BRUSSELS CANADA HENS ARE LIKE THAT Men digging a water trench near St. Thomas have been working within three feet of the place where a guinea hen is sitting (o• setting) on a nest of eggs, and she refuges to quit. 11 a guinea ben is any way re. dated to a speckled hen or a white hen it a brown hen she is merely carrying into effect a trait which has long existed, ' Hens in the Tenth Concession were like that. Particularly tate speckled hen, although she never did her hatching this time of year. The maternal instinct used to stir about the time spring was getting ready to come.

And when site did there would be just as much determination as that St, Thomas guinea hen is showing. When the speckled hen started to duck she meant business; she was out for a greater chicken polpulation and was dead set against such nom sense as birth control, Often enough she'd take to a nest and just stay there. f1 she had a china egg under her or a door knob it wus all the same, and either or both seemed to suit her all right, As a rule we would let het- practise an the door knob or the china nest egg for a couple of days just to make sure she meant business, And she genearlly did. Then she'd be sup- plied with 15 eggs and she'd start on her 21 -day session in earnest. So there's really nothing new in the pereietrnce which that d.. Thames guinea hen is showing. 'When a hen gate right down to the serious businehs of setting and clucking it takes an awful lot to disturb her, DICING WITH DEATH The dire -cup is for daredevils who willingly bet their cash ort the caprice of the ivory cubes, but iu that giddy game of lift and death which is Ontario's truffle lottery everyone has a stake, willing or not. Doddering old nten, tiny tots—yes, even babies in arms, Last year, 26 toddlers up to four years of age met death in auto- mobile accidents almost as soon as they had learned to talk; 23 of these were wee pedestrians who perished even as they were lemm- ing to walk, Toxo out of every three persons 65 years and over who departed =S \APS410T CIJIL SCHOOL DAYS ARE HER[ The many school activities offer countless opportunities for snapping pictures that you wilt enjoy In years to come. 7F there was ever a snapahooter's 1 paradise, it's school for those who attend it. It may be a one -room school or it may be a great uni- versity. Wherever, whatever It may be, it's crammed with unbeatable picture possibilities. weinl.igI1t as well face the tact. of the mattsr-few sntipshooters snake the most of school's snap - shooting opportunities, Perhaps they are dazzled by the very wealth of the material at hand, More likely, they assume that some- body else is going to tape the pic- tures. And that's a fatal mistake. For nobody else can see things as Yen see them, And it's what you see that means most to you—and to the folks at home, now or years from now. The question, then, !show to make the meet of school's picture possi- bilities. A little planning will do the trick. First, about the right camera for school, Any camera will do, provid- ing It is clean and In good order and uses a size cf arm that Is easily available anywhere. If yours has a fast lens and a fast shutter, you'll have an advantage in taking shots at sporting events, but such a cam- era is not at all essential. With a little care you can make even the simplest box camera turn out en- tirely satisfactory pictures. Then, how can snapshooting be planned? All of it, of course, cannot bo planned, but, many of the most important shots can be, Why not aferk out ascenario, Hollywood fash- ion? First of all, whether school's just around the corner or a thousand miles away, you'll want a few good shots of borne, Thea a view or two taken on the way to school. Maybe those views seem commonplace now, but wait a few years. At school, of course, there are the obvious shots of the buildings, the grounds, neW classmates, teachers, old friends, sports, picnics, class ceremonies, and so on. It's a good idea to take then' so as to term a kind of continued story. Then, when they are mounted in your albinn, the pictorial story will flow along evenly, 1l really good collection of school pictures is bard to llnd, as any school year -hook editor will tell yen, Yet there's nothing much easier to tape; and few snapshots increase in value, year alter year, as surely as those taken at school. 157 John van Gunder from 1111s life in traffic accidents last year were on Root when their fatal moment arrived. There is a severe indictment " of reckless driving to be found iu these figures—tt charge of apathy if not of gross negligence, I,ittle eitildren cannot be held 116' countable for their actions; they ca1111ot be o1(3,6(te11 to take care of themselves in truffle.

Elderly persons are at a'1 equal disadvantage, The mind may be clear hut the footsteps falter and the necessary nimbleness has loft their lambs, Drivers must look out for them, too, if needless ilegirway fatalities are to be pre- vented. NOTE AND COMMENT If a decent man does something you thank wrong, It is probably what you would do if caught In the same situation, We doubt whether Nature Was very smart. She developed the one perfect equipment for the present-day pedestrian and then handed it to the kangaroo. Reform is difficult.

Pian Splendid Hunting Season teleileteee Prospects for big -game hunting aro unusually bright in Can- ada this fall. Reports covering the thousands of square miles of wilderness acoessible by Canadian Pacific Rahway show a plentitude of game and excellent conditions for hunting. Outfitters and guides across the country also report more reservations for hunting parties, both from Canada and the United States, than they have had for years. Wild sections of Canada lying practically in the back yard of civilization have a wide variety of big game in addition to many typos of game birds and smaller animals. Nova Scotia has moose, deur and bleak bear; New Bruns- wick, doer and black bear; Quo- beo, moose, caribou, deer and blatk bear; Ontario, moose, deer and black bear; Manitoba and Sas- katchewan, Meese, doer and cari- bou; Alberta and British Colum- bia, mountain sheep and goats, caribou, mooea, elk (wapiti), deer, and grizzly, brown and black bear; and the Yukon Territory and Alaska, practically the sono as British Columbia. An indication of the increased interest in hunting this year has been given by the number of ap- plications coming to the general tourist offices in Windsor Statten, Montreal, for eoplea of the two bunting booklets, "Open Seasons for Hunting” and "Fishing Wa» term and Garro Haunts,"
