Used Flypaper To catch „Wildcat It was known that life—or the absence of life---on Perim could drive a. Man mad. Rut wild it drive him Mad enough to make him want to stay there longer? That was the question that in- triaged, a subaltern's friends in Aden. Perim, a hot, arid, desolate island at the South end of the Red Sea, contained, at the time, nothing more than a thousand tons of coal for the Navy, and was garrisoned from Aden. All that. Pernn's officer-in- chargehad to do was to send report's and returns to Aden A month there Wa, enough to drive him mad, so that was the usual spell of duty, One subeitern, however, wzote to Men saying that he loved it, and asking if he might stay there for three months. Everyone was pleased, especially his relief. His reports and, returns came in :re- gularly, often with a note say- ing that still he enjoyed his stay in Perim. X11 went well until his CO. went home on leave —and met him in Piccadilly! The bright young officer had signed in ativanee all documents for three months ahead, and arranged for their periodic dis- patch. Then he had signalled an old tramp steamer and contract- ed with the skipper to take him home for ten pounds and bring him back for a similar fee before the expiry of his three months' "tour of duty." This is one of the recollections of Major Patrick Grant in his book "The Good Old Days," which is packed with breezy, entertaining stories of service in India, Mespot, Malaya, Africa and other parts. One of his most amusing an- ecdotes canoe .ne a colonel who, upon returning from a shoot, entered the mess one day, look- ing -very pleased. will himself: "What luck, sir?" Grant asked. "Just wonderful," the colonel replied, "I got a hare, 'a' par- tridge and a snipe with one bar- rel of my gun. "A snipe got up . . and, I shot him. The noise of the report alarmed a partridge which was squatting not far off, and he got up, and started flying away; but the snipe, in falling, transfixed the partridge through the back, and they both fell to the ground." "Wonderful, sin"- said Grant, "but what about the hare?" "Oh . . well, the recoil of my gun upset my balance and I sat on the hare," he answered. Difficult to deal. with, says the author, were tigers that turned up in, unexpected places. More than once one had to be chased off the Singapore golf course. 'One actually was found under the billiard table in a hotel in the middle of the city. Four naval officers playing snooker were unaware of its presence, until it was shot .by a Sikh po- liceman firing through a win- dow. A tall story? Yes — but true! The Major recounts with mer- riment the story of the night he and some friends were dining in a Nairobi hotel, when they heard a crash outside. This was fol- lowed by yells and growls and, grabbing anything that 'would serve as a weapon, everybodY made for the door. They had' difficulty in control- ling their laughter at the sight that greeted their gaze, Stagger- ing up the stepi, covered with dust, was a man, shouting: I've just run over a confounded lion!" Racing along the road on his bike, he'd rut into a lion that was lying in the road He was thrown from his machine and landed in the dust five yards away. The lion scooted up a side street in panic! Grant himself had a strange encounter with a bear while camping on a slope in the Niti. Pass to Tibet. As the animal charged down the slope at him, he leapt for his rifle,• but hadn't time to take aim. Luckily, the bear tripped over the tent ropes and went heads over-heels down the hillside, caterwauling and yowling all the way, Grant laughed, so much, he couldn't shoot. At the bottom the bear picked itself up' and ran for its life, In Ninon Rajputana, Grant was bothered by a wildcat which used, to come almost every night into his rooms. So long as it just killed rats, Grant didn't Mind, but it began scrounging around for food. That annoyed Grant, so One day he put several sheets of sticky flypaper OD the floors. That night the anirrial rettithe ed and Grant nearly fell Out of bed, laughing at its frantic ca, forts to free itself. It struggled Until it was covered with the Stuffy atiC1 then it Made for the jungle,• till-silt, spitting and yelling blue murder. While it WAS struggling Grant Could( have seized it and disposed of it; but he decided it had learned its lesson and let it get away. EN A MO SPLASH OP COLOlt ' It's easy to make a big splash with flowers even around a. summer cottage, country lane or other Otto where particular and constant care is Impossible, The best plan, in any of these cases, is to stick to things like petunias, nasturtherns, cosmos, marigolds, zinnias, Asters, and, similar plants which are not only easily grown but which also will bloom Steadi- ly for Weeks, With only little care at first these will practically look after themselves. It is best to have solid beds of one flower, though not necessarily the same color, for the showiest results and one should include some of the newest • and brightest varieties. A long 'bed of petunias about three feet wide will set off any driveway, and roughly cir- cular beds of zinnias, marigolds, or some of ,the smaller things, will make a wonderful show. Then, ter the Smaller garden there are alf Sorts: of tiny flowers like alyssum, portulaca, poppies and similar flowers which thrive even in poor soil and once well started will crowd out weeds and go on blooming until fall. SPREAD IT OCT Today's garden is no longer a feast and famine proposition, with more peas, beans or corn' than we can eat for a week and then none at all, or with a great showing of bloom in July but not a single flOwer in 'August. With a little planning- and a good seed catalogue there is no reason why flower* or vegetables should not be yielding something every day from tale first blooms and greens in the spring until long after the ground is frozen hard -next •fall. RUSHING THE,,SEASON The average person does not need any ‘encouragenient about rushing the season, Most of them ara far too inclined to tear out the first fine day and plant every single flower •and vegetable seed they have purchased. Sometimes they even plant in the rain and very often long before the soil is really fit to work. The ex- perienced gardener, however, knows that there are safe ways of rushing the season, little tricks that will produce flowers and vegetables perhaps a week or ten days ahead of the fellow next door. But they don't get . these early things simply by going out and planting too soon and, in the mud. They practice approved short cuts. Take such really warm weather things as tomatoes, melons or cucumbers among the vegetables or some of the more tender flowers. The experienced gardeners will risk a small plant- ing of these extra early, perhaps ten days or two weeks before the main plantings. But these early rows of plants will be pro- tected for the first weeks when there is danger of late frost. They will be covered with spacial wax paper covers, or panes of glass or perhaps' if one doesn't mind extra •trouble simp- ly covered 'loosely with news- papers at night. Then too, we may hurry growth with extra fertilizer or with specially prepared soil or for a few extra early tomatoes or petunias or we may get extra big started plants and for the first few weeks keep protected. LOW COST BUT VITAL Good vegetable or flower seed meta but a few cents per packet but is, is the most vital factor in gardening operations. Without good s9ed, especially suitable for Canadian conditions and climate, it doesn't make any difference how much we cultivate, spray, fertilize and water. Without good seed we can't possibly have a successful garden. Two workmen sat down to. eat their lunch and one began unwrapping a harrow parcel about half a yard long. "What's that?" asked his friend. "Well, my wife's away, so I made a pie for myself:" "A bit long, isn't it?" "Of course it's long — it's rhubarb pie." CAUSE NO STIR.

It seems not to be so, "The bus had all It.could do to get up the hill tonight," she said. In the continuing dispute over then and now, the severity of weather in former times seems to win, possibly because the old-timers shout louder, but truth-to-tell we didn't very Of- ten have a storm that stopped school, Another thing that compli- cates comparisons is the tendene cy to remember specific storms, instead of weather in general, and Kathie's remark led me to do just that. It was a storm we had in 1920 that came to mind —one that filled in the country- side and brought things to a halt, The snow was so deep the horses couldn't get around to "break the roads"; it plugged up a train so it stood three days; and it filled in our cross-country electric tracks so we had no trolleys for weeks. They finally let out the shoe factories so :the men, could shovel and get the cars going again, All the rest of the winter the trolleys ran down in a ravine with places fixed so passengers could go down on steps to get aboard. This storm was northeasterly, and began about ten o'clock in the morning while we were all at school. At noon-time the vil- lage youngsters got home to dinner all right, and came back bundled and scarfed for the af- ternoon session. But when things let out for the day we trudged off in snow that was • hip-deep and swirling in a bitter wind. I broke a path for the Pendle- ten girls. They lived above us on the road, and when I came to my driveway I went right on, with the Pendleton girl s wading behind Indian file, heads down and nobody talking. Then t backtracked, and the storm had already filled in our path. Mother had gone Out to throw scratch-grain to my hens and pick up the eggs, because the storm brought darkness early that night, so I didn't have to do that. I had my supper, and passed the usual winter evening at home with grammar and arithmetic, popcorn and apples, and a pitch game with Uncle. Then I took my kerosense lamp and headed for my attic room. The house was wired for electri- city, but they hadn't run a cir- cuit up into the attic, so I work- ed off coal-oil. The little room bad sloping ceilings, under the roof, and red roses on the wall- paper. The one single-sash win- dow faced northeast by east, and had to be taken out of the cas- ing if I wanted air. It was a wonderful boy's room, away up above the affairs of the family, but uninhabiltable by the newer standards of comfort. It was hotter than a sawmill engine all summer, and worse than Greenland's icy mountain all winter. But I made out, and always thought I had the best room in the house. A winter storm in that room was a magnificent experience, and this one I speak of topped them all. I didn't open my win- dow, of course, and it rattled all night in the casing. The thin plaster and the flowery wall- paper had no insulation quali- ties whatever, and beyond them were the pine roofers, the cedar How Can I?

How can I make moist crackers crisp? A, When crackers absorb moi- sture, they lose their crispness. Place them on a pie pan or bak- ing sheet, and ,b,ake in a hot oven for about ten minutes. Q. How can I remove stains from knives? A. The majority of 'stains on knives can be 'quickly removed by rubbing with a piece of raw potato. Q. How can I remove,, ink stains from wood? A. Moisten, with oxalic acid, let it remain for a few minutes, and then rinse. Do, not apply to finished wood or' furniture, as this removes the varnish. Q. How can I stop a leak in •a pipe until a plumber's services can, be secured? A .Mix `whiting and yellow soap into a thick paste, with a little water.

It was no joke that a boy could blow out his lamp and be under the covers before it got dark. The only heat in that bedroom was what I made myself by coiling up in a ball under the comfort- ables and blankets. I remember how the rafters creaked that night from the wind, and how the storm sound- ed like sandpaper on the shin- gles, as the wind whipped the stinging particles against the roof, But I slept' all right, and it was still snowing when Mo- ther opened the door at the foot of the attic stairs and called, "Hurry- — it's the most won- derful morning you ever saw, more snow than you ever heard of, and still coming!" I remember this pleased me. It' was fun to have a lot of snow. My clothes were well cooled down and I got them on in the usual nothing-flat. Down- stairs Mother had the kitchen light on, because snow covered the windows. "You'll have to hurry," she said. "It will take longer to get to school this morning." It did. I was really late, ex- cept that I fell in with the tea- cher at the post office, and she was late too, so she couldn't very well call anybody tardy, It snowed that day until mid- afternoon, and I'm sure if we'd had buses then we'd never have got home. We heard that a train was stalled on the main line, and they'd have to shovel 800 yards of track to get a snowplow through. Some people thought the trolleys wouldn't run again until spring. On the roads they went out around big drifts, right over fence. Neal Fitts made his expected witticism: "Wore out two snow- shovels, I did, , right down to the nubs, ,just getting to the shed." And the old timers were all saying that while this was a fair storm, it was nothing com- pered to what they used to have. — by Sohn Gould in The Chris- tian Science Monitor, GO INTO iv e UhSoltiNsBewSSa re f opgro ultosrsoenlf4.
