Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON. UTAH Wash rag rugs in rich suds ane warm water. Rinse carefully, ant dip into a light starch solution Press out the water by hand 01 put them through a loose wringer To dry, lay the rugs flat on i paper. The starch will give then more body and cause them to lu flat. It's easy to keep your drciser from becoming stained and spot-ted from perfume and toilet wa-ter bottles. Place a piece of wax paper under your dresser scarfs for sure protection. A crack between the edge of the bathtub and wall can be mended with a wide strip of adhesive tape. Paint the mended spot the same color as the wall. This is not a permanent method. New clotheslines are clumsy to put up. To make them more soft and durable, try first boiling the line for a few minutes in soapy water. Overcast seams of rayon, silk, or wool to keep them from ravel-ing. They can be overcast together or each edge separately as pre-ferred. Do not draw threads too tight. BV &to C ERALDk BROWN S W.N. U. FEATURE! private detective, li le, 1 w'tddine presents at the 'ion.

I wasn't pulled right off the tail, see? It was over a week be-fore Stevey came in to pay up. We hadn't heard from him to the con-trary, so I kept on the job. But the blonde bombshell never went near Parecini's studio again. She must have backed down somewhere along the line." "They probably had a nice heart-to-hea- rt talk and patched it up.

So far as she was concerned, I might have been the plumber's helper come to repair a leak. Very cool and calm, but burning up with something inside her.

"She went to her room early, about nine. I didn't see her after that. Veronica, the bride and joy," family probably wouldn't stand for it." "Yeah. Funny, isn't It? Not that either of them seem socially con-scious." "Your insight it amazing. They are both good family, but not quite as you say." "Well, whether you know it or not, Stevey was quite a gay dog once. Used to do a bit of chasing in the old days." "I don't doubt that, but I think he's in love with his wife." "Umm. Better to have loved, et cetera. He sure seems nuts about her."

He had the exasperating feeling that he'd been cheated. He shrugged it away. McCale had set his alarm for seven-t-hirty the next morning. It had shrilled in vain. A feeble ray of sunlight flickered across his face as someone shook him by the shoul-der. Shrugging out from under the none too gentle pressure, he blinked, yawned, and saw by the clock that it was much later. McCale began to dress as Rocky headed for the inner sanctum. It didn't take him long. His toilet com-pleted, he went directly to the office windows to pull back the curtains m another dreary morning. He took the cup of coffee his assistant hand-ed him and waited until they sat Take tnat needle out ol your arm. He's in love with the girl." "All right. So he's in love with her."

You know what I mean nice and when you've said that, you've said every thing. Right out of a Mignon Eber hart novel, if you get what I mean Just beautiful and wispy and too dumb to take off her rose-colore- d glasses." Rocky had already settled for himself the fact that Veronica Bige-low was both beautiful and dumb. McCale leaned back in his chair and smiled, for Rocky was a good guy, mostly amusing.

Would he ride up in his Stanley Steamer and rush her off to the nearest Justice of the Peace before she makes a fool of herself? No sirree. It just isn't done by people in our set, doncha know?" "He did come to see her." "Oh, yes. Had a short confab with her in the library. I didn't get a chance to eavesdrop, of course, but I did see them when they said goodnight at the door. He had the most miserable expression on his puss when he kissed her good-by.- " "He kissed her?" "Don't let it throw you. It was just the old act. She sort of put her head up and he gave her a solemn brotherly kiss on the forehead before he went into the night like the last act of an old melodrama. I could have spit in his eye, the dope!"

Gems of Thought THE inner side of every cloud is bright and shining, and so I turn my clouds about, and al-ways wear them inside out to see the lining. Every man is at his best when he adds enthusiasm to whatever he honestly believes in. No man is too big to be kind and courteous, but many men are too little.

The big microscopes spot 500 million stars, the nearest one being 25 million miles away. All the stars are in motion, mov-ing through and past each other's orbit in opposite courses.
