? - ' Tunnel Train Cab Up Front To Protect Its Crew, Cargo Trains of the Southern Pacific passing through its 35 miles of tun nels and snowsheds in the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountains are hauled by a unique type of locomotive whose cab is in the for ward end instead of the rear, says Collier's. Thus the vision of the crew is not endangered by the smoke and steam. In these tunnels, the steam es caping at nearly 800 degrees F. is so hazardous that, in trains carry ing livestock, ten cars separate the locomotive from the first car of animals to protect them from over heating.

UrMNmtat 15<-S1.00 r ?Hii 'ff If ifrtT ,1 - . . Artificial Snowflakei The General Electric Corp. Gentlemen: Must you make me feel depressed, sour and apprehensive? Is it fair for you to go out of your wajf to spread gloom and disillusionment? Can't you do something about that man Vincent J. Shaefer, one of your head scientists? * Nothing has saddened us so mneh in years as a headline the other morning?"General Electric Makes Heal Snowflakes." And the snbhead ?"V. J. Shaefer finds way to pro duce genuine crystals." We are cry ing still. ? If there was one thing that we thought this world would be able to retain in the time-honored form, with no substitutes or imitations, it was the snowflake. I was always a warm friend of snowflakes. I might say I loved them from boyhood up.They were beautiful beyond words; some thing too lovely to be dreamed of as the work of man. I thought of God when I looked out on a moonlight night and saw the snowflakes drift ing down like so many jewels. And so did most people. . -? Oh, sometimes I thought, too, of Heaven, the skies, the glamorous mysteries of nature; yes, and my thoughts wandered to sleigh bells, double-rippers and a white Christ mas. But you can be sure of some thing: I never thought of the Gen eral Electric corporation. I never, in my life, looked at a snowflake and thought of Schenectady, N. Y. ? Tell me it isn't so, Owen Young! Just tell me you have just made a plastic flake, a cheap substitute, Mr. Shaefer; everything in this troubled nunu nao uccu ancreu, snaKen up, all fouled up and monkeyed with. The snowflake was about the one thing left untouched. It alone stood out in the original form, with a glamour all its own and a mystery untampered with. Who wants to see a child look out the window at the crystals from fairyland on a win ter morning and exclaim, "Oh, mumsy I Look what General Elec tric is doing !T ? Who wants to hear anybody recit ing Whittier? The snow had begun in the gloaming And busily all the night Bad been heaping field and high way With Schenectady products white. . . . ? Repudiate the whole thing, Gener al Electric. Or there will be trou ble. This country will never accept without a fight the prospect of coast ing down hill' on factory-made snow. ? ? fi The Big Four Take an Elevator at the Waldorf Byrnes?This is the one we take, I believe. Molotov?I object to such an abrupt conclusion, amounting almost to a directive, without debate. Bevin?Oh, this is an express to the 37th floor all right. Let's not quibble. Molotov?You say it is all right J **- v? 1 tuiu mi. Dyrnes says 11 IS ail right, but I must insist that does not make it necessarily so. Byrnes?If it is the considered judgment of the gentleman from the Soviet Union that another elevator be taken I shall not press an objec tion at this time. ? ? ? Kevin?What does the gentleman I propose? Molctov?I propose we designate three elevators. This would give us suitable range and prevent a narrow policy of adhering to one ele vator only. Byrnes?Why not four elevators? In case of a serious issue between us we would each have an elevator all our own. Molotov?That is a capitalistic proposal, plainly designed to im pede Russian freed.'un of action. The Soviet Union must oppose any solu tion as simple as that It might satisfy everybody. I must insist on tnree elevators, thus giving Rus sia the right at all times to get in with somebody else. De Mnrville ? What would the world think if it could see us hesi tant in the mere matter of an eleva tcr? I move that we make eleva tors optional. Bevln?I remember the Soviet Union when it would scorn an elev tor and insist on walking up the 37 flights. ? ? ? ? "That gag which B Cerf includ ed in his joke book giving me credit and which I pointed out I had heard from Joe E. Louis was really created by the inimitable Bugs Baer. and first appeared on this very page several years ago."?Louis Sobol. ? Ah, ifs a tough life that any good gag leads these days. Ev erybody gets into the act, except the author. Woman's World Avoid Last Minute Shopping; Sew Simple Gifts at Home ?rrla J4a(ey f~\ NE charming neighbor o1 ours ^ always says, "Isn't it funny how you think your Christmas list is complete and you And at the last minute you've neglected someone. I've neveg seen it to fail." I think most of us have that ex perience nearly every year, and then we're in a dither trying to do last minute shopping when every thing is ? picked over completely, and there just isn't enough time to select a proper gift. There's a solution, however, which you'll And a lot easier to follow than trying to shop. Spend the time at home and see what you can make out of your sewing basket. There are lots of things that can be made out of bits of gay cloth or a ball of yarn which are welcome All-in gifts. I don't suppose any woman ever had enough pot holders, because they do get their share of wear, scorching, etc. You can really make attractive pot lifters by using odd bits of colorful material, or even oilcloth. Any neighbor or friend will be happy to receive a fresh pair of them among her gifts. Another friend of mine who likes children always has plenty of things on hand to give the youngsters when they bring her cookies or do errands for her. She makes a hobby out of yarn dolls which are the most at tractive things you've ever seen. Quick to make, too, they're ideal for the last minute gift. String and Stocking Dolls Use Odd Scraps of Material To make string dolls, gather all the bits of odd string you can And. Wind the string, both coarse and thin pieces together, aroynd a small piece of cardboard which has been cut two or three inches long. Tie at the top and cut at the bottom. Divide the thicknesses for arms, legs and body. Tie at the neck and waist, clip arms the proper length and tie. Then tie off feet for boy dolls. Color them by simmering in dye. Make some red, some green and perhaps others yellow. If you want to make a glamor doll, use the sequins from an old Sew instead of shopping . . . dress as trimming, adding glitter here and there, on hands, toes, (ace and body. To make a stocking doll, select a man's sock or some o( the short socks your son or daughter have used. Clip off the toe part, and use the material to make fat little arms for the doll. The rest of the foot should be cut in two and stitched to Make the legs. Stuff with cotton bat ting, shape the head with stitching and embroider eyes, nose and mouth. If you want to dye the sock in a brilliant color, do this before making the doll. Scarlet is a good color to use for a doll of this type. Simmer For almoit forgotten gifts. ing in the dye bath tor 8 to 9 min utes will do the trick. The sock should then be rinsed in cold water and allowed to dry thoroughly. Lapel Pins, Pictures, Teddy Bears Nice. Too. White pipe cleaners are inexpen sive, and they can be used to make clever lapel ornaments for teen-age | girls. Simply dye the pipe cleaners . to a desired shade and let dry thor- | oughly before attempting to ahape them into dolls or other orna ments. If you are making a dancing doll, use one pipe cleaner for the head and body, another for the arms, still another for the dancing legs and a fourth for her skirt. A boy dancer will take two more for the legs and trousers, a part of one pipe cleaner for the feet, and a part of another for scarf and sash. Any combina tion of colors may be used. Charming pictures can be made from cloth, and they're a nice addi tion for a youngster's room. You can use as your guide a page from a child's book. Use thin cotton ma terial in any desired color, dyed, if necessary, and cut patterns on cloth from the picture you are using for a model. Mount these on another piece of cloth and use a simple wood frame. Discarded terry cloth bath towels are excellent material for making teddy bears that young fry like to carry with them. There are patterns available for making the bears, or you can make one of your own if I you're good at drawing. It's a good idea to dye the towel if it's white ! and you may use brown or pastels. Be sure to decorate the teddy bear with a red ribbon tongu*. button eyes and red ribbon bow tie. Quickie Cift Ideas Rayon and cotton towelings make nice tray or luncheon sets. Cut doilies 12 inches by 18 inches and finish off by raveling the edges to make a fringe. The nap kins can be made 12 inches by 12 inches and may also be rav eled. A set of four, six or eight of these will make an especially nice gift for a busy homemaker. Here's a tip for making some things of odd boxes. Use them for lingerie cases, handkerchief or hose containers. Cover them with cloth or wallpaper, and use a contrasting color or print for lining. You haven't time to knit mit tens? Well then, make them from old sweaters. Cut a pat tern slightly larger than hand size and machine stitch around the pattern to outline the mitten pieces and prevent ravelling. Use a whipstitch or buttonhole stitch in contrasting colored yarn for finishing the mitten. Another idea for mittens is to make them out of an old suede jacket and then sew bits of fur around the cuffs, or use fur for lining. Decorative head bands are nice for teen-agers and don't take long to make. Use embroidered felt in bright warm colors, sequins on s wire frame, or fur or feathers. Waist Molding A neat one-piece wool cheeked dress is presented by New York de signers in the moderate price Held. In red and black, it is well mold ed at waist and sides. Fashion Forecast * - I Bustle interest is still in fashion, but the effects are rather softened with muted drapery, soft bows or shirring. Look for tailored jackets to go with your daytime and evening fash ions. Not only are they practical to have in cooler weather, but they add a note of completeness to your drew. Tyrolean influence ia being felt in some of the young girl'a casual hats. They are made of felt and have one of those quaint feathers at the back. Mothers used to like to get rid' of their maternity clothing as soon as baby arrived, but it's not so with the new clothes now ready for her. She can keep aa spearing them. How Ohio Fanner ? Reclaims Pasture Uses Quality Livestock In Marketing Hay Crop Gail Heckley, a successful Lick ing county, Ohio, tanner, has proven that proper soil treatment for pasture land will pay dividends. In the fall of 1938 and spring of 1939 he used two tons of ground lime stone and the equivalent of 500 pounds of 20 per cent superphos phate per acre. In 1944, he gave it a second application of both lime and fertilizer. Originally the pasture consisted largely of broom sedge, poverty grass, some red top, some cinque foil and briers, together with other weeds. Today he has a good stand of blue-gTass and white clover. The pasture carries four to five times as much livestock as it did before treatment. Summing up the beneficial ex periences Heckley and other Ohio farmers have had with well-man aged pasture improvement pro grams, Dr. D. R. Dodd, Ohio State university agronomist, declared: "The application of adequate lime and fertilizer to what were former ly unsatisfactory permanent pasture areas and low yielding hay lands has taken the discouragement out of farming and put additional profit into the annual income. One very important item should not be over looked. The high quality pasture and hay must be utilized by high quality livestock if maximum profits are to be obtained." Newcastle Outbreaks Continue to Increase New outbreaks of Newcastle dis ease, the serious chicken ailment ?tvUink kn/1 annnnea/1 wiuv.it uau a^aivu in 21 states, must be detected prompt ly if further rapid spread is to be checked. The American Foundation for Ani mal Health has urged farmers to be constantly on the alert for signs of nerve disorders in their flocks, such as trembling, throwing the head back ward, or pulling the head down be tween the legs. Ruffled feathers, difficult breathing, or a condition that looks like a "cold" may also be danger signs. Because this is a virus disease, and the symptoms may often be ob scure, the veterinarian generally has to resort to laboratory tests to be certain that the disease is pres ent. New Brooder Honse A stationary concrete brooder house and sanitary sun porch, as shown, provide maximum protection for chicks. Disease problems be come greatly reduced when concrete sun porches are provided. The con crete is also a safeguard against fire in the brooder house. Broom and Rake Rack The life of brooms, hoes, rakes or pitchforks used around the barn will be materially increased if rack is made so that they may be hung on the wall. This rack needs only scrap lumber and S hinge. If necessary a leather hinge may be used. Hexachlorocyclohexane Proven New Insect Foe Locust, house cricket, cockroach, body louse, bedbug, aphid, cabbage worm, winter moth caterpillar, clothes moth, melon worm, south ern army worm, beet webworm, pea weevil, flea beetle, mustard beetle, apple blossom weevil, bean weevil, granary weevil, hide beetle, mosqui to, housefly, sheep tick, wasp, ant, fleg, red mile and wood louse, all can be killed by gamma isomer of ?
