A heartbroken man, consumed
with remorse, pours out his grief
to me today. After six years of
married life, his wife was recently
killed in an acci-
dent. Nov, as -
he sits alone at
night, he real-
izes how unhap-
' py he made her
's, through his ne-
glect of the lit-
tle things that
mean so much
to a woman,
"I was never unfaithful, Anne
Hirst," he writes. "I was home
almost every night, She handled all
the money and -tad her own allow-
ance, But I failed her miserably
int one important .thing. -I never
gave her any attention.
"I would come home at night,
give her a peck on the cheek, and
ask if supper was ready. Afterward.
I d sit and read a while, and go
to bed. I never thought about her
being alone all day, and needing to
get out once in 0 while. I was just
tired and didn't want to stir, I never
talked over my business with Iter
because 1 [bought she wouldn't
understand it.
"I didn't realize how much she
was missing her friends, how all
her day's were dull. 1 gue- I felt
that because I paid the bills aol
supported her I was doing my duty.

LONG - SUFFERING WOMAN
"She never complained, except
now and then she'd say she felt
like a piece of furniture in the
house, I didn't even wonder what
she meant, Once she asked, if I
still loved her, why didn't I show
it? And I had the nerve to tell
her that romance doesn't last for-
ever!
"I should have known better.
She came from a very affectionate
family, I remember seeing her
father hold her mother in his arms
when he canoe in -and I thought
how silly that was. Her brothers
and sisters were the 'kissing kind,'
and it embarrassed nue. I was lov-
ing enough when I was alone with
her, but after we married I thought
that was nonsense. I even told her
one night how silly she was to
expect it!
I ant overcome with guilt and
self-reproach. Now that she is gone,
I'd give all I have to see her here
tonight. How I want to make up
for all I know she missed! The
house is an empty shell. I can't
bear to come back to it .. , I ]snow
there is no hope for me. I only
pray that now she understands and
will- forgive."
A LOST SOUL
* * *
If other husbands are reading
* this today. I hope they will won-
* der how contented their wives
* are with their marriage.
* Are FOL- failing your wife a,
c this husband did? W'ili you sit
* alone one day and wish with all
your heart you had shown how.
e much you loved her ani appre-
'° elated all she did for you?
e Few women there are who are
i. not romantic to the end of their
e days. They cherish every loving
a' word, each unasked caress. Their
* lives are regulated by your
• wishes, and all their days are
' spelt in trying to please you.
They will go without necessities,
* they will work beyond their
e strength, they will neglect their
* girlhood friends -just -to make
* sure you are kept happy. All
* they. ask in return is the daily
* assurance of your love, a pretty
* speech now and then, and that
e glint in your eye that tells them
* they are still "your girl."
* You love your wife, of course.
* Tell her so. And show it in all
* the little ways you knot/ she ap-
e preciates, Then it will not be you
* who sits alone with your miser-
able remorse. -
* TO "A LOST SOUL:" You
* can be sure that now your wife
*.understands and forgives. Con-
* sole yourself with this truth.
* Don't waste your energies now.
* Employ then: actively in your
* daily life. Be thoughtful of your
* friends (and hers) and excel in
your career. That will comfort
* you and keep your spirit tin-
* clouded by these useless hours of
* mourning.
* TO 'MRS. C.": This lonely
* husband's neglect of his wife al-
e most exactly parallels your bus-
* band's thoughtless attitude to-
* ward you. I hope you will see
* that he reads this today.
* * *
Spoil your wife while you still
have her. Then you will not suffer
the heartbreaking regrets that many
a man feels -when it is too late,
Anne Hirst is here to encourage
you. Write her at Box 1, '123

Millions of Strikes
All around the world men an:l
women are striping hatches at the
rate of about 20,000,0U0,I0U Per
day. Two countries -m -Sweden and
Finland -regard the matchstick as
a staple of industry and are pre-
paring to celebrate the centenary
of the safety match in modern style.
Have you an oxynturia:e. a pro•
ntethian, or a Lucifer? If not, will
you please pass the congreyes or
the chlorates? Nearly a century
ago the first crude safety matches
bore these imposing name;.
They were marvels of efficiency
compared with such cumbersome
tire -raisers as the rusblight, 11lnt-
tinder, and phosphorous bottle.
It was a Frenchman tubo invent-
ed the first chemical match, a Ger-
man who improved it, a Swede who
gave the wheel of progress another
turn -and an Englishman named
John Walker discovered the high-
way to the wooden matches of to-
day.
The Frenchman, 21. Chancel,
coated a sulphur stick with a paste
of chlorate of potash, sugar and
gnnl, tuoched it against sulphuric
acid in asbestos fibre and found
that it struck) A box of Chancel's
matches, complete with asbestos,
Cost fifteen sh flings.
The pltosporous match horror
was invented in Gerncany. Not
only were the risks of manufacture
appalling. for the matches exploded
on slight friction, hut the Runes
of the factory caused a disease of
the jaty.
With rigorous fac tory inspection,
cleanliness and ventilation, matches
today are reasonably safe in manu-
facture and focus a trade worth
$x00,000,000 a year.

Tit For Tat
At least one farmer has been
able to turn the tables on that par-
ticularly objectionable breed of pic-
nicker's who break into a field with-
out asking and leave it looking as
if a garbage cart had bean over-
turned.
This farmer managed to catch
the licence number of the picnickers'
car as it departed, and looked up
the ownership at the licence bureau.
The following Sunday, with all itis
family and pets, the farmer turned
up at the town house owned by the
picnic party family. There was no
one at 'home, of course -the people
were probably out despoiling an-
other bit of countryside -so the
farmer's family staged a full-scale
picnic on the well -kept lawn.
Needless to say they made no
attempt to clean up afterward and
left the town dweller's lawn and
garden in the same disgraceful shape
that he and his family had left the
farmer's place the week before.
Leaning Tower
Is Doomed
Leaning Tower of Pisa (179 ft.)
is getting a little more lop -sided.
Experts responsible for its preserva-
tion report that it has moved a
quarter of an inch farther since
1939 and is now 17ft. out of true.

crete into the 10£t. foundations and

underlying reason is a stratum of

Gwwndoltt'se. P CI colts
1 here is one naught uppermost
in the minds of most people .these
days -the railway strike. It is a ter-
rible thing -not only- in fact but by
implication. One wonders what
hope there is of peace between na-
tions if disputants in one coutttly
cannot cometo an agreement
among themselves. A strike is very
much like a war in one respect -
everyone suffers -and when it is
all over it is questionable if any-
thing has been gained, no matter
which side come; out on top.
Around here we have suffered
little more than inconvenience from
the strike but already we are hear-
ing first-hand stories occurring in
remote districts. Truckers returning
from isolated points report that it
is practically impossible for a stran-
ger to buy so much as a loaf of
bread, In this district it is strange,
during the night, never to hear a
train whistle at all, nor the rumble
of wheels on the track. An_i when
we go down town during the day
we notice as w•e cross the tracks
that already the rails arc red with
rust, and dogs play around near the
wh'stle stop where never a dog was
seen before. Also as the:, approach
the level crossing most people still
brake their cars and look both ways
to make sure no train is conning!
Strange what habit can do, It looks
crazy, of coarse, but on the other
Kant! it is a good ]habit to hang
on to. Better
to stop a few Imes
when it isn't necessary than to
forget and not stop when it is
necessary.
Another thing rte don't like just
now is the heat -or rattler the
humidity. Heat we can take in our
stride but heat, plus humidity, is
another story. And today is Chil-
dren's Day at the Exhibition! The
passing of the years has some
compensation - at least we don't
have to go through the ordeal of
giving the youngsters a good
tine" at the Big Fair. But of
course, we didn't think it was
such a terrible ordeal when we
had it to do. Biddies do have such
a wonderful time , . , or is the
expectation the best part of it .
and talking about it afterwards to
their little friends? Maybe young-
sters sort of lose prestige among
their owe crowd if they are not
given this treat -that is, the ones
within reasonable distance of Tor
onto. Actually, as far as having
a good title is concerned I believe
youngsters enjoy themselves just
as much, if not more, at their own
local fair. There they can be les
louse to run with the gang. And
many of them have a personal
interest in local fall fair exhibits,
Stand around tiear the school ex-
hibits for awhile and it won't be
long before yon{ hear some young-
ster say in a shrill, excited voice -
"See ... that's What we did -that's
' our school that won first prize!"
Or watch the young competi-.
tors in tate Calf Club ... see tate
glow of pride in young Sammmy's
face when HIS calf gets the red
ribbon. But we should remember
the boy who doesn't win probably
worksjust St a9 hard with 11
his calf -
maybe just a few points made all
the difference.
That boy needs
dS
C
encouragement and understanding
to forestall any feeling of- bitter-
ness, He mush notc
b allowed '
w to
get the idea that the judging wasn't
8 8
fair . . , that although he worked
just as hard as Sammy -and to
hint his calf looked every bit as
good yet someone has to be• first
by however small a margin -and
next time it may be hien, Competi-
tion is good for tltc purpose of a
worthwhile achievement -it is also
good as a means of dcreloping
good sportsmanship. So, if for
some reason it is impossible for
youngster's to have a clay at the
C.N.I. don't let then[ feel the bot-
tom has dropped out of the uni-
verse -after the B•ig Fair comes the
local fair -and that is something
they are sure not to miss.
And now let's talk about flies!
What a topic, you say! Weil, I
don't like them either -I Ioatlte,
hate and detest them. But 3 have
found a tray of coping with them.
There is a new fly killer On the
market -for barn use• -which eo4ues
in powder form. You mix it with
water and use as an ordinary spray
-arid it does not cocain D.D.T.
So- I thought I would try it too, I
mixed it double strength and used
it in the woodshed, It worked all
right. Nov anyone can come into
the kitchen unattended by a van-
guard and rearguard of flies. The
few that do come in are easily
dealt with by using ordinary house-
hold spray - the• other cannot he
used in the house as it stains.
But here is a warning. Some
people have tried this powder spt ay
and find it doesn't work. There is
only one explanation -they don't
use enough of it: You must spray
and spray until your arm is ready
to drop orf -or use a power sprayer.
Give it a chance and it will work.
A BIG BRAIN DOESN'T
MEAN YOU'RE A GENIUS
Does the size of the brain afford
a true measure of mentality.' Sci-
entists are trying to find out,' and
so far their conclusions are that
ar, oversize brain does not neces-
sarily mean that the owner is a
genius.
However, there is evidence that
unusually small brains go with men-
tal defectives. Dr. R. J. A. Berry,
formerly Professor of Anatomy at
the University of Melbourne, shade
thousands of skull measurements
and found that mentally defective
children bad brains on the average
20 per cent smaller than normai.
The Average
Professor- Berry also measured
the skull size of living university
teachers, students and criminals.
The result, in average cubic centi-
metres of brain space was: Tea-
chcrs, 1,524 cc.: Students, 1,507 re,;
Criminals 1,438 cc.
Largest brain recorded in medical
history was that of Ivan Turgenev.
This nineteenth-century Russian
novelist had a brain weighing 74
ounces. Weight of 041 average man's
brain is 48 ounces,
