It . well, I don't know how it is, but' it seems to have TOO MUCH flavour!" There was nothing wrong with our butter, mind you, it was just plain, fresh creamery butter, but it certainly had more flavour than margarine. So there we have another angle to the butter problem quite apart from what it costs, Incidentally farm eco- nomists claim that' butter, sell- ing at 65 cents a pound cost on the average $1.08 to produce. And margarine advertised this week at 29 cents! But just wait — instant dry milk powder is coining on the market.

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.

"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.

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. • Ph-Of-Size'Ina' tery Look slim, trim, taller -- thanks to those wonderful prin- cess lines 'hat accomplish won- ders for the shorter, fuller fig- are!

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 government licences. Men Were employed to spy on people to see that they did riotedriiik it.

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. (This editorial, it so happens, was written in long hand.
