ilAtlite And Paddle
Their -Qiivn Canoe
tel •
A team of Ulster schoolboys,
members of a Aoyer Scout crew,
has just fashioned a gnarled 150-
year-old oak into atrim, stream-
lined, canoe., of the type used
1,000 years ago.
By thus setting the clock back
they are demonstrating the many
hitherto unknown qualities of
speed, reliabilitY and carrying
power posessed by ,prehistoric
dug-out canoes,
A Belfast cooper, Mr. C. Cal-
houn, taught the boys, how to
use a small adze and other tools
similar to those used by crafts-
men of ancient times.
It was tough work as these
lads quickly discovered, to de-
pend on such trials for all the,
stripping, trimming and hollow-
ing involved,
Their boat's design was pre-
pared by members of Dublin.
Museum's staff and based on
dug-out canoes, over 1,000 years
old, recovered intact from Lough
Neagh, Lough Eskragh, Lough
Erne and other neighbouring
lakes, bogs and river beds,
As their raw material, the boys
started With a lump of oak 16 ft,
long and 3 ft. thick, Working
in shifts, they built their "pre-
historic" craft in little more than
three weeks and it rode the water
beautifully.

tons.
Trawler Catches
A Submarine
The French fishing boat was
called Mon Reve — My Dream —
and her crew thought they were
dreaming' for a short while thee
other day. Suddenly, while theS7'"
were. fishing in a ' calm sea ins
the English Channel, their, boat
began to move backwards.
"Alba Dieu!" gasped the crew
as the boat continued astern at
a good twelveknots. Then, ima-
gining they ,had caught a sea
monster, they panicked and cut
the net.
As Mon Reve came to a stop
the "monster" appeared — it
was a French submarine, with
the fishing net draped around
its conning tower.
They Whistle
While They Talk
Peasants on Gomera, one of
the smaller Canary Islands, talk
to each other over distances of a
mile or more by a unique whis-
tle-language, developed _by the
need of having to communicate
from hilltop to hilltop without
crossing the intervening ravine.
A. Gordon - Brown, F.R.G.S.,
visiting the island, asked a man
lounging at a street corner in
San. Sebastian if he could de-
monstrate the a r t, whereupon
he whistled some notes which
meant "Ramon." Presently Ba-
lton, the village policeman, ap-
peared art the far side of thee
square, looking surprised and
inquiring who called him.
He then carried out a number
of whistled instructions such as
sitting down, raising his left
leg, drawing and flourishing his
baton, removing the hat from a
nearby man, and so on.
The whistler used the fingers
of both his hands, but Sonic
whistlers use no fingers at all,
Gordon - Brawn says in the
Union-Castle Guide "Madeira
and the Canary Islands." The
whistle is shrill,. varying bi ti-
'tensity and resembling, a canary
in full song.
A Spanish estate owner told
hint that his :foreman habitually
whistled orders to distant la-
bourers. He demonstrated how
the name "Antonia" was whis-
tled, and after two or three
repetitions it was Possible to

Those insurance ,
Slot Machinks
Among the busi'es't slot mach-
ines lin the land last month were
the dries which' dispensed flight
insurance in air terminals. One
authority estimated that well
over T50 per cent of all air pas-
sengers took out policies and that
about -one-third of them fed
quarters into the automatic ma-
chines,
Not many trip policies are ever
cashed in, even though insurance
companies estimate that crashes
since November may cost them
$10 inAllion in claims. For a single
quarter, a traveler gets $6,250
worth of _protection during his
trip. For ten quarters he can buy
$82,500. But if he does business
at the insurance sales counter,
he CO take out trip policies
worth about $285,000. That's the
amount Julian H. Frank pur-
chased before he and 33 others
were killed in an airliner Jan. 6.
Frankaalso held a $500,000 life-
insurance policy, but neither of
them ':will pay off if it can be'
proved 'that he caused the crash
by exploding a bomb. Most poli-
cies carry a clause making them
invalid if the holder kills him-
self within two years of the date
he takes it out. The U.S. Congress
may :consider taking action to
prohibit heirs of suicides in a
sabotaged plane from collecting
on any' policy.
These suspicions about Frank,
toupled with, a second alleged air
sabotage-insurance plot involv-
ing an ex-convict, also led to sug-
gestions that the slot machines
be banned, Insurance experts
doubt that such a step will be
taken. For one thing, banning the
machines would inconvenience
the many passengers who make
last-minute decisions tOs buy in-
surance policies.' For another, a
mad would-be bomber could al-
ways buy insurance at a counter.

pect that he was an impudent

no, ,.she's not married, But by
pretending to be she had called
the stranger's bluff. The amaz-
, ing impudence of some people is
enough to take your breath
away.
/ Californian police reported the
case of a well-dressed young man
who walked into a gunsmith's
shop and asked to see a revolver.
He was shown one.
"Fine," said the young man. "I
shall also want some bullets ;to
fit it." The shop assistant pro-
duced some and the customer,
smiling pleasantly, loaded the
gun with them, "to make quite
sure," as he remarked, "that they
fitted." They did.
The young , man then levelled
the revolver at the scared assist-
ant, robbed 'the till of the day's
takings, and vanished after wav-
ing good-bye, revolver In hand.
In Ireland they tell the story
of the colossal nerve of two men
who, wearing workmen's green
aprons, walked into' • a court
while an important case was be-
ing tried. They carried a ladder.
The' judge, learning that the
men were, seeking permission to
carry out "some important work"
while the court sat, declared
irritably: "Very well. But tell the
men to be quick about it!"
The men hoisted the ladder
and quickly took clown the valu-
able court clock at the rear of
the judge's bench. Neither they
nor the clock were ever seen
again.
In another court a judge
,chanced to announce during a
long hearing that he had left
his watch at home,
When he got home that night
he learned from his wife that
she had given his gold watch to
the "messenger from the court"
who had called. The impudent
thief was never caught.
In Oklahoma 'City another
cheeky thief strolled into a res-
taurant and calmly took several
bites, out of a customer's ham-
burger. Then he strolled out, But
he was caught by the police later
that day and fined $10.
Some years ago a man who
escaped from a prison hospital in
Franee wrote to the governor:
"I owe you something for medi-
cal care, sir. Kindly- deduct it
from the $1500 the police took
from me `when I Was arrested,"
Recently a Welsh woman
whose husband had been arrested
visited the police. station and
begged the kind-hearted serge-
ant's permission to bring him a
meal, adding that he would never
eat anybody else's cooking, Per-
mission was given.
Oil her way out she passed the
police station kitchen and saw a '
pound and a half of sausages and
seine bacon lying on the table.
Picking then up she took them
home, Cooked theni and brought
them back for her husband's
dinner. Only after he had eaten
them was the theft discovered.

Bought Gun — Then
Stuck Up Gunsmith
As he stood on the crowded
railway station platform, the
smartly dressed young man sud-
denly became interested in a
group of relatives and friends
who were saying their farewells
boisterously to a couple of ra-
diantly happy newlyweds.
The lovely little bride kissed
with special fondness an attrac-
tive girl in blue who had been
her bridesmaid that day.
aaSee you when we're back from
oUr honeymoon,, Susie, the
young man heard- the briclsay.
"Thanks for everything. It was
wonderful!"
The young man found himself
becoming fascinated by the good
looks and charm of the brides-
maid. He "decided to miss his
train — the next one — and fol-
low her.
Susie moved off with the group
but outside the station they
separated. Some went -ter their
cars. Susie, however, hailed a
taxi and was whisked away, but
the young man was not caught
napping.
"Follow that cab and don't lose
it whatever` happens," he snap-
ped as he darted into another
taxi. "This is important. I'm a
private investigator," he told the
driver as the taxi sped ,In pur-
suit, "Keep on his tail."
The driver obeyed. When the
girl alighted in a suburban street
the young man was right behind
her.
Swiftly' he drew level with
her, raised his hat and noted' she
was already feeling in her hand-
hag, presumably for the key to
her flat — one of a big block
just ahead of, them.
"You are Susie, of course!" he
cried. "What a coincidence that
we should live in the same block
of flats. I was at the wedding
but you didn't notice me," he
added, smoothly. "Gee, you lOok
stunning!"
Susie was, taken aback. "You
are a friend of Mary----?"
"I know bride as well as
bridegroom," he declared. "What
a wonderful couple! One night
, she showed 'me a snapshot of
you and. I knew you were the
only girl for me. How strange
we' should meet for the first time ,
like this .on the day of Mary's,
wedding)'
He accompapied her up sever-
al flights' of 'stairs — then he
made his mistake.
"I live at No. 282," he remark-
ed. "But unluckily I've just real-
ized I left my coat behind at
the reception and my key's in it.
