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

STAMPS IN MARGIN BLOCK
The envelope was addressed to
a Mr. Von Wenzel in Berlin. The
date of the cancellation was Oc
tober, 1933 I couldn't quite
make oft the day and the place
was Chicago, 111.
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.

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.

was disappointed that it wasn't

"The rear of the climber is

went on. "It was the first re

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."

"But it finally dawned on me
that there might be some col

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." .

New Cake
Mixes in
One Minute
A chocolate cake that can be
mixed in one minute has been
developed by a home economist
at Oregon State college.
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

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. Put layers to

vorite frosting.
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.

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

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.. ' ,

MEDFORD
I went to the opera. We iaw
lavaiieria Kusticana ana
Pagliacci." 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. "We told
