The organization is sponsoring a 15-STORY “TEST TUBE” DESIGNED BY FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT A fifteen-story glass tower, designed by the famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, is the feature of a modern wax research laboratory to be built this year in Racine, Wisconsin, w was an nounced today by Herbert F. Johnson, Jr., pru dent of S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc., of Racine. Johnson said: "Our new building, which will mark the 60th anniversary of the founding of our business, will be a companion to the Johnson Administration Building which was also designed by Wright and completed iO- 1939. It will give us unsurpassed facilities for the development of better wax prod nets for home and industry, and at the same time represent, I believe, as great a contribution to businr-s architecture as did our first Wright building.” The r :-w Johnson’s Wax laborato.’y is a com pact, tall stack, rising 156 feet in the air, serviced directly from a circular masonry stem connected to floors at the center of each of the fifteen levels that make up the building. Each level is to be brilliant with sunlight in every part and air con ditioned, heated, serviced complete from the cen tral shaft. Wright believes that the new Johnson Research Building will prove an inspiring example for American business—“inspiring business to make itself more effective by making itself more pre sentable.” CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1 Chance 4 Fairy queen 7 Sharpen 8 Skull pro tuberances 10 Chief Teu tonic gods 11 Scandi navians 13 Tuft on bird’s head 14 Beneath 15 Sign of infinitive 16 Astern 18 Indefinite article 19 Most honest 23 Old woman 25 Be silent! 28 Vehicles 29 Means of communica tion 30 Feat 31 Most superior 32 Divests of “bunk” 34 Exclama tion 36 Unit of work 37 Expression of delight 39 Slightest 42 Asiatic palm 45 Deserve 46 Musical , drama 47 Tardy 48 Furnish 49 Weight of India 50 Male nick name DOWN 1 Rubber pipe 2 Cuckoos 3 Has refer ence to 4 Period of time Solution in Next Issue. 5 Soon 6 Feathered creature 7 Leading character 9 On the ocean 10 Perform 12 Sea eagle 17 Young of fishes 19 Doomed 20 Positive terminal 21 Part of leg 22 Rise and fall of water (pi.) 23 Wander about idly 24 Regret 26 Short for sister 27 Little child 29 Bolt with ring at end 31 Animal’s pelt 33 Improved 34 Tree 35 Part of foot 37 Flock 38 A wing 40 Macaws 41 Location 43 Fencing sword 44 Serve | Answer to Puzzle No. 43 jHEAVEN WAS NEVER LIKE THIS THAT’S WHY BABY CAME TO YOU Make Baby’s room a little para dise.

Davis Although spring was here quite a few days ago I just discovered it this past Sunday. I caught a street car and hurried away from swelte^ng streets and critical eyes. The time was 173$ and the I sun was just beginning to fold its rays and draw the curtain on the day. Fifteen minutes later the park lay before me, beauti fully green and fresh looking. I disembarked and ran the few yards to nature’s carpet and fell on the cushion of green. The nice warm moist earth’s smell filled my nostrils and made me glad. To the west a bird sounded off in melodious notes. I wallowed erd tried to cover myself with the fragrance of spring. The nights mist began to foil in from the south and they recalled i memories of my army days- 11 thought how majestic it was and 1 what a fine looking color scheme it made as it joined the .green grass. I went down to the spring and watched the gurgling water spil' over the stones. Each drop told its own individual story of her. Low tinkling sounds were like her throaty voice echoing sweet phrases. The excess water mean dered as did our love. Swiftly it rolled in fluid like pace down the steep incline only to slow down when it struck the upgrade and finally crash in turbulent disorder before pouring into the brook. I watched this process for about an hour. Hypnotized by the realistic picture of our life- Children’s lau ghter filled the air and reawaken ed me. I walked across a bridge and paused- I dropped a lighted but unsmoked cigarette in the wa ter for She and I. Symbolic like it floated swiftly down stream until suddenly it hit a snag, then it stopped abruptly and went un der, lost forever. I dropped a penny in' the same spot for fu ture luck. I looked up through the night, through the stalwart pines and saw a bright future- A girl smiled at me. I hope the past three years in the Southwest Pa cific have not made me different. It is spring and a new thrilling pulse is walking through my be ing. Me DONALD REPORTING By C. C.

Ice Cream Dolls Are Sure To Reign As Belles At A Party ^ ICE cream dolls are sure to rate as belles at a party for the younger crowd. It’s no trouble to serve this glamorous dessert treat as a high light to refreshments if you make ice cream with sweetened condensed milk. Crunchy cookies, too. for col lars and hats, can be made with magic speed with sweetened con densed milk, and without making inroads on your supply of sugar, eggs, flour or shortening. These thrifty treats are guaranteed failure-proof, so you can let the teen agers make their own party supplies. When it's time to assemble the dolls, place a cookie on each plate, add a ball of ice cream, top it with another cookie, and stick raisins in place for eyes, nose and mouth. With an assortment of different kinds of games, such as Make a Million, Camelot. and Monopoly, the entertainment part of the party will take care of itself. Sweetened condensed milk used as an ice cream mix guarantees a creamy, smooth texture, free of ice crystals. Just three ingredients are called for besides the sweetened condensed milk—thin cream or evaporated milk, flavoring and water. If whipping cream is avail able, you can substitute a cup of it, whipped, for ths thin cream or evaporated milk. If raisins are hard to find for the dolls’ eyes, currants, small bits of dates or prunes, or halves of cher-' * ries may be used instead. A small lace paper doily under the lowei cookie serves as a most becoming lace collar.
