TGI MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE luried Treasure gBP'O J OcW Revolver From Side of At first glance it didn't seem very different from most re volvers, but when Ned picked it up I could see it was unusual. "This is a Slocum's Patent Side-Loading Revolver, and, in cidentally, one of the best hand guns I've ever had." Explaining that the Vepon had to be et at half cock for loading, Ned proceeded to dem onstrate. ' "It holds five .32 calibre bul lets," he said. I noted that it WClll.

The gentleman who had brought the item into the stamp dealer's for sale was unobtru sive and mild, but there was nothing mild about him as he objected to the price offered. In fact, he was vociferous, and he put a rasping sound in his vftce that would make anyone want to get out of earshot as soon as possible. "Certainly I know you've got a lot of overhead," he snapped, "and maj$e your children all have hoof and . mouth disease, too. I'm sorry, but all I really want is a fair price for ' this cover." The dealer picked up the en velope and locked at it again. The stamps were the 50-cent, green issue put out on Oct. 2, MANY CURRIER it IVES PRINTS UNLISTED IN CATALOGS The wife of a friend of mine recently bought an old picture for the sake of the frame. She got it for $4, a substantial saving, but when she came to remove the picture, she discovered some thing else that will keep her in frames for quite a while. As backing for the picture worthless, wooden landscape there was a Currier & Ives print entitled "Wheelmen In A - Red Hot Finish.". v It wasn't necessary to look at the copyright date, 1894, to see that the scene was one from the heyday 'of the 90s. It showed seven cyclists, each with a han dlebar moustache, bent low over their vwheels as' they dashed past a stand on which stood bowler - hatted, bewhiskered judges. Each of them, pedalling madly by and wearing beany-type caps and multi-colored tfiorts, had the earnest, Frank Mersiwell look ' of a soul determined to do or die.

"It was the first re volver to use rim fire cartridges without infringing Smith and Wesson patentsvand for a while it was very popular in the 60s." : He turned the revolver over and slid the tubes forward over a piston to eject the sheils. "I had to pay $300 for it, and I really Couldn't afford it at the time, but I've never regretted it," he added. OF SIX PYRAMIDS VALUE 1933, in connection with the flight of the Graf Zepplin from Chicago to Europe. There were six of them on the cover, form ing what is known as a margin block of six, an item rare enough to pyramid the value of the single stamp considerably. "Well,';.tsaid the dealer, "the top pric quoted in the catalogue is $60 for the margin block, can celled, which is what this is, and I've got "to make something on it, so . . . ". - "Very well," rasped the own er, "give it here. I'll take it else where." I thought the dealer would tell him to go, but he didn't. "All right," he said hastily. "All right. I'll give you the full price." And he whipped out his billfold. , "I've another customer who wants this," he . said when tl: seller had gone into the hall, "and I .just couldn't afford to let this get into the hands of my competitor down the street." Ives scenes that bring thou sands," the lucky finder said, "But it finally dawned on me that there might be some col lectors of this very type of thing." . A trip to the public library was enough for her to discover how right she was. The print, about 12 by 18 inches, is one of the less valuable, but it lists at $50 and'sometimes more. She did better than that, how ever, getting $70 for it from one of her husband's friends. And she also learned something else, other than the fact that even the obscure Currier & Ives prints are well worth finding that no one knows"- how many different prints Currier & Ives made, or the titles of all of them. There may be even more than the usu ally accepted figure of 7,000 to 7,500. ' , "And I think I know," she said, "where there is one that isn't in the catalogues, and when I go there next month, I certain ly intend to find out.; After all, it could be one of the" early ones." .

Mrs. ' Andrea Mackey, home economist, says the new choco late minute nix, a one-bowl cake, reduces the mixing time necessary for an ordinary cake by 10 to 15 minutes. It requires less mixing time than packaged cake mixes. The new method streamlines cake mixing for homemakers. Steps in mixing have been saved by first sifting all dry ingredi ents together. Shortening, eggs, milk and flavoring then are add ed to the dry ingredients. All are mixed together for one minute. No creaming of fat and sugar or beating of egg whites is neces sary. When the one minute of mixing is over, batters looks like "chocolate whipped cream." Success of the cake depends on a fast mixing speed and the use of Mrs. Mackey's recipe, which was developed especially for the minute-mix method. She warns home-makers not to use substi tutes in the recipe. Cooks who have "favorite" cake recipes won't necessarily be able to mix their cakes successfully in one minute. Mrs. Mackey had to standard ize ingredients so that cakes pre pared with different mixers would be equally good. This was necessary because each machine has a different mixing action, Duplication of familysized kitch ens was maintained as far as pos- sible by the use of home-mixers and kitchen-size ranges. Between 400 and 500 cakes were baked over the three-month testing period. . Development of the minute mixcake is part of experimental work Mrs. Mackey has been do- ing,with recipes for pie pastry, muffins and pancakes using soft wheat flours. A recipe for white cake that can be mixed in one minute, will soon be relesaed by Mrs. Mackey. Chocolate Cake Recipe 2 13 cups cake flour, sifted before measuring . IV2 cups sugar 1 1V4 teaspoons baking soda w 1 teaspoon double action baking powder VA teaspoons salt 32 cup bitter cocoa . Sift the above ingredients to- gether. Place in small mixing bowl. (lVfc-to 2 quart). Smaller bowls may be used, but avoid splashing when mixing is started. Add the following ingredients: 3t cup vegetable shortening 1 egg, medium size 113 cups evaporated milk 1 teaspoon vanilla Directions ; ' Start mixing at slowest speed. Alter 0 to 10 seconds, ;inove speed control to fastest position Continue mixing at fast speed 50 seconds. Total mixing time? 1 minute. Line bottom of two 9 inch cake pans with wax paper. Pour batter into pans. Tap pans sharply two or three times. Bake at 375 degrees F. (moderately hot oven) 25 to 30 minutes. Cool a few minutes. Loosen edges and turn out of pans.

Here's news for people who suffer needlessly from irregularity You get much more than a fine tasting dish for fitness and flavor when you eat All-Bran with milk. Kellogg's All-Bran, the original whole bran laxative cereal, is scientifically milled to bring you natural food bulk in its most effec tive form. Besides that, All-Bran and milk give 9 body-builders you need: phosphorus, iron, calcium, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, vita mins A and D as well as high quality protein. All-Bran is fa mous for its effective relief of con stipation due to lack of dietary bulk. So get the original the one and only, Kellogg's All-Bran. It really works. Double your money back if a daily dish of All-Bran and milk doesn't have you regular within 10 days. That's a promise from Kellogg's of Battle Creek, Michigan. conn? Officer's Wife Writes Of Tour Through Europe Describing Switzerland as a place "where ' you could take pictures blindfolded and still have something beautiful," Mrs. A. L. Clay recently wrote of a trip which she, her husband and small son made through France, Switzerland, Italy, Autria and Germany. First Lt. Clay and his wife, the former Duane Maddox, are living at Chambley in France while the officer is as signed to duty at an Air Force hospital. Mrs. Clay, who wrote her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. George Mad dox a little of nine long type written pages, told of stops in Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken and Antermatt at the beginning of the trip saying they had par ticularly enjoyed Lucerne. We drove through the city looking for a place (to spend the night) but were never quite satisfied. Finally we saw a very small sign "Hotel Gutch" with an arrow pointing to a narrow dark road going up the moun tain. I had a hunch that it might prove interesting so we followed it and ended up at the place we had firstvseen. We couldn't find what looked like an en trance but finally found an un locked door and went in through several beautiful rooms with ornate furniture. A large dining room had a suit of armor against red velvet draperies and huge murals on the wall of the Will iam Tell era. "Finally . we found a small room where the manager, an English girl, laughed when We told her that we had about de cided we had broken into a pri vate home. She gave us a large room with doors' that opened onto a balcony with all Lucerne below us and the wonderful mountains all around us. I've never seen ' such a beautiful sight. The girl took us on a tour, saying this was the place where Queen Victoria used to stay There was an pld-fashioned lift that she used to take us up to the top of the tower. We went up the next day also and took some pictures. "She took us to the evening restaurant through a long tunnel under the hotel lighted by a few lanterns and with local scenes painted on the walls. The res taurant was the dark-beamed ceiling type with a fireplace they use " for cooking meat. I kept thinking how the two of you would enjoy the place." Visit Bern Mrs. Clay also wrote of Bern and Interlaken and later wrote "Antermatt was the last place we stayed before going over the St. Gothard pass. Its an ador able little village not far from the Matterhorn. We' went to sleep that night listening to the cow bells tinkling as they were being taken in from the fields and woke the next morning to HALF Tussy. Wind and Weather Lotion I Si I si' - I J.

CENTRAL sncw flakes. It was so pretty." "We drove through. Italy's lake country and stopped that night at Mil-ino. That evening we ate at Biffi's, a well-known restaurant hi the Galleria Vit torio Emanuele. This is a long arcade covered with an immense canopy of glass panels. Inside re the Dest restaurants and shops in town. Across the street from this on the square is Mi- lano s cathedral, third largest in the world. Only a couple of blocks from this is the La Scala Opera house which we went through, the next day. When I commented on the scores of 'La Traviata' 011 the music stands, the man taking us through said that later that afternoon there was a rehearsal and Maria Callas would be there singing Violetta. I wish I could have hidden some place and listened to the rehearsal. (.Mrs. Clay is herself a singer.) Lost in Genoa After leaving Milano we headed for Genova and the Ital ian Riviera.' In Genoa we got lost and had one of the traffic cops screaming at us, so we left as fast as we could. We spent the night at Prtofino where we had a delicious soup with egg in it." The Medford traveler told of motoring down the Italian coast and added "we stopped at Pisa and climbed all 294 steps of the leaning tower. She cdntinued "Our next stop was pure joy. We stayed for four nights in Tirrenia-, a little resort town on the coast near Livorno. Camp Darby is- located here and the otticer's club . is right on the beach." Mrs. Clay' described their stay in quarters reserved for visiting officers and of en joying the beach recreation. Their neighbors for the stay at the beach were the American consul to Genoa, his South Am erican wife and four daughters, and . a lieutenant-colonel, his wife and two . children from Stuttgart. The travelers, then went to Rome and Mrs. Clay wrote "The first night we stayed in the old part of the city near Porta Pinciana. This place was ter rifically expensive and not very clean, so the text day we moved to a small but clean hotel in Vatican City, just a block from Si. Peter's. We spent our time on a guided tour and then just wandered around by ourselves Rome is quite a place. Church Described "St. Peter's is the most gorge ous church . either of . us had ever seen. It's just indescribable its so beautiful, and immense. Of course-, you're not allowed to take pictures inside, but we took plenty in the square..

In "Pagliacci" some of the audience evidently didn't l'"ke the man playing the part of Canio so they booed and hissed him. A. L. and I just stared at each other and were so shocked. There are beautiful fountains all over Rome and I could have pent hours in front of the Trevi fountain. This is the one where you throw your coins. We left Rome late on the afternoon of our third day. Scotty was filthy from playing in the dust of the coliseum. Some day when he's older, and studying history, he can tell his teacher he spent an hour playing in the coliseum one time. "The next two nights we spent n little villages on the road north. Everything seemed so in expensive after , our stay in Rome. The countryside was covered with olive trees and vineyards. We stopped for a short time in Florence and had our best din ner in Italy at Vologna. I looked in the guide book and asked for the specialties of that particular city and they brought us some delicious food. Venice Indescribable 'By this time we were getting closer to Venice. Venice is only about fifteen miles from Padua, and the road from Padua to Ve nice runs along the side of a small canal and many country villas. We left our car in a park in? lot at the Piazzale Roma and started walking over bridges Venice is the most incredible place. Its all small islands two and a half miles off the main land and a mile and a quarter from the open sea. The islands are divided by 160 canals and connected by bridges. Can you imagine a big city with no cars or bicycles or anything of that type. Deliveryman, policemen, even funeraU parlors all use gondolas." Mrs. Clay also described a night spent in the Dolomites, the "Italian Tyrol" when the travel ers used the sleeping bags they had brought along for emergency use. They were awakened at five in the morning by a group of' workers carrying , rakes and shovels and the group seemed to be distrubed by the presence of the American family. She wrote "Finally they left and we jumped up and were ready to go in five minutes." They motored into' Austria and Mrs. Clay wrote of having lunch at Innsbruck.
