Do You Feel
Bright Today?
A rtish of brain teasers has broken
OUt in town and almost anyone you
meet on the street has a pet riddle
Which he will tell you all about at
the drop of a hat. It seems to
popular way of whiling away the
winter evenings.
Maybe Grandpa puzzled over
of the conundrums that have
going the rounds the last few
but even so, granddaughter

loig
er and divide the money or the eggs
evenly, nor do they give any credit
to anyone.

hundred animals using up the entire
one hundred dollars but no more or
no less. He is able to buy horses at
ten dollars each; pigs at five dollars
each; and sheep at fifty cents each.

4— A man starts out to the river to
get seven gallons of water. All he
has to fetch the water with are two
pails. One is a five gallon pail, the
other a three gallon pail. He wants
to bring back only seven gallons of
water, no more or no less. How does
he manage this?

5— A fish's head is three and a half
inches long; it’s tail is the length of
the head plus half the length of
its body; its body is the length of its
head plus the length of its tail. How
long is the fish?

.kick out of it. And probably some
new ones have been added to modern
ize an age-old institution.
gome of the brain teasers are simple
and uncomplicated, and require only
a few minutes’ cogitation. Others are
about as involved as Einstein’s theory
of relativity.
Here’s a sample of the type of thing
that’s going the rounds. See next
week’s paper for the answers, if you
haven’t already figured them out.

1—A farmer sends out his two small
sons, each with a basket of eggs to
sell. In one basket he puts four doz
en and three extra eggs. In the other
basket he puts one dozen and four
extra eggs. He tells his sons to sell
the eggs at the same price and come
back with the same amount of money.
At what price do they sell the eggs? |to problem. “However, if you do

CLAIMS DISCOVERY OF VIOLIN
SECRET OF STRADIVARIUS ’
(Continued from Page One)
of the Strad's tonal qualifies. In spite'
of the fact that the secret has .eluded
violin makers all these years, Mr.
Schatte says it is actually so simple
. . ' would understand it as
principle was explained
that anyone
soon as the
to them-
When Mr,
secret of the
ed of the same principle could be
used on ordinary violins, and what
the effect, would be. Taking an ordin
ary violin, he built the Strad principle
into it, after dismantling the instru^
ment completely, and lo, and behold!
the instrument sounded like an origi
nal^ Strad. Mr, Schatte is convinced
that any cheap violin which has the
Strad principle built into it will sound
several times better, and that an in
strument of good quality with the
Strad principle will be the equal of
any Strad original. And he’ll play the
different instruments to show you
what he means.
Having solved the problem of the
Stradivarius, Mr. Schatte is somewhat
at a loss as to what he should do
about it.w For marketing an jjirticle
like the principle of the Stradivarius
violin isn’t as simple as you might
think,
One of the big problems to begin
with is to get some one to admit
you have something. Original Strads
are few and far between, so it is dif
ficult to get one for purposes of com
parison. Even if you do find some
body with an original, he is unlikely
to admit th'at~his instrument can be
duplicated in. tone and volume at a
cost of maybe two or three hundred
dollars—especially when he has paid
perhaps $25,000 for his own original.
And finally, quite apart from the
actual qualities of the instrument,'
Schatte came across the
Stradivarius, he wonder-
there is undoubtedly a 3BPb appeal
about an original Stradivarius which
I has quite a bit to do with its high
price, It's kke owning a first edition
of Shakespeare or a Rolls Royce,
A market for the idea might be
found amongst the .violin manufac
turers, but Mr, Schatte is doubtful
if a principle that was discovered and
used 250 years ago can be patented
tqday, Violin makers are not noted
for their receptiveness to unorthodox
ideas’, either,
Mr. Schatte, who has been a musi
cian all his life, is currently trying
to think of a way out of his dilemma.
He would like the musical world to
have the benefit of his discovery, And,
approaching the age at 'which most
men retire, he would like to make a
little money for himself,
How to accomplish these ends is
almost as much a problem as finding
the secret of Stradivarius.

Mark Anniversary
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Spencer, of RR
3, Bowmanville, parents of Mrs. Whit
ney Grose, of Wingham, received
many guests on the occasion of their
fiftieth wedding anniversary.
They were married at the bride’s
home at Frankford by the late Rev.
J. H. H. Coleman, of Frankford, in
1904. Mrs. Spencer was the daughter
of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Munns
and Mr. Spencer was the son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Alva Spencer, of
Belleville.
Mrs. H. M. Bateman, Oshawa, sister
of the bride, who was bridesmaid for
the couple 50 years ago, received with
them, and also Mrs. Robert Currie, of
Toronto, sister of the groom.
• Mrs. H. C. Huilbert (Molly), of To
ronto and Mrs. N. J. W. Grose (Kath
leen) of Wingham, daughters, received
with their mother and father Mr. N.
J. Whitney Grose and their only
granddaughter, 15 months old, pre
presented her Grandma and Grandpa
with a gold and black lace handker
chief and gold cuff links. Mrs. Fred
Roberts, of Toronto, presented them
with their corsage of gold roses and
boutonniere.
Their grand niece Beverley Crowells,
of Oshawa, opened the door to the
guests and their two nieces Mrs. A.
A. (Lillian) Crowells, of Oshawa and
Miss Margaret Currie, of Toronto,
served and were assisted by Mrs.
Frank Coy, of Toronto and Mrs. K/J.
Stroud, of Oshawa. Mrs. Fred Roberts
of Toronto, presided at the tea table.
The dining room table was set with
linen cloth and centred with a 3-tiered
wedding cake on plastic pillars. The
top tier was decorated with a large
white bell and white roses around the
cake, sprinkled with gold dust. It
was set in an illusion of white and.
gold tulle, flanked’ with white tapers
and 50-year gold inscriptions.
The-happy couple were recipients of
many gifts, flowers and remembrances
by their friends old and new, and by
the many friends who called to bring
them good wishes. This golden anni
versary was brought to a close with
pleasant memories and kind thoughts
for one of the oldest couples in the
community of Maple Grove.
1 Mr. and Mrs. Spencer spent a year
in Wirigham some three yeays ago,
