Clean rugs mean cleaner rooms, fresher air and, in general brighter and more livable homes. they save labor, too, for the woman who does her own housework. Now, howto select a cleaner by looking at it, It cannot be donel Only trial in the home will tell a woinan whether. a cleaner will do her sweet- ing most satisfactorily or not. At the same time, to choose from the many models on the market is not an easy task, so a safe rule to follow is to go to an. established "defiler, choose from the makeswhich are manufactured by well organized firms of long standing, and try out the cleaner yourself in your own house.

The _eider duck- is an insectivorous hied whtoh, in addition to its proi.ec-. tivo`virtues, can he mads to provide a direct and handsome revenue; Yet no attempt has been made in Canada to exploit the. thousands of birds, and opportunity:exists for the building up of -an indaistey which, with the ,ase- quate protection of the ,birds, would. be eermatient, and, in fact, increasing. The industry can be made a per- manent one, because it is not necea• 'sary to kill the birds` to secure the down which is in such demand. In fact, where 'the most down is collect- ed it found that the birds increase in .numbers most rapidly. The ducks plunk the clown from their bodies to line their nests, and it is from the n,esits that it is gathered.. Two collec- tlone'of down areenade each year,. the first being evade shortly after the nests are built. This procedure does not interfere with the hatching of the eggs as the dunks immediately provicle a new supply. The second collection is made alber the eggs are hatched and the nests abandoned for the sea. - , The ,conservation of the cider dttek. in Europe hoe been practised for many years, and has resulted In the build- ing up of profitable industries in many eocatfons, especially in Iceland and Norway. There the birds are ce.efully protected in the nesting seasons, even the discharging of guns in the vicinity of nesting places boing etriotly forbid- den. I7zder such protection the birds become-eseeedingly tame and live around human. habitations as fearless- ly e - barnyard fowl. An idea of the value placed on the eider duck in these countries may be gitlned Proal the fact that not long ago an island' a t,of Iceland of ht square off the � co s g miles in extent, sold for approximately; i 1' on account of the eider' $200,000 so c y down produced there.

Strangely, the possibilities of developing a valuable industry have thus Par bean neglected by residents of the shores of the St, Lawronce Gull and along the Arctic coast who have - fe the eider duck a valuable resource, to some extent unique, to that its po- tentialities increase the more exten- lively it exploited. • Most of the successful women riders at the English Olympia horse show this year used an old-fashioned side• saddle: Only four of twenty-one con- petitors rode astride, Princess Mary, as a leader of fashion, rides side- saddle, and others point out that a woman not only looks more graceful riding in that way but needs to be a• better horse -woman.
