c' is clifltcult'to believe that any

Picture the man's wife as
° she is. Stricken beyond cure,
" she lies helpless, bereft of ac-
tive living,. Her one bapphless
lies in the belief that her bus-
*
band still loves her. Would
you destroy that faith? If you
try, I believe the man, in spite
* of his deceit, would never
look you in the .face. again,
* Perhaps he is not divorcing
▪ her because he has no grounds;
a' or beneath his sense' of guilt,

WHY NOT, PARENTS?
"Dear Anne Hirst: I will soon
be 15. The school prom is com-
ing up. any my mother promises
I can go if I am asked. My
problem is, no one knows this
but a couple of the girls. One
got me a date for Sunday night,
but my folks won't let me
keep it.
"Don't •you think it would be
okay if I had a couple of double
dates before the prom?

` Your chances of being asked

When It's Tulip Time In , . , Ottawa—Some of the 750,000 tulips
which visitors are being invited to enjoy let Ottawa's Cgnadian
Tulip Festival from May 16 fo 24' this year. These are on Par-
liament Hill. Other magnificent beds are planted on the Capital
City's Driveways, the Dominion Experimental Farm, beside main
roads and in many parks. Sponsored by the Ottawa -Board of
Trade, the Tulip Festival is designed to bring Canadians from
other parts of the country to see their capital city as well as its
unmatched beauty.
Tulip Festival
"MUlagnifieent Sight
The first aimual Canadian Tu-
lip Festival is to be held al. Ot-
tawa this year, May 16 to 24. -
With 750,000 bulbs to provide
a magnificent - display —unpara-
lleled -ori the North American
continent --. the. citizens of the
capital city want Canadians from
tar and near to share in the en-
joyment of this unique floral
spoctaele:
It Is not only the number of
tulips on display that make Ot-
tawa's showing unique, but also
their setting in Canada's capital
city and tete method by which
• they are displayed. This meth-
od, as used by the capital's Fed-
eral. District Commission, is call-
ed a "flowing mass display,"
All the fundamental principles=
of design — harmony, contrast,
repetition, sequence and balance
— are brought into play to.

achieve eye-catching designs. In-
stead of dispersing the effect
through many small beds the
main tulip beds are larger and
are built around a few strong
colors with other lesser colors
to provide accent= The effect
achieved is eo striking that it has
caught the eye of everyone who
has visited the capital city dur-
ing tulip time.
The Canadian who visits
Ottawa during tulip"tinte can see
approximately 200'varieties of
tulips, some itt beds of 70,000,
set against the background of
Ottawa's famed parkways, pub-
lic buildings and parks,
The Canadian Tulip Festival
has been started this year be-
cause th. Ottawa Board of Trade
feels that the city's magnificent
tulip display belongs to all Can-
adians. It is expected that,
through the years, the Tulip Fes-
tival will become as famous as
the Cherry Blossom Festival le
Washington.

La:;t v.etk 1 had a !Mier iron'
a friend that ended this way—
"Why does everything happen to
us?" The writer had good reason
for asking that question as her
family scents to have more than
its share of trouble of various
kinds. Long after I had read the
letter the query she had raised
remained in my mind and I
wondered bow many of us, in
DUE nWil time. have asked the
same thing --and generally in
connection witllefalnily problems.,
from which none of us escapes--
sicknea, lzccidents, financial dif-
tirultle: , or quite often a : com-
bination of all three, for it would
seem that trouble never comes
singly. Often it is one thing after
another and we think, even if
we don't say it "Why does
everything happen to us1" lsn'1
that right, friends, haven't you,
more than once, had occasion le
ask the very same thing?
But supposing Lady Luck has
sullied upon us—supposing the
thingw we worried about never
happened the loved one who was
ill made a t elnaxkable recovery;
the lack of fat m help was sudden.
ly solved by, the return of a man
who had worked for us years
ago; or housing aceomndation
was relieved in a miraculous way
by an offer to those who shared
our home. An unexpected legatee,
might even have coma our way
—or perhaps we bit it lucky on
a radio programme! Or it could
be that some member or 0111' •fam-
ily escaped unhurt ill an auto-
mobile accident.. Now I wonder,
when good,.instead of bad luck,
comes our way, do we still say
t0 ourselves—"Why does every-
thing , happen to us!" 1 venture
to guess that few et us even think
of asking such a question under
those conditions. We take it all
for granted and go merrily on
our .way. Such illogical rn'eatures
as most of us are!
But then, we are no more in-
consistent than the weather, Here
.we are, after an almost snowless
winter --that is, in Ontario's ba-
nana belt --ready and anxious to
get on with our outdoor spring
chores, and what sort of weather
de we get? Snow, of all things
and strong, eoid, north-west

winds. Too cold and rough to
work outside with any degree of
pleasure—or even inside with-
out fires or furnace. In fact we
might wall say with Samuel Cole-
ridge—"The spring comes slowly
up this way". Or is it that the
are a little previous in our an-
ticipation of its coining? Most of
us looked for an early spring, but,
as so often happens, our expec-
tations fell short.
Yesterday, tor instance—such
a cold, miserable day—not much
chance of visitors, we thought.
But. by three o'clock we had a
party- of four, and, while I was
getting tea for them, three more
arrived,
7'dday, Monday, we have ex-
tra jobs to 'do. Right now, a man
is at the barn dehorning a couple
of heifers. Ayrshire cattle grow
such wrecked , horns. You would .
think, after years of domesticity,
cattle would stop growing horns
—like the Polled Angus. Horne,
are not only a•menace to fainters
but also a menace to the cattle
themselves, A cola:, nearing caly-
ing time, can receive injury by
a bossy stable-mate,a little too
busy with her horns, And what
those same horns can do to a
Some isn't funny. Sometimes we
stop the gametal At :horns when
the calves are little and sonle-
times we doift, If -we have a run
of several bull calves In succes-
sion we have lest tele habit by the
time 1)011(z' calf comes along.
Ariot let' job oil hand for today
Is an electrical cheek -up. We and
that switch 'boxes down the barn
,gradually get choked with dust
and chair, and, when this becomes
damp, through )tumidity, or by
repeated freezing and thawing,
a short circuit will sometimes
result—so we Ley toget ahead of
the game it we can. It is often
quite a job to find an electrician
who isn't too busy foz' these small
jobs .so when we do get a man
here I generally Pratte a job or .
two lined up for him myself.
This time it is an outlet in my
little office—at present'I have ex-
tension cords trailing across the
floor because my room is the back
half of what was me big room
when the. house was wired. I re-
member when the wiring was
done the electrician said -"Don't
ever be -afraid of having too many
outlets—and Pile guarantee that
:nomatter how many I petits you
will ' still find, as time goes on,
that you haven't enough." He
was right, there were 45 outlets
to start with—and we are still
adding to that number, Some
people do little odd electrical
jobs like that themselves but in
our family no one feels he knows
enough about the work to do a
'safe job. For which I am very
thankful. J. would rather we paid
to have a job done by an expert
than have it bungled by an ama-
teur. Far better to be safe than
sorry.
HIS FUNNIESB
Jimmy "Schnozzola" Durante
thinks that the funniest line he
ever .had in a show was from a.
scene of "Jumbo," the Rodgers -
Hart -.Hecht extravaganza that
Billy Rose produced in the Hip-
podrome in 1936. Durante ap-
peared.. upon- the stage . with a
mammoth elephant in tow, sup-
posedly stolen from a circus
owner who was holding out on
Jimmy's back salary,' A constable
stopped hi m and demanded,
"Where did you get that ele-
phant?" Durante, the picture of
outraged innocence, answered,
"What elephant?" "That was such
a wonderful line," recalls Jimmy,
"that even the elephant busted.
out laughin' a coupla time a
week."
At one performance the ele-
phant, named Tufty, forgot that
he had been house-broken, Dur -
ante sent the audience into hy-
sterics -.by exclaiming, "Hey,
Tuffy, no ad libbing."
Orr IN THE ST1Li,x NIGHT
M the University of Wisconsin,
three scientists insisted they
heard corn growing one warm,
quiet night 11) August, In the
middle of a 100 -sere cornfield
owned by ,the university, they
set up equipment to measure the
wind and temperature and then
started recording all sounds on
a tape recorder, Later, they
played the record bac1t. By iden-
tifying all other sounds picked
up by the recorder, the scientists
—an agronomist, a meteorologist.
and a scienceeditor picked
out the sound made by growing
corn. Couldn't be anything else.
Experts say corn grows mostly
at night, sometimes as'nxuch as
two to five inches a night. And,
apparently, with a snapping,
crackling sound.
