e If your faithful agent happened, by
some dire mischance, to be a referee
under the jurisdiction of the Canadian
Rugby Union, his sleep at nights during
the season would' be beset by horrid
spectres and hideous dreams, For, in
any game, a nightmarish situation could
Suddenly thee the interpid souls, through no fault of their
own, but via rules which uncertainly govern the actual
play.
We mean that rule concerning invasion of the playing
field by an "unauthorized player who dashes from his
bench, On sudden impulse and brings down an opposing
player who happens to be scampering by, at the moment,
running free and clear. it still isn't as clear-cut and definite
as a rule of such importance should be.
Being an optimistic soul we' somehow gained the im-
pression that at last the CRU' had got away from the timor-
ous rule that left the situation in uncertainty, and had come
up with sharply etched legislation so that a touch -down
to the team offended against became completely automatic,
instead of leaving the referee in the middle,
But the new rule isn't quite that sharply designed. It's
full of deceptive verbiage, Clause B sets forth that when
an invasion of the field by an unauthorized person occurs,
whew it is obvious to the referee that a touch -down might
have been scored, he shall award a touch -down, Any un-
authorized player or players shall be immediately disqualified
from further participation In the game.
That doesn't make the touch -down automatic. Not the
way we read these things. It still leaves the offence a matter
for official judgment,
But, in slightly •contradictory fashion, Clause C sets forth
that should the unauthorized person who invaded the field
be a player,. coach, trainer, equipment man or any other
person permitted a place orl the team bench, an automatic
touch -down shall be awarded. This is the right ruling, the
straight -forward ruling, whereas Clause B. merely confuses
and leaves room for argument.
So if any player should dart from the bench this season
and overthrow a running rival, he bad better shout:. "I'm
working under Clause B," which will put the onus right on
the officials, the poor guys who are always in the middle.

Planting,
Ilii October
Tulips are the last of the
wing -flowering bulbs to be
panted in autumn. They can go
In any time before the ground
freezes—even after a thin crust
of frozen ground must be brok-
en through — but October is the
hest planting time.
By choosing among the many
colors, shades, and varieties, one
can be sure of a display of
spring flowers from the end of
daffodil -blooming on into early
summer when the garden bor-
ders begin. Their lovely satin
cups can be planted in mixed
colors or can be carefully ar-
ranged in more formal fashion,
the colors massed to tone into
ne another like the bands of a
rainbow.
Earliest is Red Emperor, giant
among tulips, handsome deep.
ted cups on tall stems, flowering
with the late 'daffodils. Then
come the Early single and dou-
ble types, their stems shorter
than the later varieties, their
cups, in clear reds, yellows —
primary colors, chiefly. Climax
of the tulip pageant comes with
the Darwins, Breeders, and Cot-
tage tulips.
The Breeders, oldest of all,
provide they rich, dark colors.
The Cottages are lighter, bright-
er,on shorter stems, with point-
ed petals, and often more in-
formal in looks. Among the Dar -
Wins are mQst of the silken beau-
ties in reds, pinks, mauves, lav-
enders, although all three have
be en developed in exciting
shades and tone Oembinations.
A good autumn bulb catalogue
should introduce you to some of
newest varieties of tulips as
well. The Parrot tulips with
ragged petals and interesting
orchidlike shapes are favorites
among these. It is best not to
have too many, for they are
highly dramatic in the border.
Fantasy, a gorgeous pink Par-
rot, is a beauty worth beginning
with.
Lily - Flowered and Peony -
Flowered are special varieties
or forms of Cottage tulips, but
usually listed separately. Lily -
Flowered have spreading point-`
ed petals; Peony -Flowered are
vc., double, the blooms round-
ed and actually very like a
peony blossom. Multi -Flowered
or Bunch -Flowered produce sev-
eral on one stem, the flowers
smaller, often with contrasting
centers.
For the rock garden the "tu-
h p Species" add a delightful note
to the spring garden, Kaufman-
niana, sometimes called Water-
lily tulips, have wide-open cups
in lovely tones and colors, some
bi-colored, Clusiana is another
Species tulip, also called Lady
tulip; There are many more.
It is wofth while to invest in
top-quality bulbs, for your to-,
lips last for many years. Pre-
pare the soil deeply — eight to
10 inches — adding sand if
needed, to insure good drainage,
and plant food. Dig holes larger
than the bulbs, to be sure the
bulbs ,lie on well worked, well
drained soil with no danger of
air pockets below. The top of
the bulb should be about six
inches from the surface.

Gift of Speech
From Convicts
Never had sweet-faced, two
year-old. Lucia Bechelli been
able to utter the words, "Mam-
ma" and "Papa." ' For this only
child of very poor parents liv-
ing in Carrara, Italy, was born.
dumb.
They knew that an operation
by a famous surgeon could cure
her. But how could they afford
the 100,000 lire it would cost?
Lucia's father offered to sell
one of his eyes to an eye bank
to raise the money. News of his
offer was published in the local
newspaper, a copy of which fell
by chance into the bands of a
man serving a life sentence for
robbery.
The prisoner showed it to his
fellow prisdners, If they all went
for months without the only
. pleasure permitted them in pris-
on—their cigarettes—they could
raise the 100,000 lire, he said.
They did so. The little girl's
despairing father, whose offer to
sacrifice an eye had been turn-
ed down, was amazed to receive
the full sum from the prisoners,
most of then were hardened
criminals.
So impressed was the sur-
geon that he undertook to per-
form the operation without the
fee. "Use the money for pro-
viding Lucia with special hos-
pital comforts afterwards," he
told her grateful father.
One wonderful day recently
Lucia spoke for the first time.
She said prayers for the sure
geon whose :skill had given her
speech and for the score of con-
victs who had made the sacri-
fice for her.
And when she came home
from hospital her mother guid-
ed her little hand as she wrote
a note of thanks to the prison-
ers
When the prison governor
heard of it, he invited Lucia to
come to the prison so that they
could hear her Voice lisping her
shy thanks.

When he was an under-
graduate • at Oxford; William
Douglas Home, author of the
successful plays "Now Barab-
bas" and The Chiltern Hun-
dreds," was disqualified from
driving for a year for a motor-
ing offence.
He at once hired a horse and
phaeton, and offered fellow -
undergraduate Brian Johnston
a post as groom. Brian bought
a sawn-off top hat, Churchil-
lian style, tied his trousers be-
low the knee with 'twine, stuck
a straw in his mouth and they
set off up the High Street with
their one h.p. turnout.
Unfortunately the mare —
christened Lily after Miss Lily
Tawney, the Lady Mayor of
Oxford, who had heard the
case and suspended the licence
—refused to do more than walk,
and by the time they. reached
Callan, the busy town centre,
a traffic block of honking cars
and buses stretched half a. mile
behind them.
They then had to turn the
phaeton round, with Brian
holding Lily's head and making
sympathetic noises, the phaeton
, rocking to and fro. Crowds
gathered. So did the blood in
the point -duty bobby's face,
"Why do you drive that thing
if you don't know how to man-
age it?" he demanded.
"Because," Home replied, "I
am forbidden by law to drive
the only kind of vehicle I do
know how to manage."
"What kind's that? A pram?"
"An automobile," said Home
with dignity,
"Get it out of here," the bobby
ordered, and eventually they
got it out. They even drove to's.

:Fifteen years later when his
father visited Oxford for a
Boys' Brigade rally, as 'Presi-
dent, an old lady approached
him.
"Lord Home," she said, "I
must asir you. How is Lily?"
"Very well, thank you, when
1 last saw her," 11e replied,
thinking she referred to his
wife, whom he had left the day
before in Scotland in the best
of health.
"I'm so glad," she said. "I
used to love seeing her spank-
ing down the Nigh Street, with

A story of Eton in Mr. Rome's
diverting autoblography—"Half
Term Report"—concerns a boy
in his house who was invited to
dine at the White Hart in Wind-
sor by actress Tallulah Bank-
head, The Eton authorities took
grave exception to boys asso-
ciating with theatrical folk,
The dinner having been ells-
covered, the head, Dr, Ailing -
ton, summoned the boy before
him. It might well have meant
dismissal from school but for-
tunately the tutor, Mr, Wells,
was also present. The interroga-
tion began:
"Where did you dine? Wbat
did you eat?"' then "What did
you drink?"
"Hock, sir."
"What year?" asked Mr.
Wells, who was an authority on
wines.
The year was given.
"Too young!" cried Mr. Welts
in anguish. "Far too young. 'You
shouldn't touch that vintage for
another ten years,"
Dr. Alington laughed, they
Launched into a discussion of
the relative merits of hocks of
different years, and all the boy
got in the end, instead of dire
punishment, was a fine work-
ing knowledge of the vintage
years.
When Home studied at
R.A.D,A. and played the butler
in the Academy's production of
Shaw's "Fanny's First Play,"
the producer warned them that
every word of Shaw's mattered,
and they must learn their parts.
fool --proof, before the author
came to the rehearsal.
At the end of the perform-
ance Shaw came on to the stage
and said that the two girls play-
ing the elderly women's parts
were miscast, adding: "Change
them over and they'll be all
right."
"But, Mr, Shaw," protested
the instructress, "they can't pos-
sibly learn each other's lines by
the date of the public perform-
ance."
Well, change their names
over," said Shaw. "It doesn't
matter what they say.'
Yvonne Arnaud told Mr.
Home how she met her first
Englishman, a junior official at
the British Embassy in Paris
who travelled down to Tours to
dine with her parents. His train,
delayed, took an extra hour or
so on the journey.
Ile beguiled the time quench-
ing his thirst to such effect that
when he eventually arrived for
dinner he picked up the roll
beside his plate, washed his
hands with it in the plate of
soup the servant placed before
him, dried his hands on the nap-
kin, then .tipped the soup -plate
outwards over the polished
table.
"That," said Miss Arnaud,
"was my first Englishman. To
think that after that I married
one!"
Humour apart, Mr. Horne
writes seriously of the theatre,
politics, the Army, the conduct
of the war, and the conscience-
scruple—about evacuating civi-
lians before the attack on Le
Havre — which moved him to
disobey an order in France, for
which he was cashiered and
sentenced to a year's imprison-
ment.
Puzzler For The
Insurance People
French insurance companies
are having to think up a new
clause in their policies to cover
the danger of jealous husbands
since a recent court case has
shown a loop -hole in the classic
formulae.
Monsieur X, driving carefully
'as was his custom, saw in front
of him a car bearing his wife
and a man he strongly suspected
of stealing her affections, on
what could only be described
as a joy -ride. Stepping angrily
on the accelerator, he tried to
overtake them, tooting wildly in
the approved French manner,
only to see them speed ahead.
A chase followed in which
Monsieur X threw caution to
the winds, savagely btunped
their left rear mudguard, and
furiously made a dash to hit the
leading car on its right side.
The quarry pressed forward
and, seeing the possible haven
of a one-way street, and hoping
that Monsieur X s well-known
habit of careful driving would
prevent hint following, dashed
into it, preferring to risk a
summons for breaking traffic
rules rather than face the irate
husband of his now almost hys-
terical companion.
Undaunted, Monsieur X fol-
Iotved. And it was his misfor-
tune to knock down a pedestrian
who stepped casually off the
curb at that moment.
The insurance company now
seek to prove that the clause
which covers wilful damage can
exonerate them from snaking
payment. But the court ruling
suggests that wilful damage
was not intended to the pedes-
trian. It would have been a
different matter if Monsieur X
had been successful In causing
damage to his original intended
victims,

One of the roost" newsworthy
aspects of the recent Convention
of the Canadian Congress of
Labour, but completely ignored
by the daily press,,was the fact.
that the keynote speech on the
first day was given by a farmer.
The speaker was Albert Cor-
mack, President of the Ontario
Farmers Union; his subject was
the inter -dependence of farmer
and labour and the necessity of
closer cooperation between the
two groups,
Mr. Commack spoke of the
m any misunderstandings be-
tween rural and urban people
and the lack of knowledge of
each other's problems. 'Urban
people should know that farm-
ers are receiving only 44 cents
of the consumer's dollar while
56 cents are going to distribu-
tion.
He reminded the audience that
the farmer was getting only half
of last year's price for his beef,
but that the retail price has not
come do w n correspondingly.
"Farm income is down, farm
purchasing power is down," said
the farm leader, "and you men
n the factories are beginning to
feel the result of growing un-
nployrnent in industry."
He urged the Congress to do
more educational work among
its members and to work to-
wards more co -Ordination of
their activities with farm or-
ganizations.
Mr Cormack's address was
well received by the delegates
who listened attentively. There
was none of the usual reading..
or talking going on in the big
hall while the farm union presi-
dent spoke,
In the afternoon of the salve
day the main speaker was Hon-
*tlxable T. C. Douglas, Premier
f Saskatchewan.
Again the main theme was
farmer - labour relations, Mr.
Douglas spoke of the same prob-
lems which had been discussed
in the morningand pointed out
how some of them had been
solved in his province.
He emphasized the importance
of the labour legislation put on
the books of Saskatchewan: by
a farmer government.
He elaborated on the Health
program of the province, other
social services and how they
were . financed partly by direct
contributions of the people and
partly by revenues derived from
the companies exploiting natur-
al resources.
Both speakers, although ap-
proaching it from different an-
gles, came to the same conclu-
sion, namely that through co-
operation Canada's people could
have a fuller and more abund-
ant life,
