MIND OF HIS OWN Modal Locker Plants Increase* As a result of prewar as well as successful wartime experience of farmers who have used frozen food lockers for quick freezing and storing of their surplus food supplies, a broad increase in construction of locker plants in farming communities is expected after the war, according to the National Frozen Food Locker association. The frozen food locker industry, now operating more than two million individual storage units, serves one-fourth of America's farm families, and is making plans for further expansion. R,ental of lockers, in many cases, is far below tha cost for low temperature refrigeration installed by individual farmers.

"Wurra, Eagan," he declared, still eyeing the bird, "there's sittin' a tirrible waste o' a timptin' diah. Och, how I'd love to be layin' me lip o'er a tinder slice o' roast duck." "Rafferty," Eagan said smugly, "ye're mintionin' ducklin's to a bucko who's after knowin' thir habits. Faith, lad, me shootin' sueciss was the invy an' toast o' Dublin." He grinned confidently and plunged into a detailed recital of his prowess. "An* this bein' duck season," ha continued, "I'll drive 'round early in the mornin' an' take ye huntin'. From a master ye'll be larnin' th« fine pints o' the sport." That night high winds swept down the coast awl it was raining and cold when Eagan pounded vigorously on Rafferty's door. Rafferty's head popped from an upstairs window. "G'way!" he bellowed. "I'm after changin' me mind. The Lord's givin" a duck too miny brains to be flyin' « night the likes o' this." Eagan insisted that the lull after a storm alwaya made for good hunting. "'Tis to a pond tin miles from the seay-I*m- takin' ye," Eagan explained as they climbed into the car witfc boots and hunting equipment. The car safely parked in a narrow lane, Rafferty and Eagan splashed through the marshland and into a natural blind on the rim of the pond. "Keep yer face outta sight," Eagan ordered as he knelt in (the reeds. " 'Tis gittin' daylight an* 'twould be sqarin' the birds." Rafferty growled and squinted, then stepped to one side. His roar shattered the silence as he slid hip deep into the mire of a sinkhole. Eagan demanded silence and gazed upward into the drizzle and fog. "May the divil take the wither man," he sputtered in disgust. "The air's after havin' hairs on it." He laid his gun against a pole and reached for his pipe. At that moment a duck, quacking softly, settled on the pond and glanced curiously about. Rafferty, spellbound, stopped shivering and stood motionless. ThA duck dipped daintily into the water and then, while Eagan scrambled for his gun, took off and disappeared into the blanketed sky. Eagan squinted at Rafferty. "Me dear frind," he said softly, 'whin huntin' 'tis the objict to be shootin' the bird--not charmin' him.". His voice rose. "Why wasn't ye shootin'?" he thundered. Rafferty shook his leg. "'twas a hin duck," he muttered weakly. "An' I'm shootin' no mother." Eagan examined the loads in his gun and glowered at Rafferty. Then suddenly a graceful form swooped lov^. Eagan's gun barked. The duck wheeled sharply and, as Eagan fired the second shot, with an impertinent flip of its wings and the duck disappeared into the mist. "Faith, he's after flyin' up, spittin' in yer face, an' flyin' safe away," Rafferty gloated. It was then Eagan noticed the j stranger. He stood on the edge of the pond examining a dead bird he'd picked up in the reeds near the base of an overhanging tree. "Och, the spalpeen's stealin' me duck," Eagan whispered to Rafferty. "But I'm the lad who'll make the. bucko hand him over." The man looked up astonished when Eagan, in a belligerent voice, demanded the bird. "Can you identify it?" he asked mildly. "I'd likfe to be certain this is the bird you killed." Eagan peered through the fog. •• 'Tis him!" he affirmed promptly. "Sure, I'd be knowin' the shape anywher?." The stranger " moved closer. "Then," he said sternly, "acting on your admission of guilt, as game warden I place you under arrest. This county protects its *ea gulls." The warden held out the bird and Eagan had his first good look. "Wurra, me eyes is after lyin\" he sputtered, moving away. " 'Tis nivir the bird I thought. Mistakin' idintity." His eloquent pleas of innocence fell on deaf ears. "Just tell it all to the judge," the warden said coldly. Then he pauaed and studied Eagan's face. "Of course," he finally admitted, "there are, perhaps, extenuating circumstances. I am also chairman of the county Red Cross and should you care to make a donation of, well . . . er . . . shall we say a pint of blood. . . . " ; Eagan quickly agreed. "An' divil a- bit o' punishmint ia that," he muttered sourly aa the warden handed the bird to Rafferty and i wrote directions to the blood donors' headquarters on the back of a card. With a smile and thanks, the Warden walked away. Suddenly Rafferty stared closely at the bird in his hand. A wide grin split his blunt features. "Arragh," he chortled, " 'tis a day I'll nivir forgit an' I'm thinkin' the lads at Casey's '11 be lovin' this tale." Eagan squinted. " 'Twas but a mistake o'< me keen ahootin' eye," he growled. Rafferty glanced at the tree and his grin widened. "Eagan," he chuckled, "there's divil a shot in the gull. He's after breakin' his nick liyin' against the tree in the night's storm. Faith, 'tis me who's declarin* ye'd bist be stickin* te yor lyin* huntin1 in Casey's." S 1 - t k • h f J j - - ^ j _ , ;;V ^ . \ Featured in Shows Trend Back to Gorgeous Creations Apparent. By CfflREIF HW1CHOLAS What a treat to the eye are the perky little sailors with their provocative little veils and ribbon bands! The very unusualness of tha new high crowns and their wee brims oatches one's fancy at first glance and the feeling grows on one that a sailor is just the fashionfirst you'll buy for spring. Seems as if these saucy little sailors have names. There's the little vivacioua "Sissy" sailor. It" is winning its way right into the heart of American women. Ita crown is high, its Drim is tiny. Banded with wide grosgrain ribbon with animated streamers at the back, it's irresistible. You'll find it ultra Chic with your spring suit As to the adorable little flower hats that came trooping in without a word of warning right in the midat of winter, a vote of thanks should go to the powers that be who launched these little lovelies so surprisingly early this season. Worn with fur coats, they prove veritable morale builders on a day When skies are gray. 'Tis said that this Easter will be one of the floweriest ever, so far as hats are concerned. What with the early advent of flower hat8 followed by the appearance on the scene of a host of Cleverest- ever sailor hats, it is very apparent that the new millinery season has had a perfect start-off. Looking about at preview showings the very beautifully and versatilely styled hats gives 6ne a feeling that at last the long-hoped-for' return of "real millinery" is a dream that has come true. It takes the genius of experts to handle ribbons, flowers, beautiful straw braids, fabrics and whimsical veils as they are being worked with this season. And believe it or not, wire frames are being used again. Only a milliner-born would, attempt wire frames. It's this way many of the dressier hats are being made of sheer materials, worked in a frilly lightsome way, and a firm foundation is necessary. Just now the paramount theme is the stiit hat and the new collections are bringing out stunning, practical fashions. The most distinctive trend is toward higher crowns and larger headsizes. Then too, much emphasis is placed on dramatically draped and beribboned turbans. The turban- cloche is an important spring silhouette, which combines a flattering higher crown that slants toward the back, with a comfortable head fit achieved with a sort of cloche extension in front.
