Identical twins and handsome Flying Officers Bernqd, at

' saying about "birds of a feather." • In this case, they fly together,,,
with the RCAF's No, 2 Fighter Wing at Grostenquin, France, where
they have just received their "Mach Busters" diploma for exceed-..
ing the speed of sound in a Canadian-built Sabre jet, Mach (pro-,
nouneed Mock) is a mathematical designation for the speed of
sound, which varies at different altitudes.
A Highland Scottish pretteher
whose native speech . was the
Gaelic, carried over a . mannerism
of that tongue intO-English when
he talked. This consisted of: in-
sorting a personal pronoun after
a proper noun. On one occasion
his text was. "the devils goeth
about as a -roaring lion seeking
whom 'he would . devour," .„.
"My friends," he began, ,"We
shall treat his text under three
questions, First, we will deal.
with a question of itlentity, and
ask ourselves who the devil he is.
Then we will consider geo-
graphical problem,. where the devil •
he was going, and finally we shall
face the question, what the, devil
he is roaring about.':--Churcih

Ord in Ontario, according to the
Yield Crops Branch, Ontario Pe- , pattment, of Agriculture, Finding
soil and climate to its liking and
!the natives tolerant to its presence,
i• it has taken up permanent regi-
!•dence iu parhe, rotidshics, along
railroads, and in permanent and
long term pastures.
Its Uppearance, tall, coarse,
crowned with a bright yellow flow-
or like a dandelion, does not add
to the beauty of the landscape,.
even before the downy seed heads
form in early July, These seed
heads, incidentally, are round like
the dandelion, only larger, , abut
one half the size of a baseball, The
seeds, of course, are airborne and
parachute down to invade new
grassland. In the bud stage, and
when the flowers are closed at
night, the shape of the head re-
sembles a goat's beard, which is
the reason for the popular name.
Goat's-beard is a perennial, with
a single, slender tap root which
does not stand cultivation. The
plant is filled with thick milky
juice not palatable to livestock; so
it is not controlled by grazing.
In its early stages of growth,
before budding, it is vulnerable to
2,4-D, but is not readily discovered
at this time; since it resembles
coarse grass, However, this is the
best time to spray pasture land, not
only for goat's-heard, but for a
variety of ether weeds which are
most susceptible at that time..Cut-
tiog is only successful before' !blos-
soming and must he repeated. fre-
quently, since it grows back and
blossoms after repeated mowings.
Stray plants should be pulled and
destroyed. Blossoms will ripen and
spread seed after cutting or pull-
ing.
Goat's-beard prefers to travel by
air, but it is not above hitchhiking
on motor vehicles. The downy seeds
cling to the sides of wheels and
only let go when the vehicle stops
down many miles from
Architect Frowns
On Tall Girls
In Flat Shoes
Tall 'girls who slouch about the
city streets in flats and an in-
feriority complex would do well
to study a few basic principles of
design, according to a well-known
architect.
He points out -that a baste fact
of architecture is that appearances
are usually deceiving. Take a look
at any public building that has
Greek columns and imagine those
columns without a base, 'he sug-
gests. They would look much
taller and certainly less pleasing.
That's what happens when a
tall girl tries cut doWn her
height by wearing flat-heeled
shoes all the time. She would do
well, instead, to wear heels that
are two and one-half inches high.
These make her taller certainly,
but paradoxically, They make her
appear less tall — because she
looks more graceful and properly
proportioned.
So, if you are 5-foot-S oe
keep this in mind when buying a
new pair of leather pumps or
sandals for spring. The new mid-
heel — which is 2 'to 21/4 inches
high — is perfect for the tall girl.
It's high• enough, without being
too high, gives the illusion of real-
ly high heels through skillful de-
signing, aria. is as comfortable as
a flat walking shoe.,
You can have this mid-heel in
pumps or sandals in every type of
leather you've ever heard of —
and a. few that you may not have
seen yet,.sech as printed and em-
bossed leather, punctdred
corkette and reversed calf,
But whatever you choose buy
shoes that. fit well. The most
beautifully designed hods in the
world won't 'improve your Appear-
ance if they make your feet ache.,
And it' you want the good fit •to
last, be sure that soles as well as
uppers are of ,leather, Leather
soles' don't spread, thus prevent
distortion of the shape of the en-
tire shoe.
The girl who wants to out her
height but still look trim should
also carry a fairly large, flat ree-
tangular-shaped leather hag. If
she isn't too thin, a contour belt
of bright-colored leather would
also help,
Architecture also has lessons for
the short, stocky girl, She often
teeters around in high heels
thinking they make her taller
when, actually, they only call at-
tention to her lack of stature.
The effect is something like put-
ting a chrysanthemum in full I
'Moons in a bud vase. To, avoid
