"Dear Anne Hirst: k'or nearly

have enjoyed a very happy mar-
riage. It was built on trust and
love... —Bet row I feel that I
do not trust him,
"During the season, he tam a
friend went hunting regularly.
found that, one week end, they
dated girls! Naturally I was an-
gry and jealous, and let my hue-
band know it. Lately he seems
overly -attentive to single girls;
we quarrelled and he has prom- t
rsed he will never try to date
again, but I don't feel I can be -
Neve him. Should I let him have
a couple of nights off to go hunt-
ing again? I'm afraid to.
"He trusts me, he has no rea-
son not to. Pie's good to me, but
I can't rid myself of this feeling
of doubt... His family think
wonderful for the change in
him since we married—in fact,
his mother told me not to be too
good to hint, Perhaps I have

" him—if he's going to be sus-

• once; whether he repeats the
a offense is, I believe, largely up

walnut, burnt umber and Van-
dyke brown.
Q. How can I make transper-
nt cement for glass?

Monkey Business
There is alt Old saying on the
Rods of Gibraltar that "when
the last monkey dies, the British
will leave the .Rock,"
It seems that the Government
have no intention of putting this
old,sugerstition. to the test, ,for
thel4s4t ezltty made an extra; el
brise stet meat to feed thisiai -
mog1 red but slowly ,41,ying„
bregt i gssgeraci, says that the, Gr .
hlelt'itr^ `rimbnkeye have given the
alarm several tames When inva-
ders tried to dislodge British
troops from the Rook,
Meanwhile, 1n mats, war has
been deelcared on monkeys, For
centuries they have been allowed
to ravage farmlands without re-
prisal, for India followed a poli-
cy of non-violence against ani-
mals. After these years of non-
interference, '.hey had multi-
plied until the': was a ratio of
one monkey to every seven per-
sons.
Now, however, the old policy
is being reversed ersed in an attempt
to save badly -needed crops, and
the Indian Go rernment is offer-
ing a bounty for each monkey
destroyed
But not alt India's monkeys
have a price '• l their heads. A
select group of them have been
trained to work on tea farms by
picking the leaves from ledges
which defy Men's climbing abil-
ity. The moneeys are lowered
on ropes to pick the leaves, re-
puted to hemean g th h

in the tv.nrld. They are hoisted
up at intervals, given a few pea-
nuts as a reward, and lowered
again,
In the Coco «tt groves of Ma-
laya, too monkeys are earning
their keep. They are taught to
climb the trees and pick the
ripe coconuts. Even wild man-
keys can be used for this pur-
pose. When in the upper branch-
es of coconut trees they are pelt-
ed with stones from- the ground.
In retaliation, they hurl clown
coconuts on their prosecutors.

HRO \IeLLS
Gvondoltne P c4arke.
Sometimes—when I think of it
—I make a few notes during the
week about things I might like
to mention in this column. Just
now 1' looked over last • week's
notes -and I laughed. They made
sense to me but I wondered what
,anyone else would make out of
' them. Here they are. "Home and
Country . , Frances Shelley
Wees , . , tractor radio , . .
hydro -wind."
Well, let us take them one by
one and see if they make sense.
- "Home and Country" . . I
jotted that down after attending
our last Women's Institute meet-
ing at which I received my copy
of the current issue of Home and
Country. And wiry wouldn't I
mention it? It is wonderful for
W.I. members to have such a nice
little magazine for their very
own. With Ethel Chapman as edi-
tor it has improved tremendously
—and such improvement was
long overdue. But I am not say-
ing that in a critical sense—the
old H, and C. was as good as it
could be under the circumstances.
Time and experience are neces-
sary for the publication of even
a small magazine and, until last
year, I have an idea that Home
and Country was anybody's baby,
But now it has an editor all its
own. Actually, there is no reason
why this magazine should not be
interesting and informative. Cer-
tainly
ertainly there can be no lack of
material from which to fill its
pages. W.I. Branches are now
found in almost every district in
Ontario and from each one of
them stories of worthwhile
achievement are bound to emerge
from time to time. It is an in-
centive to every branch to know
what other branches are doing
and in Home and Country we
are given that information, to
say nothing of District rallies and
conventions.
• Funny, how things work out.
I am quite sure many readers of
the Farmer's Magazine were
quite upset when Miss Chapman
resigned from the staff of that
publication. And then carne news
of, her appointment to Home and
Country. "Wonderful , we
haven't lost her . after all!" I
heard that said so often. In fact,
as W.I. members, we now feel
that Miss Chapman definitely be-
longs to us. A better choice could
not have been made. Born and
raised on a farm Miss Chapman
has an awareness of, and an, in-
terest in, the problems of country
folk. And of course, she has al-
ways been keenly interested in
the work of the W.I. So I am
sure we are all very glad to have
her as editor of home and
Country.
Frances Shelley Wees . . , a
remarkable woman. Have ' you
read any of her boobs or serials?
She is a most prolific writer. I
was privileged Id hear her speak
at a meeting , of the Canadian
Authors last tveelt, She lives on
a farm; is a mother and grand-
mother; does most of her own,
work; entertains and baby-sits
and yet finds time to turn out
thousands of words each year,
although she says three or four
weeks during the year is all the
time she spends in actual writing.
The rest of the time is thinking
and planning what her next book
shall be. One time she started
writing a book on a Tuesday and
finished it the following Friday.
Oh, for a gift like that! Her
record for a single day's work is
18,000 words—and that's a lot of
writing. "But", said Mrs. Wees,
"when I write, I do nothing else
but write," How she manages to .
do this she did not explain.
Tractor -radio . the next, on
my list. I jotted down that note
while listening to the radio. An
advertisement stated that farm-
ers can now have radios installed
on their tractors . . good re-
ception and powerful enough to
be heard above the hum of the
tractor. Said the announcer—
"Order one now and insure de-
livery before spring ploughing
begins." Well .. , how crazy can
people get? It was hard enough
in the past to attract the atten-
tion of a tractor -driver, and, if
one had a message to deliver, to •
make oneself heard. Now, if one
has to compete with a radio as
well ... words fail me!
Wind . , . hydro—well, if you
shared the wind that came our
way last week you will under-
stand why I made a note of that.
But it didn't bring any snow. In
fact the ground around here has
been covered only once this
winter and then the snow was
gone again in two days. Saturday
morning, just as we were getting
up, a blue flash lit up the sky.
Thirty seconds later the power
was off. It stayed off until 8 tun,
—by that time most of the cows
had been hand -milked. One more
sample of the inconvenience of
conveniences. But .oh, the joy
when lights flash On again; milk-
ing machine begins to hum and
the radio to play. It almost equals
the thrill of having hydro newly
installed. Perhaps without these
interruptions we would fail to
realize how lucky we are.
End of notes . , . and of space.
A man in Green Island, N.Y.,
dropped a paper beg holding $270
width scattered about the street.
When he counted the amount
which passers-by 'picked up for
him, he found he had $270.40.
Smash Coffin
To Steal Jewels
Thieves who broke into a dere.'
11ot .Norman church, at W.oliham-
cote, near . Daventry, England,
smashed•a eolfin in a fancily vault
in a vain setu•ch for jewels that
might have been burled With e
body 112 years, age. They wrench-
ed away the Marble tablet to the
vault and 'tore off the head of
the main, throwing the skull into
en adjoining unused grave. Next
day the vault floor was found
littered with bones.
Grave robberies are rare now-
adays, but they used to be corn
man, It's on record that at Scot -
house, near Clones, gold seekers
forced their way through stone
walls behind which lay the coffin
of it ninety -four-year-old man
who had died gixty-three years
earlier,
The old Ilan, said rumour, was
immensely wealthy and had made
his coffin himself, leaving instruc-
tions that all his gold should be
buried with him. He bad been in
the habit toe lying in the Boffin to
"see whether it fitted him," and
had told his servants that it must
be , "roomy." But the would-be
thieves were disturbed and missed
the treasure.
Reed Back By Bayonets
In a cemetery near Geneva the
family tomb of M. Jean Bart,
holomi was opened in 1923 for
the burial of his ten -year-old son.
The gravediggers found that the
body of Monsieur Jean's first
wife—who died eighteen years
earlier—had been stripped of the
precious jewels with which she
had been buried,
Several attempts were made to
rob the grave in Brooklyn Ceme-
tery of J a m e Jones, seaman,
after a story that it contained a
casket of Russian Crown Jewels
had been circulated. The jewels
were said to be worth one million
pounds,
So persistent was the story that
it was finally decided, some years
ago, to open the grave officially.
Would-be spectators were kept
back at the cemetery entrances by
armed guards with fixed bay-
onets. But no jewels were found.
In the days of body -snatchers,
many relatives of the dead em-
ployed armed guards .to watch
tombs atter dark, At Sutton, Sar -
ray, a tomb has been opened tgit
August 12 every year since 17911
and inspected by a clergyman uta
churchwardens, The o r i gin a 1
season for the ,Inspection was to
;Hake sure that the tomb had
not been tampered witit by body
snatchers.
