I By MRS. MARY MORTON
before she became known as J|rithm‘s
“fairy godmother”, She w«m> tlie dau
ghter of a farmer, and on th& death of
her third husband, Sir JUflhard Hous
ton/ became one of the^dchest women
in the world, inbe^i^ig nearly $30,-
000,000.
Because her husband had died out
side and had. made his home
in^tlF^hannbl Islands, it was claimed
that his estate was free of death dut
ies. Biit Lady Houston - made a gift
of $12,000,000 to the British Govern
ment — equivalent to the estate duty.
Becoming alarmed at Britain’s de
fencelessness, Lady Houston in 1932
offered the Gov ernment another mil
lion dollars, as a gesture “to supple
ment national defence.” Ramsay Mac
Donald, the pacifist Premier, rejected
the offer.
Lady Houston was rather eccentric.
Whenever she was aboard her yacht,
every member of the crew had to go
below at a certain hour every -day, be
cause she was taking her constitution
al around the deck. This she did stark
naked.

MORE SENSITIVE nowadays. It
is strange how words change in mean
ing in the course of years. I am re
minded of this by reading of the place
“Buq-Buq” in the news of fighting in
Egypt and Libya. This was formerly
called “Bug-Bug" but, in deference to
our more sensitive feelings, is now
given the more euphonious title.
Another instance is that of the Lucy
Brook, near Lancaster, England. For
many hundreds of year, until recently,,
this was known as Lousy Brook, a not
inapt name when it is recalled that
“lousy” formerly meant “sparkling.”♦ * *
AMUSING WAR STORY. There
is an amusing story of a great soldier’s-
only attempt to be sociable with the
private soldier during the last war, in
John Buchan’s autobiography “Mem
ory Hold The Door.”
Field Marshal Lord Haig stopped a
man and said tef him: "Well, where
did you start the war?”
The soldier turned white. “Please,
sir, I never started no war,” he pro
tested.
and court them!
To consumate the match, the bride’s
relatives must “capture” the man.
They descend on his home, seize all
his removeable property, then lead
him to his sweetheart, and the couple
set up housekeeping in the home of
the bride’s father.
Where the bachelor dissents to the
marriage, he still cannot prevent the
seizure of his property, but he can
flee. He remains in voluntary exile un
til he receives word that, the girl has
married someone else, when he can re-'
turn to his own home quite safely, and
he will receive back the possessions he
had lost.

It will
to learn
Few people remember that a woman
gave Britain the world’s finest and
fastest fighting plane, the Spitfire- She
was Lady Houston.
After winning the Schneider Cup
Trophy (for world’s fastest plane) in
1927 and 1929, threat Britain needed
but one more win to own the cup out
right, but in 1931 the Government re
fused to grant the money needed to
finance the venture.
For the sake of Britain’s air pres
tige, Lady Houston gave the Govern
ment a million dollars. Britain enter
ed the race and won, and as a result
of the performance data obtained, Mr.
Mitchell, the famous plane designer,
was able to design the Spitfire — and
all the world knows how big a part it
played in repulsing the
krieg on Britain.

GANDHI AS SOLDIER,
come as a surprise to many
that Mahatma Gandhi, the Hindu as
cetic, has twice been in khaki as a Bri
tish soldier, and vzas mentioned in dis
patches during the Boer War.
During the South African war,
Ghandi led a group of native Indians,
and trained them to act as stretcher-
bearers. He then offered their services
to the British Government. The form
ation of an Indian Ambulance Corps,
was approved, and at the end of the
war, Gandhi and 36 other Indians re
ceived war medals.
Some years later, when the Zulu Re
bellion broke out, the Mahatma again
offered to raise a similar company of
stretcher-bearers, and this time he was
given the rank of sergeant-major.

Why Do We Say An Action Is
“Above-Board”?
It means that an action is honest
•and straightforward, and comes from
the custom of juglers and magicians
who stand at a table and arrange their
tricks with their hands below the
table-top. Then- they bring their hands
above the board, or table-top, and
work in a straightforward manner.

What Are The “Nine Points
of the Law”?
It is often said that “possession
nine points of the law.” These nine
points which ensure success in a law
suit have been described as: a good
deal of money, a good deal of patience,
a good cause, a good lawyer, a good
counsel, good witnesses, a good jury,
a good judge, and good luck.

The food situation grows steadily
worse in Norway. The huge German
army of occupation (estimated at
more than 300,000 men) continues to
requisition meat, eggs and other foods,
and the Norwegian puppet-Nazis have
first pick. Shortage of meat has be
come acute, particularly ,in Oslo where
butcher shops are closed for the great
p?rt of the week. Long lines of weary
housewives form in front of food stor
es several hours before they open. If
luck' is with them, they obtain half a
pound of phopped meat or a small
piece of sausage. The supply of flour
is rapidly decreasing. Bread is made
with so many ingredients that it tastes
like, cardboard. Milk production is
down 23%. Dairies report a 55% de
crease in the production of butter.
“Accidents” have so often broken
the power lines to German airports in
western Norway that the Nazis have
resorted to wholesale fining of com
munities nearest the scene of sabotage.
The city o-f1 Trondheim was recently
fined 60,000 crowns because ’’an un
identified assailant threw acid in the
face of a German sailor.
