There are parts of the coast where the limestone cliffs rise to a con siderable height, only to fall away again To the sand flats of such tidal estuaries as are formed where the Loughor, the Burry or the Towy riv ers meet the sea. To the west of Swansea the Mumbles Head curves protectingly into the bay. From this windy elevation the view across the bay toward Swansea and Port Talbot has as a background the chimneys of innumerable industries, says the Sunday Times of London.

Six days a week for the last 20 years a museum on wheels has bumped along Forsyth county’s rural roads in North Carolina. The vehicle carries “ Professor” T. E. Woosley, veteran rural mail carrier, along his route. Back in the era of prosperity just after the World war, Woosley’s “de luxe model touring car” was the king of the dirt roads. Today it’s nothing less than a mu seum, for it shows by vivid contrast the startling progress realized in the American automobile industry. Flashy 1940 model beauties can purr past him and tl)e occupants can turn and smile in a you-poor- man manner, but the “professor” is satisfied with his 1920 machine. Service is what he puts a premium on, and he can't find any reason to complain. Since July, 1920, the old touring car has been faithful. The speedometer broke years ago, but the known mileage is far more than 100,000 miles, and every day 59.3 miles are added.

Agent Phone 2531 UNION PACIFIC RAJIROAQ . . t r jJ -/ Ur r r i l l i t f/ttyru' If a Minnesota farmer finds a gold, violet or red grasshopper in his corn field he knows it’s one of the 20,000 or more grasshoppers that the state department of agriculture painted and then turned loose over the state. State entomologists naturally aren't solely interested in raising gayly colored grasshoppers. They want to learn the direction of hopper migrations. Every now and then a batch of the colored hoppers appear in some sec tion of the state. Whenever a farm er locates one of the colored flock he notifies the agriculture department. The pests are sprayed with the lacquer of a chosen color, diluted with banana oil. Any of the various tints can be used. Protective Insulation Board The degree of protection from out side temperatures that any house can offer depends primarily not upon the strength or thickness of its walls but upon the insulating value of the material used in construction. For example, one inch of structural insulating board in the walls gives | weather protection equal to that ot 15 inches of common brick, 36 inches of concrete or three inches of lumber One-half inch of insulation board will reduce the heat loss through walls and ceilings by one- third. The first layer of insulating board effects the greatest fuel sav ing, the next less, the next still less, and so on. i s s s « i Drug Store Cowboy There really is a drug store cow boy in Oklahoma City. All the messenger boys were on other er rands when Miss Letha Scott, drug gist. needed one in a hurry. Just then Tup Robertson rode up on his horse. “Tup, why don’t you make this delivery for me?” said she. And Tup was off in a flash It made such a hit with the customer that Miss Scott got two other boys with horses, 10-gallon hats and trimmings to carry her packages. C o m p le te C o m fo rt! • •.
