A Woman’s Viewpoint BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

AN Indoor sport with which I have lost patience is s he comparing of modern ease with oldfashioned hardships. Gas and electric ranges, we are told, have replaced the big wood and coal stoves over which our grandmas prrspired. We nde in unee-action automobiles Instead of having our necks dislocated in oxcarts. Our light comes from bulbs, and theirs came from randies. We have a thousand conveniences where they had a dozen. Well what of it? We'd be a sluggish set of fools if we had made no progress since their day. What are human brains and ingenuity for. if not to make life more pleasant and easy? Just because grandma got up in an icy room, primed the pump and ground her coffee n a hand mill is no reason why he." great-granddaughter should cxcla.m. ‘All’s well with the world!’’ when she lives in a steamheated apartment with running water and gets her coffee, already made, from a aumb-waiter. Harping back to the past shouldn't make us smug; instead, it ought to m ike us ashamed that with ail the possibilities at hand so many millions of our countrymen still exist with only the comforts that were rommon a century ago. Electricity is a great boon to man. The supply is unlimited. Yet so long as thousands of homes are without it I can't see what all the shouting is r.bout. In grandpa's day everybody had a well; today not everybody has running water—many in fact see no chance of getting it soon. We live -n the greatest scientific age mankind has ever known—and yet were forever comparing it with

the spinning wheel era. Perhaps we'd be better off if we stopped counting our blessings and began to count our blunders.

TAKZAN AND THE LION MAN

Atewy rubbed his hands and contemplated Rhonda with an oily smile. “When we find the Valley of Diamonds,” he said, “all of our little band will be rich. Then I shall buy you from the sheik and take you back to my ashirat.” Rhonda gazed at him contemptuously, defiantly. “You and who else?” she scoffed.

Ab el-Ghrennem did not understand what his interpreter was saying, but Atewy noted that the sheik was gazing at the maiden most interestedly. Atewy was not pleased. He was determined to have Rhonda for himself. And he was quickly formulating plans which would have enraged the sheik had he known them.

Soon the Arabs spread blankets for the two girls on the ground near the fire; and the sentry who watched the camp was posted nearby. “We've got to get away. Naomi.’’ said Rhonda. “You mean, go out there alone in the forest at night?” whispered Naomi, aghast. “Think of the lions! They'd tear us to pieces!’’

At the edge of the camp, the sly Atewy was cleverly inviting Eyads participation in his plot. “You would like one of the white ‘benat,’ Eyad. I have seen it in your eyes.” Eyad nodded slowly and eyed the other through narrowed lids as Atewy resumed. “If you heed me, you shall have one for yourself!”
