cycles or on foot— they are li-
able to be• any piece, obviously
through lack of trataing. Safety
education should begin with the
parents but it the parents don't
observe tile rules of the pad,
what can one expect from the
children? In an accident the
fault doesn't always lie with the
motorist, Another thing for
pedestrians to, remember, par-
ticularly the older folk who are
usually in dark clothing, that
bright sun can be as blinding
to the motorist as glaring head-
lights. -Under such conditions
pedestrians should be particu-
larly cautious in crossing streets
or highways. Well, there you
have it . and you have heard
or read it a dozen times before.
But did it register? That is what
counts.
Well now, here is a good piece
of 'news, be the weather what it
may. Last Monday Partner
heard a crow for the first time.
As for starlings they are con-
gregating in the tops of the
trees, singing away in great
style, Starlings can sing you
know — some people think they
can't. Whether they have any
distinctive song is hard to tell
as they have a way of imitating -
so many other birds. At this
time' of year one is likely to mis-
take the starling for a robin,
Don't let it fool you — just be
sure that bird you hear has a
red breast before you joyously
announce the arrival of the first
robin.
And here is another piece of
good news I have been saving
to tell you. Of course it may not
be news to all of you, but it
will be to some, especially if you
have shared my experience of
cooking potatoes every way you
could think of and still had
them go black. Well, we don't
need to worry any more. We
can have potatoes white 'and
mealy, just the way- we like
them, by adding a little vinegar
to' the water in which they are
boiled. Not much— not more
than a teaspoonful. Try it —
you'll love the result. But don't
give me the credit — it was a
clerk in a grocery who gave me
the tip. And I gladly pass it on
to you.
But here is a little item that
is our own discovery, and it is
quite significant. We have found
that people 'who always use
margarine lose their taste for
butter. Margarine is practically
tasteless;eall it does to the pal-
ate is take away the drynese
from one's breed Or toast. This
was revealed to us by some
young. friends who were here
'to supper one night. The con-
versation got around to the sub-
ject of butter versus margarine.

After hearing reports of the
awful snowstornes in Manitoba
it seems incredible that we were
annoyed yesterday because. it
was warm and sunny! "Annoy-
ed ... because it was warm and
sunny?" Yes. but wait until you
hear why. For several weeks
Bob and Joy had been wanting
us to go down some Sunday for
a turkey dinner. The catch was
this: The turkey was in the
fre'ezer so we had to let than
know Friday night if we were
coming on Sunday. All last
week we planned to go as of
' yesterday. Then came Friday.
AU through the day the weather
forecast wag for mild weather
with some snow, changing to
rain or freezing rain on Sunday.
That fixed it. There was already
quite a bit of, snow around the
barn so that melting snow, pins
more 'wet snow, pint rain or
freezing rain, meant plenty of
shovelling for partner, ditches to
run to keep the water from
backing up into the stable, I
phoned Joy and explained the
situation. Then came Saturday
— dull, thawing a bit, but no
rain, although it was still pre-
dicted. Then Sunday . • . a love-..
ly day, the nicest Sunday one
could possibly wish for. So now
think you will understand.
The "probs" couldn't have been
more Wreng.
Motorists were certainly tak-
ing advantage of the good
. weather yesterday, A steady
hum of cars on the highway , all
day long. Different from test
years ago when ,the travelling
public 'avoided this road becanse
of its numerous potholes. The

Spent 26 Winters
Snug to tEs Bed
It was in the autumn of 191,0
that twenty•eight-year-old Ar-
thur Gehrkc, an inn-keeper in
Watertown (U.S.), made a dis-
covery.
Tired of long and dreary win-
ters, he tried staying in bed for
days on end, and discovered not
only that it was a most com-
fortable way of passing the win-
try days, but also that the Olen-.
mate pains which always start-
ed with the cold weather didn't
trouble him in bed.
He thereupon decided to close
the inn ands sPend the entire
winter in bed. He told his wife
of this . deeision — and thus be-
gan a long series of "battles" be-
. tween them, Naturally, the de-
cision meant that his wife had
to . do all the household work,
and naturally she rebelled,
Yet all efforts and schemes to
get him out of bed were unsue,
cessful. Physical, effort, even with
rolling pins, could :not match
Arthur Gehrke's. strength.

"What, and .go without pay-
hie Never!"
Threats e of not giving him his
meals were no use, •either, since
the • subStantial sums of money
earned by. the inn during the
summer months were banked in
Arthur's name. It was simple —
no meals, no money! Nagging
and pestering, female wiles., wo-
manly charins -- all failed.
Then Arthur decided to go to
bed every:. winter. For twenty
six years' he hibernated with un-
failing regularity.
Disaster struck in the early
spring of '1937.,' His wife, worn
Out with looking alter him,, be-
came ill suddenly and died.
Dismayed, • Arthur was forced
to get up to attend to the funeral
and other matters. The tasks
accomplished, he went back to
bed, leaving a new maid in
charge. But he had not allowed
for the. publicity .which followed
the disclosure that his wife had
died looking after a lazy • hus-
band who spent all winter in
bed. Soon his inn - was packed
with sightseers who, agog with
curiosity, wanted to glimpse the
"human hibernator."
Eventually 'some ' of them
stoirued into his bedroom, and
only when_ the irate inn-keeper
launched himself in his night-
shirt at a raucous group of wo-
men did. the uninvited guests
depart hurriedly.
Then Arthur .summoned the
and .gave her instructions
to bar • the doors. This done, he
returned to bed to finish his in-
terrupted six-months' "nap,"
Coffee Grounds
For Divorce
Coffee is up in price and, ac-
cording to experts, will be still
dearer. ,to a case of greater de-
mand. All over the world people
are drinking more coffee,
In some parts of Arabia people
drink as many as 30 cups of
coffee a day. The fact that one
husband there failed some time
ago to keep his wife supplied
with coffee was considered
cruelty and legal grounds for
divorce,
In Europe they have been
drinking coffee since 1683, when
the Turks were defeated at
Vienna. An Austrian soldier was
rewarded by his Emperor for
bravery by being allowed to
take anything he. Wished from '
some of the Turks who were
his prisoners.
He took from one Turk a
recipe which showed how !'per
feet coffee" could be breWed,
When ehe was demobbed; the
Austrian opened a coffeeehouee
in Vienna—the forerunner of
coffee-houses all over the world.
London used to have 3,000
coffee-houses, Today they are
becoming popular again in the
capital and other big cities.
Before Brazil had:coffee as a
national beverage many people
Used it as a household medicine
against diseases, Seine people
there still Use coffee as a general
disinfectant and eye lotion.
At one time coffee drinking In
Germany 'was permitted to only
a few very wealthy ;holders of

that they did riotedriiik it.

A newly ferMed organization,

has set met to restore legibility

This news alone is almost
heartening as the innovation pf
the "typewriter signature"
which took place around 1918,
If the endeavor succeeds we will
have witnessed a eeVelietion
comparable to the invention of
the typewriter itself,
Not that .had handwriting tea
problem of the present day
alene. There is, of course, the
to,r y (perhaps apocryphal)
which Mark Twain tells about
Horace Greeley's ,atrocious
handwriting, Answering one of
his loyal subscribers, a gopd
lady in Kansas whose son had
acquired an obsession for mak-
ing turpentine wine, Mr, Greeley
sent a letter by his own pen. It
appeared completely illegible,
and the key sentence was de-
ciphered at first: "Boston, botany
cakes, fOlony" undertakes' but
who shall allay?"'
This seemed highly irrelevant.
Another and third attempt got
rza better results, "Butter but
any cakes, fill any undertaker,
we'll wean him from his filly."
Finally, one' of Mr. Greeley's
clerks sent a, translation: "Butt
diet, bathing, etc. etc., followed
uniformly, will wean him from
his folly,"
We know a man who, in his
childhood, was first taught ver-
tical writing, then backhand,
then "Spencerian." The result
must be seen to be believed.
