Strange thoughts occur In strange
places.
Walking down the street the
other day I came uuon a window
tilled with trailer hitches. Those
gimmicks that tit on the back end
ol a car to that you can pull a
trailer behind you.
After looking at them I was will
ing to admit that 1 knew nothing
about trailer hitches. Trailer
hitches fail to fill a niche In my
life. Trailer hitches were not a part
of the liberal arts education which
was plastered in a thin patina over
the frame those manv years ago.
Trailer hitches. In short, draw a
blank.
But If someone started telling
me a storv that Involved trailer
hitches, illustrating it graphically
with Ills hands ana saying . . . "you
know?" I'll bet I'd nod and agree
that, yep, I knew.
And I suppose there are count
less things in this life that fall
into that category. We are all a
little pront to agree that we know
all about a subject when actually
we can't even spell the word. And
eventually fee all wind ud in the
same spot as the man who insisted
for years he liked truffles until be
tried to eat one.
Maybe the world would be
better place to live If there were a
lot more integral honestv involved
in the minor situations of life. I m
sure there would be considerably
less misunderstanding about such
things as racial prejudice, class
distinction, the division between la
bor and white collar workers and
the triviata of modern living.
If we would all go for lust one
week pledged to admit that we
didn't know about something if we
didn't we'd sound prettv stunid to
both ourselves and other people.
But. on the other hand, we'd know
a hell of a lot more at the end
of the week; than we did on Mon
day. " The nrize remark of the week
undoubtedly goes to Sally Barn-
CAUGHT In

Just to keep the record straight,
the conundrum that was concocted
by young Phillip Cartwright was
incompletely reported here.
The thing you're after not only
has two legs and lies on the bot
tom of the lake but also, it can't
breathe.
' Now when you try It on some
body you can give them an ad
ditional clue. (Answer: A VERY
dead duck.)
And that brings us back again
to the Inspection tour for the Junior
Livestock Show. (It seems to take
longer to tell about it than it did
to do it. And be assured that the
doing was much more enjoyable
than the telling or the reading
thereof.)
Our last stop, sometime after
' 6:00 city time, was at the Charlie
Read place on the Crystal Springs
Road.
The family met us in the cool,
green yard, and as the little gal
started to lead the way to the barn
Mrs. Read said, dont you wish
you had "something with two legs"
for dinner?
Sure enough, seeing and smelling
Is believing. As one inspection went
on at the barn, another inspection
took place in the kitchen.
The aroma was unmistakable.
Those long browned breasts couldn't
have been chicken. They did
look like the domestic variety
though, so no questions were asked.
An apple picked ut from the
lawn temporarily staved off the
pangs set up by the experience,

"Skinny." This nickname Is likely
- to be attached to any youngster
who is considerably thinner than
most of his fellows. It' may even

Some grownups, too, are overly
thin one lady writes that she is
33 years oia, nas tnree cnuoren,

weighs 96 pounds. She says she

While it is better to be too thin
than too fat, it Is also not desir
able to weigh too much under nor

ple, however, can gain weight If
they want to and know how to go
aooui it.
Food is something like coal: the
food Is the fuel for the human
body. Unlike coal, however, If
more is taken in than is burned
up, it will be transformed and
stored as fat.
The answer to the question of
gaining weight, therefore, is to take
more food in than is used by the
burning-up activities of the body
In the form of exercise and other
bodily functions.
Thus, there are two ways to add
poundage. One Is to increase the
amount of fuel, or food, taken In
end the other Is to cut down on
the rate of burning it up. The first
is the more practical.
Foods can be chosen which have
a comparatively high calorie or fuel
content. Fats or carbohydrates sup-

Most recent news from the AEC

As a finale to this report of the

remark that:
Such a Jaunt should be a must

nobody asked me. Well, let things

more likelihood of putting on fat

Besides choosing the foods for
their weight and energy-producing
qualities, it is comparatively sim
ple Just to eat more. Th's can be
done by eating a mouthful or two
more at each meal than one is
accustomed to, or by adding in
between meals.
Foods of high calorie content in

and butter, cereals, butter or mar
garine, cream and the like. Whole
milk is also helpful.
When a person Is trying to eat
more fat producing foods, the oth

should not be left out. The diet
snould also be "balanced" some

and other substances which are not.

A small mid-morning meal, an
aitemoon or bed-time snack of
weigni-gaining foods, are all of
great help. A glass of half milk
and half cream is a good example
of what could be taken.
It cannot be emphasized too of

In the highest mountains are four-

These accumulate at the foot of al
pine cliffs. Here the coney gains
safe shelter, when the shadow of
an eagle's wing wirelesses to him
that overhead an enemy has
marked him for a feast.
During centuries of evolution the
coney acquired the habit of mak
ing hay just as much as do those
who make human haystacks. This
he cures and piles into little hay
ricks In talus crevices.
