Lame Pair Design Home for Comfort Ramps Take Place of Steps For Easy Going. CLEVELAND. The Donald R. Freys are building a home they have designed themselves. This, in itself, isn’t unusual, except that the Freys are both crippled with infantile paralysis. Their home has several distinc' /e features that will make living easier for them. Frey cannot step out of his wheelchair, and his wife has to rely on crutches. The house will have no steps. Ramps to all doors lead the way from the outside and small ramps lead to the rooms. All the rooms, the garage, and a utility room containing the heating plant are reached from a hall five feet wide running through the center of the house. When-the Freys drive up to their garage, they will stop at a post built on the side of the drive and insert a key, and the doors will open and the garage lights turn on. Once inside they will be able to Step out of the car and into the hall of their home. Mrs. Frey will have the assistance of every automatic housekeeping device available. All doors will be sliding and all windows will be manipulated with small handles that will require only turning. ‘Play’ Railroad Is Envy Of Railroad Officials MANDEVILLE, LA.—Model railroaders are pikers in the eyes of Sidney J. Thibodeaux, president and general manager of the Mandeville Northern railroad. Thibodeaux is chief executive of the world’s shortest standard gauge rail line. His Mandeville Northern line—soo feet long—runs from his home to the shore of near-by Lake Ponchartrain. But there are three stations on the road—Josephine, Davis and Stella. Each of the stops is named for one of Thibodeaux’s three grandchildren, for whom he built the real “play railroad.” Passes issued annually by the railroad, couhtersigned by Thibodeaux, are an envied item among railroad officials of the nation. Many visitors stopping here are invited to ride the full length of the line and return.

$1,500 a Day Heir Is Most Expensive Child in World $1,701,000 Spent for Support Of Libby Holman’s Son In Past Three Years. BALTIMORE.—LittIe Christopher Smith Reynolds, son of the former Libby Holman, torch singer, appear as to be firmly established, by a court order just approved here, as the most expensive child in the world. The order approves an accounting by his guardians of the expenditure during the past three years of the neat sum of 11,701,940.45 for Christopher’s "support, maintenance, education and recreation." This, a little mathematics will show, amounts to more than $1,500 a day. All to take care of one seven-year-old boy who, according to his own mother, doesn’t yet suspect he’s rich. By scoring this record mark in the high cost of juvenile living, little Christopher seems to live up to his family nickname, which is "topper." ‘Topper’ Tops Record. Ordinary people gasped some years ago when they learned it had taken something like $150,000 to sea little "Babs” Hutton now the Countess Reventlow through her debutante year. But "Topper,” according to the court record, tops that much every three months. Where does “Topper’s” money all go? Well, the full details are buried in Baltimore’s Orphans* court, where the accounting was filed. “Topper” had to pay for the maintenance of the big estates where he resides with his mother and stepfather, even though Topper occupies a very small part of it. He had to pay a federal income tax of $47,197 for the year of 1939 alone. During the same period, his mother received $91,666.67 for his "support and education.” Then he has other unusual expenses—a small stable of prize ponies; servants; guards to protect him from kidnapers; heavy legal fees (amounting to $151,000 last year) and all sorts of other things that don't come under the head of ice cream and cake. Thinks He’s Broke. “I want ‘Topper’ to learn to work,” his mother said recently. “At our estate in Connecticut, he walks after the gardener, picking up armfuls of grass and carrying it away. "I give him a quarter for the whole job and he bargains with me about whether it is enough. He has no idea he is a rich boy. In fact, I overheard him say:* “ ‘I hope mamma gets a job on the stage. We need money.’ ’’ Libby Holman Scarcely needs to, as she received $750,000 under the same settlement that gave-“ Topper” approximately $7,000,000.. . This was in 1936, four years after "Topper’s” young father, Zachary Smith Reynolds, died of a mysterious bullet wound following a gay birthday party at his home in Winston-Salem, N. C. “Topper’s” legacy comes originally from the Reynolds tobacco millions, of which his late father inherited a $28,000,000 slice,

Sun Worshiper* Found In Turkey Near Istanbul ISTANBUL.—A family of sun worshipers, speaking its own ancient language, has been found living in Isolation near the village of Pinarja, European Turkey, within 50 miles of Istanbul, it was reported recently. There are 24 in the family—l 2 women, 6 men and 6 children. Their ancestors are said to have come from Egypt during the reign of Emperor Fatih, 600 years ago, and succeeding generations have followed the same customs. They dress in white, take cold showers daily, forbid camels or turkeys to enter their domain, and sacrifice oxen on a fiery altar six times a year. The family was discovered when one of its men, named Rustem, was sentenced to 18 years in prison for having murdered a Turkish girl he had kidnaped. Hi* Hiding Place Turn* Out to Be Too Perfect CONCORD, N. C.—A man here picked the perfect hiding place. Scampering through several blocks to elude officers, he ducked down some stairs to a basement. He fumbled in the dark, found a small room. In the room was a mattress and he covered himself with it. He didn’t, until Jailer Bert Ball found him a little later, know that he was hiding in the “dungeon” sometimes used for incorrigible prisoners. Detective’* Manual Is Reminder of Hi* Error DALLAS.—Detective Elmer Gatty parked his automobile in a 20-min-ute zone and dashed into the central police station to get his mail. He found a book of “rules and regulations” being distributed to all policemen, and spent, 30 minutes studying it. Suddenly he groaned. He pointed to Article 7, Section 6, page 43, which read: "A policeman may be discharged for conviction of violation of any city ordinance.” He rushed to his car. It had a ticket for over-parking.

Tomato as Food Until the early part of the Nineteenth century, the tomato was little cultivated in America and then only as a de :orative plant or as food for pigs. It made its first appearance in tl southern states probably a little oefore it was introduced into < the North. In March, 1828, a number of the Southern Agriculturist, published in Charleston, mentioned it. It was brought to New Jersey ] by Peter Bogart of Princeton about 1830. A monument to the man to eat the first tomato marks the grave of Michele Felice Corne, in a small cemetery near Farewell street, Newport, R. I. y Water, Water, Etc. Birds qnd animals often starve to death in this midst of plenty . . . because they do not know that unfamiliar foods are good to eat . . . for instance, it took two or three years for quail in Florida and Georgia to find out that millet and other grains, planted for them, were good to eat.

//(//’ r 13 1 L " r ' A i I l | if. MUaaaßgMfer A ’ I 8 li— Herb Jellies Are New Accompaniments for Meat

TIERE are certain flavor affinities in foods that are not to be denied. There’s pork and sage, for instance, or pork with the tangy taste of tart apples, to cut its richness.' Sometimes the sage is powdered and sprinkled over the roasting meat; frequently, it’s found in the bread dressing which accompanies the roast; and the taste of apples may be introduced as apple sauce or by baking apples with the meat. Those tricks of seasoning are old favorites, and good. But here’s a new one—new as 1941! Serve Sage and Cider Jelly with pork roast or poultry, for the trickiest flavor combination yet. Sage and Cider Jelly (Makes 5 glasses) % cup boiling water 3 tablespoons dry sage 1% cups sweet cider 3% cups sugar % cup liquid pectin Few drops yellow coloring Pour boiling water over sage and let stand 15 minutes. Strain. Combine sage-infusion with cider and sugar. Bring to a boll on surface unit of electric range, with switch

chestra under the baton of Fabien Sevitzky. The same program will be played tomorrow night at 8:30. Both concerts will be given in the Murat Theatre. Mr. Sevitzky has prepared a program of great variety and color for the occasions. The compositions to be played include Bach’s Chorale Prelude “Herzlich Thut Mich'Verlangen”; the Symphony in G Minor by Kalinnikow; Arcady Dubensky’s Fugue for 18 Violins; the Prelude to Wagner’s opera The Mastersingers and the world premiere of a musical satire entitled “Escapade” by Carl Eppert, native-born Hoosier who is regarded as one of the out-standing contemporary composers. The second concert of the Special Orchestra Series, inaugurated this year for people who want to hear music on Friday nights, will be played next Friday, Jan. 10 at 8:30 p. m. in the Murat Theatre. The program, featuring David Blair McClosky, baritone, as soloist, is composed entirely of the works of Wagner. Mr. McClosky will sing the aria “Evening Star” from Tannhaeuser and Wotan’s Farewell from the Valkyries. Other Wagnerian selections include the Overture to the opera Rienzi; the Prelude to Act 111, Dance of the Apprentices, and Mastersingers Procession from The Mastersingers; the Prelude Liebestod from Tristan and Isolde; the Fire Music from the Valkyries and the Overture to the opera Tannhaeuser.
