ROWENA RIDES THE RUMBLE BY ETHEL HUESTON Fifth Installment Raekruf Motors hire Rowena to accompany Peter on a nation-wide tour in their roadster as an advertising stunt. At the last minute Little Bobby is engaged to act as chaperon. A few miles out Bobby becomes tearful at being parted from her sweetheart and Rowena insists on taking her place in the rumble so that she can ride with Peter and have him to talk to about Carter. Rowena gets Peter to consent to divide the expense money each week as soon as it arrives, and astonishes Peter by eating too economically. The three tourists reach Denver, after passing through Buffalo, Chicago and St. Louis. Peter and Rowena have many lifts on the way while Carter keeps wiring Bobby to return to New York. The morning after they reach Denver, Peter and Rowena discover Bobby has deserted them and returned to New York by train. They are faced with the impossible condition of continuing their trip without a chaperon. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Well, you're not chained there, are you? There's nothing to keep you from getting out, is there? I'm in bed, too, but I'm not going to let a mere being in bed interfere with my professional future, am I? I'll meet you down-stairs in ten minutes." And she hung up the receiver. Now on the whole, no one could have been more practical about things connected solely with business than Rowena. Her clothes were smart, for all their increasing shabbiness, but they were extremely tailored and trim. Her very manners were crisp and business-like. But something—she didn't know just what—prompted her to discard her chic sports costume that night. She and worried about money. Ever and ever so many quite nice people are terribly anxious to be married to me. I dare say as a married couple we shall get along better than mose. And we will be careful to get rooms on separate floors of the hotel and make the clerks give us a receipt making a note of it, so we can use it for evidence that we have never—uh—never been—anything but just—well, married, you know." "That's enough, if you ask me," said Peter in a troubled voice. "I'm terribly hungry," said Rowena. "Let's go down to that cunning little place the clerk told us about to have a sandwich or something. And you think it over. I had to think up some way out of it. Peter. We just couldn't chuck it not here—not right at the very front door of the Rocky mountains. I So they took a taxicab and went down couldn't bear it." To the nice little place and Rowena didn't say a word about business, or money, or professions. She talked softly of lovely, lovable things, and smiled, and the beads shone in the blue of her eyes, until Peter declared it was a very good idea of hers and they would get it done first thing next morning. After breakfast the next morning Peter insisted upon using a small portion of their dwindling expense money "Yes," said Peter and Rowena timed chorus. The clerk frowned over chart. "I'm afraid we're said slowly. Not a thing." Peter leaned over the mild face looked quite grate. "You said you had two roos in a low voice. "We did then," said the clerk. "But just now"—he shook "I'm afraid not." The telephone girl sniffed and one of the men rushed his paper. Rowena caught a sharp breath, cowly, but Peter suddenly showed efficient. "Oh, yes, you have," he rooms, and we'll take it got a marriage certificate what's eating you!" "Yeah?" Rowena, get the certificate. Rowena hurriedly took side pocket of her bag. It slowly and handed it to her in the slouchy clothes she over and nodded churlishly. "Denver, eh?" Inquired "Today, eh?" Yes," said Peter. Some other people drove us." Rowena hastened "And they were unexpec- to buy a plain wedding ring. They had no trouble procuring the license, hurried directly to the office of the nearest justice and by twelve o'clock they were married. Back in the hotel they turned abruptly away from each other as soon as they had their keys from the desk and went up to their rooms by separate elevators. And at one o'clock they were drawing out of Denver headed north, both a little hushed, a little excited and more than a little nervous. It was very late that night when they reached Cheyenne. The last twenty miles Peter drove slowly, creeping along as one who dreaded the ultimate arrival and when no amount of slowing down could postpone the inevitable he was plainly on edge. It's going to be awkward as the devil," he said moodily. Not at all," said Rowena. "Just go right in and ask for two rooms on separate floors." "You'd better come with me. It will look odd for me to go in alone and then come back for you. Rowena got out. 'J-just be off-hand about it, Peter. Be casual.'" "Yeah," he growled. "They're going to think it's very fishy." Obviously, they did think so. Peter strolled up to the desk with a conspicuous assumption of nonchalance, Rowena tagging nervously at his heels. "Got a couple of rooms?" he asked the clerk. "Yes, sir," said the clerk briskly. "On—er separate floors, I suppose," said Peter hopefully. "No—connecting," said the clerk. "Er—well——" began Peter, weakening. back to New York—and so on—Peter and I—just got it. "We've got a very nice second floor," suggested the clerk. "All right," said Peter ginger. "No," cried Rowena, fail. The clerk grinned, not tically. "All right, all right." Don't be nervous, lady. We on the top floor—Congrau Blande. She's certainly a bit get over that nervousness." Peter muttered unspeak deep down in his throat, came in and took their bows them to separate room floors. A loud gust of laughed up the elevator shaft in the doorway of the room her Rowena turned and left appealing hand. "G-good night, Peter," she continued Next Week Avocado Director Takes Up Hubert C. Ferry is assume duties this week as direct triet 4 of the Calavo Grow formia, following his election in Fullerton by avocado northern and western Orlando. There are about 400 acadies in this district where Anaheim, Buena Park, B Linda, Placentia, Fullert Grove, Westminster, Hunting Stanton, Cypress and vice Habra, although in Orange not in this district. The new director is the... "Absolutely." "Then Peter, how about this?" Another deep breath—another premonitory quiver of cold flesh inticipating an ley plunge. "You know, marriage isn't the sweetly sacred thing it used to be. It's only a sort of adventure these days, a matter of expediency, or convenience, or emotional experiment. And beides, business is far more important. Don't you think so?" "I hadn't really thought of it in just that way," said Peter vaguely. "Well, you think of it and you'll see I'm right. And as long as we're not in love with anybody else or anything, and nobody cares one way or the other—well, why don't we—why can't we—don't you see what I mean? Why not just go ahead with the trip the way we are, and do the work, and get the money and everything—and just get married? That's all." Peter hadn't remotely suspected what she had in mind until she brought the word out, struck him full in the face with it, as it were. And it pulled him up short, shocked and resentful, like a struck man. "Why, Rowena, that's—that's very nice of you—I suppose. But I really never thought about—being married to you." "Well," she interrupted tartly, "if it comes to that I can't think of anything in the world I'd like less than being married to you, either." But she realized at once she was off on the wrong track and quickly changed her method. "Of course, darling," she added kindly, "I know we don't get along very well together, and that we're anything but in love. But it isn't a real marriage I have in mind. Just to cover the proprieties and let us finish up the trip—and And just think how much more money we can save, not always having to buy manicures and souvenirs for Bobby!—I know a judge in New York and he'll annul us as soon as we get back. No harm done." "Maybe he won't do it." "Oh, yes, he will. He wants to marry me himself. He'll annul us like a shot out of a gun." "But, Rowena—" he began wretchedly. "And, Peter, dear Peter," said Rowena moving prettily in the transparent velvet scarf, "I'm really a terribly nice sort when I'm not working hard about it, Peter. Be casual." "Yeh," he growled. "They're going to think it's very fleshy." Obviously, they did think so. Peter strolled up to the desk with a conspicuous assumption of nonchalance, Rowena tagging nervously at his heels. "Got a couple of rooms?" he asked the clerk. "Yes, sir," said the clerk briskly. "On—er separate floors, I suppose," said Peter hopefully. "No—connecting," said the clerk. "Er—well——" began Peter, weakening. But Rowena nudged him. "We'd rather have them—er—on different floors, if you don't mind," he stammered and his face grew red. The clerk looked up at them strangely. The telephone girl came around her desk in the corner and lounged within good hearing distance. A large man in slouchy clothes sauntered over from the cigar stand. Two men sitting near dropped their papers in their laps and one began to rub up his glasses. "Separate floors?" repeated the clerk. "Y-yes, please," shilmed Rowena helpfully. "So—so we won't wake each other up mornings. We—sleep late." "Um, I see," said the clerk. "Traveling together?" "Yes," said Peter firmly. "My wife and I are taking a motor trip up to Yellowstone." The clerk swung the register toward him and handed him the pen. "Will you register?" "Peter Blande," wrote Peter firmly. "Your—wife, too, please," said the clerk. Peter hesitated. "Mrs.—Peter—" he wrote slowly. Rowena leaned over. "I'd rather use my own name, Peter," she said. "For—for professional reasons." Peter crossed out what he had written and wrote "Miss." Then he scratched that out and wrote "Rowena Rosand." But it did not look just right to him so he carefully inserted "Mrs." over the scratchedout "Miss." The clerk studied the name, the telephone girl looking over his shoulder as he did so. The large man in the slouchy clothes studied Peter. "New York, eh?" said the clerk. "Yes," said Peter. "Yes, indeed," chimed Rowena. "Motor out together?" "Yes," said Peter and Rowena in well-limed chorus. The clerk frowned over the room chart. "I'm afraid we're full up," he said slowly. "Not a thing left." Peter leaned over the desk and his child face looked quite grim and ugly. You said you had two rooms," he said in a low voice. "We did then," said the clerk evenly. But just now—he shook his head—I'm afraid not." The telephone girl snickered a little and one of the men sitting near by rustled his paper. Rowena flushed and caught a sharp breath, cowering slightly, but Peter suddenly showed surly and efficient. "Oh, yes, you have," he said. "Two rooms, and we'll take them. We've got a marriage certificate, if that's what's eating you!" "Yeah?" Rowena, get the certificate! Rowena hurriedly took it out of the de pocket of her bag. The clerk read slowly and handed it to the large man the slouchy clothes who looked it over and nodded churlishly. "Denver, ch?" inquired the clerk. Today, ch? "Yes," said Peter. "Some other people drove out with us." Rowena hastened to explain. And they were unexpectedly called Lamb Stew Is An Old Standby But Now It Is Rigged Up In Jellied Dress for Warm Days (Correspondence to The Gazette Washington, D.C.—A new dress for the old American standby, lamb stew, and a jellied dress at that, is a hot weather prescription the Bureau of Home Economics, U.S. Department of Agriculture, offers to all homemakers anxious for an inexpensive dish that is easy to prepare in hot weather. Jellied lamb and jellied beef stew may sound a little radical to some persons, but if soup can be jellied, why not stew? the bureau asks. The new dishes combine economy, nutrition, and time saving, with the fact that they are more appropriate for July days than hot stews. When Budget is Limited The taste for an attractive galantine or jellied salad is not necessarily coincident with plenty of money for the food budget. If it were, it would be simple to satisfy the longing, for the markets of the world are at one's disposal with all sorts of attractive offerings. When the budget is limited, the task becomes much more difficult, since the least expensive and satisfying dishes are usually hot concoctions, like stews and thick soups. In keeping with the food guide outlined for families with limited incomes, the bureau recently developed a series of six attractive one-dish meals that can be jellied. The ingredients are all inexpensive and the dishes are easy to prepare. Eggs, fish, rice, spaghetti, vegetables, and stewing meat are used in quantities sufficient to serve five persons very generously, so little additional food need be served. The salads are an excellent medium for utilizing left over vegetables. GAME Driving over Austerlitz mountain, one of the Taconic range which separates New York from Massachusetts, I flushed seven pheasants in as many miles. One georgeous, long-tailed cock pheasant rocketed out of the brush amack into my windshield and fell to the road with a broken neck. He deserved a better fate. The breeding of pheasants is being encouraged by the states of the Northeast. Some of state authorities supply pheasant eggs free to those who will hatch them under barnyard heens. New York is paying 4-H Club boys and girls $1 each for mature pheasants so hatched. They are liberated in the state forest preserve, to be shot by hunters in the proper season. In Virginia and some other parts of the South the native American partridge is sometimes called a pheasant. There is no native pheasant. These game birds are imports from China and eastern Asia. They have been bred in Europe for sport for centuries. American hunters have pretty well cleaned out our native game birds, but it is expected the imported pheasant will increase and multiply under careful conservation, so that there will still be something for the next generation of sportsmen to shoot. BONUSES Bethelhem Steel Company, in response to the protests of some stockholders who thought the men who run the business were getting too much money for their work, has increased salaries and reduced the percentage of In keeping with the food guide outlined for families with limited incomes, the bureau recently developed a series of six attractive one-dish meals that can be jellied. The ingredients are all inexpensive and the dishes are easy to prepare. Eggs, fish, rice, spaghetti, vegetables, and stewing meat are used in quantities sufficient to serve five persons very generously, so little additional food need be served. The salads are an excellent medium for utilizing left over vegetables. Fish for Salad Fish, other than halibut, may be used in the fish salad. Halibut was chosen because it is usually available throughout the country. Small whole fish may be substituted for the steak variety, but small fish must be thoroughly boned after cooking, usually a rather tedious task. Canned fish may also serve as a basis for a salad, but the canned form requires a little different treatment from fresh fish. It should be drained, laked and boned and added to the salad as any other ingredient. The gelatin should have an acid base as in the fresh fish salad. The low cost of these delicious jellied dishes is one of their most attractive features; they range from only 30 cents to 61 cents for five generous servings. The only additional expense necessary to make up the meal for the dinner menu suggested is lettuce or finely shredded cabbage, a tart salad dressing, bread and butter and ice cream. The bureau suggests that the ice be removed from the cocoa for very young children, who, as a special treat, are drinking cocoa, which is usually denied them. Rice Adds Food Value Since potatoes are not especially palatable in jellied form they were excluded. The lamb dish has cooked rice in it, however, which not only adds to the food value but is most attractive suspended in the gelation. Cood spaghetti was used successfully in two of the combinations, one made with vegetables and the other with canned consomme. Any canned meat broth can be used as a foundation for a jellied dish, a fact that is well to remember for unexpected into jellied combinations providing it is not watery like squash. With spinach, be careful not to overlook it; it should be comparatively firm and not mushy. Allow spinach to cool and then chop it. Used this way spinach makes a colorful as well as nutritious addition to the salad. Raw cabbage gives crispness and moderates the extreme smoothness which many persons find objectionable in jellied dishes. Prepare Day Before It is best to prepare these jellied dishes the day before—or early in the morning, if they are to be served at the evening meal. A plain gelatin will set much faster than any of these, which are chock-full of meat, vegetables or fish. If they are put away to set Hubert C. Ferry is assuming his new duties this week as director for District 4 of the Calavo Growers of California, following his election last week. Fullerton by avocado growers of northern and western Orange county. There are about 400 acres of avocados in this district which includes Anaheim, Buena Park, Brea, Yorba Linda, Placentia, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Westminster, Huntington Beach, Anton, Cypress and vicinities. La Habra, although in Orange county, is not in this district. The new director is the representative of the Bastanchury ranch of Fulleton and of the Union Oil Company. He was elected to succeed former director Raymond A. Easton. It is said that the prohibition department will seek to get college graduates or enforcement officers. Well, it would probably make the average bootleger elk a little better to be arrested by an officer with a Harvard diploma. Have you noticed that with the general decline in the cost of living, nothing has been done yet in the way of flatting taxes? Prepare Day Before It is best to prepare these jellied dishes the day before—or early in the morning, if they are to be served at the evening meal. A plain gelatin will set much faster than any of these, which are chock-full of meat, vegetables or fish. If they are put away to set in a dish with straight sides, the salad will slip out of the mold easily. Be sure to turn them out on a dish that has been rinsed in cold water and not dried. In case the salad does not come out exactly in the center of the plate, it is easy to slide it into place on the wet surface of the dish. With the various ingredients, all sorts of interesting patterns can be made in the mold, but this takes time which you may not wish to spend on any one meal. If you do decide to take time for decorative effects, the gelatin must be partly set before you lay out the pattern, and then only one layer can be added at a time, allowing each to set a trifle before beginning on the next. Recipes Are Free Each of these jellied combinations was considered from the standpoint of making an attractive dish as well as for its nutritive value. Children old enough to have solid food may eat any one of the salads, the bureau says. Recipes for all of these jellied dishes may be had free of charge by sending your request to the Bureau of Home Economics, Washington, D.C. Residents of the prairie provinces of Canada appreciate the value of trees for windbreaks, shade and wood. According to the Canadian Forest Service, 6,000,000 tree seedlings and cuttings were shipped to this region for planting last year. In the last 30 years more than 116,000,000 trees have been sent by the service to more than 100,000 applicants. Millions more have been bought from private nurseries. One tree will make a million matches, but a lighted match can destroy a million trees. Restless CHILDREN CHILDREN will fret, often for no apparent reason. But there's always Castorial As harmless as the recipe on the wrapper; mild and bland as it tastes. But its gentle action soothes a youngster more surely than a more powerful medicine. That's the beauty of this special children's remedy! It may be given the tiniest infant—as often as there is need. In cases of colic, diarrhea or similar disturbance, it is invaluable. A coated tongue calls for just a few drops to ward off constipation; so does any suggestion of bad breath. Whenever children don't eat well, don't rest well, or have any little upset—this pure vegetable preparation is usually all that's needed. At that time more than four-fifths of the people of the United States were engaged in farming. To put it in another way, it took the labor of four families on the farm to feed live families, including themselves. The direct result of McCormick's invention was to increase agricultural production, and reduce the number of farmers. Today fewer than a quarter of our people are farmers. One family on the farm feeds three other families who produce no food. And anyone who knows farming will agree that even fewer farmers could feed the whole nation. McCormick became a millionaire, one of the few such in his time. His descendants still control the International Harvester Company. They are industrialists, and the United States has become an industrial nation, largely because of Cyrus McCormick. POPULATION The population of the United States is not increasing at as rapid a rate as formerly. We have about 125,000,000 people now, and President Hoover recently said that the expectation is for an increase of 20,000,000 in 20 years. That would give us 145,000,000 in 1951. The importance of those figures lies in the fact that some long-time industrial and railroad operations have been based on the expectation that population would keep on growing at the rate which it did in the 1890's and early 1900's, when immigration was unrestricted. Pressure for the lowering of immigration bars comes mainly from those interests. Farm production in the United States today is sufficient to feed 140,000,000. Farmers must find a foreign market for food sufficient for 15,000,000 people, therefore, or suffer from low prices. The alternative is to reduce the acreage under cultivation for the staple crops. That is what the Federal Farm Board is preaching, and it is bound to come. LOOK for the name Bayer and the word genuine on the package as pictured above when you buy Aspirin.
