Today sofa beds and studio couches are made in several different styles and covered with a variety of attractive fabrics, many of which have a rumpus room motif. An ideal arrangement would be to use one or two of these in (dace of s number of chairs scattered around the room. This would provide plenty of seating space, yet keep the floor uncluttered for dancing, games and other recreational activities. It would also provide daytime lounging facilities where Mother could take a nap or the children could spend after-school hours. Perhaps best of all, these double duty pieces would take care of e::tra guests by, letting the rumpus room double for a guest room. Two studio couches or sofa beds "ould take care of four guests with sase as they are simple to open and pull out. becoming well-built bSda *hich comfortably accommodate two persons each. If a college student son or daughter should bring friends home for a arefek-end, the rumpus room could be turned over to them and all their activities centered in it during their visit. There are any number of times when an extra guest room would be convenient so that family activities would not be upset by a doubling-up an sleeping accommodations. •E HAMS? 8U Mary's Catholic Charcf Sunday: 7:00, 8:80. lp:o5 and il:36 Holy Days: 6:00; 8:00; 10:00.

The custom of chewing coca leaves is so common | that most large haciendas pay part of { their wages in leaves. An alkali, us- j ually ashes or lime mixed With clay, | is added to the quid, for without it there is little effect.

Illinois Fine Liquors -- Tasty Sandwiches Moderate Prices "Where old friends meet." Papaya (Carica papaya), a large tree-like, herbaceous plant, produces an edible fruit that resembles s melon, particularly a cantaloup. It is indigenous to tropical America but has spread to many other parts of the tropics and as far north as latitude 32 degrees. The plant reaches a height of 25 or 30 feet, looks something like a palm, to which it is not related, and usually is without branches. The large, deeply lobed leaves are generally borne near the apex: the fruits are clustered near the leaf stems clpse to the woody, grayish trunk. Papaya trees or plants are easily propagated from seed and grow rapidly. They begin to bear fruit within 10 to 14 months after germination of the seed but live only 4 or L years. They give best results in regions having a warm climate and deep; well-drained loamy soils. Cool nights and excessive moisture, everf in tropical areas, are often unfavorable factors.

Rare trilfripeter swans are. appearing in southeastern Alaska in grow- 1 ing numbers in both winter and surr- « mer, according to reports sent in by observers of the Fish and" Wildlife service. In addition to the wintering flocks totaling nearly 300, reports have come in of birds summering on . the small lakes among the islands. • and on several occasions the younr; have been observed. Once an abun- | dant bird, the trumpeter swan population declined so rapidly during the i early part of the century that the I species was thought to be extinct. J Early destruction resulted primarily from the heavy trading in the bird's down and breast skin. Later tho population was further depleted when the breeding grounds (ft the swans were taken over for farms and ranches. Thick Foreleg* to Pigs Occasionally, litters are found to which one or more pigs show marked enlargement of the forelegs below the elbow joint. The skin is tense and may have a pbrple hue. The affected animals have difficulty in standing and moving about and, as a result, they usually die from starvation in two or three days. The condition is hereditary and usually can be prevented from showing up again in the herd by changing either sires or dams.
