Wood, especially un finished wood, absorbs moisture from the air in w arm , humid weather and swells. While the wood is swollen, not much can be done except to ease tight places by rub- ► ’ ’ng with wax. But later when heat has dried out the house and brought the wood back to norm al size, coat the underside of tables and other unfinished wood surfaces with v a r nish or w a x to prevent the wood from taking in so much m oisture again. The bulged board that adds to hom e ironing difficulties is a prob lem to m any hom em akers. Ironing boards are usually unfinished, and kept in dam p laundries or kitchens. In ironing, steam from dam p clothes is driven down into the wood. W ood experts advise buying a thoroughly seasoned board at least an inch and a half thick, be cause thick wood w a rp s less than thin, and giving it several all-over coats of good sp ar varnish. Cleats of hard wood nailed to the under side of the board help to hold it flat. K eep the board in a d ry place. T raits of Quail The M earns Q uail, which occurs in sem i-arid lands of the southwest, probably had its original home in tropical forest, according to D r. Loye H olm es M iller, professor of biology em eritus on the L o s Angeles cam pus of the U niversity of C a li fornia. D r. M iller, who recently m ade a study of the bird, reports that it has a num ber of characteristics, such as large eyes, which suggest it evolved under forest conditions. The nature of certain of its muscles are sim ilar to those of the tinamou of E l Salvador. The bird also bears closer struc tural resem blances to the forest quail with which it is associated in the southwest. Curiously, m any of the habits which probably developed in the tropics also serve the qua»* w ell in its present habitat It is able to gather food in the dim light of early daw n, and it can rise explosively to seek cover in broken desert country when flushed by m an or one of its natural enem ies.

Food requirements will continue heavy, but we shall have the largest crops in our history. Hence, food supplies will remain ample; but will not be excessive. Both hard and soft goods will con tinue scarce until we can revert to production for civilian requirements. Retail prices after the War may av erage 15% or more above prewar pri ces. Certainly, when new automo biles are available, they will be priced higher than prewar levels. Building costs will also be up sharply. Conclusion We are now definitely In the tran sition period from war to peace. Hitler will probably collapse some time between November 7, 1944, and March 7, 1945, The coming six months will bring more adjustments in business and in living than we have witnessed for sometime. Yet these headaches are the necessary prelude to peacetime activities Des pite them, I am sure we shall all breathe more easily in the near-term future than we have In the recent past.

A you may have read in the newspapers, the Office of Defense Transportation has given the railroad authority to take train space from civilian passengers at any time, to make room for wounded service men. Beaverton Pharmacy Beaverton, 2311 W e sincerely hope that people planning trip» not essential to the war effort will cancel their plans so that more room will be left on trains, and so make it unnecessary to take these drastic steps. W e are going to take care of these wounded men first. Tt*ey come first with us, and we believe they come first with you. But we and other railroads would dislike very much to camel reservations at the last minute, or to make people already on trains give up their space.
