The above treatment will also
combat stickiness in the gasket;
but if the stickiness gets beyond
this help, hold the gasket in place
with a few strips of adhesive tape.
Don’t try to remove the tape
later, though, unless yoti’re get
ting a new gasket, because the
old gasket probably will come
off with the tape.
When the rubber-covered dish
drainer or skeleton tray along
side your sink gets old and sticky,
apply shellac, varnish or ordinary
paint. Let it dry thoroughly be
fore you do the job (and after)
to eliminate the sticking and pro
long the life of the tray.
When the stove begins to look
<lull, * *but still doesn’t quite need
new polish, you can brighten it up
by rubbing it occasionally with
waxed paper.
To blacken or polish a stove,
here’s a routine that gives it a
good finish and makes it last.
When rust and grease have been
removed, rub the stove thorough
ly with waxed paper. Then add a
tablespoonful of strong leftover
coffee and a few pinches of brown
sugar to a can of your favorite
brand of stove polish. Don’t mix
them up; just take a dab of all
three with your brush each time
and apply the mixture to the
stove that way. The coffee and
sugar on top of the polish will
probably give out before the
polish does, but you can add more
as needed.

The national barrow show was
held at Austin, Minn., Saptember

for 16 states and Canada.
The grand champions of the show
were a Poland-China barrow from

14 orphan boys who live at the
Oklahoma state orphans home at
Pryor, Oklahoma.
In the carcass event of the show,
128 barrows were entered and the
champion carcass came from a
Hampshire barrow owned by the
Bi-Line farms. It had the most yield
of valuable cuts, and when every
product was evaluated separately
on today’s market, it lead all the
128 carcasses in total selling price.

Hobby Room Gives Added
Pleasure to Farm Homes
A farm home can become even
more livable with the addition of a
hobby room. It can be a corner in
the basement where a boy can store
his wood-working tools with just
enough space to put the tools to good
use. Or it can be a finished room
where the children can have their
4-H club meetings or a get-together
of the gang.
Furnishings can be inexpensive by
exercising ingenuity and imagina
tion. Built-in furniture, such as
book shelves, shelves for knick-
knacks, cupboards, a wall seat with
a hinged cover in which toys, games
and odds and ends can be stored,
can be economically made by the
carpenter £>r by the gang of “future
farmers’’ in one of their meetings.
Other ideas for hobby room furni
ture include a drop leaf table fast
ened to the wall, a sandwich bar
where hot coffee and other refresh
ments can be dispensed, a bunk on
which to stretch out and rest during
the day.
Farm living can be pleasantly
improved with the addition of a
hobby room.
Star Farmer
Forest Davis, Jr., 21-year-
old Florida farmer, was named
winner of the nation’s highest
award of achievement by a farm
youth, that of star farmer of
America. Davis was presented
a check for $1,000 from the
Future Farmers of America
foundation at the 23rd annual
F. F. F. convention in Kansas
City.

ance due on the crop have gone out

RURAL HEALTH
Health Councils Bring Better
Medical Care to Rural Areas
One of the brightest indications
of progress in securing more doc
tors and better health facilities for
rural areas in this country is the
recent announcement by the Ameri
can Medical Association that com
munity health councils in the nation
have increased from 82 to nearly
300 in the last two years.

Hollywood has seen some gaudy

row. He will write, direct and
produce an airshow which he
tailored for Gloria Swanson,
whom everybody has been par-
suing with contracts with no

ODDS AND ENDS . . . Wendell
Holmes, radio actor featured in
“The Road of Life” and “Young Dr.
Malone,” leaves for Hollywood
soon for his first movie role . . .
Gloria Holiday, who plays “Gloria,”
the PBX operator on the “Harold
Peary Show,” formerly worked on
the switchboard at CBS, Hollywood
—that was before she became Mrs.
Peary . . . Rumor has it that the
script for Alfred Hitchcock’s
“Strangers on a Train” is scarier
than anything else he has done for
the screen.
These figures are based on a sur
vey of the association’s council on
medical service in which county
medical societies were queried,
Thomas A. Hendricks of Chicago,
secretary of the council, reported.
Local achievements of the com
munity health councils in the last
five years include construction of
hospitals with the aid of the hos
pital survey and construction act
(Hill-Burton act); increasing avail
able hospital beds; developing clin
ics; securing more doctors, den
tists, nurses and other needed per
sonnel; development of fulltime lo
cal public health services; health ex
amination of children of school and
pre-school age and correction of
their remediable health defects;
promotion of voluntary prepayment
medical care and hospitalization;
provision of medical care for the
aged and chronically ill, and meet
ing costs of medical service to fami
lies unable to pay for hospitaliza
tion and doctors* bills, according to
Hendricks.
In some instances community
councils have been extremely help
ful in cooperating with the national
mental health program. Councils
have matched government funds to
pay mental health clinic personnel
and conducted educational cam
paigns to acquaint communities
with the value and manner of op
eration of the clinics.
And although health councils have
been organized in urban as well as
in rural areas, they have been es
pecially important in bringing bet
ter medical care to the people in
rural communities, Hendricks said.
• • •
THE A.M.A/s efforts to promote
organization of community health
councils to improve medical care
for long neglected rural communi
ties date back to the organization
of the association’s committee on
rural health five years ago. Since
that time it has been actively en
gaged in coordinating the efforts of
farm groups and state jmd local
medical societies in rural health.
The committee is set up go that
its representatives can be reached
locally in any area. Doctors select
ed by state medical societies serve
as directors in nine regions and as
state rural health chairmen in 45
states. Any organization wanting in
formation on setting up a local
health council or solving rural health
problems may contact one of these
representatives or write directly to
the A.M.A. rural health committee
in Chicago.
• • •
AS AN EXAMPLE of how the
council plan works, suppose mem
bers of an Ohio farm bureau wrote
the A.M.A. that a community needs
a doctor and does not have the facili
ties to attract him. The community
wants to build and staff a health
clinic with aid from the hospital
survey and construction act What
happens?
The information is referred to
the regional director who takes the
matter up with the state rural
health chairman and the state med
ical society. The state chairman
and the medical society contact the
farm bureau, a meeting is called,
and the state chairman and repre
sentatives of the state and local
medical societies, farm organiza
tions and civic groups get together
at the community level to work out
the problem.
That the rural health problem is
steadily being solved through coop
erative community efforts was gen
erally agreed at a conference on
rural health in Kansas City, Mo.
The conference brought together
more than 500 medical and lay lead
ers concerned with providing medi
cal care to small communities.

J IM Orson had ridden 200 miles
on horseback to commit murder.
Slouched in his saddle, one hand
resting carelessly on his thigh near
the butt of the six shooter, he
watched from beneath the brim of
his hat as the boy came toward
him.
“This Marc Newell’s place?” he
asked.
The boy nodded. “My brother
will be back any
minute. I’m
Davie Newell.
Axe you Mr. Du-
mont, the cattle
buyer?”
Without changing his expression
Jim Orson said: “Yeah, I’m him.”
“We’ve been expectin’ you. Come
on inside and wait It’s cooler.”
”1 noticed,” Orson remarked,
“that you bad a rifle in your hands
when you first opened the door.
Expectin’ trouble?**
The boy’s face clouded. “I was
afraid it might be Jules Snyder.
He’s promised to get Marc.*’
“Why is he out to get your
brother?”
Orson’s hand whipped to his
hip and he shot at the exact
moment lead sported from the
horseman’s six-shooter.
Faintly the sound of hoofbeats
came to them. Davie set down the
pan of potatoes and scurried to a
window, turned back into the room,
white-faced. Without a word he
snatched up the Winchester rifle.
The boy hesitated. “Because
Marc quit his gang. Marc used to
hang around with the Snyder
bunch, but when they began rustlin’
and killin’, he quit ’em.
“Right after Marc quit, a man
named Tom Orson was shot and
Jules let it out that Marc done it.
The story spread an* nobody dared
deny it because they’re afraid of
Snyder.”
Jim Orson thought: “The
boy’s lying. He’s like his
brother—a liar and a killer. It
was Marc Newell who killed
Tom, and it’s Marc Newell I’m
going to settle with for the
crime.**
“You’ll like my brother,” Davie
was saying. “He’s swell. He—”
T HREE men had drawn rein be
fore the gate. Halfway down the
walk Davie was facing them de
fiantly.
“You git out of here, Jules
Snyder!”
The leader of the trio, obviously
Snyder, said placatingly: “Put
down the, gun, kid. We only want
to have a talk with your brother.”
“You want to kill him!” the boy
cried shrilly. “I ain’t gonna let
you. Marc never done nothin* to
you.”
Behind Jules Snyder one of the
riders had drawn his gun. It was
one against three, a boy against
a trio of killers.
Jim Orson stepped through the
kitchen door. His hand was on his
gun.
BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET
Professional Blind Man Plays 6ag to the Very Finish
, By BILLY ROSE
Last night, in a mood for malt and malarkey, I stopped in to
chin with Sammy Fuchs, proprietor of the Bowery Follies and hon
orary mayor of that unwashed neck of the Manhattan woods.
“What’s new and gruesome in your baliwick?” I asked mine host.
“Nothing much,” said Sammy, “except that Faker Kennedy died last
week and left his eyes to a bartender down the block.”
“Come again?” I said.
Accoraing to Sammy, the Faker was a professional blind man who
had been rattling a tin cup on
the Bowery for as long as he could
remember. In spite of his calling,
however, it was a standing joke
around the flophouses that the cane-
tapper could shoot off a bug’s ear
at a hundred paces.
“We used to kid
Kennedy about his
blindness,” said
Sammy, “but h e
never let on it was
an act—if it was an
act And we were
never sure because
no one ever saw the
old coot without his
smoked glasses.
“Down at Gar- Billy Rose
gan’s Bar where the
Faker used to hang out after
hours,” Sammy continued, “the
proprietor had a kind of running
gag at the bum’s expense.
“ ’When you die,’ he used to say,
‘will me your eyes. Mine are get-
tin* pretty tired from lookin' at
the sawdust.’
“ T’ll leave ’em to ya, Gargan.’
was the Faker’s stock answer. ‘And
they’ll come in handy if ya ever
want to play marbles.*
• • •
“That’s about how the talk went
until one night not long ago when
a couple of stick-up-men walked
into Gargan’s and lined the cus
tomers up against the wall—all ex
cept the Faker who didn’t budge
from his usual place at the end of
the bar.
“After the punks had cleaned out
the register and what little was in
the customers* pockets, one of them
walked up to the Faker and jabbed
a gun in his ribs.
‘"Yon wouldn’t toko pennies
from m blind man, would ye?
said Kennedy.
" 'Don't gimme that pennies
stuff,' said the thug. 'You guys
always got a roll on ya.’
“The Faker made out as if he
was fumbling in his pockets, and
then suddenly made a grab for the
gun, yanked it away from the hood
and bopped him over the head with
it. Then, using the body as a sort
of shield, he pointed the gun at the
other punk.
** ‘Drop yer pistol,' he said, ‘or
I'U shoot the cigar outta yer mouth.’
“Well, it so happened the thug did
have a cigar in his mouth, and when
he beard the blind man’s on-the-
button reference to it he got pan
icky and dropped his gun. A dozen
guys jumped him, and a few min
utes later he and his pal were in
the precinct house.
• • •
“After that, of course, everybody
on the Bowery was sure the Faker
was a fake, but he never owned up.
‘They got me all wrong, ’ he once
told me. The stick-up guy was
smokin’ an Italian stogie and ya
can smell them things a block away.
And I guessed it was in his mouth
by the way he talked.’
"A couple of weeks ago"
Sammy went on, "Faker Ken
nedy. got pneumonia, and the
day after bis body was carted
off to Potter's Field a package
showed up in Gorgon's mail
with a pair of glass eyes."
“Sounds like the old man was
telling the truth after all,'* I said.
“Nobody is convinced, one way or
the other,” said the Mayor of the
Bowery. “Maybe the eyes came out
of the Faker’s head, and then again
maybe he picked them up in a hock-
shop. You know, you never can
tell about these cuckoos—he might
have wanted to play the gag out to
the end.*'
w LL RIGHT,” he said. “This
makes it more even. I’m
backing the kid’s play.”
Snyder’s eyes bulged. “Who
the devil are you?”
‘T’lyi Orson, ^ i m Orson.
Brother of the man yon killed,
Snyder!**
Snyder’s reaction was a dead
giveaway.
The man who had drawn his gun
suddenly levelled it. Orson’s hand
whipped to his hip. He got his own
weapon clear and shot as lead
spurted from the horseman’s six-
shooter.
Snyder swore savagely and went
for his own gun. Orson shot again.
Two of the horsemen were down,
the third streaking up the road.
Orson, smoking gun in hand, bent
over the two still figures. The boy
watched him, wide-eyed, awed.
“Son, I’ll ride into town and get
the sheriff. You stay here. When
your brother comes back, explain
what’s happened.”
The boy nodded, choking. “Y—
you’re not Mr. Dumont? You’re
Jim Orson?”
“That’s right,” Orson smiled and
patted the boy’s head. “Come 200
miles on horseback to get a lesson
in courage.”
“You’re going back now?”
“That’s right. I’m going back.
You see, son, I accomplished what
I come for.**

Mystic Finds
Water in Dry
Areas of India
NEW DELHI, India—A 50-year-olc
yogi, Jeevram Vyas, is solvinj
India’s water problems. The min
istry of agriculture says the mystic
locates underground water sources
with uncanny accuracy merely by
closing his eyes and pointing.
Now famous throughout India un
der the cognomen of Pani Maharaj,
which in Hindustani means “watei
king,” Vyas has been made a mem
ber of the Rajasthan underground
water board at a salary of 500
rupees ($105) a month. Recently,
when the tired yogi proposed to re
tire to his former life of contem
plation in the forest, the food and
agriculture minister, K. M. Munshi,
persuaded Pani Maharaj to stay on
the job.
Called National Asset
Prime Minister Jawaharial Nehru,
an extremely well-schooled and fair
ly skeptical man, had Pani Maharaj
brought to Delhi for a particular
divining job, which the yogi per
formed with spectacular success.
This was at Faridabad, a refugee
town near the capital, where it ap
peared that water would have to be
piped miles from the Jumna river at
a cost of millions of rupees.
Pani Maharaj went to Faridabad,
look ed around, and showed where to
dig. Today, says the ministry, eight
tube wells on and about this spot
are pouring out approximately 35,000
gallons of water an hour, making
the costly pipeline unnecessary.
Geologists are amazed^
The yogi works entirely without
instruments, a ministry spokesman
reported.
“Sometimes he moves his hand
across the map of a region, and pin
points the source of water,” the
spokesman said. “More often, sit
ting in a room or traveling in a car,
he ‘sees a cloud of haziness’ in the
depths of the earth below, and with
mathematical precision he indicates
not only the quantity of water to be
found but also whether it is sweet
or saline.”
Numerous Wells Found
Numerous discoveries of under
ground water by Pani Maharaj are
fully confirmed by the government.
One well dug at Samadri, in Rajas
than, on the yogi’s advice, was said
to be yielding 120,000 gallons an
hour. The food and agriculture Min
istry said he had located several
sites for tube wells where the water-
poor city of Jaipur could augment
its supply. “In every case,” the
ministry’s spokesman said, “water
has been found.”
Pani Maharaj first came into
prominence when he began finding
water in the dry, hungry-stricken
state of Saurashtra, in far north
western India. He moved to Jaipur
and went about the great Rajputana
desert, spotting new wells ms he
went, it wasn’t long before the gov
ernment, ignoring scientific, scoffers,
took notice of him as a national as
set.
Where the yogi came from is un
known, except that he spent many
years practicing the arts of yoga in
the forests of Girnar. Claims made
by his admirers, who are legion
now, that he can divine not only
water but also oil and precious
minerals deep in subterranean rock,
are not confirmed officially.
Vision Institute Reports
TV Doesn’t Hurt Eyes '
COLUMBUS, O.—Doctors at the
Institute for Research in Vision at
Ohio university report you can stop
worrying about television’s effect
on your eyes.
Dr. Glenn A. Fray and Dr. Arthur
M. Culler, co-directors of the insti
tute, report their findings after a
survey of 2,125 doctors in eight
states served by 37 television sta
tions.
“There is no widespread belief
that television is contributing to
changes in the static refraction of
the eye, the status of muscle bal
ance or to the development of such
disorders as glaucoma and cataract,
or to any serious impairment of the
function and structure of the eye,”
they reported.
Some doctors said that a few pa
tients complained of eye strain from
television. That total averaged about
3.41 per cent.
But most of the troubled television
viewers complained soon after they
got their set and their difficulties
tended to disappear with continued
use.
Amish Goss to Jail Rather
Than Keep Youths In School
LANCASTER, Pa. — Refusing to

six bearded Amish farmers were

The six were sentenced to serve
three days in lieu of a $2 fine each.
They were accused of violating the
Pennsylvania compulsory-schod-at-

The Amishmen allegedly refused
to permit their children to attend
school after they reached the aga of

youth of that age should no longer
