Address-
An elderly couple had been sit­
ting in front of the evening fire a
long time without speaking. At
last the husband inquired, “What
are you thinking about?”
To which the wife replied: “ I
was just thinking how long we
have lived together and that it
couldn’t go on forever like this and
that the time will soon come when
one of us will have to go.”
“ Yes,” assented the old man,
“but it is no use to worry about
that now, Mother.”
“No,” was the calm reply, “ but
I was just thinking that when it
does happen, I would like to go to
California to live.”

edge of the fa b ric w ith the finger

When a g re a t deal o f ru fflin g is

it's advisable to pass a %-inch

in c lin a tio n to skip gathers.

necessary to fold the edges under

Africans Worship Planes
It is quite possible that some of
the African natives worship air­
planes. It is definitely known that
when Accra, the capital city of the
Gold Coast in West Africa, ac­
quired a large air base in 1939,
some of the natives of that region
added model airplanes to the head­
dress which they wore in their re­
ligious ju-ju dances.
