Boyle --- —,—,--- ---— ---------- ----------— morning race far clothes hanging-out honors I have no idea, It recalls to mind an epitaph that I heard neatly given some time ago, An aunt of mine, a spinster, died in the village and we attended the wake. The little front room was crowded with sorrowing relatives, and others patiently biding a decent time after the poor soul had been buried to get reading the will. Sitting in the corner were two friends and one remarked to the other in a quite frank way, “Tabitha was a good soul Why, she never missed a Monday morning in thirty years of having her clothes out first on the line.” But women are not alone with their quirks. Men who have acres and acres of land going to waste will argue themselves black in the face over the placing of a line fence. They let a crooked rail fence straggle along for - years . . . but comes the time to install a new straight wire one . . . and they immediately become con­ vinced that someone is trying to steal their land. Eventually they go to court . . . and engineers and law­ yers and judges take their share and they’re both out of pocket and, per­ haps, bad friends for years, over a practically worthless strip of land that is allowed to grow weeds even after ownership has been established. Another quirk of men is to com­ plain about women talking. Perhaps it’s the clatter of shrill feminine voic­ es that leads them on to -being blam­ ed for incessant talking. Men who complain of it never seem to think of the fact that they are the worst of­ fenders themselves. Watch them around a store ... or the chopping mill. There they sit for hours waiting for their order of groceries or the chop . . . white the attendant stands bored, waiting to get paid. The truth of the matter is that they just keep on talking and never notice thM they could have been away home hours be­ fore they decide to go. I suppose it’s human nature . . . but every man or woman seems to i have a full share of human quirks. "HUMAN QUIRKS”They say the playing fields of Eton were responsible for the great victor­ ies of Wellington and other armies of ancient England and it was plain to see at Meaford Wednesday that lack of visiting the playing fields of Wingham for baseball practice had taken its toll on the local Hurons. The Tribe turned in the loosest effort chalked up to the Braves in years as Meaford won easily 7-2. The Tribes­ men couldn’t hit. couldn't field, in fact, we don’t know just what they could do right on this particular day. Only a small crowd watched the sor­ ry exhibition, fortunately. Warpy Phillips and Bob Chalmers were the starting pitchers but only the left-handed ex-Picton star was in evidence at the end. The Hurons couldn’t -touch Phillips at all, gather­ ing only three hits, and seldom get- i ting the ball out of the infield. Phil­ lips struck out ten and walked only one,. Jerry Campbell succeeded Chal­ mers after the latter's mates had kick­ ed the ball around behind him for five limings, six runs scoring on five hits. Meaford scored three runs on the, jump off and were never threatened,; three hits and a couple of errors do­ ing the trick. They scored another unearned run in -the fourth and two more of the same variety in the fifth. The Tribe battery men seemed, unable to stop the Knights from walking around the bases almost at wilt. The Hurons’ only threat, came in the seventh when they scored both j their runs. Niergarth broke a bat in; singling to left and took second while; feet. Although badly injured, he sue- ? McGeoch was retiring Smith. Groves' i reeded m crawling to the home of his | roller went through the shortstop's; legs, Nlergarth scoring and Boh ead- tug up at second. Mellor dropped a single ito right field and Groves scor­ ed when the catched dropped the ball on a nice throw from the right-Ee’der. A d:rite play ended the Tribe's ■ other chance in the ninth in: Meaferds seventh rtm came in seventh on a race squeere-play.

Look yourself over and you’ll find a great many, but look the neighbours over and, of course, you’ll find a great many more that you would naturally overlook on a person­ al examination. Just take, for instance, these city folks who move out to country es­ tates. They rave over being in the country for their health . . . tell all their friends about the glory of get­ ting out in the fresh air and the sun . . . and then start wearing picture clothes to garden in. There's a case of that over on the next linel The old Jones estate was picked up by a city man, who ‘drives to work every Monday and comes back on Thursday evening. His wife is a good-hearted soul who feels that she’s really countrified and so she’s .taken to wearing a big floppy hat, a printed blouse, strange looking over­ alls and gloves. I stopped there today on the way to the city, and she was telling me all about the grand feeling it gives her to get out and work with Mother Earth. Somehow, there doesn’t seem to be any feeling to Mother Earth when you wear gloves . . . nothing akin to the planting and growing of a garden unless you wear an old pair of overalls ... no hat, and grub with your fingers in the clay. Another quirk of human nature seems to be that of trying to hang lyour washing out ahead of anyone |else. Monday morning seems to bring (more alarm clocking ticking their peal out at unearthly times than any other | | day in the week. And in the soft, grey i dim of the morning, women work with | feverish fingers to get their clothes i oat ahead of their neighbours. Whoever that Monday I Hew?
