Thus muddy street in England cieated the legendary deed of courtesy Walter KaleiKh spreading his clonk before the dainty feet of Queen Eltrabcth. Walt acted quickly and coolly to meet this emer gency but lost his head later in another one. From the Cri mean war came Florence Night incale and the development of ! modern n u r s - tng.

The captain of the Kyma was quoted by Burke as saying he would put the men ashore at Alexandria. ; Egypt, turning them over to Greek authorities. Burke said the crew ! men argued that they would he sent to Greece in a prison ship and i forced to join the army.

Fire Razes Two Buildings BLAINE, Feb. 18 MV-This border : city's first major fire since before , the war blazed on the main thor ; oughfare Tuesday morning, razing ' two of its best-known business es , tablishments. Fire Chief Alfred Kruse estimated loss of Larson's cafe and the Rainbow tavern at (50.000. They are ' located on Peace Portal drive, which I is on the Pacific highway In down- town Blaine, not far from the ln j ternational boundary. The fire had too good a start when discovered at 4:55 a.m. to be put out by the volunteer firemen, but it was confined to the two stores. It ap parently started in the basement of the cafe. Kruse was overcome by smoke but there were no serious casualties. Production Up In England SPOKANE, Feb. 18 yP Britain's national production Is up 20 to 30 per cent over pre-war levels, but must go higher yet for security, Ed ward A. A. Shackleton. member of parliament, said Tuesday. As an example of a step on the road to recovery Shackleton said coal production, one of the coun try's vital industries, had risen to the point where exports to Europe were under way. Shackleton, a former Royal Air force wing commander, is in Spo kane to fill a series of speaking en gagements. Office Building Purchase Eyed PORTLAND, Feb. 18 IPiA pro posal that the state board of control buy Portland's Lincoln high school for an office building met a cool reception today from school board members. Sig Unander, candidate for repub lican nomination for state treasurer, suggested that the city's only west side high school could be bought at a price which would save the state half the cost of a new office building. At the same time the school district would be able to proceed faster on plans for a new Lincoln high, he said. Ouy E. Jaques and 8. Eugene Allen of the school board said Lin coln Is at the "tall end" of a 10 year building program and the sale price wouldn't build a new structure. Facsimile Used In NYC Papers NEW YORK, Feb. 18 W Fac simile newspapers written and edited by the staff of the New York Times were received at 14 New York de partment stores. The Times said It? was the first postwar demonstration of a radio transmitted newspaper on a large scale. Blx editions were sent out at five minutes after each hour between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. over radio station WQXR-FM. Each edition contained four pages, 11 Inches long and eight Inches wide. Demonstrations will continue for four weeks. ot Arc for budget-bothered house wives. One-Woman Drive This lady Is Xl-year-old Mrs. Ruth Bcrbes, who last week launched i one-woman drive against present ! food prices by going on a "high cost of living fast." Her passive rebellion be (an after she was charged 26 cents for a quarter pound of butter. Mrs. Bcrbes immediately went on a diet consisting of five slices of biead a day and two glasses of milk. In the first few days she lost three pounds. She said other housewives were taking up the idea. tier program holds many inter esting possibilities. If it becomes popular American women will have to put even more padding In their clothing to retain the "new look." and that will probably cost more money than they saved by dieting Bachelors Benefit Stingy bachelors will benefit most. They will show up at their girls' houses with a loaf of bread and a bottle of milk and say: "Let's stay here and enloy a nice meal at home, honey. We'll fight this ol" inflation together." Personally I think Mrs. Berbes Is overlooking an even better way to reduce her grocery bills. She works at a drugstore soda fountain. I did this for two years during high school and found my worries about food costs were at in end. When I took the job I weighed an aiiemic 135 pounds and could hard ly muscle up a gallon Jug of choco late syrup. Technically we were supposed to pay for any delicacies we consumed. But with me the public always came first. From time to time I found it necessary to taste pioper for the customers. I also ngularly checked the marshmallow. the fudge sauce and the crushed pineapple. After two years the store man ager found that my wholehearted devotion to-the public welfare was costing him about one gallon of ice cream out of every five. So he moved me over to the tobacco coun ter But I had gained 25 pounds. I hadn't bought any meals for months and months, and had money in the bank to start college. It Just takes initiative to whip in flation. Truman Sure Of Peace WASHINGTON, Feb. 18 iP) President Truman said Tuesday he Is "an optimist" about prospects for eventual peace In the world.
