When the Horse I
Ruled the World
If a neatly adjusted time ma-
chine could take you back to
the Main Street of an American
town in 1900, to look about you
with your present-day eyes,
your first exclamation would
probably be, "But look at all
those horses !"
For in that year, 1900, there
were registered in the whole
United States only 13,824 auto-
mobiles (as compared with over
44 million in 1950) and they
were really few and far be-
tween except in the larger cities
and the well-to-do resorts. . . ,
There were almost no paved
highways outside the cities, and
of course there were no road-
side garages or filling stations;
every automobilist must be his
own desperate mechanic. Prob-
ably half the men and women
of America had never seen a
car. When William Allen White
organized a street fair in Em-
poria, Kansas, in 1899, .the auto-
mobile which was brought there
for the occasion—and proved to
be the most exciting exhibit of
the fair—came from Chicago by
rail; it was the first automobile
ever to have crossed the Mis-
souri River.
But horses were everywhere,
pulling surreys, democrats, bug-
gies, cabs, delivery wagons of
every sort on Main Street, and
pulling harvesters on the trac-
torless farms out in the country-
side.—From "The Big Change,"
by Frederick Lewis Allen.

I wondered •when we, in this

Well, judging by last week's
weather the series seem to have
started. tall right — and we don't

ally, the weather is fine just
now, I have just come in after
roaming around and the, air was
lovely,, crisp and Old; and birds
were • singing , as if they were

Here's hoping the birds are
right, Nobody wants a repetition
of last. Friday's freezing rain,
Of course I,had to go down town
that day — to a funeral, no less.
For that little trip I ealled a
taxi and got a ride home with
a neighbour. I wouldn't let our
neighbour drive me up the lane
because I was afraid he might
slide into the ditch. So I got
out.,,a the car at the road, and
there I was, absolutely scared
to take step. Farther up there
was crunchy snow either side
of the lane — if I could only get
to it. , But that was a• big 'if'.
And then I saw Partner coming
down the lane to meet me. Was
I ever glad. I Might have been
on the ice yet if he hadn't ap-
peared on 'the scene
Before the ice storm there was
quite a bit of activity around
here what with visitors, insur-
ance agents and real estate men
coming along trying g out their
persuasive powers with Partner.
And while the weather was
good. our barnyard population
was considerably reduced. John-
ny rrived one day and took his
four heifers back home. The
next day we sent a veal calf
to market, and then we got an-
other one to take its place. The
hens • were laying particularly
well but because of the icy
roads the egg man did not col-
. lect the eggs. Can't say that I
blame him after all who
would Want to take a chance on
sliding off the road with a

oil that Partner uses to paint
the hen roosts. And then Joe
came to the house for sympathy
and first aid! Now I ask you —
what could a person do for a
poor little pussycat plastered
-with crankcase oil? It couldn't
be washed off. Coal oil, might
have helped but what would the
- coal oil have done to the poor
cat's skin? The best I could do
was to rub poor Joe with an old
towel. And then I had to put
him outside because we couldn't
stand the smell of him, around.

Q. Is it all right for a man to
remove his glove' to shake
han'G when, being ;introduced.
A.' Yes, if he can do so quickly
and without making it too ob-
vious. He need not,however, de-
,lay, the introduction and it is,
in good form for him 'to shake
hands with his 'glove on — nor
does he have to apologize for it.
Q. If. one -fails„to%hear a,name
in an introduction, is it all right
to ask the one who is making
the introduction''to repeat it?
A. You 'should' -address your
question to the person being in-
'troduced to you, as, "rip sorry,
but L did not hear your name
clearly."
Q. it''alWays*.ohligatoiy to
make‘a- call,on a good friend
who has heen, ,"liercaved?
A. Yes. A brief note of sym-
pathy, is sufficient before the
funeral, and a call of condolence
shOuld be made• soot) after the
funeral,.
Q. Is it all .right to ask, "Who
is this," or, ''What number IS
this," when making a telephost
Call and someone answers whose
voice you do not recognize?
A. This is too often done; and
it is extremely ill-bred, The
correct thing always is to ask
for the person with who'll one
wishes- to speak.
Q. If one is attenting church
services that are not familiar,
should one copy the movements
of the members of the congrega-
tion; or just remain stationary?
A, Do what the others do, and
you will show more courtesy and
will be less conspieuOus.
Q. When is the Speen for time
after-dinner ctiffee placed On
the table?
A. This spoon is brought in
with the coffee when it is
served,
Q. 'What is the correct size of

high, ft is usually plain White,

Imagine buying your fresh
eggs in rectangular shells — or,
actually without shells = egcs
which, in all probability, will
cost less, and will keep fresh
longer.
Such are the so-called "naked
eggs," now being sold in 12-
compartfnent plastic packets
and tested for consulter reac-
tign in several selected retail
outlets in Ithaca, N.Y.
Even though such plastic
containers sold at a five-:cent"
premium over other type's of
cartons, they accounted for as
high as 47 per cent of egg sales.
The same type of test was
repeated in Maine, with slight-
ly over half the eggs sold in
plastic cartons at the five-cent
premium, clear proof,that many
persons like to sec just what
they are buying, and axe will-
ing to pay extra for the privi-
lege Of doing so,
The 12 compartments' in the
packet, each holding an egg, or
two, measure two by three
inches, and are about, three-
quarters of an inch deep. A
Machine breaks open the eggs
and drops them into the indi-
vidual compartments, which
are then sealed by a machine
with strong filit. No hands
touch the eggs at any time.
The new shell-less eggs pro-
vide many advantages beyOhd
settling the "egg-old" question
of which are best—the broWn-
shelled or the white shelled
variety, The plastic "shells" are
perfectly transparent and. color-
less.

of the conventional divided
cardboard carton which it is de-
signed to replace.,

The new package also offers
a real opportunity for increased
sales of pee-wee eggs, for two
of these may' be placed in each

Stops Family Rows
Science has perfected a won-
derful new way of patching up
quarrels that sometimes take
place between newlyweds. In-'
stead of rushing off to her mo-
ther for sympathy, the tearful
young bride merely has to play
over the gramophone record of
her wedding.
This usually has a magical ef-
fect. Listening once more to the
solemn ceremony and the sin-
cerely 'uttered "I wills," she
quickly forgets the silly quarrel
which has led to a temporary
rift and welcomes hubby with
open arms when he conies home
from work. •
