Snow —Feeds On Wood That stt'a:me-looking fungus ww'c ChB dry rot is probably as ankh re- sponsible for the damage and dcferto atioa ,f property as any other cause. Once it gains a hole] on any building, it can do irrepar- able harm and severe measures are always necessary to obliterate its traces. Why is it railed dry rot: Merely because of the dry appearance of the wood t.fter the fungus has at- tacked it. Actu(liy the fungus re- quires continual damp in order to survive. Wood standing out in the open.thongh shbjectto danto,is not attacked by dry rot, since this fun- gus doesn't flourish in sunlight and frost. Dry rot works unseeu and un- suspected, and its presence is only too frequently detected after its ravages have made serious inroads into the soundness and stability of a building. Its botanical name is "Lacrynlans:" This refers to the drops of fluid it exxudes, Sometimes the floorboards of a building are taken up to reveal a sight which is both shocking and marvellous. Dry rot has gained a firm hold. In some cases the joists may be completely clothed with a light cobwebby substance, hanging here and there in tassels and fringes. In many places the deposit resembles tine, freshly drif- ted snow. This represents the immature stage of dry rot. When more lux- uriant it forms cobweb festoons in the corners which are often tra- versed by threads of orange, purple and magenta hues, and distilling drops of amber fluid. A single plant of this fungus re- produces millions of spores which are so small that they can be borne about by the slightest draught. By means of strands the fungus spreads within the wood, feeding and forming ielt-like sheets over its surface or over brick, stone, or metal surfaces, and even through the mortar of walls in search of new wood which it can eat away, Dry rot which starts in a cellar may even spread across substances from which it receives no susten- ance as far as the roof of the house. The only method of getting rid of it is to cut out all the affected tim- ber. Surrounding brickwork should then be sterilized with a blow lamp and creosote used on all exposed wood. Dry rot cannot develop—though it may remain latent—in wood to which air currents have free access. Sometimes dry rot ,starts when air vents become clogged and air is prevented from circulating under- neath the house. It is a wise plan to clear these vents of all encumbran- ces at regular intervals. "Rain -Making" Is An Old, Old Story A native of New Guinea would be puzzled by the interest shown by people in Canada and the United States in rain -making. It would be an old story to him. Every well -ordered community in his part of the world would have its rain- maker, who would be expected to bring on a good shower whenever the crops needed it. There would be other experts who would under- take to "prop up the clouds" and stop the rains when there had been too much moisture. There would be many ways of doing this, all more or less imitative. To bring on rain, water would be sprinkled about with appropriate public cere- monies. To stop rain, fire would he used to dry up the clouds. Control of the weather, which only now is being undertaken on a scientific basis, is one of the oldest and most widespread uses of magic. Sir James Frazer in his great com- pendium of magical lore, "The Golden Bough," traces the magical control of rain through many lands and ages. In some primitive com- munities the king or head man is supposed to look after the weather for the benefit of the tribe. In others this most important matter is turned over to a professional magician, or to a special class of magicians. Since their livelihood, and perhaps their lives, too, depend on their success, these weather wizards are pretty sure to take an interest in meteorology. In this way, Frazer points out, science gets a start along with all the arts of imposture. The rain- maker naturally observes seasonal variations, the clouds and the winds. If he can stage a rain— making ceremony at the proper time he is rewarded by a downpour and his prestige soars, In a long dry spell his life is hard and full of danger, the tribe may blame him for the drought and put hint to death. Yet rain -makers seetn to have flourished in all primitive so- cieties and still flourislt in the islands of the South Pacific, in parts rf Alrica and other out-of- the-way plata 5.

TK EFAAM FRONT Jolv,12ussell Everybody knows, of course, that "the old gray mare, she ain't what she used to be." But Pos- sibly, when you start your trac- tor on some real work—such as spring plowing—you'll find that it has slowed down just like the gray mare, and you'll be won- dering "how come?" * * * Not long ago a couple of agri- cultural experts took a ,f arm trac- tor into the university shop, It sounded pretty good, but when they put it on the testing machine it registered only 25 horsepower. * * * This is hard to believe—but in less than 30 minutes they had shoved the horsepower needle up to 31—just by cleaning a lot of dust and dirt out of the air filter. Then, cleaning out the radiator pushed the needle up still another 3 horsepower. * * * In other words, they gave that tractor 9 more horsepower in less than an hour. * * * A tractor engine will dile some- thing like 9,000 more gallons of air for every gallon of fuel it con- sumes. That's why the air cleaner is one of the best things to slow down wear in your tractor, engine, or car. When the air cleaner is clogged, the engine gets short of breath, and loses power. It has trouble getting air, so it sucks MORE FUEL FROM THE TANK. * Your carburetor can be just as costly. You can waste as much as a dollar's worth of gasoline a day just by being LESS THAN A TURN OFF THE "LOAD AD- JUSTMENT SCREW." If you aren't sure just where that screw is, dig elft your instruction book and find out. Then, here's how to set it properly: * * 4• Run your tractor wide open. Slowly turn the load needle IN until the engine starts to miss. Then turn it back OUT until the engine runs smoothly. Now try pulling a load, If it won't quite do it, open the needle another six- teenth of a turn. Then you have the setting where most engines make the most power with a gal- lon of fuel. * * * You can probably make your tractor run on less fuel than that but it doesn't pay to be too stingy either. Too lean a mixture is too Itot for your engine to handle properly—it burns and warps the valves. * * * Perhaps without your even sus- pecting it, bad valves can let as much as 5 horsepower go out the exhaust instead of to the drawbar. Have your valves ground regularly, keep tappets adjusted, and you won't need to worry about wasting 5 or 6 gallons of gas a day. * * * Keeping the valves cool calls for a radiator that's clean. Buy some cleaner and flush out the collected scale. Refill, using soft water—such as rain water front a cistern—as the minerals in well water can make your rad look like the inside of a teakettle. Put in a shot of one of those rust -preven- tion compounds too. * * h Better take a look at the fan belts, too. If they appear a little frayed, it would be a good idea to pick up some new ones at the earli- est opportunity, * * * Poor tinting cuts down power and wastes fuel, A worn governor can rob you of two or three horse- power. But better not tinker with the insides of a magneto or gov- ernor yourself, Give the job to a mechanic who is a specialist on such things. • * * Do you do your greasing in the morning before you start (work, or after you conte in from the field? Evening, when bearings are still warm, is best; and the grease keeps the moisture in the night air from sneaking in, and causing rust, as they cool off, Oil filters are real collectors of grit and grime; that's what they're meant to be. But the filter ele- ment needs to be changed as soon as the oil starts to feel and look dirty, so better keep a few spare elements on hand. s * * So, before you get too busy, why not make these—and other— checks? Protective maintenance of your tractor, car or truck is the best way to cut down operating costs — and you won't have to worry about expensive breakdowns when you're hurrying to get some- thing done. * * * And here's an item I picked up from an exchange. You can take it seriously—or not, just as you see fit. "A doctor says that farmers ought to wear girdles. Bouncing around on tractors shakes up their insides. The doctor says they'd feel better with something to hold gizzard, backbone and other odds and ends together. * * * "Sounds sissy, doesn't it? Well, the buckaroos of Spanish Califor- nia—real tough horsemen—used to wind yards and yards of cloth around their waists, tight. It helped them when the bronchos jack-knifed. * * * "Maybe the farmers won't try it. But the ones that do will at at least find out what the wife means when she says 'lily girdle is killing mel' As we write this, it is still uncertain whether the famous Stan- ley Cup—proud emblem of world hockey supremacy, or some such— will find a resting place, for the next twelve months or so, in De- troit Olympia Stadium or New York's Madison Square Garden. * * * (In passing we have often wonder- ed why it should be Madison Square GARDEN and Maple Leaf GAR- DENS. But we've never bothered to find out. 11'itlt or without the "5," neither one of them ever re- minded us of roses, hyacinths or even lillies-of-the-valley,) * * * If The Cup should land in New York—a real possibility consider- ing what Detroit went through, compared to the soft touch Rangers found in Les Canadiens—there's a Scriptural quotation that just about sums it up. To wit, "The last shall be first and the first, last." Rangers just managed to edge into the fourth and final playoff position. Detroit led the league practically from start to finish. Yet, should Rangers wits, inside of a month 99 out of 100 fans will think and talk of them as World Champions, We've heard plenty of much poorer jokes on high-ranking comedy air programs. * * * Still, maybe it won't happen. Per- haps, by the time this appears, Red Wings will have done right by "the world's fastest sport' and managed to conte through. * * * The playoff series between Red Wings and Maple Leafs — or at least two or three games thereof— proved one point which, for several years, has been in doubt. In spite of the widespread belief that the modern fan pays money to see blood, bumps and attempted mayhem, hockey can still be played cleanly and provide plenty of thrills. It all depends on the officials, who could clean out all the undue rough stuff in twenty minutes or less if they wanted to. Or were allowed to, * * * Par in hockey—snore than in any other sport—the attitude of the paid officials is a direct reflection of that taken by the top brass. Someday, under present conditions, there's going to be a real hockey fatality, (It's already tome to close to com- fort for that one or two occa• sins.) When and if such a thing occurs the responsibility won't be that of the referee who allowed the game to get out of hand --or even the man who appointed lint. The blame will fall directly on the type of coach, manager or owner who tells the press and public, "We're going to have a real battling team" and who send their gladiators on the ice in the same spirit as that of the fight handler yelling, "Get in there and slug, kid --he can't hurt US." * * * Too much roughness killed field lacrosse. The boxing game is in a worse plight than ever before, large- ly because decent -minded fight fans are sick of watching "boxers" whose only ability is that of absorbing pun- ishment, and nauseated with the steadily growing list of ring fatali- ties. * * * The latest of these occurred when young Lavern Roach died following a recent bout in New York City. Colonel Harvey L. Miller—better known as "Heinie"—bad some in- teresting things to say about it, and about the need for more atten- tion to safety in the ring—of which we'll .pass along a few. (We may say that Col. Miller is no raw hand, having been connected with boxing for almost 50 years as fighter, sec- ond, manager, referee, sports writer, and National Boxing Association official.) * * * "Unless the mantle of intercoIleg- iate (safety) rules is extended over prize fighting, its existence likely will be abolished by mounting indig- nation over continued fatalities such as the recent death of young Lavern Roach in New York." * * * "Dramatic safety rules will not be popular, we appreciate, with the fellows who believe Gettysburg was a frameup and that Iwo Jima should be repeated every Monday night. They'll probably denounce larger gloves and proposed head harnesses as sissy equipment. But the wise ones will prefer that to velvet cas- kets with silver handles." * * * "At the next NBA meeting, Michigan will report on the tests of a 90 -second interval, rather than the usual minute, between rounds. With the l0 -second warning buzzer for "seconds out of the ring" and other interruptions, the boxers haven't been getting the full rest intended by the rules. Of course, the extra 30 seconds will evolve howls front bloodthirsty fans impatient for the sight of slaughter. But it would give the fighter more time to recover from possibly injurious putsches and his handlers opportunity to staunch his wounds." * * 4t "During the past year, NBA bulle- tins, which are issued every 10 days, have suspended or retired close to 400 boxers. I wish that we had sus- pended Lavern Roach months back when I saw him lose to a second - rater and realized that the beating he had taken front Marcel Cerdan had left him a hollow shell. i -Ie promised me then that he would quit and did for a while ,only to meet death trying a comeback." h * * "Beyond a doubt, television often is responsible for the staging of bouts that would not or should not have been staged at all. The promo- ter is obligated by video agreement to produce a show at a given hour on a given date. And the show must go on—even if it's a mismatch or one of the principals isn't fit to enter the ring, It's time for the "idealists" in box- ing, those dyed-in-the-wool fans to whom the prime concern after a bout is '`who won and how" to save the game from the "what -was -the - take" coterie." * * * Space, or the lack of it, will not permit further comment at this time, But with hockey off the sports map for a few months, we hope, it might be an idea for those in control of that game to take a little thought as to whether—if present tendencies aren't checked — it isn't heading down the same road that brought disaster to boxing. Ascot Metals To Make Profits During the recent war lead, zinc and copper supplies were urgently sought in Canada which became an important war arsenal for the allies, The search for these metals was in- tensified. Government geologists collaborated with private companies in att effort to locate new deposits and in several instances this team work was successful, In Ascot township, Quebec, a Donrtnion Government geologist discovered a structure which he thought deserved test and Aldermac Copper Corporation subjected the area to a geophysical survey and extensive diamond drilling, with the result that a lead -copper -zinc deposit was outlined.

In eleven months Aldermac produced nearly $2,000,000 in metals but shut down after the war because of low prices. Later the markets for lead, zinc and copper advanced sharply and the mine was bought by Ascot Metals Corporation which has proceeded to deepen the workings to five levels and to install a more modern mill. The earnings possibilities of a 250 -ton mill are not generally recog- nized. It has been computed by that Ascot can expect to receive for its concentrates, on cars at Sher- brooke, Quebec, approximately $116,000 per month, with only min- ing and milling costs to be absorbed, These costs will not exceed $60,000 a month, leaving about $56,000 a month for operating profit, This rate of profit, which is com- puted on current prices for lead, zinc, copper, silver and gold in the ore, would mean $672,000 a year, or at the rate of 25 cents per share for the issued capital of 2,700,000 shares There may be fluctuations in the earnings, due to variations in the prices of metals and average content of the ore. However, it is obvious that substantial profits are predict- able. People unfamiliar with mining operations often do not recognize that there has been immense im- provement in recent years m the development and production of base metals ores and in the treatment of them to recover high values. New mills have given remarkable per- formances in employing improved processes and machines. Such prop- erties as Ascot and East Sullivan would not, even five years ago, have offered much chance for money mak- ing whereas today they can realize substantial profits, Ascot Metals Corporation started with considerable advantages. It had been opened to 300 ft. depth, had installed mining equipment, new buildings, power lines, water sup- ply and a highway to the door. The mine only required additional de- velopment and the installation of new milling equipment, which will start operation next July. Markets for metals are good and promise to persist. When in production the company will resume testing of the large property which formerly had two other producing trines on it, closed for years, but now of interest because of the high price of their metals, heck it with LAno4 acoNOMIeAL size 65c 17.4 Blot inhale the aooth ,ng healing fumes, fd qutak relief, ft's fan noting!
