trapped family.
The whole inside of the house
was a roaring inferno before the
firemen got there, deputy chief

Planning a February party?
Well, whatever the occasion, the
refreshments allbays seem to be
the major concern. I’ve discovered,
that 1 can save myself last minute
worry and work and really enjoy j
my parties by carefully planning'
ahead of time. In fact, I always
fix my special candies and sand
wiches early in the morning, then
wrap each one carefully in waxed
paper, and they’re just as fresh at
night as if I had just made them!
Waxed paper, you know, holds the
moisture of your bread and in
sures the freshness for hours.
I thought you might like a few
suggestions for those February
party menus and decorations:
For a Washington s Birthday
Party, tlx patriotic sandwiches in
red, white and blue. Kill them
with minced ham for the red.
cream cheese for the white, and
grape jelly for the blue. Wrap in
. dividual packets of three in waxed
paper and serve them that wfay—
you won't even need plates:
For real fun for young or old
— make horoscope cakes — indivi
dual servings cut in stars or zo
diac signs. When baked, silt the
top of each and Insert little waxed
paper envelopes containing good
, luck charms and fortune rhymes.
Try these ideas with other party
motifs. You’ll find it’s worlds of
fun and easy, too—and that handy
| roll of waxed paper goes to a par
ty just as conveniently as it works
I in your kitchen!

Infra-Red Rays Aid
Study Of Mars
McDonald Observatory, Fort
Davie, Tex. (/P)—The green spots
on Mars may be some lower form
of plant life.
But they are not plants like the
earth’s trees and grass.
Astronomers at McDonald. Ob
servatory failed to give a flat ans
wer to the intriguing question of
whether there is life on Mars but
Dr. Gerard P. Kuiper, director of
the observatory, listed several
known factors for and against the
possibility.
For:
1. There is some water.
2. The temperatures are not too
cold.
Against:
So far, it appears the deadly ul
tra violet rays of the sun would
kill any form of plant growth.
The observations have been aid
ed by use of a new infra-red spec
trometer which was not available
until the end of the war.
The conclusion that the green
spots are neither seed plants nor
ferns—the two highest forms of
plant life—was reached by com
paring infra-red photographs of
such earth plants with those of the
verdant areas of Mars, Dr. Kuiper
explained.
