    YOUR SUNDAY DINNER
(See Recipes Below)
ESPECIALLY FOR DAD
Sunday, June the fifteenth, is the
day you want to especially prepare
DAD’s favorite foods—for it’s Fa
ther's day—and don’t forget it. The
favorite of all men is a good tasty
meat pie—so the suggestion for the
main course is a delicious individual
meat pie. Dad doesn't like to bother
much with side dishes of salad, so
place his salad
right on the plate
with the rest of
the meal. He
likes a cole slaw
stuffed tomato.
Buttered carrots
and peas are the
vegetables. Because he is so fond
of blueberries, it’s blueberry muf
fins to go with the meal, and blue
berry ice cream cake for dessert.

anced for nutritional value. It sup

LYNN SAYS:
Dad's day might be the one
day when Dad would really like
to try his hand in the kitchen.
How about some feathery light
biscuits to go with dinner
They’re an easy trick if you just
put out the ingredients for Dad,
along with one of those big bowls
and a spoon. Now sift 2 cups of
flour, 2 teaspoons of baking pow
der, and Vi teaspoon of salt. Cut
in 4 tablespoons of shortening,
and then add about % of a cup of
milk gradually. Stir until a soft
I dough is formed, not too long,
though, or the biscuits will be
tough. Turn the dough on a
slightly floured board, pat to a
Mi-inch thickness, and cut with a
floured biscuit cutter. Pop thorn
into a hot oven (450 degrees) on
an ungreased baking sheet for 10
15 minutes. Dad will probably
like the large biscuits, so better
give him the large cutter. The
recipe will make about 12 bis
cuits of that size, or 16 of the
smaller ones. Can’t you just see
him beaming over a plate of hot,
flaky biscuits he made all by
himself?

Saved by a Chalk Mark
AMERICANS remember Thomas
Paine as the man who, with his
pamphlets, did as much as many a
general with his sword to win the
American Revolution. They re
member that his “Common Sense,"
published January 10, 1776, was an
unanswerable argument for the in
dependence of the rebellious English
colonies.
But they remember most of all the
immortal words with which he be
gan "The Crisis, No. 1":
“These are the times that try
men’s souls. The summer soldier
and the sunshine patriot will, in this
crisis, shrink from the service of his
country; but he that stands it now, |
deserves the love and thanks of
man and women. Tyranny, like hell,
is not easily conquered; yet we have
this consolation with us, that the
harder the conflict, the more glori
ous the triumph.”
What they do not remember, per
haps, is that Paine’s service to the
cause of human liberty did not end
THOMAS PAINE
with the successful conclusion of the
American Revolution. Although the
fight for freedom had been won on
this continent when Cornwallis sur
rendered at Yorktown, it was still
being waged in other parts of the
world. So Paine went back to his
native land, England.
One hundred and fifty years ago
this year, he published the "Rights
of Man" in reply to Burke’s "Reflec
tions on the French Revolution."
For this he was outlawed by the
court of the king’s bench, so he went
to France where the Revolution had
overthrown the Bourbons and where
he was hailed as a hero.
In fact, he was elected to the
National convention but his repub
licanism was not strong enough to
please the Jacobins. So when he
opposed the execution of King Louis
XVI and urged instead that the
monarch be exiled to America, the
Jacobins expelled him from the con
vention.
When Robespierre came into
power Paine was thrown into prison
where he was kept for a year in
constant fear of death. Listed
among those who were to mount the
steps of the guillotine, he escaped
by that fate by a strange freak of
chance.
One morning the keeper of the
prison went along the corridor plac
ing chalk marks on the doors of
those who were to be executed that
day. It so happened that the door
to Paine’s cell was open and pushed
back flat against the wall of the
corridor. In the darkness of the
gloomy old prison the keeper failed
to notice this and put his chalk
mark on the inside of Paine’s door.
Thus when the door was finally
closed the guards passed it by when
they came to lead the other prison
ers to their doom.
Paine was finally released through
the efforts of James Monroe, United
States minister to France, and re
sumed his seat in the convention.
He lived to see the revolutionary
cause betrayed by Napoleon Bona
parte, who had once visited him and
flattered him by saying "A statue
of gold ought to be erected to you In
every city of the universe.”
Paine returned to the United States
In 1802 and settled down on a farm
in New York state which had been
given him in recognition of his serv
ices to the Revolution. Later he
moved to New York and died there
in 1809.
He was first buried on his farm
at New Rochelle but a few years
later William Cobbett, the English
radical, removed his bones to Eng
land with the hope of increasing en
thusiasm for the republican ideas
of which Paine had been the prin
cipal exponent.
Cobbett placed the coffin in the
attic of his home at Normandy
Farm in Surrey. After his death
in 1835, the coffin disappeared and
no one knows what became of it
• • •
Meanwhile the Thomas Paine
National Historical association had
been formed in America and Mon
cure D. Conway, its first president
began a search for Paine’s remains.
In 1900 he obtained in London a
small portion of Paine's brain. Wil
liam M. Van Der Weyde, the next
president, next took up the search
and secured several locks of Paine’s
hauv But what became of the re
mainder of what was once Thomas
Paine is still a mystery, although it
is believed that he was secretly
buried in England in the seventies
Planned Revenge
By JAMES FREEMAN
(Associated Newspapers—WNU Service.)
DALE WIGGIN had hated
Warren Marfleld for two
years. And men who hate,
when that hate cannot be
revealed by word or action, are usu
ally given to brooding. And brood
ing, in turn, most always results in
a poisoned mind, an evil disposition.
Of course it had started over a
girl. Warren had won out fair and
honorably. That was what made
matters worse. If Warren had only
resorted to some trickery, then there
would have been an excuse. It was
the fact that there had been no ex
cuse whatever that had whetted the
growing anger and humiliation and
feeling of having been wTonged in
Wiggin’s soul.
For two years the thing had tor
mented him. And now the end was
at hand. Now Warren would pay.
Now revenge would be satisfied.
It had taken a lot of planning, a
lot of study and careful considera
tion of the time element; the pur
chase of a pistol, and a silencer to
dull the report; knowledge of the
habits of one Rennie, a janitor.
But now the time had come. In
ten minutes Warren Marfleld would
be dead; vengeance would have its
day.
Wiggin glanced at his watch. It
was 5:10 in the afternoon. The day
was Friday. And on Fridays War
ren Marfleld always returned to his
office at 5:20, after having gulped
down a cup of coffee and a sand
wich. He would remain at the of
fice until seven o’clock, at which
time he would go home and have a
late dinner, a dinner prepared by the
girl whom Dale Wiggin had wooed
and lost.
Always after five o’clock on any
day in the week the building in
which Warren Marfleld had his real
estate office was empty; empty save
He lifted the limp form of his one
time friend, dragged it across the
hall.
for Rennie, the janitor. And Wig
gin had figured Rennie in the play.
Wiggin was startled from his rev
erie by the whirl of the elevator. He
stdod close to the door of his own
office, which was almost directly
across the hall from that of Mar
fleld’s, and listened. He heard foot
steps; a familiar tread. It was Mar
fleld all right.
He waited until the footsteps had
passed his own office, had paused
before the office opposite. Then
Wiggin opened his own door, took
quick aim at the man standing back
to and fired.
The thing was done. There had
been no report; merely the dull click
of the silencer.
Wiggin moved with precision.
Stepping quickly into the hall he
lifted the limp form of his one-time
friend, dragged it across the hall
and laid it partly in and partly out
of his own office door. Then he re
turned to the hall, jerked off the si
lencer apparatus, pointed the pistol
upward and discharged it through
the open skylight above.
An instant later he was back in
his office, had disappeared into the
tiny store room, was wrapping the
pistol and silencer in old cloth
placed there for the purpose.
He returned to the outer office,
crossed to the door and stood over
the body lying there, his visage sud
denly filled with well-acted horror
and alarm.
And at that exact moment Ren
nie, the janitor, rounded a corner
in the corridor and stopped, star
ing at the dead man.
Inwardly Wiggin smiled. Just as
he had planned. Exact timing. The
dull stupidity of the man at sight of
Marfleld lying there.
... A police inspector and two
uniformed officers answered Wig
gin’s frantic summons. They looked
over the corpse, viewed the scene
of the crime, and listened to Wig
gin's story and later that of Rennie.
A medical examiner was sum
moned. Rennie was led into an ad
joining office for questioning. Wig
gin was asked by the police inspec
tor in an apologetic tone to wait un
til certain details had been attended
to.
Wiggin agreed readily enough. He
felt smugly triumphant. What dumb
idiots these cops were. Give ’em a
little puzzle to solve, and they were
licked. Poor Rennie! Tough on him.
Well, if they blamed the old fool for
the shooting, it was due only to his
own dumbness.
The police inspector returned to
Wiggin's office. There was a cer
tain grimness about his mouth.
“Would you mind repeating what
you’ve already told us, Mr. Wig
gin?”
Wiggin wouldn’t mind a bit He
had rehearsed the story enough
times to insure safety in repeated
tellings.
“I was finishing up a few odds and
ends . . . was about ready to leave i
. , . heard the elevator . . . heard
footsteps . . . wasn’t sure that it
was Marfleld , . . about to put on
my coat . . , door across the hall
was flung violently open. I heard a
shout, followed by a shot and then
a dull thud, as if some heavy body
had crashed against my door ... I
crossed quickly and opened it and
Marfleld's dead body toppled in
side. He was leaning against it. And
then I looked up and saw Rennie
standing at the corner.”
“It is your belief that Marfleld
was attacked in his office, probably
threatened. He tried to get away.
He rushed across to you for help,
and just as he reached the door,
whoever it was attacked him, ar
rived at the door across the hall,
and shot Marfleld?”
Wiggin nodded.
"That’s the way I figured it. Yes,
it must have happened that way. A
bullet entered through the back of
his head. That shows that whoever
it was shot him was probably stand
ing in the doorway to Marfleld’s
own office.”
The police inspector pursed his
lips, eyed Wiggin coldly, stood up,
nodded to one of the uniformed offi
cers. The officer came across the
room and laid a hand heavily on
Wiggin’s shoulder.
"Hey, what's the idea? What is
this, an arrest? Why me?"
The inspector nodded. “Sure. An
arrest. And you’re the man who’s
being arrested!”
“But look here! What’s the idea?
What are you arresting me for?”
The inspector shook his head sad
ly
"Come, come, Wiggin, you’re no
iriminal. You’re not even intelli
gent. And it takes intelligence to
plan and execute a crime—and get
away with it.” The inspector winked
at the officer. “Doesn’t get it yet.
Plenty dumb." Then to Wiggin:
"Say, wise guy, that office door of
yours opens outward. How could
Marfleld’s dead body topple inward
across the threshold when you
opened the door? Come on, tell me.
You’re so bright!”
Old Meissen Porcelain
Often Called Dresden
The middle of the Eighteenth cen
tury was particularly distinguished
by the many attempts which were
made to produce and improve porce
lain. The opening of trade relations
with the Orient through the East In
dia companies in the last half of the
Seventeenth century had brought to
the Western World the porcelain of
the Orient. At once many promi
nent people on the Continent and in
England began trying to produce
this "true porcelain.”
The discovery of hard paste por
celain had evaded the potters of Eu
rope, although attempts had been
made in Italy with some success
near the end of the Sixteenth cen
tury and in the early Seventeenth
century in France and other places.
It was not, however, until a chemist,
Johann Frederick Bottger, in 1709,
discovered by accident the true hard
paste which Is "white, translucent
and ringing.”
Bottger had been apprenticed to
an apothecary and had conducted
such mysterious experiments that it
was rumored he had found the “phi
losopher's stone.” The king of Prus
sia, hearing of this, naturally de
sired to possess such a wonderful
object The philosopher’s stone, ac
cording to legend, could not only
manufacture gold but also contained
the elixir of eternal youth.
Bottger, fearing the king’s interest
in the things he claimed to do, fled
across the border to Saxony. But
here August the Strong virtually im
prisoned him and commanded him
to produce gold at the forfeit of his
life. Bottger did not produce the
gold but with the accidental discov
ery of kaolin (china clay) he suc
ceeded in making for the king true
white porcelain. The king recog
nized the value of the new discovery
and for greater security had the
works removed from Dresden to
Meissen in 1710. There with his as
sociates he produced the earliest ex
amples of the wares that were to
astonish the ceramic world.
Odd School
Machias Seal island, a lonely and
forbidding pile of rocks nine miles
off the coast of Maine, can boast of
what is perhaps the oddest school
on the North American continent.
The island itself is a part of Maine
but is leased to Canada. There at
the mouth of the Bay of Fundy, 12
miles from the Canadian island of
Grand Manan, the Dominion govern
ment maintains a large lighthouse
for the protection of the Bay of
Fundy shipping.
The barren, rock-strewn island is
inhabited only by two lighthouse
keepers and their families, and Her
bert W. Dayton, a young New Bruns
wick school teacher whom the gov
ernment maintains on the island to
instruct the three children of Mr.
and Mrs. Earle Ingersoll, the second
lighthouse keeper and his wife.
