crime waves, even wars, They
claim that in the past sun-spots
have coincided with gales,
floods, mysterious a i r crashes
and the fading - out of short-
wave radio.
When the early astronomers
first detected am-spots — the
Chinese first noted them about
A.D. 170 — scientific men of the
day ridiculed the suggestion
that the sun could have
"blemishes" on its surface. But
telescopes. later confirmed there
were • rents in the glowing at-
mosphere.
A Russian scientist some years
ago insisted that all human des-
tiny was controlled by sun-spots.
He pointed but that' the sun was
a colossal radio transmitter and
that its "radio waves" speed
across space in vast streams and.
at speeds close to that of light
All this increased electric en-
ergy pouring upon .Your planet

This morning I was lying
awake thinking about daylight
saving time which. Will. soon be
With us once again, And I was
thinking what a handicap it is
to the fat:Men and bow little 411,
ference it makes to anyone else.
And because it makes so little
difference to town and city folk
surely greater consideration
could be given to the farmer
when yen consider the incon-
venience he suffers from April to
October. Usually he falls in line
by putting back the crock but
that doesn't dry the dew on the
grass, And cows cannot be put
out to pasture on wet alfalfa or
they'll bloat, Nor can hey be
raked or baled until it's dry,
That means farmers lose hours
of preeious time, day after day,
week 'after week. No one, other
than the farmer, takes the least
bit of notice. And yet, surely the
farmer's work is more important
than the office worker's pleasure,
The farmer is having a hard
enough time as it is, with high
production costs and low returns.
Prices paid for eggs and market
hogs are ridiculously low and
many a farmer now faces the
necessity — and the expense —
of drilling a 'new well during
the coming season, And then to
have DST wished upon him once
again. Must the majority always
win when the decision is so
definitely against the interests of
the minority — that is, the far-
mers?

Early Millinery
It is not a young industry, mil-
linery. It dates back to 1798
when little, twelve-yr.-old Betsy
Metcalfe, who lived in Provid-
ence, R.I„ saw an imported straw
bonnet in a local shop window,
Eetsy liked it, so she went home,
slit and plaited some oat straw
and made herself a copy of the
hat. A good, Yankee, Betsy de,
cided to sell her handiwork; she
priced it at half the cost of the
imported bonnet. That was
enough for her neighbors, They
demanded that she make more.
Twelve-year-old Betsy thereby
become the mother of the Ame-
rican millinery industry. Soon,
people all over New England
started manufacturing straw bon-
nets, too. Two Boston families
started doing it in 1799; they
made $340 worth of hats in 1800
In Medfield, Mass., two owners
of a general store arranged to
take straw braid instead of cash
in payment for their goods, They
gave the straw to neighbour-
hood women who sewed it into
bonnets at home.
The industry greW rapidly....
American women were not con-
tented, however, with just straw
bonnets. They demanded — and
got — hats made out of all sorts
of other, materials. That meant
the development of, a new kind
of industry,
These • new hats were created
from flowers to feathers... Orig-
on a buckram or wire frame.
They were trimmed-,with a widen'
variety of ornaments that ranged
from flowers to feather... ;Orig-
inally made-to-order, by 1850
they had become a factory item...
Style, naturally, was, the one
doctrine of the millinery indus-
try. One year, American women.
were given ornate hats with in-
tricate trimmings. A year later,
as taste varies, they wanted sim-
ple, almost untrimmed hats. --

Donald B. Robinson.

Two of the most spectacular
sun-spots ever seen from the
earth were observed by millions
of people recently. Each spot or
"pimple" was about 100,000 miles
in diameter — more than four
times bigger than the earth.
The' white-hot vapours of a
sun-spot appear dark only in
contrast to the even, greater
blaze of heat around them. As-
tionomers say that they now
know how hot sun-spots are —
.1,000 degrees Fahredheit com-
pared with 6,000 in the rest of
'the sun.
Sun-spots are great tornado-
like storms within the sun's at-
mosphere. Intensive study by
scientists of the sun's behaviour
shows, that these internal hur-
rican'es operate in cycles of about
eleven years.

had results of terrifying dimen-

burst into flarnes.
He extricated himself arid'
stumbled off to the nearest tele-

three vehicles were blazing men,

the blazing debris injuring two
