The. Romans had a similar saying, whith translated, read "I am undone. I have upset: my cart." Experts are of the opinion that the expressi in came into being in England centuries ago as the result of a schoolboy's inept trans- lation of the Roman line. ie Plautus 8 play "Epidicus," In translating he probably made the cart an apple cart in a moment of waggisa humor, This rendition of an age-old expres- sion became popelar on bath sides of the Atlantic at about the same time. It was first recorded in Britain in 1796 by Francis Grose in the second edition of his "Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue." And it was used about the same year in New Hamp- shire by the political each let, Thomas G. Fessenden, in an attack en Thomas Jefferson and his policies, * * Felt, being simple in structure, is probably the oldest fabric used by man, and antedates spinning and weaving. THE GIST OF IT reveals that it was already known when Homer wrote his poems, Its invention is generally ascribed to the ancient shepherds of Asia although there are several popular stories as to how this or that king, saint or monk accident- ally discovered felt by o.oserving that wool in his sandals or shoes became matted by moisture and the pressure of foot. St. Clement, whose feast day is November 23, is generally consider- ed the patron saint of hatters and feltmakers because of an apocryphal story attribtuing the invention of felt. to hini. Prosecuted by the Romans, Clement, who was to become the fourth pope of Rome, fled for his life. His feet became blistered and sore on the jounrey and he lined the soles of his shoes with wool to ease the pain. At the end of the jorney he found that the wool had been trans- formed into felt by the heat, moisture and movements of his feet, However felt had been known and used long before St. Clement lived. Today, felt consists Jf wool, hair, fur or other fibrous materials matted together without spinning or weaving. Different fibers are moistened, heat- ed, roiled, pressed, glued or stretched to make this material. The result is put to many uses, the most highly finished types being use. in hats. Shakespeare had something to say about felt, as he did about most everything we know. "In King Lear" he had made the king say: "It were a delicate stratagem to shoe a troop of horse with felt." And that's THE GIST OF IT for this time! SPECKLED TROUT AND ITS CONSERVATION The farm boy with his cane pole and worms, the city sportsman with his expensive fly rod and his many different trout flies each supposedly an exact imitation of the Insects of the stream, are living witnesses to the fact that the speckled trout is one of the most popular of our game fish- es. Streams suitable to the speckled trout are rapidly vanishing before the inroads of man, consequently con- servation of this beautiful fish is becoming a concern amongst inereas- ing thousands of our citizens.

You may be .surprip- ed to learn this man's first introduc- tion to the world of sports came through boxing. My story goes back to the early 1900's . . , to a small town spread in the heart of the mid-west prairies, On a great summer evening a box- ing match is to be staged in an im- provised ring on the outskirts of the village. A sturdy professional fighter named Frankie Brown is scheduled to meet the tow-headed youngster who is the pride of the town's boxing fans, The fighters climb into the ring, which is nothing but a square strip of canvas with ropes strung between the four Iron posts at the corners. Across the 'ring, the sturdy profess- ional fighter grins broadly at the tow-headed lad, who smiles shyly in return. After the fight starts, the faces of the fighters are grim and sev.. The tow-head is lean and rangy . „ and the delighted spectators cheer iris fast F FLOORS tIREFINISIVED 4. THE WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES NORTH HURON JR FARMERS MEETING The North But= B. 13.

Scott Mac- Kenzie, Moderator of the General As- sembly, of the Presbyterian. Church in Canada, will pay a visit to Huron- Maitland Presbytery and to his home church on Wednesday, April 25th., when he addresses two meetings in Ashfield Church. The congregation of this church and of Knox Church, Ripley, will be hosts to a dinner meeting of the • presbytery, which will be addressed by Dr. MacKenize. At 8 o'clock in the evening there will be a public service when the Ashfleld-born cleric who has :achieved the highest honour his church can bestow on him will speak. The service will be in the hands of presbytery of which Rev. Robert G. McMillan of Goderich is moderator. 'While this is by no means the first time on which Dr. MacKenzie has spoken in the church of his boyhood, it will be his first visit there since being elected Moderator last June.

But Frankie Brown is a skillful master of the ring too, After , pounding a series of sledge hammer blows into the tow-head's body, he suddenly shifts the attack to the head, Delivering punch after punch with rapid fire speed and tremen- dous power. At every moment, he seems to he hammering away In a vulnerable spot. It's a close, clean, hard fight. . . . two natural born fighters pitted against one an- other . . . each with fine attack . . . each with sufficient defensive ability to prevent the other from winning too many points. There is. only one possible outcome for the bout. . . and even the yelling onlook- ers agree when it is declared a draw. After the match, the tow-head starts for home, but he's gone only a few steps, when Frankie BroWn catches up with him and says; "Say, you threw too many punches tonight, but you've got a smart left. . . you pack a wallop. . .You think on your feet, You'd go places in the prize ring!" A little shyly the tow-headed thanked him and suggested stopping at a nearby lunch room. - As they eat, Frankie Brown talks on and on in glowing terms of his great ring career the tow-head can have for the taking, His companion listens in silence, munching on a sandwich , . .and then replies. ."It's no good tryin' to talk me in to coin' into the prize ring, Frankie. Maybe I will some day, but not now. You see, I'm goin' to school and get an educa- tion. Maybe I'll find something 1 like better 'n boxing. Ever think there might be something YOU'D like better?" Frankie Brown shakes his head . . something better than cox- ing! Not for him! But the tow-head persists. . "Look I like boxing. I like it as well as you do! But the ring life of even a champ is short, and after it's over, a man ought to be prepared to do something else, So wity don't you do like me... go to school? Till nearly midnight, the two de- bated the question . . and at last they leave the lunchroom, Frankie Brown shakes the tow-head's hand and says . .
