They all seem to be caught in the same web, and 'can't give him up.' Perhaps the experience of a friend of mine will show them what they can expect. "This woman was married and had a little girL Her hus- band drank too much, so she decided to go back to work, chiefly, I think, to have some. thing else to think about. "She became secretary to a married man with three child- ren. He said his wife didn't unedrstand him (the old gag) and asked her for dates. He lavished gifts on her, and fin- ally promised he would get a divorce if she would, too. COULDN'T STAY TRUE "They both got their freedom, and married. It lasted just three years. He dominated her completely; they went where he pleased, entertained only his friends ... Then he started see- ing other women. "She divorced him, and is back working again somewhere else. "Her former husband married a nice girl and they are raising a family. Her own little girl (now 13) sees her father often and adores him and his wife. "My friend is heartbroken, and looks ten years older. "Maybe some of your readers who are dating married men will see in this instance one more proof that a married man who will cheat one wife will cheat another.

His attentions are no compli- ment to her ... If young readers are being tempted, let them write to Anne Hirst for advice. Address her at Box 1, 123 Eight- eenth Street, Now Toronto, Ont. The Weaker Sex? Says You! Science, at last,- has proved that • women are better than men — and man admits it! Dr. Ashley' Montagu„ profes- sor of anthropology at Rutgers University, told members of Holy Blossom Temple that sci- ence had disproved the myth that woman was "long on hair. short on brains." Men were stronger in such things as lifting. pushing and pulling, but now 90 per cent of that sort of work was done by machinery. In any case, man paid a terrible price for his extra strength by using his energy so fast that he burned out much more quickly than the female. Females lived longer than males, even though they were more subject to certain disord- ers. In the U.S., the relative life expectancy figures were 651/2 years for men and 72 for wo- men. Besides working less hard than women, men were insen- sitive and lacked an under- standing of a woman's work in the home. A day's housework exhausted the mere male, and by the time he had finished a second day around the home, he was ready for hospital. Women were able to cry. and this 'restored their equilibrium. Men did not, and so got ulcers and boils. From an intelligence point of view, girls were always supe- rior in schools. They were bet- ter students right up to college age, and kept about two years ahead of the boys. But why was it that men had achieved so much? Were not women capable of just as much achievement? Undoubtedly, yes. But they did not have wives, as the men had, to urge them along and inspire them! THIS SYSTEM ,Tack Dubois was in a tavern in the Texas cow country when a sweet young thing advanced toward the weighting machine. Before stepping on the scales she tossed a challenge Jack's way, "How much do you think I weigh?" Although she was medium of build he guessed 116 pounds. Then she turned to an older man and asked him. He said, "Reeken about 131 pounds," She weighed 132. Jack asked the Old fellow, "How did you come so close?" "Shucks, jack," he said, "I've bought and sold a lot of cattle in my day. And I pilus judge 'em by the . hind quarters first." French Plot So Hot As Cooks Any More? A sad blow has been struck at the prestige of France's much -vaunted cuisine. At the International Culinary Fair in Switzerland the judges in the world cooking champion- ship.for 1954 awarded first place jointly to Austria and Ger- many. Belgium was placed second, with England and Norway placed third—another tie. The American entries of creamed turkey and lemon chiffon pie ranked last in the field of 19 contestants, sharing this igno- minious place with ALlstralia`s entry, mulligatawny soup. The judges called French cooking "old-fashioned." They also said the high point- of the show, the most individual teat of culinary mastery, was reach- ed by Viennese patissier Willi Pokorny, Before a crowd of 300 cheer- ing people, in the record time of 11 minutes 34 seconds, Willi filled 50 eclairs with chocolate, while three assistants slapped on chocolate icing. Delighted onlookers and culinary experts declared it was as good a feat as the four -minute mile. The Viennese won their laurels in three classes. First a complete menu con- sisting of liver dumpling soup, trout from the lake of Traun, stuffed breast of veal, and cheese pancakes. Second, another complete menu consisting of oxtail soup, roast beef with cucumber and dill sauce, stuffed pepper, and pancakes chopped up with raisins. In the individual class the Viennese won with a tempting_ cold ham with truffles, and a cold tongue with apple horse- radish. The, judges expressed their opinion that not only could the French not cook such dishes — they could not even pronounce them, The French reply is awaited. Crook -spotting at London Airport Her Majesty's customs officers at London Airport must always be on the alert for the unex- pected. Their security surveil- lance must cover not only the customs sheds but the complete airport. Without an immense number of men it would have been impossible five years ago to keep the whole airport under observation, At one time an at- tempt was made to steal and smuggle a million dollars' worth of bullion out of the airport. Only a last minute "tip off" by one of the men involved in the plot prevented the success of the robbery. Now every square inch of the airport can be kept under obser- vation at any time of the day. This tremendous feat has been achieved with one small gadget in the customs boarding office in the continental departure building, Technically known as long- range binoculars, it occupies the far corner of the boarding -room. This section of the room has a window overlooking the whole airport. The large binoculars with a director on the top swing round on an extra large tripod. The director is used to enable officers to pinpoint an object at great speed. The binoculars can bring into range objects at the far side of the airport which the unaided eye cannot see.

Ciaeka We have just enjoyed a lovely weekend — insofar as weather was concerned — and I expect 'the same thought was in every - One's mind — how different from the week before' when the devastating effect of Hurricane Hazel was making itself felt more and more with every pass- ing hour. There has been so mueh -written and broadcast about the storm you would think there could be nothing left to tell and yet every day more details come to light about places that were not even men- tioned at first. The other day, for instance, I got a letter from my sister,now living on he , outskirts of Oshawa. We had not read of any damage being done at Oshawa, nor did Kath- leen mention floods, but she did say the power went off at 5:45 p.m. Friday and on Sunday -night, up to the time she wrote, it was still off. Se in her apart- ment for two days anyway there was no heat, light, radio or means of cooking a meal. Friends in another district had invited Kathleen and son Klemi to dinner Saturday and Sunday. Afterwards, of course,'they had to retprn to their, cold, com- fortless apartment. Another day a young fellow' came here who had spent the weekend up near Owen Sound. Driving back he saw three acci- %lenats near Orangeville. On one occasion a car overtook him and Then careened across the road and turned over In' a water - filled ditch. Be helped the trap- ped occupants to safety through the window of the car other- wise they must surely have drawned, Dee and Art were here on Sunday and they did not suffer' any inconvenience at all at least not in regard to the storna, Their trouble had been with Davey who had a had cold or slight congestion with a tem- perature of 102 degrees. How- ever, penicillin saved the day . 'and David is now as good as new. Sometimes. I wonder how we mothers ever raised our families before penicillin was discovered. Bob and Jay came up last Friday as I was unable to get out to . do my weekly shopping. The only storm Tamage in their Oakville home was from rain driving in under the doors and windows. But on the farm Partner is still fixing fences 'and filling in gulleys. And there is still the bridge in the lane to repair — or rather the 'approaches to it. It will probably take quite a few loads of fill to build it up again properly, Another thing, my recent severe attack of lumbago, from which I am now thankfully re- covering, is directly attributable to Hurricane Hazel. Thinking Partner had enough to do out- side I was paddling around ,in the flooded cellar trying to get the furnace going. And that finished me for awhile. And now Partner's neuritis, which Is al- ways with him, has become much worse. So, while our troubles are negligible compared with the 1• or souls in the disaster areas yet they are real enough to have :•caused us considerable inconvenience and discomfort, And 1 suppose that applies to quite a number of other farina „tad farm families: How helpless can one get without being really sick? Doc.. tors and hospitals perform near- mirail s In many apparently . hopeless cases involving illness and accidents and yet many , cases of chronic arthritis and neuritis still resist every known treatment, Arthritis alone, so statisics say, is responsible for more lost man-hours of work than any other disability. It is also the last word in unpredice ability, partner can carry a full' pail of milk with the greatest of ease yet he is almost help- less elpless when it comes to handling his own knife and fork at, the dinner table. It doesn't really make sense — but there it is, Science moves along, .some- times slowly, sometimes with startling rapidity. Asfor in- stance in the ease of weeds. Partner has always been oppos. ed to chemical, destruction Of weeds. He believes in control but not destruction on the theory that the fibrous roots of weeds are necessary to prevent soil erosion. So we were natur- ally' interested In an article published recently on beetles and weeds. Experiments have been taking place in California and British Columbia for des- troying St. Johnswort by intro - duping a certain` type of insect which feeds only on this par- ticular weed. It has been found ' a cheaper and more effective method of eradication than spraying with chemicals. The insects do not attack any other form of vegetation. It is thought plant life and the insect world are so clearly allied that future experiments may lead to the natural eradication of most of our troublesome weeds, 'The Parasitic Branch of the Domin- ion department of Biology is now experimenting with couch grass. Poison ivy, ragweed and wild oats are also on the list. "" "Ay e 1 e • rar �aOT�ar IpeapaggLme otter so%toc1 1°sa4 rag 4a910 0 from Voce dei Popols, Rome, Italy.
