; Maina is largely a riot of ruf
fles and bustle. You know she is
uncomfortably corsetted by her
posture. She occupies a chair be
side Papa (precisely as if she were
a stick of cerdwood. As if Papa
had placed herrthere, turned, her
face toward his, and said, "Now
sit, my love, and gaze admiringly
upon thy worthy superior.

Papa is slightly narrow between
the eyes. . . - -
The eldest youngster is a lad
six weeks overdue at the local
barbershop. . He occupies a stool
beside the fireplace. At his feet
is the "nightmarish feline having
its indelible tummy : scratched.
The lad's face is turned away,
but if the shape of his head is
any gauge of his I. Q-, my guess
is that his old man had to burn
down the schoolhouse to get him
out of the second grade. 1
Two other: kiddies, looking as
if they'd been scrubbed with a
brush and boiled in starch, are
planted sedately on a lounge ei

One I interesting feature, among
many, was the new Golden Jubi

coloring just about that of the

and gives an interesting color note
for an autumn salad.

that they would mature to any ex

the rose show at PcRland this
week, much as I would have liked
to have done so. However, I won
der if the French "Orange Nas
sau", wouldn't fill the bill. This is
a comparatively new rose, it is of
an unusual and very attractive
coloring in the orange shades, and
while the bud is not so very small,
it does grow on a rather low bush.
My one objection to it is that the
bush, remains so small that there
are not so very many branches on
which to produce roses. However,
it Is a rose almost anyone will
like.- It has attracted a great deal
of attention wherever it is seen.
I do not know if it was displayed
at the autumn rose show at Port

many gardens. But it win prob
ably be better known in a few
years.

SOMEWHERE IN THE PACI
FIC The greatest, most impres
sive experience I can remember
came during a, flight in a torpedo
dive bomber over Kolambangara
island, laden with 1000 pounds' of
bombs.
We were to fly from the air
craft carrier to a land base, thence
to the objective, Vila plantation
on ; Kolambangara island, hun
dreds of miles above Guadalcanal.
We flew over -water ; for more
than 200 miles to the land base.
Next morning we were off
again. Suddenly my pilot,
Donald C Wiessenborn of Port
land. Ore, the division leader,
wiggled his wings, pointed down
ward and we peeled off to drop
our bombs.
The pilot and radioman and
rear gunner had something to oc
cupy their minds. All I had to do
was observe Down,' down, diving
at more than 500 miles per hour,
we went. From all sections of the
island I saw red spurts of flame
denoting anti-aircraft cannon.
With a mighty lurch our ship
rose as we lightened it by drop
ping our 1000 pounds of, bombs.
But Wiessenborn was put out be
cause something had struck our
plane
Again he forced the nose of his
plane downward, straight at the
most persistent cannoneer on the
ground. '
Straight into the puking mouth
of that cannon we went. Then
without notice Wiessenborn pull
ed the nose of bis plane up to al
low our wing plane to get in his
bomb. I found myself , sweating
and cold. Our fallowing TBF let
loose and that 500 pound bomb
went unerringly into the gun em
placement, z ' ; ',
Cannon, crew and surrounding
countryside blew into the air. Don
again wiggled his wings, which
did not help, my already retching
stomach. We straightened out for
a tour about the Island to see
what damage we had. done, and
then headed home .
