heard the elevator begin
its humming rise.
Swift panic assailed her. It was
early, but it might be Tom. He
mustn’t find her here. To see him
again, not knowing even now what
It was that had gone wrong, would
be more than she could face. Her
carefully maintained self-possession
probably would go in a flood of
tears and with it the last remnant
of her pride, all that she had left,
would be stripped from her. She
dropped the pencil, leaving the note
for Thelma barely begun, ran out
the door and down the fire stairs
before the elevator could reach her
floor.
It didn't stop, after all. But the
fear of being caught there by Tom’s
arrival stayed with her until she
was outside and hurrying across to
Washington Square. Only when she
reached the small park did she slow
her pace.
She found a bench in the cool
sunshine and sat down. Then,
watching the placid pigeons, the
screeching children on skates, the
mothers pushing carriages and the
old men playing checkers, she tried
to keep her thoughts turned from
what was happening. But it wasn’t
possible.
Why? The question persisted in
asking itself. What went wrong?
Why didn’t It work ont?
She'd known it wouldn’t be easy.
A sports writer, Tom often bad to
be away for several days, some
times even for weeks. And. the time
when he was gone was just a series
of empty days and nights In which
she mfssed him so much the sense
of his absence was almost a physi
cal ache.
But she’d known how it would be,
and knowing, had accepted the job
of making their marriage work.
She had never fretted or wept when
Tom had to be away. She’d kissed
him goodby lightly and welcomed
him back in the same spirit. She
hadn’t clung to him when be left
or fussed over him when he re
turned. Men bated that.
She had never let him guess the
horrible loneliness that stayed with
her when he was away on an as
signment, lest it make him feel
guilty for leaving her alone so
much. And she’d kept her job,
writing store copy, not because she
liked or needed it but because it
helped fill the days of waiting when
he was away.
But she hadn’t let the job come
between her and the home she was
trying to make for him. With the
help of Thelma and much fore
thought, she had kept It running
so smoothly the mechanics of
housekeeping never had obtruded
upon the time they did have togeth
er. And yet —
She still could not analyze It. Why
Tom gradually had become dissatis
fied and restless. Had taken to
making excuses for staying away
even when he was not on an as
signment.
Then had come the blonde girl
Marion something, fresh out of col
lege and trying to be a reporter.
And Tom, spending more and more
of his time with her until Anne,
with her own need for him so strong
had, in her disappointment and in
ability to guess what was wrong be
tween them, provoked that scene
which could not be made up.
So now he was taking away his
things ...
Anne looked at her wrist watch.
In the turmoil of her thoughts, more
than an hour had passed. She rose
and thankfully started back toward
the apartment. Tom certainly
would have come and gone by now.
Anyway it was over. She could
start rebuilding her life somehow.
At least, she was thinking as she
put her key Into the door, she had
kept her emotions in rontroL
Then she opened the door. And
all thought fled. He had not left.
His trunk and bags were still there,
and he was standing beside them.
“Anne,” Tom said, as woodenly
she closed the door behind her,
holding to the knob for support
“Anne!”
He took a step toward her. His
voice was rough with urgency. She
tried to turn, tried to open the door
to flee, but his hands caught her.
“Anne, we’ve been fools. Or at
least I have. I need you. I know
It I never stopped knowing It
It was just that—you didn’t seem
to need me.”
“Didn’t need you, Tom?” In sur
prise she ceased her blind efforts
to release herself, to look up at
him in astonishment. “But I do.
I’ve always needed you. The times
when you were away—”
And then, without warning, the
tears came. It was the first time
she ever had let him see her cry.
Men hated weepy women, but when
the tears were over, something cold
and dead inside her had been
washed away.
She dried her eyes on Tom’*
handkerchief and held her lips up
for his kiss. And she knew then,
somehow, what he meant. She had
made their marriage a thing light
and gay—and it had been too light,
too gay. With her casual goodbys
and her bright welcomes she had
hid her emotions too well. That
men hate emotion had been her
guiding principle.
But a good marriage has
depths. A woman must feel
needed; but ro must a man, too.
In avoiding one extreme she had
gone to another.
Tom tried, in awkward sentences,
to explain. Tried to tell her about
the blonde Marion, whose need for
his help and advice had almost
made him think that he—But he
didn't have to explain. She under
stood all he said, and more. Only
when he finished was she bewil
dered.
“If you hadn’t let me know,
though,” Tom said then, his square,
nicely ugly features twisted in a
grin that was tight with the know
ledge of how close their escape had
been, “if you hadn’t put it where
I couldn’t miss it—”
But she was able to still the ques
tion on her lips before it was
spoken. For she saw the direction
of his look, and followed it to see
the message for Thelma which she
had begun, directing her to buy
tomatoes and other items, but had
not stayed to finish. And what the
abruptly broken-off message said
now. Instead was: "NEEDED —
TOM."

OLD STUFF
We know what you did with last
year’s coat—you cut it off into a
shortie. We know what you did
with last year’s sack dress—you
converted it into a new long length
skirt with elastic around the top.
But we don’t know what you did
with last year’s jabberwocky. How’s
about cutting it up for this year’s
small talk? You can start on these:
KILROY WAS HERE — But he
hasn't been around lately.
OPEN THE DOOR, RICHARD —
You don’t care whether he does or
not.
THAT’S A JOKE, SON—It’s not
any more.
HUBBA, HUBBA,—If all the Hub-
bas used today were laid end to end,
they wouldn’t make even one whistle
at the Comer Casbah.
Swift panic assailed her as she heard the elevator begin its hum
ming rise. He mustn’t find her here. She left the message unfinished
and hurriedly fled.

Soybeans Planted with Corn
Soybeans need plenty of nitro
gen to grow. If they are planted
with com they will either get nitro
gen from the soil or from the air.
If they are inoculated before plant
ed they will get nitrogen from the
air and leave the nitrogen fertil
izer that has been applied for the
com. But if the soybeans are not
inoculated, they will compete
against the com for the nitrogen
fertilizer which has been applied,
which means that the corn will get
very little of it.

Old “Pioneer” Dusted off
For Chicago Rail Pageant
Chicago’s first locomotive, which
hasn’t operated under its own pow
er for nearly 70 years, will have a
starring role in the “Wheels a
Rolling” pageant at the Chicago
railroad fair this summer.
The 112-year old “Pioneer” loco
motive will bum wood and carry
its own water for steam in a bar
rel in its tender, just as it did in
1848 when it made its initial trial
run out of Chicago for the Galena
and Chicago Union railroad, fore-
bearer of the Chicago and North
western railway system.
The locomotive that began Chi
cago's era of railroading has been
famous since 1890. It appeared in
three large fairs—the Chicago Co
lumbian exposition of 1893, the St.
Louis exposition of 1904, and the
World’s Fair (Century of Progress)
in Chicago in 1933-34.

existence today, the “Pioneer”
was third-hand when it was brought
to Chicago on the brig “Buffalo”
from the East. The initial run of
the 10-tca locomotive was 10 miles
—five miles out into the prairie
and back. That was on October 25,
1848.
The “Pioneer” has one pair of
driving wheels 54 inches in dia
meter, and two pair of lead wheels.
Its top speed was 25 miles an hour.

Ecuador's Blue Gum
Visitors to Quito in Ecuador’s
unforested Sierra, or central moun
tainous region, are impressed with
the prominence of a single trea
species—the Tasmanian blue euca
lyptus or blue gum. Introduced in
1865 from Tasmania, Australia, this
tree has become thoroughly adapt
ed in plantations on the densely
populated Andean highlands or pla
teaus, where the native vegetation,
including the original forests, was
removed long ago.
Color in the Home
Color should go around the room,
up from the floor and out from the
wall. That means. If you have a
blue davenport, pick up the blue in
a picture or lamp across the room.
If there’s rose color in the drap
eries, make sure that the same
shade Is repeated in a pillow or ot
toman. If the rug features green,
that green should be used again in
a chair or vase or some other sub-
Origin of Father’s’ Day
It was a mother who started
“Father’s day.’” She is Mrs. John
Bruce Dodd, of Spokane, Wash., a
writer pf Indian stories. Struck
with the need for a day to honor
father, and inspired by the love
and sacrifices of her own dad, Wil
liam Smart, a Civil war veteran,
who raised his motherless family
of six, Mrs. Dodd proposed the
idea 38 years ago, in 1910.
Interesting Data Gleaned
By Yale Dames Questions
Typical Yale student’s wife Is 25
years old, has one^ child between
one and two years old and comes
from Connecticut or New York
state. Her husband is 27 and e
graduate student in engineering or
law. This average couple has been
at Yale between two and three
years and expects to be here for
another year.
This information Is based on a
survey of more than 200 Yale
couples which was just completed
by the “Yale Dames Yearbook",
published by the Yale Dames, an
organization of students’ wives.
A total of 223 out of the 315 wo
men in the Yale Dames responded
to the questionnaire. It is estlmat-'
et* that there are approximately
1,000 wives of Yale students living
in New Haven and its vicinity.
Most married students are veter
ans.
Yale wives range in age from 19
to 45 years and their husbands,
from 20 to 48 years. Thirty-three
wives are older than their hus
bands and 49 are the same age.
Two wives refused to tell their
ages.
According to the questionnaire,
most students’ wives are home
makers and mothers. Of the cou
ples questioned, 106 have a total of
138 children.
Seventy-eight couples have one
child, 26 have two children and
two couples have three. There is a
total of 71 boys and 65 girls, the
latter including one set of twins.
Twenty-six couples have children
less than one year old; 46 have
children between one and two; 26
have children between two and
three; 18 have children between
three and four; 15 have children
between four and 10, and five have
children between 10 and 1ft
Sapid Growth of Softball
Of all games in the United States,
that of softball has had the most
rapid and remarkable growth. It
made its debut some 50 years ago.
At the time baseball players who
wanted to continue action during
the winter months devised what
was called Indoor baseball, which
was to provide play in enclosures.
Since even the largest was small,
in comparison with a regular base
ball field. It was necessary to cre
ate a large and a soft ball, which
could not be hit the great distances
possible with a regular baseball.
The first softball tournament was
held In Chicago In 1933.
