I m Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (Register and TribuM SyndlcM, ".Mil Too Smart Monkey Found Tha 'Punch Lin Unfunny Just because a small, seem' ingly intelligent monkey can not figure out how a series of innocent looking wires can de liver such a spine-shattering wallno doesn't indicate dumb ness on his part. There are a great many humans that have never un derstood the principle of electricity either, and - it would seem to be much more pertinent to people than to monkeys. In most ways this small monkey was head and should ers above the jungle-run of monkeys; he could figure out problems that would baffle most animals of his own kind. There was. the instance when his owner discovered the little guy with his hands through the wire screen of his cage, fumbling with the lock that secured the cage. door. The monkey had a short piece of wire and was obviously trying to pick the lock. Too Smart As monkeys come, this lit tle guy was really too smart for his own good; his adven tures into areas where mon keys shouldn't tread got him into all kinds of trouble. He caused his owner to wonder exactly what went on in that little, round, tennis ball sized head. '; - . The little fellow lived the first years of his life in a f FEEDS FAMIlY of 5 12 Pieces Chicken 1 I 1 Pt. Coleslaw I I Garlic Bread I ; w South American jungle. Dur ing that time he learned things a captive-born animal could never know. He learned how to live by his own re sources. He must have been a source of Inspiration to the other monkeys. In his little, green jungle home he must have been a monkey intelligentsia. This background of learning serv ed him well when he was cap tured and brought to the U. S. to become a household pet. Smart Operator His present owner, more or less familiar with monkey tricks, realized that this little guy was a pretty smart op erator. This monkey often assumed a knowing expres sion, and a worldly wisdom, that Indicated he had done a little serious thinking. The monkey's owner often told his friends that he was amazed at the aptitude the animal displayed when faced with a problem, and how usually, he worked it out, and to his own benefit. Then, one day the monkey's cleverness almost proved his undoing as it came near cost ing him his life and brought him face to face with some thing he couldn't understand. He figured out how to release the latch on his cage. ' ' The door swung open, he was free. He dashed across the yard and climbed a tree. Once again he was in his natural element. He leaped ' from branch to branch in ' wild abandon; this was living. Hurled Insults For a brief spell the bark ing dog, under the tree he was in, bothered him. He soon realized the dog couldn't get up where he was, so he pro ceeded to hurl monkey insults at the animal. To show his disgust he leaped away into the upper branches and ob served ahead of him a tall pole that supported three elec tric wires. This looked like fun. He raced for the pole, Jumped from the tree and landed on the tip end of the pole. He decided to run along the top wire. A few steps out from the pole he lost his balance. Hold ing onto the top wire, his body touched the wire below. The electric current, fortun ately only a leakage, ran through him." He fell to' the ground in an undignified heap. ,. He rubbed his stomach and shook his head in amazed un belief. He looked up at the innocent looking wires. He would never be able to un derstand why things that looked so harmless could hand out such a stomach-scorching wallop. HERO SANDWICHES - Little Leaguers are eager eaters. We make Hero sandwiches for our heroes of the sandlot and for the rooting section, too. Hot and satisfying chili con carne is spooned over cool slices of tomatoes resting on individual loaves of Italian bread - topped with crisp green pepper sliced.

Playing to the grandstands and bat tling the ump take a lot out of a fellow whose legs are hol low to begin with. After the slide for home plate, comes the dash for the plate at home. Appetites are even more tremendous. Our young athletes need sturdy fare. They're building bones, teeth, blood, muscles, sinew; need quantity as well as properly balanced variety of foods. The game takes a lot out of the rooting section too, to say nothing of the parents! ; Sandwiches of heroic pro- Dortions and quantities of milk are appropriate offerings for the big leaguers of the future and for their scream ing cohorts.

"For nine individual sand wiches, heat two 15V4-ounce cans chili without beans. Cut four or five medium size to matoes into slices.. Cut stem end off green peppers and re move seeds and membrane; cut slives or rings. Split Mine small loaves of Italian bread (it comes in bags) lengthwise and toast lightly, if desired. Place tomato, slices on bot toms of buttered or mayon naised roll. Spoon over the heated chili and top with slices of green pepper. Cover with tops of bread loaves. Pickles on the side. Pina Heroes Young western athletes think highly of pizza sauce; like famed Mozzarella cheese in combination with satisfy ing ground beef. All go into individual loaves of Italian bread. Figure on two pounds freshly ground beef, nine slices Mozzarella for nine gen erous loaves for satisfying nine ravenous appetites. Preheat broiler. Mix two pounds ground beef with one half cup pizza sauce from a 10V4-ounce can, together with one-half cup minced onion, 1 V4 teaspoons salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper. Split bread loaves lengthwise. Spread bot ton half of each loaf with sea soned meat mixture, being sure to cover bread complete ly. Place meat-covered bread halves on broiler pan about five inches from heat. Broil six to eight minutes. Remove from heat. Place slice of Mozzarella cheese on top of each meat half;- return to broiler and heat until cheese melts. At same time, put top of indivi dual loaves in broiler to toast lightly. Spread each toasted top half with remaining can ned pizza sauce. Personally, we use two cans of pizza sauce though the average taste may prefer only one. Put on top of cheese-topped meat half for a hearty "hero", Frentied Hot Dogs Hot dogs are to the base ball, bowling and basketball crowd as popcorn is to circus goers. Hot dogs with a relish are highly favored by hard hitting, hard-running sports enthusiasts. Grill franks and toast buns; pile them high. Offer an as sortment of pickle relish, sauerkraut, ketchup, pickles, mustard relish. And remem ber the mayonnaise. Then, it's every man for himself. Tuna Tempters Tuna is among top favorites for the making of hero sand wiches for huge appetites. So play it big. We use the long loaf Of French or Italian bread here but you can use the packaged individual loaves if you like. Cut loaf of French or Ital ian bread in half lengthwise. Spread bottom layer with tuna mlxtOre combined two cans (6V4 or 7 ounce) tuna, one-half cup minced celery, one tablespoon minced onion, one teaspoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper, one-half cup mayonnaise, two teaspoons lemon juice.

Thailanders (Siamese) Like Mild Chicken Curry Thailand . (Siam) a King dom, covers an area of about 200,000 square miles, about three-fourths the size of Tex- It has a population esti mated at close to 23 million of which 80 per cent are na tives. Religious census indi cates that 95 per cent are Buddhist. About 90 per cent of the population work at agriculture. Rice Is the prin cipal crop, the staple food and the leading export. Other ma jor crops include coconuts, corn, sesame, sugar cane and soybeans. This chicken specialty of Thailanders is made with fresh coconut which is readily available in our markets and many readers will want to use It. However, you may use a package of coconut flakes if you wish. Six serving. 2V4 pounds chicken 1 whole fresh coconut or package coconut flakes 6 cups water 4 potatoes, pared 1 tablespoon curry powder 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate (Ac'cent) Cut chicken into serving pieces. Break open the coco nut with a cleaver; remove meat from rind; grate or grind meat into a kettle (or use package of coconut flakes). Pour two cups water over coconut flakes; mash and squeeze. Drain off "cream" and save. Add two more cups of water, mash and squeeze flakes again, saving "cream." Repeat twice more using just one cup of water each time. This makes six cups of coco nut "cream". Discard flakes. Add chicken pieces and cut up potatoes to coconut cream in the kettle. Simmer, uncov ered, stirring gently, until co conut cream is reduced to about four cups (about one hour). Remove kettle from heat. Combine in saucepan, three tablespoons of liquid from the kettle with curry powder; stir and heat slowly. When the aroma "bursts out," stir into chicken mixture. Add salt, sugar and Ac'cent. Continue to cook gently about 10 minutes. Serve with snowy steamed rice. Dennis the Menace I 111 1 i. n - t. j i 4 1 1 ini I 7 . - - - l--s I 'Some of this furniture is AIolv.
