And not facing on the street, please. Too many trucks in Greenwich Vil lage to suit me." *'I adore the Village,” Peggy said quickly. The trouble was, the words seemed to jump out before she knew what she was going to say. Bill stared up ai a long crack in the ceiling. ‘Sure, we adore the Vil lage." She pinched him when the land lady wasn’t looking and he gave her hair a tug, and everything was all right again. They followed the land lady up the stairs. She had just the thing for them, she said. "A couple of kids like you won’t mind walking up four flights.” “Oh, no,” Peggy answered. Then she glanced at Bill. “Well, w’ould we?” Bill looked up at the ceiling again. “Oh, no.” She knew what he was thinking. And it was true. She didn't want to live in a place that had elevators. Bad enough to have him come home talking about them every night. Bad enough to have to answer the neigh bors’ questions with, “My husband? Oh he . . . er, sells elevators ” She could see them lifting their eye brows. “Elevators? Pardon me for smiling, Mrs. Bill, but I never knew any one had to sell elevators. I al ways thought they . . . just hap pened.” No, definitely not a place with ele vators. She didn't want to be re minded of her husband’s business every time she went in and out of the house. The landlady’s short, bowed legs were leading them up the stairs briskly, showing them how easy it was to climb four flights. “You’ll find it nice and quiet here, I’m sure. The gentleman who has it now has been there three years. And he's a writer.” “A writer?” Peggy had kind of a funny feeling all of a sudden. Like she’d gone up in an elevator too fast. A writer. That was what she’d alivays thought she’d marry some day. Or maybe an artist. Somebody like that. P eggy Is Intrigued They were walking up the last flight now and some one upstairs opened a door. Don’t let him be any better, looking than Bill, she begged. As it happened, he wasn’t. He vas just a pale young man with glasses. He stood there in his slacks and blue shirt and he looked , . . well, on second glance he looked . . . dif ferent. Nobody would ever take him for a life guard. That’s what she’d thought Bill was that first time, when they’d met on the beach. “Come right in." The young man waved something at them. It turned out to be a monkey WTench, of all things. “Don’t mind me, I’m just the plumber." Peggy laughed. It was so unex pected, it made her feel good. "The plumber,” she said, as their eyes met, “Imagine.” “Some plumber,” the landlady said. “That’s gratitude,” he said, look- «y FREDERICK LAING ip w — i » ... ... .i. i ing at Peggy, “I do her a favor and she makes fun of my plumbing.” “I think it's nice if a man knows how to fix the plumbing,” Peggy said. She glanced from the thin hands to the thin, pale face. “I real ly do." He looked pleased. “I’m a paint er. too,” he told her. "Look, 1 paint ed this china closet. What do you think of the shade?" It made her feel so flattered to have a writer showing off for her benefit. "It’s a lovely color,” she told him. And then she could feel Bill’s eyes on her. "Isn’t it. Bill?” "Yeah,” Bill said dryly, "blue.” Peggy winced. Well, that proved he wasn't color blind. “It’s the same shade as your hat,” this writer was saying. She blushed. "Think of a man's noticing that." "Yeah.” Bill said. The way he said it, it wasn't exactly a compli ment. HE landlady was smiling at them like the wolf in Red Ridinghood. "You look kinda young to be a married couple.” •'Oh we aren't married yet,” Peg gy blurted out. She felt Bill's fin gers tighten on her arm. "So you better show us that apart ment before she changes her mind," he added. She glanced up at him with a ner vous little smile, feeling ashamed, wishing she hadn't let him read her thoughts. The landlady laughed and Peggy laughed louder than she'd wanted ,4 f - ■ i- Milk Products Help In Conserving Grain Better Rations Result When Proteins Are Used T O B Y , T acom a 3, W ash . _______ D.

"I really do.” “If you want to see the apart ment,” the landlady began sharply. Then she pulled a smile over her false teeth. "This here's the kit chen. Bill said, "You mean the apart ment opens into the kitchen?" Behind his glasses, the young man’s light blue eyes were looking amused. “Oh you’ll get used to it. And it’ll give your friends some thing to talk about.” "He s some little talker himself, isn’t he?” the landlady said. “I think he’s wonderful," Peggy said, laughing. He certainly knew how to make a person feel perfectly at ease. Then she got a look at Bill’s face. She began to feel miserable. If only he wouldn’t look like that. Like a . . . She tried to push the thought out of her mind but it came right back again. . . . Like a dis appointed salesman. I’m sure you'll m ake, a mistake if you don’t buy our elevators, Mr. Kotch. The landlady led them into the living room, and when Peggy saw it, her heart sat up and begged. Her eyes drank in the bookcase that covered a whole wall, the orig inal paintings on unframed canvas, the oversized fireplace with thiee painted masks above it. And there was a table with a typewriter and a lots of papers piled-up in care less stacks. What darling taste you have. She almost said it, but she thought about Bill just in the nick of time. “TTie bedroom’s in there,” the landlady said. She let Peggy and Bill go into the bedroom by them selves.

Productivity Depends Upon Organic Matter The soil’s ability to produce high crop yields needed to feed hungry millions depends on its organic mat ter supply.

New Chemical Weapons To Combat Weed Pests Farmers and householders wag ing war on crab grass and other troublesome weeds and grasses can look for help from two new weap ons. The weed-killing chemicals bear the jaw-breaking names of sodium isopropyl xanthate and allyl mixed chlorophenyl carbonate. They have been tested by federal and state agricultural experiment stations "with excellent results against many weeds and grasses not eco nomically or satisfactorily con trolled by other chemicals or prac tices,” the announcement said. They are being used in active experimen tal programs but are not yet avail able commercially. The second-named herbicide is the one that combats crab grass, as well as barnyard, orchard and blue grass, cattails and similar plants. It has a hormone-like action which attacks the root structure of the weed and arrests growth immedi ately by preventing seed develop ment, even though no effect is ap parent on the surface for the first week or longer. It also is used effec tively in combination with 2-4-D against some broad-leaved weeds not affected by 2-4-D used alone. The sodium isopropyl xanthate is described as a "complete killer” which should not be applied direct ly to crop plants. It shows prom ise for pre-emergence treatment, in spray or dust form, and has been used with success in the chemical weeding of growing crops. j R B F H IG B R A T O H BQU1FM BM T Hulu* 41 Mervlce.
