Eyes For The Story By Paula This is the story of Hilda, a Seeing-Eye dot. Hilda tells her own story. So far she has passed from her puppy days to long months of training in the work that is to be a very valuable job indeed . . . guiding the blind. When this beautiful shepherd was a graduate pupil she was given over to a 16-year-old blind girl, Clare. Clare is one of three children in a middle - class A merican home. She has one young brother, a mother and dad, and an older brother, who, Clare tells Hilda, "is seldom at home." Chapter 6 HOW well I remember that trip In the bus. It was my first journey away from the Foun dation and my first close look at people other than Clare and the affectionate folk who had charge of my youth and my education. I looked around the crowded bus. They were a strange assort ment. Some of them I trusted at once. That young man across the aisle with his rumpled hat shoved down over his sleepy eyes was not one to frighten me. Just the way he spoke to the fat woman with the bird cage when she ob jected to 'a dog riding with peo ple," I knew he "was all right. Whenever the bus stopped, 1 peeked out of the door to try and see what kind of country we were traveling through. Once the bus stopped for a long time, and the driver sajd we could all get out and walk around. Clare hesitated, but I knew we'd be all right; so I hopped up and led her down the steps. We walked back and forth in a little park. I looked at everything and really felt proud that I was trav eling. When the driver said, "Fair- vllle, end of the line," Clare got up and said, "We're home, Hilda." And she looked glad. Naturally, I was curious about where we were going and jUBt what sort of people I would live with. When we walked into the little stage depot, a gray-haired little man hurried through the front door and rushed up to Clare. "Hello, honey," he cried, and SAM AND JOHN THE colonists in the New World had not forgotten the oppression thev suffered in Eng land. They had no patience with orders about their ways and atti tude toward the taxes levied upon rhe b" the Mother Country. The Old World feeling of oppression was lifted by the hold they had in the free fields of their new homes, and they were going to defend that freedom, regardless! These pioneers of a new country did not think themselves a great people who were to be looked up to by all the world. They wanted only to live their own lives in t their own way, and, most of all. ' they wanted all others to leave them alone. The other world would not leave them alone; so the builders of a new nation said, "All right, we'll see." They armed themselves as best they could and waited for the attack. Don't think that there was per fect harmonv between the colon ists themselves. There were money lenders in the cities and borrower-farmers In the country. They quarreled with each other. But, these same quarreling Americans had one common cause that held them from an open break they both loathed any in terference from England. It was well for the Revolution that was to follow, that this was so. SAM and John Adams were cousins. John was a lawyer, a man of force and determination. He had been a student at Har vard in 1755. Sam was different in many ways, older and, though of the same highborn English family, a friend of everyone, and The Dark Of A Dog Norton kissed her. X knew this must be her father. I liked him at once. 'Dad, this is Hilda," and when the man leaned down and put his worn hand on my head, I bowed I was pleased to know him. Then we hurried out to the little .ar and all climbed in. "How's Mom," Clare asked, as ioon as we were settled. "She's pretty well, honey, and mighty anxious to have you home." "How's Buddy?" I knew by her smile that she meant her little brother. "That rascal? Oh, he's always the same," her father answered as we got under way. "No worse and no better." We rambled through the busy streets of the little town. I was interested taking in the sights, and as we got out into the dis trict of little homes, Clark asked -How's Al, Dad?" Worry and anxiety passed ovei the little man's face like a shad pw. "Oh, he's all right," he said. Clare felt the brave falsehood in his voice. She slipped her arm through his and let her thin hand rest on his rough one. "I know, dad," was all she said. I thought a lot about that brother Al now. I felt I wasn't going to like him much not so long as he was capable of worry ing Clare and those dear to her, Then, while I was deep in the wonder of my actually disliking anyone, most of all someone I'd never seen, we whirled into the driveway beside a little yellow house. The car had barely come to a stop when the door of the house flew open, and a plump little woman ran down the steps and threw her arms around Clare. After her a freckle-faced boy, about eight years old, came shout ing and leaping around the car. Then he noticed me, and stopped still. He looked at me. I looked right back. I wanted him to know I did not expect to belong to any one but Clare. "Gee, Sis," he said, "that's some pooch you got there." (Continued next week) a jolly good fellow. Sam was a brewer and ready for any excite ment that might furnish a bois terous show. Thase two Adamses were, al heart, Englishmen, and they felt sure that if the powers-that-we re in England knew all the facts about the colonial situation they would do something that would bring about an understanding. They planned a Continental Congress made up of people from each colony. This congress was held in Philadelphia on September 5, 1774. These representatives of each colonv were to keep their people informed of the acts for and against them passed by Eng land. England was to be informed about the goings on in America. This way, the rights of the Amer icans would be fully understood and appreciated. THIS congress also adopted f resolution that no English goods could be imported to the colonies, and that all merchants be forbidden to sell English goods. Many of these merchants were dtill loyal to the Mother Country and insisted on selling what and when they pleased. It didn't get them much ex ept a tar and feathering. But this hue and cry was noth ing to the howls that emanated from the manufacturers In Eng land. The echo from England made the official bodies in the colonies realize that now England might "start something." These committees started to buy up powder, list the number of flintlocks and look for strong, dark cellars where they could be hidden. War clouds were In the air. Convenient Electric Toasters And Devices for Buffet Snacks Are Aid to Unprepared Hostess Here Are Several Delightful Sandwich Recipes Selected for Variety and Dainty Appearance By VIRGINIA ROSS Home Economics Editor WITH the shops showing all all sorts of alluring elec tric toasters and devices for the making of toasted sandwiches, this type of sandwich is brought into the culinary limelight.

WHAT IS SMOKE? BITS of carbon which have not been burned In a Are are given off in the form of smoke when combustion is not completed. If the combustion were complete, as in very hot fires, no smoke would be given off. TITLES FOR LEARNING In China, education is so very Important that titles are often given to those who have acquired a great amount of knowledge. FIRST THIMBLE Long ago. 200 years at least, a man named John Lo fling in vented a device helpful for every one who sewed. It was shaped like a bell and was made to fit over the thumb; so It was named the "thumb bell." However, it soon was shortened to thimble. Later on It was discovered that it would be more useful on an other finger, and so thimbles were made according to the size of a person's finger. THISTLE HONORED The thistle is the national em blem of Scotland. It is said that it received this high station In a plant's life because it once saved a Scottish army. It seems that a group of Danish soldiers one night were going to attack a Scotch encampment. One of the Danes, however, stepped upon a thistle with his bare feet. He cried out, awakening the Scotch sol diers. who defeated the Danes FIRST SANDWICH Long ago in England there lived a man who was such a great gambler that he would even ent his food at the gaming table. He used to slap a piece of meat be tween two ilices of bread and gobble it down while playing. His name was the Earl of Sandwich, and thus the name of sandwich came from this gambler's strange mode of eating.

TAKE CADE M0UPET COACH DOG WE ARE still trying to de cide just which dog you will choose for your own special pet. How about a coach dog? The real name of this breed is the Dalmatian. He was called coach dog because he used to be the running companion of our four-footed friend, the horse. Per haps, since horses are so scarce, the coach dog, too, is not so easy to find. This type of dog is hardy, very clean in his habits and a super watchdog. He is a native of Dal matia. formerly a province of Austria. He is a hound, and mnny believe he originated from the same family as the pointer. HUNTING DOG Perhaps you have a big yard your new pet may enjoy, or may be you are fortunate enough to live on a ranch. If so. consider the pointer. The pointer Is a noble creature, quiet and dignified. He has an other quality brains. This dog is of English develop ment, a crosB between a Spanish hunting dog and an English fox ho'ind. and he is famous for his ability to "point" birds for wing shooters. ENGLISH SETTER Speaking of Hotter, there are thtee more we must mention, the Gordon setter, the English setter and the Irish setter. All are beau tiful, all lovable and appealing. These three are clever in the field, and loved by every man who hunts. Ultewise, they make won derful pets, for they are gentie and affectionate. The English setter is a descend ant of the English spaniel and a Spanish pointer. The Gordon setter is part Fcotoh span!el and part Irlsli set ter. The Irinh setter Is tlyght by some to be the original of the setter family. He is, as far as can be traced, Irish through and through. HINTS for the KITCHEN DON'T serve left-over muffins coldmake them as good as new by reheating them. To reheat muffins without drying them out, place them for 20 minutes or so in the top of a double boiler over boiling water. A delicious way to serve left-over muffins is to split and toast them and serve buttered with jam or marmalade, Did you know that muffins baked in iron pans are particu larly attractive in shape and have a delicious, crisp brown crust? Iron muffin pans must be thor oughly heated before they are used. They should "sitzle" when you grease them but don't let them get too hot. For raisin spice muffins use recipe for muffins, sifting tea spoon cinnamon with flour, bak ing powder, sugar, and salt. Add cup chopped raisins to the sifted flour mixture. For surprise muffins use recipe for muffins. Drop a scant teaspoon of currant jelly on each muffin before baking. A little rubber batter scraper is Just the thing to use to coax melted chocolate out of the bowl. It gets every bit of the chocolate Into the cake and leaves a bowl that's slick as a whistle. To fix toasted almonds, shell them, cover them first with boil ing water and let them stand for several minutes. Next rinse them in cold water, and slip the skins off. Chop or slice them while they're still damp, and put them in a shallow pan in a moderate oven, stirring them frequently until they're a delicate brown. The almonds may be left whole, if you wish. I extend the shortcake season through the whole year. When strawberries have gone, I use cherries, raspberries, or peaches, and in the wintertime, canned or cooked dried fruits. A little lemon juice sprinkled over whole strawberries, when you're serving them as a first course, gives a pleasant tartness. Some people advise a few grains of salt to bring out the flavor of crushed fruits. To prevent peaches discoloring after they are sliced, slice them directly into a large bowl. Then sprinkle them with a tablespoon of lemon juice and spread over them all the sugar you intend to use, so that it forms a thick, nearly air-tight blanket. If you use fresh cherries for shortcake, sweeten them, heat until boiling and then let cool be fore you use them. Blueberries, too, should be heated with sugar, a little water, and sliced lemon. Give a novel "jam-cupboard shower" for a bride-to-be! With each glass enclose a card with the recipe, or one for using that par ticular jam or jelly in some un usual way. A square yard of canton flannel makes the most satisfactory Jelly bag. Use It with the fuzzy side InHide. A doubled square of cheese cloth can be used with more fib rous fruits, such as currants or rhubarb. Always wring the jelly cloth out in cold water before using it. INSTINCT THE dictionary tells us that the word "Instinct" means "Moved by an Inward impulse." So, you see when you duck your head as a blow is directed toward you . . . that is instinct. In other words an Inner impulse to save your head from a smashing. It is also Instinct that makes a father toad drag the eggs that will later be his family, into a warm pond, because otherwise they would not hatch. The Insect world Is filled with interesting "inner impulses " SHORTEST DISTANCE The distance between Charles ton, South Carolina, and San Diego, California, la 2,152 mile, the shortcut distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific In the United States. TWO-HOUR DAY Punta Arenas, the southern most city in the world, has only two hours of daylight in the winter time. FATHER OF HISTORY The title of the Father of His tory was given to Herodotus, Greek historian, by Cicero, more than four hundred years before the birth of Christ.

If you would like to have a dish of spinach received by your family with some such remark, try dramatizing it. A simple trick can turn an ordinary dish of spinach into something exciting.
