When using double thread knot the two ends separate ly—this prevents any tiresome twisting and knotting. • • • Don't Burn the Cake.—Set an alarm clock to go off at the time when cakes, and roasts, are due to be finished. It can be heard all over the house and acts as a re minder to the busy housewife who, intent on another job, may have forgotten the time. • • • Prune Salad.—Cook some large prunes, one for each person. Stone and stuff with cream cheese which has been softened with a little milk. Let the stuffed prunes set for half an hour. Take one or two large lettuce leaves and arrange on each plate. Cut a slice of orange on the round and place on lettuce, and in the center of orange place a stuffed prune. Serve with mayonnaise dressing • • • Washing Walls.—When washing dirty painted walls with soapy wa ter containing a cleaning powder, the job is made easier if a little flour is added to the water to make a paste. The paste will hold the mixture to the wall long enough for the powder to dissolve the dirt. • • • Growing House Plants.—When soil in which house plants are potted becomes more like clay than loam it may be lightened by adding sand to it. Plants grow best in this kind of soil. • • • Unrolling Tape. — Scoring the sides of friction tape with an old razor blade, or sharp pocket knife will enable you to unroll it with out tearing the edges. • • • Grouping Furniture.—Groupings of furniture, including pictures and lamps, should generally bal ance each other in height, width and effect of lightness or heavi ness, housing experts say.

"Do I send for Leonardo?" " N o l” commanded Joyce. She turned toward Don Jorge. “ Maxie, if you and M r, Van Suttart don't mind. I'd like to talk to Adan Ar naldo alone." Promptly Don Jorge turned cere monious. He rose, bowed, faced to ward his own room, stumped straight to the door, stood back to force Dirk to pass, then entered and closed it with emphasis. "Let's get out of here," said Adan. “ I remember a big shabby room with a huge fireplace." "That's where I meant to go when we'd finished talking,” said Joyce. The life of a hacienda is not that of a house but a village, some times almost of a town. Articles and values are easily destroyed or lost, but certain ingrained funda mentals take years to die. The he reditary blacksmith, the itinerant piano-tuner, a teacher of sorts for the crowded school and a horse and cattle foreman to carry on the ban ner of scorn for the equally im portant chief of the muleteers are threads not lightly torn from a so cial fabric however raveled. The drawing room gave evidence of this truth. The furniture had been m al treated, but the curtains had been recently patched by an expert nee- "Where now, master?" “ We walk to La Barranca,” said Arnaldo and set off, picking his way along the dry bed of the aroyo un til he struck the fresh trail Juanito had failed to take. Two hours later they came upon Van Suttart's damaged car and ex amined it with interest; soon after ward they arrived at the rope bridge, crossed it successfully and headed for the hacienda's nearest gate. Not until the two strangers were within a stone’s throw of the outer wall did Joyce recognize the taller of them and utter a cry. Accompanied by D irk she dashed down to the great court and with his help opened the zaguan and then the outer gate. She held out both hands, her eyes shining with welcome. "How on earth did you get here? You haven't walked all the way have you?” Arnaldo had raised his hat. He dropped it on the ground, took her hands, gave her a gleaming smile, nodded at Van Suttart, shrugged his shoulders and pointed backward with his chin. It was as though he had spoken, told them in so many words where, how and when his car had been ditched. “ So you changed your mind,” said Dirk. 'Yes,” said Arnaldo. “ Something happened to make me change my m ind.” ‘What do you mean?” asked Joyce. "W hat are you two talk ing about?” “ I asked Arnaldo to come with m e,” explained D irk, "but he re fused to take part in a sentimental gesture.” "Quite true," admitted Adan, j "but that was before I knew Miss Sewell, scorning the role of vic tim , had shot up Dorado.” He looked around curiously. “ Where are your 18 gringos?” , “ What gringos?” asked Joyce, be wildered. Taking out his wallet Arnaldo ex tracted the clipping the minister of war had handed him and passed it to Joyce. “ Read it. I ’m here on a semi-official mission to investigate.” She glanced through the inspired account of the taking of La Bar ranca and the further she read the more did her eyes and cheeks blaze. She crushed the paper in her fist, started to throw it away, then changed her mind, smoothed it out and slipped it inside her pullover.

C oast and G eo d etic Survey Charts Show H ow the Sea R earran ges Its Bed The seas do not like tfieir living quarters. So they build up, tear down, and rearrange their beds, writes Elliott Roberts in Nature magazine. All of which adds to the labor of man, self-appointed record er of the changing movements of the sea and their effect on the con tour of the land. The earliest explorers o i our shores knew nothing of the deeps and shoals; they were blind men groping in a strange bouse. The situation is now remedied by charts of our oceans and coastal waters, so that great ships steam confidently where the first comers had to sound their cautious way. Still, we are forever confronted with the sea's restless changes—deepening here, shoaling there—and the advance or recession of the shoreline on many a mile of coast. The chart makers must be forever alert to the latest changes, to keep the charts accu rate.
